New year. New projects.

I knew this was going to happen, it didn't even take me a month, but it has happened.
I have 3 new projects that I will start working on this year:

1- A goatFISH album.
Sahffi and I have decided to work on a new goatFISH EP, so far we have a full new song, and have started a 2nd one, we shall be documenting this process and sharing it with you all soon.

2- Enchanting Paramnesia 
Finishing up the Mosno EP that is being produced be Joe Scala, we took a little break from it due to Joe getting ready for his CD release on Jan/17th. Once that's over the break is done.

3- Autumn Desert & The Moon
For those who followed me last year, you all already know about the love poet I wrote called "Autumn, Desert, & The Moon". Now I'm thinking of joining forces with a good friend of mine to create an accompaniment book to go with the 3 part poem AND to compose music for each section AND even possibly do some kind of Spoken Word album with it. I'm still working out the final idea for that one.

Bonus Project.
I've also been thinking of creating a small acoustic  EP of collection of songs that I don't play out as often, such as "As I Moan" and "You Never Answer ", and even one of my newest song "Waltz of Leaves".

And those are just the ones I'm sharing with you, there are a few other projects that I can't quite speak about just yet. 2015 looks to be filled with creativity, and I'm going to try my best to improve on what I already have, especially sonically. 

Maybe this will be the year I finally incorporate Guitar Effect pedals into my act, I love those things, but they scare the desert out of me.
Wish me luck.

No Resolution for 2015

Happy New Year to you all, I hope you've had a safe and delightful transition into 2015, mine was awesome, I played a benefit concert to help raise money for The Vegan Living Program, the same program that helped me transition into my beautiful,  peaceful Vegan life style :)

One thing that happens every year is the whole Resolution thing, personally I'm not a fan of this, it has never worked, at least for me. You don't have to Change yourself every year, that is just exhausting,  and un-effective. I'd rather improve on what I already have, or even just make a minor adjustment, I found that to work much better.

A good way to do this is reflect on the accomplishments of the past year, and use that as a building block for this shiny new one. I'm proud of many things I've done in 2014, most notably is the release of my 3 year concept album "NOVELLA : a love letter to culture clash", getting it reviewed in Canada, Qatar, Baltimore, and even a Sudan/San Francisco blog. 

Also having a song in the award-winning indie film "Faisal Goes West" which opened up the very FIRST Independent film festival in Sudan's film history, and on a personal level becoming Vegan and doing the FAWM song-writing challenge for the first time.

So why would I willing want to "resolute" anything for the new year, instead I'm going to build on these great accomplishments I've already made. I will be more involved in the Vegan community,  and will do my best to use my love for technology and songwriting to bring forth more music to all my beloved supporters.

This is of course just my humble opinion and approach to the new year, if resolutions work for you, then by all means go for it. But if you've noticed a pattern of them not being so effective in the past, then I would recommend to not resolute, and simply enjoy the new year. Feel free to try something entirely different and let me know if that worked for you.
Look out 2015, here we come :)
