Record an album

Today we decided that we must finish our album by March. So there is a lot of work to be done! 1 month ago

Ok, let’s see. I’ve fabricated a list of 13 song titles + 1 bonus track. Two of the songs on this list were already made and need only a little (if any) editing. There’s 3 songs in progress right now, one of which I started today. I think some of these titles won’t be turned into songs, but will function as short instrumental transitions between them. I can feel this album’s going to be my absolute masterpiece when it’s done. I’ll be sure to create a bandcamp page and sell my music on there.

And yeah, this project really inspires me and all, but it’s really hard on me too! This alternative reality of mine fills me with all sorts of negative emotions such as shame, regret and depression… And I haven’t met a lot of people over the weekend, so accompanied with the lonelines I’m prone to believe that all of this alternative reality crap could be real. But part of my research is to look up on the people I used to talk to everyday, and they seem to achieve a lot of great things in life. It makes me feel guilty for wallowing in the past so much! I would say I’m fighting a psychosis here, but truly, all of this is just inspiring me to achieve greater things in life: Such as selling my music, which was my dream at the time, might I add.

My goal with this album, is to make all who listen to it able to feel just what it’s like to experience my alternative reality, if only for a short moment. But most of all, I just want to seal it away and never think of it again! This bubble of mine still contains my hopes and dreams though. I tried to pop it before, but it wouldn’t! It’s hard to continue living on without them, and so I figured: What cannot be real, could still be replicated. That’s right, I’m doing this to get back what is rightfully mine, hehe. 1 month ago

I’ve actually gotten a good album idea on the very last moment of this year! I’ve decided on an album that tells the story of my psychosis, 5 years ago. By linking the track names to events, I don’t have to write any uncomfortable lyrics about all that is happening. Although I might use some old poems I had written at the time. I might also blend in a few songs I used to listen to back then. In the end it should be about 13 songs long, I think. But I might add a few bonustracks: Songs I made during the time of my psychosis. 1 month ago

I used to have this on my “list” when I was in my last band, I recorded 2 songs in Japan and circulated them around some bars with some success so I cross this off the “list.” But, now, years later I don’t feel like this is something I have to revisit because I stopped after 2 songs, rather, it doesn’t feel like a goal anymore, it’s just creative expression that seems fun to work into a collection organically. So, it’s not that I gotta do this, it’s because I can! 3 months ago
