#1: Minutia Remix Project – Mingle
I haven’t been feeling much like blogging for some time, because tweeting seemed the perfect form for what I wanted to express. Lately I’ve gotten a lot of very positive and uplifting tweets, emails and…

Bloomy news
Finally there’s time for a day off and an update of all things bloomy. As planned I recorded some mbira for ‘A Little’. I came up with some really nice melodies, but they made such…

It’s a tie
Alright, it’s been a long time since I’ve written a real update. There’s just so much else to do… but I promise to squeeze it in sometime this week. The Hobnox Competition is in its last week…

Deadlines & Lifelines
I’m here at my parents and since there’s nothing much to do here tonight I thought I’d finally catch you up on what I’ve been up to. I don’t want to apologise for not writing for…

M.I.A.
Yep, missing in action. The action being the finishing touches for the album. Sorry for being such a slacker. It’s for the greater good 😉 Drum roll: 6 songs finished. That’s half of the album.…

Warblings
Been a busy bee singing singing singing. Then listening back and editing. I’m starting to get sick and tired of hearing my voice all the time. One day I love what I’ve recorded, the next…

Ticking off boxes
Alright, it’s sooo time for an update. The three days on Usedom were great. Got some sun (and quite some freckles), hit the waves and relaxed. Three days without my music to gain some perspective…

All over the charts
After writing last time I gave myself a four day break from my music. Spent the days cleaning and tidying up my flat (couldn’t stand the mess anymore), clothes shopping (it’s sale after all) and…

Hermit in a Cave
Yep, that’s me. Busy trying to finish the album. It’s finally time for warblings and I’ve once again locked myself in the studio. And for the cave, well, since I neither have an acoustically treated…

More loose ends
This week I’ve arranged two songs for other people in the same project as me with the music producer. This time he’d given me great songs that I’d listen to anytime. So it was pretty…

Tidying and ‘The Tide’
Another week gone by. It was great visiting friends and family once more even though I have to admit I didn’t get as much done as hoped, but at least as much as expected. Thursday…

As promised, here comes the sequel… So what else have I been up to lately… Last Tuesday was the last hot day for a while and since I hadn’t had much time to enjoy the…

Live life live
Really been slacking off with the blog writing business. So this might be a long one. The gig at Schokoladen went okay. I was pretty nervous, still got a lot of stage fright which will…

I don’t like Mondays… and computers
Been busy trying to rearrange some of my new songs so I can play them live. I wasn’t expecting it to take soooo long, but it does. Ran into some problems today when I realised…

Building blocks
Thursday was the – for now – last day I worked on ‘The Tide’. I wrote some more bits for the string arrangement and added a great middle 8 that adds perfectly to the dramatic…
