Gunna attempt to write a new album this year.
I need to take a semester off of school, so I’m going to try and produce an album this year as well. o_O
I have a short filmscore and a single out now, but they should have some friends by the end of summer.
Should be fun! :D
I am going to learn Zebra2, when I can afford it.
I tell myself every year that I am going to start using Ableton, but have yet to do so. I hope Logic X is released and is worthwhile enough to provide another excuse to put Live off for a few more months :)
My goal is to be living 100% off audio work by the end of the year. Ambitious, but I think I’m ready to take the leap.
I will upload a song to Youtube monthly this year
I want to self release a record and dedicate it to mi girl. also play every instrument on it.
intent on completing a 5-track cover EP by the end of the year, learning and applying much more theory, and refining my overall process with Reason, Stutter Edit, and a (yet another goal) self-built monome :D
One of my musical goals is to knuckle down and finally get round to a proper release of my music, been slacking a lot the past year!
My first goal is to get our second album in shape for at least a demo preview.
Second goal to finish writting lyrics for “Call of Cthulu” cover and maybe shove it into some split or EP.
Third goal to finally learn some new instrument…
I want to raise my production quality and create some unique sounds.
1 ) Learn to read music properly
2) Learn my fav. classical pieces by Mozart , Bach , etc.
3) Polish my songs and group them to make a debut album
4) Learn to technically sing better
5) Learn a lot more about music in general ( engineering , recording , mixing , mastering , vocal performance , arrangements ,etc)
6 ) Learn to play guitar better than i do currently ( classical guitar , rock , pop , etc.)
7 ) Take a lot of my rough demos and converting them into masterpieces
One of my goals I’ve set for myself this year is to get at least one of my productions into a major motion picture. If I get paid all the better, but as this is new ground for me I usually start off new territory pro bono.
