- Post subject: Harkan: First Year
|
A year ago, I decided that instead of being bored at home during the school holidays, I should do something. That something was logging onto my wife's old laptop, opening Sony Acid and listening back to a track I made in 2011.
After making a few more, I created my first EP, Dialect. Since then, as many of you know, I have continued to create noise. Loops, found sound, 1950s radio recording and my own attempts at music creation have formed my output.
I have almost completed my 12 EPs in 12 months challenge, with only December to go. So expect something soon.
I know many might skip over this thread, some may not. I wanted to thank those that have helped to spur me on during the year. It has filled me with enough confidence to continue. I still am apprehensive to mention that I mess around with sounds on a computer to close family and friends (for fear of something... don't know) but I am glad that a community like BEA can encourage artists to pursue their goals.
2014 might have less output as I want to take a step back from challenges. Quality over quantity as someone once said.
Keep an eye on the bandcamp page and the post-punkambient bandcamp page as well. Plenty of plans for more compilations too!
Thanks BEA!

Most artists dream for a year like Harkan's. You made Lil B look like MBV.

Nice, have enjoyed a fair proportion of what I've heard, but must admit that I haven't kept up with all of it. Looking forward to seeing how your sound progresses. Keep up the good work.

Thanks guys.
Sound progression ideas:
- Actually play an instrument more than experiment with it
- Use more vocals (my own or others)
- Try to master tracks louder
- Help others to release music
- Remixing other people's tracks

Well these all sound like fantastic ideas. If you need a guinea pig for remixing, let me know.

Also, self promotion.
Rate Your Music profile
It needs more ratings than just mine. And genre tagging as well.

All done this morning. Free time does wonders.
