Second chances...

On the 31st October I finally finished my second album of solo music.  I wrote, recorded and produced the whole project myself, and it took 2 years of (very) hard work and not a little frustration and struggle but also elation and fulfilment.

This album feels more like more of a risk than 'Human', my first CD, partly because I set myself the challenge of including more songs - which means lyrics and singing: both of which feel more personal somehow than instrumental pieces. The lyrics and music chart my journey through the last few years of my life, and the project is called 'Second chances'.

'Second chances '  is freely available to download or to stream online at my music website, here.

KTPR002...

I'm nearly at the end of my period of almost-full-time working, and I'm really looking forward to having more time again for all sorts of makery and crafting.

One thing I have been managing to carry on with during it all has been my current music project (KTPR002).  

The teaser webpage is now live!

Human

In August I finally finished my first solo music project - called 'Human'.

I have made all of the tracks freely available to download on my website, here.

Music is the other way I love to spend my 'free' time, and although it's wonderfully rewarding and fulfilling, it is fantastically hard work: mentally, physically and emotionally.  'Human' took me three years to make; I learned so much about the process during that time, but still have so much to learn too.

Two months on, I'm beginning to have glimmers of new ideas... .

Music...

This blog is normally reserved for my crafty pursuits, but I just wanted to make a wee post about the other major project I have been working on for about the last 3 years!

It is finally nearing completion, so I recently updated the website.
