A brief recap of the events leading to the creation of this blog

After playing in a couple of extremely mediocre rock bands(making a decent amount of cash) and starting a total mess of a girl-fronted indie band(losing a decent amount of cash) I thought my career as a recording musician needed a change in direction.

I took the approx. 80-100 songs I wrote for the aforementioned disasterous girl group and decided that at this stage of my artistic development the time was right to release a proper solo album. I played a couple demo versions of these new compositions to an acclaimed songwriter-friend of mine(who was 100% mesmerized by them) and he suggested that i ship these rough demo's to some producer guy named Jonas(name changed).

While flattered by his response i was very skeptical of the idea of working with an outside producer in this particular session and after reviewing Jonas's body of work my skepticism grew stronger, I decided to leave him outside the project. A couple of other up and coming producers showed interest in the material but i decided that in order to truly capture the soundscapes i had envisioned for the album i needed to have 100% artistic freedom.

I contacted a recording engineer/sound designer called Mr. T(name changed) and we started the painstaking process of converting my apartment into a full-fledged recording studio. After shelving out a ridiculous heap of cash(estimates between 20.000-30.000 dollars, not including the fees of Mr. T) and a couple of false starts we have now entered the tracking phase for the record. Our goal is nothing more than creating a work of mystical perfection, "a grandiose theme album of epic proportions" as an article in the the local media descibed it.

In this blog i will document these recording sessions and offer some insight into the creative process of my magnum opus. The rest is history, yet to be written...
