Album Update

Hey Everyone!

I am just writing this to show you all where my head is at for this record.

Things are going quite well, a lot of songs are very far along, and this pleases me greatly. Some of the songs need more work, but I feel as though the production aspects are coming along nicely for an overwhelming majority of the songs I have written.

In fact, I've been fairly prolific with my producing and arranging. I have 9 songs that are in excellent position to be strong tracks. Some of the songs are fairly new, while others are ancient and have taken a completely different direction than they were originally written in. I am loving the whole process, actually. I am learning to have patience and to not fret when things do not immediately fall into place. I do have at least 3 months to complete the entire album, after all. I am hoping to release it on my birthday (Oct 13th) when I will turn 25. I feel as though it is going to be a significant year for me, so it seems fitting.

That said, this is my first time really trying to produce and arrange my own material. I have primarily stuck to playing acoustic shows and my first EP lacked real production, as we recorded every track in one take and I merely added the vocals later because I had no microphone for singing. I am trying to figure out how to make this album available for like 2-3 dollars on itunes and everywhere else, just so people can get  a feel for how far I've come.

The fact that I am attempting this signifies a jump in both my seriousness about my craft and confidence in my abilities. I am excited for the future!

I lost my train of thought, but I may pop up again to talk about specific songs.

Love and Peace,
ZK
