I’ve just heard Seth Godin saying (in my headphones, that’s from The Icarus Deception) the following:

The only way to get good at solving problems is to solve them. Not in private, not in a safe place where you can waffle about the results. In public.

Thus, I think it is a good moment for a new 30-day challenge…

I was reorganizing my music storage today, and while transferring my various drafts from the iPad to the Mac, I discovered a few pearls…

Here is one codenamed “Punky” – it started with recording a rhythm riff using the “Punk Rock” guitar amp in the Garage Band app on the iOS, and then improvising along the riff. I have no idea when it was originally recorded and why it slipped out of my attention :)

Tonight I have transcribed the good parts, move some bars around and filled in a couple of gaps. The demo of this draft sounds promising – take a listen!

30 days. Countless hours of setting up, improvising, downloading videos from the camera, processing, recompressing and uploading to Vimeo. As well as listening over and over again, becoming aware of the small things which are good and other things to work on… Read everything I can share about it, and see my personal picks from the series!

I would like to share with you some inspiration that I had this morning. Improvisation, unedited.

This sample was recorded for a friend in March 2013 :)

This small acoustic song I recorded for my dad in July 2012 when he asked me, what kind of music I play.

This is a demo of a song which I performed at the Krupp Music Night on December 8, 2011. This was the first song I composed as something complete, something whole. I planned to add also a synthesizer part, but these plans have not been fulfilled up until now.
