The idea in your head sparks imagination; all you can think of is how wonderful it would be. Not for one minute does the thought of how hard it will be pop into your head. How long it will take and how much creativity, dedication and ingenuity it will demand. My god, it was worth it though. :')
For those of you who follow my posts, and have taken the time to look at myself playing piano on YouTube, I am talking about my debut album - Quando Diciamo Addio. I spoke before about the build up; the work that I was doing at that time to bring the finished product to life. I'm hugely proud and quite literally ecstatic to announce that QDA is now very much with us! :D. The journey is one that even I would struggle to put to words - but the important thing is, it's here! I'm genuinely proud of myself, and that's not something you ever heard me say…EVER! I'm also incredibly happy right now, which again is something I can never really recall properly.
The realist in me tells me that as quick as it's come ain't nothing in comparison to the speed of which it can depart. I'd therefore be telling a lie of such disgusting untruth it'd be punishable by imprisonment if I were to say I wasn't enjoying and savouring this time right now. Even though the end of production is the beginning of a new chapter of hard work, in promoting and getting the right people to listen to my pieces, I'm seriously enjoying being this busy. Being able to get my head down and crack on with work that actually - hopefully - will be beneficial to me is an excellent feeling of completion.
I have received many international orders for the CD's I have at present. This is something I love! I really get a kick out of holding a CD, popping it into a jiffy bag and saying to myself "the next time that CD sees the light of day, it'll be the Californian sunshine".
It's not just that. I've always been a firm believer that we, as human beings, should more than anything else, leave some form of creativity for people to remember us by for when we're dead and gone. This, for me, is that.
So, that's all for now. You'll be hearing a lot more from me soon, and some more exciting things coming up ;)
