Emptiness is Nowhere!

I have turned up the heat a bit around here... I have been recording a bit & feel I am getting back in the recording game. Last night I said out loud as I was eating dinner... "I am going to record a whole album in an hours time!" and I did just that...

Check it out if your interested, It is titled Emptiness is Nowhere...

It is a simplistic sort of album. I was thinking about John and Yoko's Wedding Album as well as their first album Two Virgins. I liked the idea of making an album of short tape recordings... I would have used a tape recorder but I got a similar result by just using a computer. I wanted to convey my recent thoughts and emotions as well open a little "window of me" without going to deep and to just keep things simple.

Tonight I also recorded a cover of Jingle Bells the Christmas song. I would like to record a few more Christmas songs, but I am not to interested in making a whole album... maybe I will just stick to recording one Christmas recording a year. Last year I released a Christmas Single called Curtain of Blue. It has 2 tracks... Curtain of Blue and Christmas Message 2015.

Good Night

Getting Dimmer & Dimmer.

I would like to give you more as an artist... but as it is I have always struggled with having a fan base via the internet... I know going out and playing live is a better path to gain "fans" but I find meeting people tiresome. It is possible... I think... but the manner I am going about it is just not working and I really don't know what to do. It just seems like it is best if my musical dreams lay on the back burner forever as a hobby.

I think it is best just to create content at my own pace. I think more interactive videos is the way to go... just not myself playing a cover... possibly a VLOG of some kind. As hopeful as creating something to hear or see is via the internet is... the likelihood of someone else experiencing it other then myself is almost zero. I would love to make more and create more and post more, but with out a reason to post something... I find the result of no interactions boring.

I know it only takes one thing to get a billion views, but I am at the point that... I have already made a lot of internet content and another thing in my pile of internet content seems to have no effect. I also know that internet is the way to go, but my direction is loosing its focus. I would like to have a purpose to post things that I love and have more then a handful of fans that are waiting for the next thing from Eshniner Forest.

I love the internet and the few fans as well as friends that I do have, but again... I want to share but without fuel I keep getting dimmer and dimmer.

If anyone wants to work on anything artistic or creative via the internet... lets do it!

Cheers:

Temples & Pyramids Cover Art Update.

Here is the revamped cover art for my last album temples and pyramids! It is very exciting looking and I like it a lot and I hope you like it too!!!

Social Media Buggin You?

I have this blog but other life activities happen & you forget about it for a while & then I'll remember I have a blog again & then I'll use again until I forget again. Its the life of a blog I guess. I mostly post on twitter because it is easy to say things quickly & have a few people actually read it but here ( this blog ) is an empty void waiting for random readers. I have noticed on facebook if I post something original like a comic or a song it gets far less views then if I post a little text update. It seems the simpler & less time is oriented in the post the more people see it. So if you put your heart into something artistic no one cares or has the time for, but if you say something brief in text it gets read because it only takes a few seconds to read.

I personally will click on a friends song or read a friends comic & spend maybe a little extra time checking out their art or music online. I will even leave a comment or a like if I like it. I guess that's where my interest is... I like looking for new artist & hearing new music. 
I remember when I first started using the internet back in the late 90s & over all the experience was a lot more social then it is now. I had pen pals all over the world & as junking & messy my art was at the time I got a lot more interactions. It was thrilling to meeting new people via the internet back then, but now people are more cautious to whom they meet on the internet. They might check out someone's art or music without ever telling the artist just because its easier to say nothing or maybe they think it would be bothersome to to the artist if they wrote them.

These are some social media odd times. I wish things were different but these days you have to be careful. Its sad & true. 

Cheers

Clouds! Day #2. 2nd Entry

More amazing clouds coming from the east. Looks like the next clear sky will be on wednesday in the morning. Thursday is estimated to be mostly sunny & friday is clear with slight chance of rain. I will be trying to get some moon shots on friday. Cross your fingers. Also these radar images are not detailed enough. They only show clouds in higher regions. A lot of the main cloud coverage is very low.

Clouds Day #2

A lot of cloud cover today. I saw the moon briefly around 6:20am but it was quickly covered by think cloud cover.

Clouds & Rain.

I am making a visual record of the weather particularly on the weekends.
