Full excerpts from the diary bridles posted daily on Facebook
I am unknown.
You have to be on social media.
OK.
I created my Facebook account on September 15.
Since I wonder what I will be able to post!
And this morning I found!
I'm going to keep a little daily diary of my journey!
August 2021
I meet by chance the sociologist B.B
-What are you doing ?
- Music in my bathroom!
- Can I listen ?
Listen
- You should make an album!
I have 1 fan: B.B.
I decide to fire Procrastine from my interior, it has been installed for too long!
Ok I'm going to make an album.
The texts sleep in a drawer.
Various musical gear piled up here and there for the day when….
My favorite MAO software, thin it is more up to date!
The family is reunited.
5 months spent watching tutorials on mixing, mastering.
Why is there so much breath?
January 2022 : I attack the composition of the album.
I write. I record. I re-record. I sleep little. I record. Is it night or day? Zombie.
4 months .
It took me 4 months but he was there. Ended .
I listen to the music of recognized artists : my sound is not up to par!
Wow, a sound engineer and a day in the studio are expensive!
We're going to add 2 months to watch tutorials!!!!!
July 6
I'm not sure I can do better.
I'm looking for random sound engineers on the net.
You want to listen to my model and give me your opinion?
Surprising and encouraging result.
It's not perfect but the album exists.
And now, what do I do ?
Maybe find a manager who will know what to do!
A manager who wants to bet on an outsider who has 1 fan.
I find out about existing managers.
I am still inquiring.
And even.
Finally I find.
I like her.
She has red hair. She is Aquarius.
She seems available to me. Different.
I write his name in a ballpoint pen in my tattoo to remember him.
I let the ink macerate in the middle of my Koi carp tatoo
I dare not contact her.
I have 1 fan.
I ask B.B if she wants to contact her.
I don't dare.
I have 1 fan.
I create a site where I deposit the model.
I put a password.
Just for her.
Maybe she'll listen.
Maybe.
The days pass.
As long as one can be.
- could we relaunch it or contact others?
- No, I want her to listen, I'll wait.
I will not restart it.
I'm in the queue. Necessarily.
Months turned into 2 weeks.
- She answered !
She had gone to the site.
She had typed in the password.
She had listened.
A little, a lot, passionately, madly …..
The miracle did not happen.
Her answer touched me.
She was negative but beautiful.
She had taken the time.
She didn't have much time.
Maybe it's too fringe.
Maybe the photo I put.
Maybe the sound.
What my age?
I began to doubt.
Forgetting that I had 1 fan!
- We will contact others!
We contacted this other woman.
Negative response.
No more artists.
Didn't listen.
Kind response.
So we contacted a man.
He never answered.
I stopped wanting to contact.
I understand that I have to develop on my own.
I don't know anyone in this industry at all.
My grandfather is a producer …….but of wine!
I'm going to join the DIY movement.
The fairy leaning over my cradle must have been punk!
Social networks!
Social networks!
You have to be on social media.
OK . OK . Got it……
I go .
By dragging the paw.
Find my audience. Find fans.
No idea who can hang with my songs.
I'll start with Facebook!
I have 1 friend.
I'm a little ashamed so I put the friend section invisible!
How will I find friends?
I'm going to join groups!
Fan of French song.
The song is French.
Lovers of French song.
Long live French song.
When I felt that I was soon going to put the flag of France in place of my profile picture, I stopped!!
I liked.
I commented.
I posted.
After 5 days I was exhausted.
And no friend requests accepted.
You have to be persistent.
I didn't hang on.
I'm going to change my method!
I need to put a song on the profile. It can help!
I'm going to make a clip.
I'm not at home, I have nothing.
I found an old royalty-free movie and edited it with my computer.
I like.
This will be the clip for So we're shooting.
I post.
Who can like my music?
Everyone potentially and nobody.
So I'm going to invite everyone.
Those who like it will stay and those who don't like it will also stay because it adds to their account!
So I invited.
I met some cool people.
Marriage requests.
Cocks in pictures.
Resumes.
“Hello, are you well”.
Posts upon posts.
I try to answer everyone but it quickly becomes impossible.
In 5 days I had more friends than …….. I leave my number of friends invisible because there I am ashamed in the other direction!
But in the lot I found people who loved.
And slowly take shape those who will stay by my side.
Gently.
Website !
I will make a website.
With a newsletter for subscribers.
Do !
I will develop Instagram too.
Youtube.Facebook.Instagram.
It'll be fine for now.
I want to save time to be bored!
I don't have a group.
No musician.
I rehearse my songs alone.
Acoustic version.
Piano/voice
Guitar/vocals
I'm putting on the concert unplugged!
I may add 2 or 3 buttons.
Sequencer and Jan in concert.
I'll start with the street.
Always liked the street.
Never dared to play it!
Under the tree at the corner of Rue Machin.
At the public piano.
On a bench in the old port.
Unusual place.
My guitar and me.
It can be nice as a first tour.
I was accepted by a music distributor!
Incredible distribution, they are located in my region.
I do not know.
I applied because he spoke French and he didn't take everyone.
I thought that being taken would be a guarantee of quality.
I don't know if they listened but they accepted me.
The flashback is over!
We joined the moment X.
I rehearse my songs.
The concert rue machine.
I created a Page.
Yes we can go "like" it.
It supports me.
It's a good idea.
I will put the dates and places on the concert page of my site.
I pick up my guitar.
I must know the songs well.
I repeat.
Again.
And even.
That's it, I officially signed the contract with Inouïe distribution.
It's my music distributor.
They will release the album on digital platforms.
They are also going to distribute the cds in the big brands.
I prepared the files.
Infographics.
DDP: I suddenly learned to use new software.
The album is set to be officially released on February 10.
It gives me time to release a few singles first....
