13 July 2008 page 11, 1350$ that was the week of the North Sea Jazz Festival so I was busy going there...
Too much work last week and no time for music... and it may happen again this week... I am not happy about it but this is life...
I did hand over 2 CDs for the shows I did record, still 2 to go...
6 July 2008 page 11, 1340$ back to slow increase... The effect of being in the charts seems passed. It will happen again...
I forgot last week to tell the first words on me in the tribune:
http://www.sellaband.com/tribune/edition87/ The statement is the following: '
Highest new entry is none other than CyLu who is making a spectacular transition from Believer to Artist in his own right. He's new at #4. '
The gig with the choir was fun and 1 of the concert gig I recorded is progressing... Between work and these projects, time flies....
29 June 2008 Page 11. 1330$ thank you Fellschildkröte and Vegas Whaley I am happy to have you on-board.
My 'Summer' action has increased the numbers of tracks played and profile views as hoped. 2k views has passed this way... I hope to convince people that I am doing it seriously and will keep supporting myself (although I don't know yet how I could finance everything on my own, I will finance myself to a high level..)
This week I finished the edit and a CD for the chamber music I recorded, I also recorded a young duet (guitar and voices) which was a nice experience. Still have 2 projects recorded to finnish the edition so I am busy with music although I wish I could have more time to work on my songs... but I am not rushing the things, I know it will take me 3 years or more to get to the 50k so time is with me on this side (prove me wrong and I offer the champagne!)
Next week, another small concert with the choir I'm singing it and more time for music editing... I'll keep you aware of the progress.
22 June 2008 Page 11 1.3k Thank you Whitefarmer and Steve M. It feels good to have you supporting me. Now, the climb in pages will be slow and it's normal.
Summer is being kind to me (so far) I hope it will continue that way..
Recorded another gig by local groups at my work. More work on the music, more fun but dam the lack of time to do it properly...
This week I should be around and making some music and some additional recording.
15 June 2008 Page 22 Thank you Simon, Corta and Phil. I feel really humble with all of you supporting me in this adventure.
This week, I did record some chamber music by amateurs and I am busy finalising the CD for them... Next week works drive me out of the country... I wish I have the time...
Anyway, I feel I have to go for it and put more effort in and I will!
I have not even try my new bass guitar! What a shame! Time again...
I wish you a good week anyway.
8 June 2008 Page 23 again... a lot of artists are going up at that level since it is difficult to stay at this page! Anyway 390$ currently Thanks to Lady Haidee ( I feel honored to have a in my believers - thanks again)
I have to add a translation for 'Insomnies' even if I know I will change it one day...
Due to a busy week at work, my new songs have been progressing relatively slow but I know that I will be slow adding new songs- anyway, I will post a new song in June even if it is not 'finished' yet just to make you listen to it.
1 June 2008 Page 23 again... was page 24 for a while but back to 23.. 370$ already there. I have found a way to go in the chart but it will still require a few weeks to show-up... (let's keep a bit my little secrets!)
The logo has been made and is on my page. I think it is good. Don't hesitate to post a comment with your opinion on it.
I have started to record another song. I hope it will be ready before the end of June. Already made some guitar on it (of course). Just not having enough time to make all the things I's like to do but that's life.
25 May 2008 Page 23 Thanks to Enrico, the number of believers is increasing; total is now at 360$ Still a long way to go but patience will tell if my dream is unrealistic.
I have a friend who makes nice drawings and I have ask him for a logo. He came this week with a first idea and it is already great. I will wait him to declare he is ready before using it- no urgency - I still indent to spent some time before getting neared the famous 50k! (lol)
I have just posted Insonmies and I am already thinking to re-do it!; 1st the electric guitar is not as synchronised to the voicing and also I wonder if I could make it more into a jazzy version? I will make some tests to try different things and I'll see where it will go.
Also still working of my new 'Kristen's ' song. Making it more fitting under my fingers and thinking about the arrangements, ideas for intro and outro to try...
I believe I will also start working on another song- to have one ready in June!
17 May 2008 Page 25 progress has been better thanks to PV/Nearfield and Bill- thank you again both of you. Thank you to you all who are helping me to get nearer to my dream.
We passed the 1k Profile views this week but only 248 tracks played: ratio seems to be 1/4!
The new song is ready and should appear this week on the profile (I still have to transfer it from my 'studio' machine to a CD and then to MP3). Started a new song on a poem from Kristen. It looks like her poems inspire me... I have now a melody for the lyrics, some nice chord positions to go with it, a melody between verse and ideas for style and instruments to add. main things to work on are intro and outro.
11 May 2008 Page 27 still but 10$ closer...
Continued recording this new song this week. I still have to do some refinement on the solo, the final voice and the final mix... Alone, all of that takes time. I dream I could be rich enough just to do music- lol
More progress next week!
4 May 2008 Page 27! still some progress
The order of the songs was changed last week and probably will change again this week.
I have started recording of another song... more info as soon as some real progress there... (it should be a more rhythmic one!)
27 April 2008 Page 28! still some progress...
First draft translation of "La falaise" text is in the show section.
Was fun in ZWOEL last week I did appreciate the music of Einstein Barbies very much!
Talentcast has broadcast the Snowfall song this Sunday 27th A BIG thanks to them!
I was not able to change the order of the song, the SAB SW seems to stop before allowing the chance to do it! But I will try again...
20 April 2008 Page 29! progress is slow (as expected!) but steady since we are now at 220$.
I will continue to ask friends outside of SAB for their support to get things moving a bit. Will start as well on the work for a 4th song to be posted. I have a draft translation of "la falaise..." and will post it soon.
I will change the order of songs again (just for fun!)
And I will be going to ZWOEL in Amsterdam! Was fun to listen to my interview on Talentcast.nl. Let's keep the fun!
Also thinking to upload photos.
13 April 2008 First Believers- Week 1... Page 37! What a jump!
After the start (midnight passed last week) I was curious to see whether my friends will see I had started my artist page on Monday but Brian was already there with a message and my first part! Thank you very much again.
After my first believer, I started to support myself and after 1 week, 7 other believers are supporting me! Thank you all! We are now at 130$...
One of my friend suggested to change the order of the songs so, let's try it.
I have a first draft of a translation of my song:"la falaise et les nuits blanches". As soon as it it ready, I will post it in my 'show tab'.
And I was in Almelo-Shamrock -Great Night that was! Met many artists and believers (the legend MaWa between others!). MissY and Johan (from talentcast) took the opportunity to do an interview with me! (promise, I will register to Talentcast soon!)
06 April 2008 The start... page 721! Hurray!
