Good News!
I mentioned a few posts back about this multi-album/EP project I’ve quietly been diving into.
Philosophically, it centers around the concept of Hiraeth - homesickness for a place to which you can never return. Which is where we all find ourselves, in some way or another.
I’m beginning to reach out to touring friends, asking if they might like to play something, or sing something, or bash something against something else. I’ve got the songs picked out for the first installment, five tunes I’m thinking, all written during quarantine.
The idea is to take everything to the finish line myself - writing, arranging, producing, engineering, the whole deal - which is why I’ve been quiet until now, because I don’t know what I’m doing, and when you’re fortunate enough to have people in your life who do know what they’re doing, they’re inclined to tell you how to do things, which is antithetical to my goal of basking in edifying, blissful ignorance for, possibly, the rest of my life.
So, yes. This is what will consume every waking hour for the next little while. More to come.
