Last week, I officially finished my first year of college! The first couple days of my break were spent reading "Looking for Alaska," (which I am still not sure how I feel about, but the more I think about it, the more I love it), writing songs (I actually have a pretty decent one that I may post a video of in the next few weeks), and watching an awesome movie called "Begin Again," (I found this movie super inspiring! It made me want to move to New York and write/record this album on the streets!)
It has been a busy school year, and needless to say, I am very relieved that it is over. This year, I have fallen in love with the art of audio engineering. If you had told me two years ago that that is what I would be studying in college, I'm not sure I would have believed you. I came into this program knowing absolutely nothing about any aspect of it, and I am really thankful to say that I have learned a lot. In fact, for my next album, I plan on mixing/mastering it myself. I have to tell you that the idea of taking on that responsibility with this album is absolutely terrifying, but I am so excited for the challenge!
This Summer, while I am spending all but a couple of weeks of it in Pennsylvania, I will be planning some things for my album, and some exciting things for when I get home. I am seriously considering doing a two month trail run of weekly Concert Window sessions for you all when I get back to Oklahoma. This will be a cool way for you to hear more about what I am planning for this next album, which songs I am thinking of including, and perhaps even letting you guys help me make the final cuts! I will give you more details about all of this as it gets closer. If you have any suggestions on what you would like to hear in these shows, let me know!
Of course, I will be continuing to write each week for this blog, and will keep posting videos and sharing my music with you while I'm gone. I will be doing some Concert Window shows from Pennsylvania too! So, stay tuned for those! I think this Summer is going to hold some really awesome things! I am really excited to experience them all with you!
I hope you all have a wonderful Summer break!
Next Wednesday, come back for a video of one of my newer songs titled "Too Sentimental."
