The Sample is back.
So i’ve been trying to move all my music to one spot on the net. I really like bandcamp.com. They allow for the most profit to the artist and give the listeners more then one option when buying and listening to music. So i recently uploaded my 2006 sample album and attached this story to go with it. Enjoy:
n 2006 i wrote 8 of songs i was pretty happy with. My mom gave me her old desktop imac and away i went. Kick started garageband and just wanted to get some ideas down. I recorded these in a two bedroom TVA apartment at BYUH with sometimes screaming babies or the sound of neighbor slippers walking down the stairs by my window :). There’s nothing amazing about this record except that for me it captures perfectly 2006. Almost graduated from college, having two little baby boys, trying to figure out what to do with my next few years out of school.
As far as music goes i really had no big goals. With these recordings i did a little concert along side my senior fine art show. My main goal was to some how figure out how to get these recordings on itunes! “itunes is where you can get Coldplay” i would think and so i wanted to have my music there as well. That was my musical goal of 2006. Turns out not to be to tough after all :). Itunes 2006! SUCCESS!!!
After graduaction i found a musical website called www.sellaband.com. I looked at it as a bank account for a future record. 50K was the goal and even if i raised it myself i would at least have that money aside to make a real album. So i uploaded THESE tracks to the site. I was very shocked to find 110.00 towards my album the next day after uploading my first simple tracks. The love kept coming and people could hear my potential. I was moved over and over by peoples/believers kindness and 4 months after signing up on www.sellaband.com raised 50K!!! A goal i thought i’d be waiting 50 years for happened before my young eyes! SUCCESS!!
4 of these tracks made it on my 2007 professionally recorded album. I am always writing but this i am very happy to share “the sample” with you as a time capsule to my beginnings of Cubworld :).
