I was recently immersed in an online Indie Music competition, which if nothing else, provided a bit of free PR. I usually get a bit agitated when asked to “compete” in an artistic format. Certainly we don’t put the designs of painters up against each other in competition. Hmmmm.....In this case however, I was able to see the value in this proposition and greatly appreciated the chance to be a part of a great resource for Indie Music. It’s about time that someone comes out and supports this format without “nickel & diming” the musician. I am thankful to Deborah at Rising Star Artists for the work that she does in this industry and for the opportunity. The video entry, filmed by Frankie Latina, was from previous album called MUSIC FROM EARTH. Although promotion of the new CD is of utmost importance, this project proved to be splendiferous for gaining a bit of attention. I am looking antecedently to continuing a relationship with Rising Star Artists.
A song from BETWEEN THE SUN & THE MOON was featured on 91.1FM WGTD, a local NPR affiliate, every day this past week. This to me, was an exciting experiment in frequency modulation. Favorable circumstances for reception and reflection indeed. I am much obliged to Dave McGrath for the airtime and fantastical exposure in this stations support of local musicians. Une grande réussite!
The new songs are being prepared in their physical form and will be for available for acquisition in early March along with an expanded website and merchandise. I feel that we are building up a full head of steam and ready to head into the aether after a few minor adjustments. Cogs and sprockets have been oiled, gears and whatsits are checked and balanced, and composition mixed with brand as we prepare to travel by dragonfly. We are weeks away from a new voyage….
