That’s it, boys and girl. There are no more Physical CDs for my “Monsters In Rome” record left. I have released the record 15 months ago, and I have no more CDs left. That’s it!

You can still get the music by downloading it from my music page – it is absolutely free.

If you want to give me money anyway, you can do so by donating. I am really happy to receive donations, as I have more to spend on advertising and getting the word out there.



You can also share the music by choosing a player from the Share/Embed link on the music page. You should get a player something like the one above to share on your Facebook, blog or website. Thanks for the support!

As a bonus, I’ve put the ‘Jabulani‘ single back on the site for free download. In memory of the FIFA World Cup of 2010.

Most musicians can get from one album to the next just like that. It seems like that is not the case with me. I have been promoting my “Monsters In Rome” record for more than a year now, though I have a few songs ready for recording already. There are more and more ideas coming that keep me in place, every other day there is a new thing that comes to mind which can be done with all the things associated with this record.



For once, we have Liszto, the webcomic for musicians with the latest episode (No. 13, mind you!), titled “The Inspiration“, which features the artwork of Monsters.

Also, I will be promoting some of the songs from the record in a series of live shows very soon now (September 16 and 17, that is). I also have to mention that I will be performing with two friends of mine, who will be accompanying me on base and drums. I am hoping for some really strong shows with the rhythm section backing me up like this!

I haven’t given up on the video for the song “Monsters In Rome” either. Ideas are still being tossed back and forth regarding as to how we will actually get this done, but it will be done, I’m sure.

That is it for now. We are working hard on the 4 shows we will be playing on the 16th and 17th, so I might not be able to blog about anything until then.

Bye.

Dear friends!

I still haven’t figured out a way to become famous. Maybe I can beg for ideas later on, but I have to come up with my own for now. This is how I wound up talking for two hours with Endi about a video for Monsters In Rome. I’ve realized I will most likely never be able to organize the production of a full video on my own, and I really like his approach when it comes to photography. I am really confident about this. Maybe it will get me some recognition outside my usual environment (I’ve just recently learned how to spell “environment” properly btw). We’ve talked about a series of ideas, but our favorite so far involves addiction. We are still working on that…

In the meantime, summer is coming to an end. Which makes me sad because I’ve had some ideas which will remain unexploited for now.

I also discovered Body & Soul. Can anyone get me in here? I promise, I’ll do a good job! I love festivals like this.

Asides from the video for Monsters, I was also thinking about maybe producing a live video for a new song (called “Why”). We have been rehearsing in a small apartment lately (did I mention: two good-musician-friends will be assisting me to a festival in September? I am loving the trio line-up!) and it would make a cool film, I think. Just something to get my, ehem, fans into the feel of the album that I am working on.

Also, I’ve noticed that some people haven’t been helping me out as much as they could have. And that is my fault. I haven’t been asking for help. Well, I need it. So here’s a few things that you could do to get Indie Folker noticed and more out-there:

FIRSTLY: You can tweet and facebook and blog all of my activity, you can share my music on anything you want. Hell, you can even use it for whatever you want (as long as you credit me for the songs, of course). I have videos. Share them. Share my tracks. Just get the word out there! Do you use Last.fm? Thesixtyone? How about Jango? I am everywhere, so just help me out! I will be grateful.

SECONDLY: We are working really hard to publish Liszto, the web comic for musicians. Do you know any musicians? Tell them about Liszto. Tell everybody! Share the website on your facebook, twitter, blog, bumper sticker, whatever. We put a lot of time into getting these things done, and we appreciate all the help we get. The smallest gesture counts. Trust me, we will notice!

I will just end on that note for now.

Later, friends!
