The label has confirmed that they will be releasing the full album in November. It will be available online to download for free. I'll also be working on a new song for a compilation and a remix of another artists song for a separate compilation, both to be released early next year. If work ever settles down a bit, I'll start working on new songs for another full-length release. I plan on ...

Chechnyan Love Album Release - Coming Soon
Record Deal
So it looks like I have a record deal wit a small indie label in Germany. It's nothing big in the world of music, but I'm thrilled. Just the fact that a label sought me out means a lot. I'll post more details once everything is confirmed.Samuel

RPM Challenge - Complete
I drove to the local post office yesterday and dropped off my album. A wave of relief came over me just knowing that it is complete and that I won't be tweaking the songs until the end of time. I, of course, am not completely satisfied with any of the songs (some less so than others), but I am more than content with the outcome given the short amount of time allocated to the project. The music

RPM Challenge - Day 24
Well, the album is theoretically done. The songs are completed, mixed and mastered to the best of my limited ability. I burned a disc to throw in the car so I have a couple of days to review it before sending it in on Saturday. I'm really hoping that there isn't anything that I need to edit at this point. It's hard for me to complete anything musical because I'm never satisfied and I want t...

RPM Challenge - Day 16
Saturday saw some much needed progress for a few songs that are now complete. They still need to be mixed down and mastered, but that will happen next weekend. I thought that I would have between twelve and fourteen songs on the album but I scrapped several last night, which brings me down to around ten or eleven now. Today is my final day for completing the remaining songs, so it's going to b

RPM Challenge - Day 17
Somehow I managed to complete eleven songs totaling around fifty minutes. There are nine full length tracks and an intro and outro for the album. I really hope that I don't hear anything glaringly horrible as I review the songs this week. I ended up cutting a handful of almost-complete songs over the weekend and even wrote some new ones. Next weekend (the last one) will be dedicated to mixing

RPM Challenge - Day 10
Day ten (Sunday) proved to be much more fruitful than Saturday. Over the past two weekends I have come up with twenty-two song ideas. Of those, I have eleven that may actually become songs and I'd venture to guess that eight or nine of those will make it onto the album. So far only one song is nearly complete and only needs a very minor tweaking. Several others are close to that point, but ...

RPM Challenge - Day 9
For several days last week I played the songs I am working on in the car on my way to and from work. Over and over I listened to them and, perhaps unsurprisingly, I scrapped over half of them. The remaining four (out of eleven) from the first weekends recordings need some work, but I'm happy enough with them. Regardless, I don't have time to start over completely from scratch. Yesterday (da...
