How’s everyone doing?
It’s Monday morning and I’m sitting in my office again. During the last few weeks I’ve been on my summer holiday – and it was great! Besides having an amazing time with my wife either at home or trekking in the Bavarian Alps, I dedicated most of my free time to promote my new album. The first feedback is exceptionally good: people seem to like the album and say heartwarming things about the progress I made. This kind of positive feedback always surprises me in the best sense of the word – I spent too much time with writing, recording and polishing this album, and now I’m unable to objectively see its strengths and weaknesses anymore. I suppose the positive feedback is probably due to the maturation of the sound and the inclusion of vocals. It was interesting to see how many people can connect to a song with lyrics rather than to pure instrumental compositions! And to tell the truth, I also feel relieved that finally I could express myself better than before, when I still only used instruments to transmit my feelings and thoughts. While creating instrumentals, I always felt that something was missing – I had to rely exclusively on sounds – now with vocals it’s far easier, far more versatile.
Also, I started writing the new album. Yes, you’ve read it well: I started the preparatory work for a new release, even though the last one was published only a few days ago. This time I plan to utilize a different approach: first I create a concept for the whole album, finalize the lyrics and only then I’ll start writing the music. Next time I’ll tell you more about that.
One more important thing: in the future I’ll write more blog posts like this. Please subscribe to it, so you don’t miss these updates!
