Authenticity is Awesome

In case you had not gotten my newsletter, I wanted to let you know, that I love Autumn :). Most people are creative in Spring, they see the season as a symbol of starting over & what not. For me, its Autumn. I haven't tried to question it, or find out why, all I know is its my favorite season of the year, and I always end up doing/making something, & it has started.

This past weekend Shaffi & I went to Ocean City for our goatFISH interview on Live Lixx at Sixx, we had a good time, got to meet up with some friends and had dinner, but we also had a mission.

Recording the ocean for "Lucid"

In my upcoming album "Novella", I have a song called "Lucid", which is played on a harp, & since the song is about the "Ocean Girl" character, I want to add some ocean sounds in the background. SO, Sahffi planted the idea of me recording the sounds of the ocean when we go to Ocean City..I was on the fence, but then I was speaking with my graphic designer of the album, and she told me that there are people who can tell by the sound of the waves, roughly, where that ocean/sea is located. Add to that, the song is being sung by Sahffi, who was raised near that ocean, it became a no brainier.

It was entertaining to say the least, we parked the car, I hooked up a microphone to my ZoomR24, & we walked down to the ocean, using my phone's LED as a flash light, and we recorded about 7 minutes of Ocean waves crashing into the shore! it was EPIC!
Many thanks to Sahffi for rolling up her jeans and going into the cold water for art!

If you want to hear the harp song we recorded the ocean sounds for, make sure to tune into my YouTube Channel (MosnoMusic) Tuesday Oct/9 for "The Making of Novella : Lucid" vLog.
The things we do for art! :)

Today I got an email from my good friend Derek Swanson, who apparently took my "No Kingdom (Faisal Goes West)" song, and did this super cool remix of it called "Sudanese Velvet"..LOVE it!
Check it out:


I hope you had a fun weekend, have a great week.
Much Love.
