My plan for the rest of the year.
- work on the Full Version of vision 2020: trumpet has been recorded already with percussion + accordion still to be done
- add more of the old SSRI catalog to Bandcamp – where possible in high def., including Up Close in 24/96kHz
- work on four new compositions which will either become part of an album called Bare Wood 2 or will be the start of a entirely new album… restrict instrumentation to Flamenco guitar, upright bass and cajon/djembe
- plan one more Twitch performance or perhaps two performances as before – one in evening + one in late morning
- add Jon Gagan’s version/remix of Dance 4 Me to Bandcamp… it’s beautiful + creative + different + rich + orchestral!
- write a post about the different music file formats and their advantages
- stay home :-)
Excellent, Ottmar. You inspire me!
I’m already looking forward to your new compositions. When I think of all you have created, all the glorious music, all the joy…I feel I might swoon!
The Plan! Sounds like another song title to me! ;-)
I was just thinking the other day how much richer Bare Wood would sound in high def as well as Waiting in Swan or POP-Petals on the Path!
Note to self–get some wine and cheese!
Glad you have a plan that involves new music :). Good music keeps us happy during these times. I plan to write, paint, cook and read since I can’t spend the winter in Mexico like I usually do.
That’s very nice, I really enjoyed your live performances, looking forward to the next ones. Thank you
Excellent list! It is fantastic that you write out your goals… it keeps you motivated to complete them.
Vision 2020 is amazing. Yes, I would really enjoy seeing another performance on Twitch. I would love if you could do some holiday music.
I, along with my husband and two cats, will be staying home until 2021. We bought enough food for 6 weeks; all of our groceries were put into our trunk in a contactless manner last Friday. If we run out of anything we can survive on whatever Vitacost or Amazon can deliver.
We will continue to do restorative yoga daily (live via Zoom from the yoga studio were we are members) and we’ve pushed ourselves to learn new things (hey – I’m learning to model in Maya 3D!) all while working remotely from home.
