Dear friends,
First of all let me wish you a very Happy New Year and all the best for 2011!
Before I start with my New Year's resolutions, I would like to tell you that my album is now also available for download on iTunes, on Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk. You might want to try other download-stores as well.
Also, the CD is now "listed" meaning you should now be able to order this in any CD shop in Europe. For instance, you could order it at Amazon. Please don't worry, if it says "Currently unavailable" - if you order there, Amazon will order from my distributor oomoxx media. But since I am not yet an established artist, Amazon does not store my CD - it is however available!
If you would like to buy a CD signed by me, just order from my Online Shop. Any CD sold through there will be signed.
If you would like to help me promote the CD a little, I would be awfully grateful. For instance you could
You might want to include these in your New Year's resolutions, lol!
As for my resolutions, they are as usual:
That's it for now - take care!
Dear friends!
Christmas is coming and with it the scent of fir trees; outside it's snowing, inside the atmosphere is getting cosy...what a great opportunity to introduce my new homepage as well as my first CD. In fact the album should have been released long ago, but as always, unexpected things came up...but all's well that ends well and now the CD is finally here - just in time for Christmas (just in case you're short of Christmas gifts, he he!) But here's the whole story:
Last year I finally made it to the studio and recorded my first album.
What an adventure! The work in the studio was exhausting but at the same time also interesting and enriching. It was fun choosing the songs from my repertoire
(let's hope I picked the right ones!), to polish up the arrangements, to find musicians who accompanied me in the studio, and last but not least
to decide on the final order of the songs.
I would especially like to thank Amin Jan Sayed who guided me through the recording process with his valuable advice.
Finally, thanks to his fine ears, he also added the finishing touch to the album sound.
Also I would like to thank the musicians who invested their time and effort to play on the album.
The booklet was yet another challenge. But here I was lucky to meet a friend who supported me with great enthusiasm. Thank you so much!
Thanks also to Céline who took the photos for the booklet-cover and to Albert who sent me the wonderful picture of the sunflower field!
However, there are also many people who have always supported me, especially Céline and Gwendo who, whenever they have the time, look carefully through my French lyrics and give me precious adivce on them.
But I would also like to thank my husband, my family and my friends who always encouraged me to never give up! Without you, this album would not exist!
The result is respectable, impressive even (if I may say so myself): The album is my personal treasure-box containing songs I wrote over the years and which I would now like to share with you. The songs are also my personal journey through time and different places. In fact the journey leads towards Fabulous Sceneries, hence the album title. If you would like to accompany me you will find sunflower fields, stardust, dreams, love waltzes, rain words, deserted beaches in autumn as well as gentle moments of love.
You can listen to song-samples on the Music-Site and if you like what you hear you can also buy the album on the Shop site! In theory it should be possible to order the CD in good record stores within Europe as well. Once the album is available for download I will let you know.
As for gigs, those will have to be postponed for a while since our baby girl was born in October!
Wishing you a wonderful Christmas time and a Happy New Year! May the sunflowers accompany you in this dark time of year!
