anticipation…(0)
As I sit here typing this, I’m on the threshold of great things.
At the same time, it’s one of the most frightening experiences of my life. People *say* they want to be Masters of their own Destiny, but not everybody is prepared to deal with the consequences. Let me elaborate.
On Saturday, 2.14.2009 the new Windimoto album “Sinister Beauty” will be released to the world. All my life, I’ve wanted to be involved in the making of music in some shape or form. As an artist, producer, remixer, DJ, or whatever. Sure, I’ve had releases before, and played to relatively large crowds. But this time it’s different…
It’s *mine*… From top to bottom.
Meaning, Scorpeze and I went out, put our noses to the grindstone and built our own record label. Blood, Sweat, Tears and all the other stuff that goes along with it; late nights, financial issues, low energy, logistical problems, legal hurdles, and a few other obstacles. In the past, it was easy to just sign on the dotted line and let OTHER people handle that part of it, but that’s not what we wanted this time.
As I sit and ponder it, Windimoto Music is OUR creation. One to be proud of. We don’t have to answer to anybody, or play ourselves to get this record out. We did things the way WE wanted them done.
BUT;
Nobody has our back this time. Win or lose, we’re in charge. We’ll have to take the credit AND the blame.
Now I’d like to think we’ve done OUR part in making the music worth checking out ( and we’ve gotten some pretty good feedback thus far), so the rest is out of our hands.( This isn’t a plea for you to run out and buy it. That’s another entry for another day). I guess what I’m getting at is this is one of the most important steps I’ve ever taken in my life, and while I’m living a dream, I haven’t really stopped to enjoy it.
Long story short, I’m looking forward to it, but I’m too involved to appreciate it. We’ll see how it ends…
paz.
