Woke late and converted and scheduled The Modern Game videos yesterday. NASA samples in the music stop the album from being released on some platforms, as the content can't be 100% exclusive. Of course, no music with NASA samples can be. This seems like a shortcoming in the licencing system, a lack of up to date regulations; 99.99% of my content is new and exclusive, but for the sake of 0.01% of overtly free-to-use samples I can't claim, for example, usage on YouTube for my content. All of the basic work on the album is now complete and ready for release.
Today, started the 'Snowflake' videos and rehearsed for Tuesday's 'Winter Party' performance before a sojourn in the rain with my beloved Deborah around Christmas shops. I need to charge on with new things but feel overwhelmed with possible remasters, tidying old works. Working on The Myth Of Sisyphus was planned for 2025, but I've worked on so many other albums instead. One thing that work on The Modern Game has taught me is how much I've improved in singing and production since 2022.
Christmas Tails in is the local newspaper again, we've had a huge amount of coverage. I feel I need to perform more, to exhibit more, to do more. I hope that I can do more next year. I hope I can find a break, a chance, a place, an opportunity. I'm always hesitant, if not afraid, to pursue anything or anyone.
Onwards I push through the heavy air of life. Onwards to our destiny we step.
