AAANND we’re back. First, the photo. This shot is located at a rest stop about 70 miles east of Seattle on I90. It is the northern Cascade Mountains. Just about any place in or around the northern Cascades is picturesque. I believe the time frame for this shot is April 2023.
Now.. the album. The album, NO LIMITS:2020-Likuid Eklektik is complete with the exception of one minor adjustment. And I do mean minor. The space in between songs can be as long or as short as you choose. Usually there’s only two or three seconds as a general rule. The space I need to adjust is currently about eight or nine seconds after the fourth song going into the fifth song. It’s long enough to make you think the album is finished. So.. like I said, it’s minor and will be taken care of as soon as I finish this message.
So.. you say.. “That means that the album is finished and ready for release then”. That is correct. It was in one of my earlier notes that I mentioned that I would not release new material on the streaming networks but.. I’ve had second thoughts on that. Maybe some of you have seen a statement floating around the ether-world by the one and only Snoop Dog when he mentioned he only made $40-something thousand dollars on spotify for hundreds of thousands of spins. Well that tells you right there that for an artist like me… there’s definitely no money in the streaming networks. There are a lot of subscribers for the networks and some of them such as pandora and youtube, to name a couple, are free.. along with commercials. For me there’s more people to share the music with and a larger internet presence.. Not to mention that the subscription I have to master my music.. distribution on all the major streaming networks is included. So.. there’s that.
Now you’re probably asking, when will this new Likuid Eklektik album be released? That’s a very good question too.. it will be released on this page (https://likuideklektik.bandcamp.com/track/what-have-we-done-now-2) on February 14, 2024.. and shortly after that on spotify, apple music, pandora, tidal, deezer as well as a few others that I can’t recall right now. I will get the word out for the streaming network release as soon as I have it. Somewhere in the neighborhood of February 14 is the target time though. All the music is scanned by the company for plagiarism prior to release and sometimes that takes more time than you expect. Keep in mind, it’s not just me getting music mastered and released. Now for those interested in making good use of their spotify streaming subscription, here’s where you can find Likuid Eklektik’s first album on spotify… (https://open.spotify.com/album/3iblRkC6LgyCYn391oQJ2E). This Remix of Never2Late will be Remixed in the not too distant future also.. I’ll let you know about this as well.
Well..onward and forward with the last minor adjustment and a final master and the rest is paper work. You know..copy rights, UPC code assignments, meta data, ISRC numbers and then cataloging this information. Humph!! Take good care all.. drop by on the 14th and support your favorite band on BandCamp by buying their work. Thank you.
