New Album 2009: Vlog #5

“The closet recordings”… that’s a nice name  for a new album, but I’m not sure I’ll chose it for my upcoming one, although I have moved into the closet to continue my recordings. I’m doing some more vocal takes at home and ordered a mic stand from musiciansfriend.com much cheaper than Guitar Center which I basically live on top of. Being alone in the closet gives me the comfort of having no one listening, being able to try out different stuff even if it might sound weird or wrong without a clock ticking away in a studio session. So I’ll probably do most of the vocals in here. Welcome to the tour!

Microsoft is giving away my music for free

Places to grab my music for free

I tought I would list a couple of places where I’ve put up some of my music for free. Since I use a lot of different social media sites I got lot of my music spread out both here and there. So I came up with this idea to compiled list of where you can download some of it for free.

Last.FM is a great place. I got all my albums up there. You can listen and download some of the songs.

Got Facebook?

I’m a fan of social media and are always looking for new way to spread my music and connect with new fans. Now I’m integrating my site with facebook and other social platforms.

I just added the ability to use your facebook account to comment and tell your friends about my music, upcoming albums, videos and other news you stumble upon while reading. In the coming weeks I will also implement functions to support more sites like Twitter, MySpace, Google, etc.

People that connect with my site and become fans will of course receive first hand exclusive deals and free songs before anyone else. Be sure to drop comments on my posts and tell all your friends.
