I am well again, and firmly back to work. The next two albums coming out are the Balkan Rock Opera and a cyberpunk fairy tale.<\/p>\n<p>We are focusing all our attention at the moment on the Balkan Rock Opera, mainly because it has the most moving parts, requires the most extra people, and once i finish the composing rewrites, i can work on the fairy tale while a find the necessary singers and perhaps an accordionist and a violinist. The singers are the most important thing that need to be found.<\/p>\n<p>I have already met with guitarist Ivan Vukadinovic, the guitarist on the Carnival. He&#8217;s on board and i&#8217;ve already sent him some tracks. I&#8217;m not sure how i&#8217;\\m going to find the singers, but rest assured, i will. (Note, singers must be from the Balkans. Due to obvious convenience, i&#8217;m assuming they will be Serbian. However that&#8217;s not a deal breaker, it&#8217;s just the most likely. The singers HAVE to be from the Balkans, though. Local, if you will. That part&#8217;s non negotiable.)<\/p>\n<p>Once i&#8217;ve finished my rewrites of what will be titled Janissary, i will turn to the cyberpunk fairy tale.<\/p>\n<p>The Forgotten Meme, A Cyberpunk Fairy Tale featuring Kerttu Aarnipuu is already written storywise, but not a single note of music has been composed. When i start i want to be be able to go for a good bit in full on concentration. I&#8217;m happy to be working on both of these projects sort of simultaneously, but really, i&#8217;m working on them one at a time. Several weeks of dedicated focus on one before turning back to the other. It will be beautiful and sad and dreamy.<\/p>\n<p>I should probably post at some point that i actually finished the great Dolls Sheet Music campaign, which frankly, nearly killed me. But the full score for Dolls has been made and i will be putting it somewhere appropriate for the parties who will ask for and need it in the future.<\/p>\n<p>Janissary is my main focus now, and it is truly epic. The emotions near the end get really deep and complicated and i&#8217;m really proud of this one. Anyone know any really great Serbian\/Croatian singers?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Update time. I am well again, and firmly back to work.
