The culmination of a project is, for me, quite a transition. Once I have finished an album, my task switches to everything involving its release. This includes marketing, PR, promotional videos, etc. A project entails several years worth of commitment - to the album itself, to the people I work with and, ultimately to myself. While I began this last project with trepidation, I also knew what awaited me. Yet again the muse stepped in, not only telling me that I was ready and the timing was right, but also pointing me in the right direction.
Through the process I was often reminded of something I have shared with you before, living in the 'now.' Recently, as I was listening to French singer Mylène Farmer's song Pas Le Temps de Vivre (which loosely translates as 'No time to live'), this thought resonated deeply with me as she spoke of not having enough time to truly experience life. The music business can be very crazy and one can easily forget to just 'be' and experience one's connection to everything that surrounds us. I am reminded of the fleeting nature of life through the losses around me and my very own mortality. Yet, music continues to speak to me of an eternity within, adding to the many forces that fuel my work.
Northern Seas constituted a tremendous amount of focus and work. As with my past albums, it also became a journey of self exploration. The end result is an album that I am very proud of and am looking forward to sharing with you.
