Stick a fork in me – I’m done!

Well at least with getting the demo recordings out there – lol.

Now the fun begins – getting all 10 new and original songs studio recorded so I can release them. I’m so excited to have reached this milestone, and I anxiously look forward to the days ahead getting everything polished up and pretty for the public.

Here’s the last song demo for the album AN ETCHING IN TIME – it’s called Vintage Minds and it’s actually number 9 on the album. I hope you like it – it makes me feel nostalgic or sentimental in a happy sort of way . . .

VINTAGE MINDS (DEMO) written and performed by Rodney Keith Richardson

And so the countdown begins . . .

So I just uploaded song #9 (DEMO VERSION) of Peace Bridge, the latest addition to my album AN ETCHING IN TIME. I’m finishing up orchestration of number 10 VINTAGE MINDS and I hope to have a demo version of it uploaded this week. That will complete all of the songs included on the album.

It’s been quite a journey so far and I’m sure it will get even more hectic, stressful, and wearisome before the album is actually released. I can set a target date now:

July 4, 2012 (I’m a patriotic American as well as a sentimental kinda fella)

So the countdown begins shortly!

Here is the plan after number 10 demo is in place:

(1) Finalize all arrangements/orchestrations
(2) Secure any necessary instrumental ensemble(s)
(3) Select and book recording studio
(4) Rehearse and polish all arrangements (I will disappear from the radar during this time)
(5) Release sheet music to publishing companies
(6) Record the songs
(7) Wait for entire album mix and engineering
(8) Upload and make available all tracks as singles through iTunes and Android Store [including a personalized app]
(9) Set distribution channels and begin personal appearance promotions
(10) Take a long vacation somewhere within an ocean view!!

Of course, we both know this is the scenario in a perfect world so I expect hiccups, delays, and issues along the way. Oh well, if this was something easy to do everyone would be doing it!

I love you and the kind support you always show – please keep sharing and I’ll keep you posted along the way!

Newly Released This Morning… THE WAY YOU TOUCH ME

Hello all:

I am pleased to announce the release of the 8th song to be featured on my album AN ETCHING IN TIME; The Way You Touch Me.

I really had a difficult time putting all the pieces together in this arrangement but I think the work and patience was worth the result. Whoever said writing music was easy never wrote music – lol!

Just follow the link below to listen – I hope it fills your heart with peace and joy – -

New Testimonial

Good Morning all –

Now I have to say this is definitely the way to start off a new work week.

I opened my email this morning to begin the daunting task of review (I know you know what I mean) and this little message was right at the top. Although I receive a lot of mail from people who say they like my music [hallelujah - praise the Lord!] this one gave me a new perspective and was truly encouraging. I just wanted to share it with you.

Mr. Richardson,

I just wanted to convey to you how absolutely lovely and enjoyable your music is. I am a language teacher in the Oklahoma City area. While working with my language students I have begun to play your piano music in my classroom. It has a calming, soothing effect on my students. They enjoy listening to it each day, and have even begun to ask specifically that I play it. Educators encourage the use of this type of music in the classroom because it has been proven to stimulate brain and thinking function. How wonderful to have something so easily and readily available to be listened to in my classroom. I look forward to many new songs to come. Play on!!!!

If you’re a teacher or work in the healthcare industry, I would certainly like to encourage you to use my acoustic music in your setting and send me any feedback about the response.

Thank you all for your continued support – have a great week!

Keith
