New Album "Cinématique"

Well, here it is, my 5th album "Cinématique." A little over 4 years ago I was just getting started using a DAW and virtual instrument libraries and I found this event called February Album Writing Month or FAWM.  I had only written a couple of songs, but I decided to give the album writing challenge a try.  I was amazed by the supportive and creative environment that FAWM provided for musicians.  I quickly discovered having a goal and a deadline really helped me to push through my perfectionism and to just write and put out music. 

This year’s FAWM was really challenging for me as I couldn’t finish the goal in February, but it didn’t matter because I had still written more music than I otherwise would have.  I also challenged myself to go further by getting into sampling which I had never done before.  I sampled some really great tracks, and I had a blast reworking them into something new. I finished what I could in February and kept writing over the next couple months until I finally finished the album.

I’ve never been much of a journal person, but I’ve realized my music and these albums are my personal journal.  It is fun to look back and listen to what I was creating, the life events that made me express music in that way and reflect on how I’ve grown as a musician and person.  It will be fun to listen back to this new album in 5 years and reflect on where I was in life and how much more I have grown.

If you want to listen to "Cinématique" you can listen on YouTube, Bandcamp, or SoundCloud (links below).  I write this music for myself, but it is truly a joy to get to share it with the world and I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoy making it.
