The last three years have been one of creative exploration for me when it comes to music. I allowed myself to write according to my inspiration, and just follow my muse, ignoring commercial viability in the quest to discover my own musical voice.
This year I participated in the "February Album Writing Month" challenge, where you write 14 songs in 28 days. My goal was to write a mystical, magical, fantasy-based electronic folk album with dreamy, ethereal vocals and great harmonies. Sort of Enya crossed with Loreena McKennitt all mixed up with me :) I wrote & produced worktapes of 15 pieces of music in February. And I'm continuing with the 50-songs-in-90-days challenge.
What's next? ...work on growing a catalogue of music for film/tv projects and... maybe make the Fawm-inspired album :)
