Well, it’s been a minute…
Summer was nice and busy, we’ve done quite a lot of back-of-house prep, wrote a bunch of songs and filled the deck with an ungodly amount of half-baked ones, plus quite a few new people (and some old friends) joined the circus.
Fall (and up to now) was spent digging in a couple cans of worms we’d been kicking down the road for too long, namely :
- getting ready to produce decent video content without it messing with the flow of writing/recording sessions,
- figuring what we wanted to do — if anything — with social media, such as IG (hate it, but yes), TikTok (thanks, but no thanks for the time being), and Twitter (W&S on that one),
- and for the piece de resistance, solve the bzns/legal puzzles of operating as a collective of free agents whilst
- A) ensuring everybody gets a fair shake if we ever stop bleeding money (OK, drizzling, but still), and
- B) maintaining control and ownership of our content, and the freedom to release some under “free” CC license if we so desire,
- C) avoiding getting drawn and quartered by the state and Music Industry lobbies, thanks to local regulations which are both sorta well-meaning, and also utterly obsolete and calcified, as many things are in Frogland.
…you can expect a wall of text of a postmortem on that sometime Soon™.
Despite it not showing much yet, from the outside, we’ve ticked quite a few of those checkboxes, and are generally happy with where we’re at.
We hope to start releasing new material this coming January, provided our contractual ducks finally line up properly. #FingersCrossed
Until then, enjoy the winter holidays, and see you after the break !
theSC.
