Six of the view from the crow's nest. And today's episode is going to be fairly short, I will try I promise I will try and make this short, and it's gonna be a bit different to the last five days episodes, because I'm going to talk about specific projects I'm working on, and specifically music. And so today, that's gonna be the focus. So, I have, as you may or may not know lots of different interests. I have a couple of two businesses that I run, and I've just finished my first screenplay and I love writing I do photography every year. I release a wall calendar of landscape photography. And I really want to make films, I love films and I want to make films, but the passion that probably most people know me for is music. But what you may have seen over the last couple of years is I've been quite quiet on the musical front. And that's not to say that I've lost my desire to do music. It's just to say I've been a bit distracted with other things my little boy, Leonardo is now three and a bit so those first couple of years. Once he starts moving about him. You know, they're, they're some of the most fun and some of the most taxing years I think anybody's had children know that between the ages of about one and three and a half. They're on the move. And so you. So now I'm kind of focusing back on music, and, particularly, if you've listened to the podcast the last bunch of days. I've been talking about structuring time and better organising myself to work to my strengths and help get help with my weaknesses and to effectively start getting projects done I'm thinking about everything in terms of projects now it's not an idea it's not, it's a project and if it's not a project, then it's not really to deal with. So my current project, my project digital is grip the sky experience and what is grip sky experience. So grip the sky is an EP. And that means it's comprises of five tracks and it's actually six tracks, but one of them's on there twice because it's an instrumental version, because it actually changes the track quite a lot to have an instrumental version. So it's six tracks, but rather than do what everybody kind of seems to do nowadays, which is Hey guys, I've got an EP and I've just released it on Spotify go listen. As an artist I don't think that does the artist any real favours unless they've got a very sizable fan base waiting for it. Or, you know, they've got backing that's going to amplify their message to a very large fan base, a you know they're signed to a record label who can propel that message a bit harder. And for the listener. I don't think it's, it's a decent way to listen to music it's the way that we've all kind of got used to listening to music you put on a track and then it rolls into the next track, and so on and so forth. But I figured, because I like doing things a bit differently and I like trying things. I think that there's a different and hopefully more fun way for both of us to do it. So I've been working on the grip of sky experience for for this past week and I've worked on it again next week and then hopefully it'll be finished. And it will be its own micro site its own website its own place. And I'm literally trying to think of anything and everything that I can that will make listening to that music and understanding the context of that music as interesting and fun and immersive as possible. So, an obvious thing is you know, adding lyrics, so that you can see the lyrics. Okay, great. That's the lyrics are on there, less obvious things are, you know, are be sharing the guitar tabs I actually wrote out the guitar tabs for some of these songs for the riffs, so obviously it's not gonna be for everybody but anybody plays guitar, or even other instruments as the chords on there as well. The project files the actual recording files the individual files for each part are all there for people to download. So again, more geared towards musicians, but you can remix that if you wish to, you can download the
