Augus and I both released our first albums around the same time. He released his in France and I released in the US. We then went on to have families and I have noticed many parallels to our lives. We communicate via social media, now Facebook and I get to see photos of his lovely family and once and a while some new art/music he has made.
This video is one that he sent to me today. Here is the decryption translated:
- The making off of the registration of the new disc Augus singer. That was in August 2013 in the small studio Route Tan Productions.
I have always liked Augus' music and want to share it with some of my fellow Hubski music lovers. Specifically ghostoffuffle and ButterflyEffect -What do you think?
Wish I spoke french :-)
Hey thenewgreen, this was a wonderful song and video. Makes me ready for summer. That chorus is really catchy. I didn't catch all of the lyrics but with enough listens I probably could. Where in France is he?
Great stuff. Also, the video makes me so nostalgic for so many different things on so many different levels. Lovely. So nice to build bonds with others across the pond, kind of grow up parallel to them. How'd you guys meet up? Just random myspace connect?
You know what, I don't even remember how our paths crossed, but I'm almost 100% sure that it was via MySpace. I think I liked one of his songs and let him know and in turn he listened to my music… Etc. We started sharing music and he sent me a physical copy of his album when it was officially released with a very nice letter. When mine was released shortly after, I followed suit. We have never met in person, but someday we will. The video makes me nostalgic too, though none of my rehearsal spaces or recording spaces were quite that beautiful. Not all of us can record our albums in cabins in the Carolinas :-)
Hah, no, some of us have to settle for recording our albums in our beautiful houses in the Carolinas! I would settle for just recording, at this point. Or the Carolinas. Either one on its own is pretty great.
Trust me, I'm not complaining. The one downside is that my studio is in my home. This means that I basically get zero time to utilize it. I recorded something yesterday though, I had one hour free. It's amazing how much I accomplished in just one hour. I conceived of, and recorded almost an entire song. Necessity, it truly is the mother of invention.
Dude, you write songs like some people make a grocery list. You make, like five a day and have two of them recorded by COB. And they're good, too, which is even crazier. As somebody who averages one song per 2-6 months, I find myself extremely jealous. You're killing me.
I just emailed it to you. You'll feel less crazy once you hear it. No lyrics yet but I hear a melody.
On a side note, I'm psyched to be in Wilmington tonight to see cW play his first set in like 10 years!!
What's cW's band? Or is that privileged info? Either way, hope it's a blast for all involved.
cW is a singer/songwriter and tonight he is playing an acoustic solo set. I'm excited and privileged to be able to see it.
I fully intend on listening to to this tomorrow when I'm not at work and have time. Pretty much going straight to Cambridge for Kishi Bashi once today is over with, and I forgot earbuds today.
Bummer about the headphones. Enjoy the show, safe travels and let me know what you think.
I'll have a full writeup of the show tomorrow, along with whatever I end up thinking of your friends music...for now though, let me ask you a question Kishi Bashi asked the audience: if a band arrives at an airport and no one is there to greet them, did the band arrive?
