And Now, How To Make An Album, by Keith Handy

keith handy music notebookKeith Handy, good new/old net friend of mine, has begun writing something which I think should appeal to all you aspiring home-recording artists like me.

Himself, a maker of albums and musical scores, and generally well-versed in musical things, I believe he has much experience and insight to pass on, and has set about doing so in his new ongoing series,

“So, You Want To Make An Album.”

Best to let him introduce it in his own words…

“In this multi-installment posting, at least partly inspired by a new/old net friend who is embarking on an exciting and treacherous creative journey, I aim to recollect my personal experiences with the combined thrill and agony of recording original music, and hopefully pass on a few useful words of wisdom along the way.“

So far, intrigued, and anxiously awaiting installment three (as of this writing). Knowing Keith, it should all prove to be quite as entertaining and insightful as it is educational. Bookmark it. Read it. Ponder it. Follow along. Learn. And most importantly, if making an album is what you really want to do, get to it. It’s okay to be scared. I am, and let me tell you, I’ve played some tough, badass characters in my lifetimes. Sword fights are one thing… bearing your soul in song is quite another.

But we do it anyway, because we are brave souls.

And with that, dear ones, inspiring dreams and a fond good night.
