Aloha, a chairde

(translation: Howdy, friends)

Bhfuel.

(translation: What a journey it's been!!!)

1. THANK YOU for BE-ing here

2. WE released my debut single, "Odd Gild" one month and 4 days ago

SOME of ye were street team for "Odd Gild" ~

donating, being backers by private donations too,

other essential acts like

commenting on social media, pre-saving the single, sharing anything and everything from the debut single Camino, giving me veggies, lifts, and your time, energy, blood, sweat and tears!!

~ can you not get sick in the head by me saying THANK Y-O-U again ?

3. The next (#2) single is in the realm of possibility and pre-manifest destiny.

I have dates hard-won by the recording engineer for 17 & 18 February

EXACTLY 2 weeks from tonight

and yes, the plan is to return to Monique Recording Studios to continue with this camino. This pic was on the engineer's IG, captioned,

" ✨THANK YOU 2024✨

Thank you to all the awesome creators that trusted me with their time and energy.

It was an amazing year of forward motion, beautiful songs captured, minimalism, personal growth, travel, studio growth and repair.

Lots of interesting projects planned for the year ahead. [ . . . ]

In the meantime here is a picture of a busy room now sleeping for a well deserved few days."

( didn't I tell you I loved working with this engineer ?? )

so, back to the camino of the 2nd single from Peneleapaí 2025:

WILL YOU BE A PART of bringing this second single to LIFE for the world at large this time round ?

4. If numbers melt your brain (like it does mine! ... I'm going to TRY me best to portray an accurate estimate for the project however), then please avert thine eyes.

IF you are interested in this sorta ting, then ...............

Our estimated cost for the second single is

Day 1 studio time €400

Day 2 studio time €400

Mixing, Mastering €450

Instrumentalist 1 €250

Instrumentalist 2 €150

Instrumentalist 3 €200

Distribution on DK including Legacy feature (if I never have any funds ever again, the song will still exist on its distribution platforms) €50 .. I think

Official music video €800 (got a quote for €1100)

Transport to studio from home € ... TBC €62-75 (looking at bus and train options)

Accommodation while recording: €74.25 approximately

Food from evening 16th - morning 18th Feb. € ? 50 max estimate

Did I miss anything ?

Is anyone interested in hard copies of the sounds ... ?

IF we can swing it, a course on Sync licensing, which will help with future budgets , all going well!

It is just under €2K (exact tuition is $1997) before 1st March.

WHY ? ....

BECAUSE I hope to not need to embark on a new Camino each time

a new song is born! .... or at least, to have more of the overheads covered, and this is one route I spied, that could make a major difference.

Sync placement is when my audio (my music) is placed onto visual media releases (e.g., film, tv, ads, etc.). It has the potential to make a major difference to what capital is available to me with the music.
