Newsletter update!!
Hi my musical friends!
Here's another update about how things are going.
I finally started writing my first couple of tracks for the Arctic Project.
It will be a soundtrack-like album and my goal is to release it on CD and mp3.
At the moment I just don't have the money for all the stuff I need to mix the tracks to a professional level but I'm trying to get the money.
I already sold some stuff, my cellphone, a keyboard, etc and I can almost buy one of the important effects for the mixing stage.
I must admit that my health has been playing up lately and some days I just don't have the strength to enter my studio. But every time I get a mail from someone to say hello or to subscribe to the newsletter that really gives the strength to go on. Thank you so much!
I'm not signed with a label, everything I do I have to do myself.
It means a lot of work and I have to buy every effect or whatever is needed for album production myself and I can tell you things are expensive.
But if I were to release an album or track I want you guys to enjoy the music on its best.
So I'm still looking for ways to gather money for production (there's only so much you can sell) but I'm convinced this will happen and I will be so proud if I can tell you guys that you can buy an album at iTunes.
My website is totally outdated, MySpace is no longer an option for an artist. Facebook has removed their music player so now no one can listen to the tracks I had. You now need a "catalogue" aka a CD and 5000 likes for your artist page and that will earn you a "listen" button on your artist page. At the moment I have 165 likes, so I've got a long way to go. ;-)
This button will redirect you to an music site or app like Deezer etc where you can listen to my music. I thought the Internet was meant to make things easier for an independent music producer, I guess it's a money issue, I don't know.
Well, I will focus on my music first and after that I will setup a website, hopefully with a direct link to iTunes or CDBaby.
I hope to offer visitors of my future website videos as well but like I said, music is the most important factor now and I have to shoot the videos myself.
Again, thanks for you support, it keeps me going and I will upload new stuff as soon as I have something decent. It will probably be a fade in and fade out kinda deal because N1M doesn't support long tracks. But I am busy with Soundcloud as well, they offer you a lot of server space.
I will let you know when the time is there.
Many greetings everyone!
Have a smashing day wherever you are!
You guys rule!
