Behind the scenes chit-chat. Making a recording. 6 resources.

By on June 1, 2019 in Career, Flute Jobs, Tango, Teaching, Your Younger Self

 

A few weeks ago I blogged about my latest album release of Astor Piazzolla’s 6 Tango-etudes for Solo Flute, here.

But don’t be fooled by the perfect packaging—-> I want to tell you a little behind-the-scenes story of this recording. Including the big flute competition I didn’t win, how these tracks got me out of burnout city and the magical UK recording venue overlooking St. Michael’s Mount.

Think of this as the chit-chat we’d share if we were together in my Cornwall studio saying hello over a cuppa, no– wait… a mojito...

And to anyone out there who’s currently holding onto a dream to record their own album: you can SO do it, and I am right here with you. I don’t want to push my advice on you, however if you’re looking for inspiration to make your recording goals happen, I can recommend some fantastic resources like The Unmistakeable Creative, The War of Art, The Artist’s Way, Show your Work and Big Magic— they’ll for sure put you onto a more enlightened and practical path to get you into the recording studio.

Heyyyyyy, look.  I know it’s tenderly vulnerably flippin’ scary to put your own music on display. Please do it anyway. You never know who might need your tunes today. After all, don’t think it’s only a cliche. This is what’s possible. THIS is what could happen.
