I have finally managed to get my (properly styled) YouTube channel online and have started uploading the first videos :D
I already have a few musical drafts online that I want to eventually develop into full songs. Since I have only recently gotten my hands on a shiny new Nikon D7000 (which can also take awesome full HD movies), the current videos are sporting a simple image and text only.
The plan is to keep uploading smaller fragments regularly while working on full length songs. For the full length songs I want to create actual music videos as well – how long this process will take I am not sure yet, we shall see.
I am currently working on a song called ‘Rise Up’ which will be my first attempt at a full music + video project :)
There are lots of other ideas floating through my head now on what I want to put onto YouTube :)
I have already picked one of those ideas and want to properly film, cut and polish it – and of course I will be making the music for it too! Hopefully I will get to film all the material I need this coming weekend!
Besides getting more into video recording (and special effects – thank you After Effects!), I have mainly been working on a proper recording plan.
I have been pretty badly stuck with my music lately, ending up with hundreds of fragments and no complete songs. Trying to bust through that block, I have laid out a strict plan to follow for the next few months.
My plan schedules the release of 5 currently unfinished songs, properly composed, recorded, mixed and mastered by October. I might end up making a small video diary for the process – hopefully recording some useful information on how to get out of a rut along the way :)
For now, here are a few of the song drafts I have already online.

Any feedback or suggestions are always welcome :)
