I believe 2017 deserves a standing innovation for being the quickest year so far, at least in my books. ;)
It wasn't until around Spring that I started to realize that I needed less grind, and more harmony within my life, since then, I have been simply being most of this year, a hiatus from the past norm. Enjoying more time with loved ones, catching up on my reading, which I am very happy about, developing my other passions within art, while allowing music to ride the back burner, however, on low-simmer and never forgotten. All in all, this year, I am doing my best to keep a steady flow in and out of every part of my life that brings me joy.
As I type, I feel that I have finally created a nice habitual mindset of simply being grateful with what is in my life in the present moment, appreciating what has become of me, and opened, allowing the potential transformation that a new day may bring towards my greater good, and for the greatest good of the planet. Listening more to my intuition, and less attention towards the mind, this newness has brought clarity towards who I am as an individual, which is not just music.
In all honesty, I am in no rush to create music, why should I be you know? The goal in my life is harmony, but this doesn't mean that I am not going to stay persistent in building my craft as a pianist/composer in the music realm, this is my greatest passion of all, and I can be behind my piano for hours, without rush...
Though my musical career as an artist has been in the background compared to my other activities and projects within my present life, I have been diligently creating my romantic album, while upgrading my personal studio, a project that has taken over the majority of this Summer. I definitely put myself to the test when creating a studio desk by scratch, wood, screws, and 4 coats of stain later I have a well-deserved desk. I believe simply knowing I was upgrading, I consciously didn't put much time into full recording, mostly jotting down ideas, and notating potential pieces here and there. I am loving life, and I hope everyone reading this is truly loving life also, or doing the best that you can to be better than yesterday. With no rush at all, please expect more creations.
As always, I greatly appreciate everyone who has continued to support me and especially the referrals!
Best wishes,
Edward
