It has now been more than a year that I've been working almost exclusively on my first original album. An album that would be centered around the Erhu, but also written from a western musical sensiblity.
For months I tried to come up with ideas that would place the Erhu as a leading voice, and not just an ethnical musical tool as it is often the case in western music that use the instrument.
At some point I seriously started to doubt if it was even possible, and with the stress of not producing stuff for my channel and being less active, it was a pretty challenging time.
...
Then, a first song was completed. A bit unique, a bit complex to produce, but a first at last.
Then another one, this time more simple, more natural.
Then another one, now starting to see some patterns, some new "formulas" for the Erhu to shine.
And It has been a year and I am now slowly approaching completion for the album...
Most importantly, I feel I reached a new stage in my musical journey. Publishing original music has always been my #1 goal and soon it will finally happen with this first album.
It's going to take a bit more work, but I am hoping for an announcement later this year !
