With Covid on the rise again we’ve decided to go into another self-imposed lockdown, or what Paul McCartney appropriately called Rockdown!
.
I’m going to spend the next couple of months here at Swagman Studios updating tracks and getting them ready for the NEXT album.
.
Incidentally, I found a new way of recording vocals here at my studio and it’s going to make the recording process a lot easier and hopefully quicker. The first song off the lot using the new system is called High and Mighty – a song about needing nothing but your perfect partner in life!
.
I’m also experimenting with fresher sounding rhythms and new vocal lines so I can learn to stay relevant in the modern music world. I’ve been listening to some more recent artists to see how they go about writing and producing their tracks. It’s weird because music has changed a lot since I was a kid but thankfully songwriting has pretty much stayed the same. The main difference is that these days there are more lyrics per second than there used to be!
.
Next week I’m going to start putting my Never2Late album up on Bandcamp. It’s been on sale at Amazon and Apple for a while now but I wanted to have a complete profile of my work on Bandcamp, mainly because I can set my own prices there, something you can’t do with the major retailers. I’ll let you know more about that as it happens.
.
Just to let you know, my tracks are doing better on Spotify now I’ve started sending out this newsletter. Plus, I’ve gained about 50 new followers on Facebook in the last month. Woohoo!
.
Have a wonderful 2022. When the dust subsides, I’m sure life will get back to normal and we can start to enjoy ourselves again.
.
Thanks for listening.
