heartvoice

Attempting hard to save every penny (without being too much of a scrooge) has been an important part of this entire process and interestingly enough it has forced me to be more innovative in terms of how i do things (more efficiently).

The only downside of this is that I look rather scruffy.

I have been brainstorming on a music project, will update more on this later. My plan is to document the music of Africa which is very different in each country with its own unique story. I will gain inspiration from all the exotic instruments and music traditions.

I think this is a way to reassure myself and sort of fulfil my dream of always being connected to music somehow. I did consider at one point - to quit everything and study music, to become an opera singer to be exact, learn music composition, but I don't quite know what it was that stopped me. I was once asked this by a dear friend of mine and I realised.....perhaps, I did not want to milk it for money or make a career out of it, I'd lose interest if there was that element of pressure.

I just want to enjoy it, do it as a hobby and suffer less criticisms when people don't take to it.


till then
love,
