Fortnightly Update #16
Welcome to the sixteenth music update of the year
So, there are two main developments that have occurred over the last two weeks.
1. The latest update to Anbennar was publicly released, bringing the new main theme to the ears of over 50,000 fans. That's awesome! From the feedback and stats so far it has been really well received. Certainly there are plans for more themes and other fun orchestral things in the future! Also, some of the comments that are coming through are absolutely wonderful! Thank you all for listening, enjoying and letting me know that you like it. It goes a huge way to motivate me to keep creating more music.
For fun & curiosity, Youtube views for Anbennar and Ante Bellum are shown below.
2. Acoustic August was announced and the event begins tomorrow! To put it really shortly: Acoustic August is a piece of improvised piano music played every day for the month of August. When I say improvised, I do mean that in most cases I made up the music as I was playing (not before). Almost think of it as a video recording of jamming sessions as I come up with new ideas for compositions. You get to see and hear where the magic starts, like a behind-the-scenes on future music pieces. Most of the music will be really modern, chill and relaxed, so if you've been wanting some Utopia-style piano music then consider your wish fulfilled!
You can tune into the daily videos on Youtube at 3pm UTC every day. Most likely I will mirror them on this blog, but it will be delayed.
Enjoy!
