Sorry that I haven’t been updating in a few days! I’m surprised that I managed to do it daily for more than a month, but once I forgot one day, I just never got back to it.
Anyway, so it’s been super busy the last few days, like always! Trying to get the drum parts done this week (won’t happen), and I’ve been trying to finish my own parts this week (won’t happen either), and I’ve also had some people over because of the Getaway Rock Festival, which is in Gävle this week. At least, I got them to help me with taking some pictures that could be included in the album booklet! None turned out that great though..
So anyway, I’ll keep working hard to make sure everything is ready to be mixed by next week. It will be tight to get it in time for the release date, but it should be doable!
Oh, and about the pre-orders: I’ve had 35 pre-orders so far, which is great, considering how far it is until the release! I really appreciate it. :) I won’t have time to make drawings/surprises for too many people though, so only the first 60 customers will get one!
After that, you can still pre-order normal signed ones from me, but yeah, no special surprises.
Good thing I already pre ordered ny special surprise :D
Good luck on finishing the album. I know you’ll get it out there in time. Just keep at it and everything will work out great =)
Thanks! :)
How did you Create so many songs for your album how did you get ability for doing that and how long did it take?
Scorpion: Hmm.. Difficult questions to answer! How I created them? I just tried to come up with fresh and original ideas, and then put them together to make songs of them. :) It’s not much unlike making medleys really. You compose ideas, and then you find ways of putting them together.
Are you asking how long it took to “get that ability”, or to compose the songs on the album? I have been composing my own things since I started playing instruments, because that’s what always was the important thing for me; to create, not to be able to play already existing songs.
Some of the songs on the album were started on more than five years ago, and not finished until just now, and other songs were started on and finished in just a few hours.
How many have pre-ordered the CD so far?
Just to know if i have time to reach first 60 customers.
Pinja: 48! I’m getting around 3-4 new new ones per day, so, yeah. I’ll probably keep it up for the rest of the week.
Have you sold 60 already? I don’t see where to put the requests.
Kana: Nope, around 50. You put the request when confirming the order. :)
Anarella: Thanks! And you’re welcome. :)
Fredde, congratulations on your debut album! If I get my paychek by this week I’ll try to pre-order one!
I love your videos on YouTube, I’m always watching them again and again.
I hope everything will turn out perfectly for you!
Love, Ana (from Brazil)
ps.: I recently added you on Facebook, thanks for adding me back! =)
Are you at 60 yet? :O I didn’t notice that preorders were up!
Wally: I am! I’ve removed the drawing and secret surprise thing. So I’m only selling normal signed CDs now. (Unless you really really want something extra, so I’ve kept the “extra” option anyway.)
