This weekend, I created the first draft of what I believe will be the last song on my forthcoming CD La famille du solénoïde.
La famille du solénoïde is a musical tour through our solar system inspired by the book “The Planets” by Dava Sobel.
The track is God of the Sea (Neptune) and remember, it’s a work in progress, and will not be the final version that shows up on the CD
Like I did previously with Ouranos the Progenitor (Uranus), I’m releasing the current draft in full. The rest of the tracks (Like all the other CD Products I have listed on my music site) are just 2 minute samples of the full tracks. I have also reduced my previous full release of the draft of Ouranos the Progenitor (Uranus) to roughly a 2 minute sample.
Speaking of the CD, now it’s time to start going back through all the tracks, and determining if I feel they are finished, or what more I want to add/take away, etc on them. I also want to spend a great deal of quality time in these tracks before releasing this CD. I’m currently planning on focusing quality time on 1 track per week, which would put me to final post production on the songs in just over 2 months. Add an extra week for finalizing the cover artwork, and liner notes, then a couple of weeks while they are shipped to CD Baby. So in roughly 3 months, I’m estimating that the CD will be ready for purchase, as well as beginning it’s journey to the digital distribution sites like iTunes, Rhapsody and others.
Sometimes I can be very impatient, so I’m trying not to let my impatience get the best of me and rush this thing out the door, but I also want everyone to be able to get a taste of the final songs without just giving everything away for free all the time, so at this time, I’m debating releasing each song in it’s entirety for 1 weeks duration each.
For example, when I finalize Sol, I’ll release the full version via this blog for 1 week. Then, when I complete Mercury, I reduce Sole to a 2 minute sample, then release Mercury in full, etc, etc.
Only time will tell if I decide to do this, so keep checking back!
So, go listen to God of the Sea (Neptune) and I would be interested in your feedback!
