Swedish Brilliance http://swedishbrilliance.com Sun, 29 Jan 2012 11:05:44 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 January 2012 Update from Swedish Brilliance http://swedishbrilliance.com/january2012update/ http://swedishbrilliance.com/january2012update/#comments Sun, 29 Jan 2012 11:05:44 +0000 admin http://swedishbrilliance.com/?p=425 ]]> January is almost over and it’s been hectic to say the least.
The month started with making the plans for the year and starting to set the plan in motion. I got sick but got better for the live show and that went well and there’s another post about the show on the blog.

I reconnected with my friend Rich and we worked on a few tracks, songs that have been laying around not getting much love and at least one will be on the upcoming CD.

The next Quatrain is almost done and the track list will be 1: Inside Out Loud, 2: Innocence, 3: I Know You, and 4: Sideshow. I am excited about the songs and I think you guys will love them. I am using artwork in the form of a photo from the extraordinary photographer and personal friend Brandon Boyt that I hope signifies an ongoing collaboration.

I also want to release a CD with about 6 songs from the Quatrain series and 6 unreleased songs before March so be on the look out for the debut CD which is yet to be titled.

There is also most likely going to be a meeting with a music publishing company in February for a possible representation of the music which is really exciting.

Keep checking in and I hope we will have a great year together.
