My crazy 2024 music-making year in review

#blogpost #music #musique #collaboration

I’ve been writing music and songs for several decades now, and every single time I finish a piece, I wonder if it was the last, if the well has run dry.

Well it sure didn’t happen this year. I can’t believe I put out so much stuff! Let’s see...

New songs

I wrote, recorded and published the following new songs:

I also contributed two songs to the Not What I Call Bonk Wave Volume 003 triple album:

Livestream

I did my first livestream ever as part of the #RadioFreeFedi #fediwave series, and played these 11 songs unplugged (sorry, no recording, you had to be there), including some that were never meant to be playable live on a guitar. And it got great reviews, too!

Collaborations

And last but not least, I contributed:

I wonder if I missed anything (and if I have any music left in me? 😅)

Time will tell, and while this frenzy probably betrays an urge to escape the worlds’ downward Spiral, it was also inspired and fueled in large part by the incredible talent, creativity and energy of my fellow musical fedizens, most of whom I discovered through Radio Free Fedi and the tireless community-building of the Hamster behind the wheel.

Thank you thank you thank you ❤️.
