Artwork – check! Master – (almost) check! So what is next?

wp_admin — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 15:57:34 +0000

Yeah! As you can see above the design of my home has slightly changed due to the artwork of my new record. I hope you like it. The master of the record is almost finished and I’m really looking forward to the day when I can announce a release-date. Unfortunately I still have to work on that one. In the meantime listen to the pre-production and be assured: the final version is awesome…

Crowdfunding and the record

wp_admin — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 23:45:41 +0000

Thanks to all the lovely people who supported my campaign on www.startnext.de! I reached the goal and raised the money for producing my record. Thanks again!!

Some news about the recordings: we are still in the mixing process and there is no date for the release yet. But the mix should be done by the end of this week. Come back in a couple of days and maybe I’ll have some news…

Studio, 2nd day…

wp_admin — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 08:02:20 +0000

We entered the studio 10am and left 10pm. Little daylight and fresh air during that time. But now eight songs are done, just two more to go. It’s been an intense time for me singing and Karsten, Thomas and I fixed a lot of little bugs as well. The mixing starts on saturday and I’m really looking forward to it.

Back in the studio: the first day…

Since yesterday I’m working at the wonderful Gentle Art Studio (Hamburg) with Karsten Deutschmann and Thomas Lebioda from Labelship to finish my record. After nearly 12hours of hard work four songs are nearly done, so just six more to go. When everything is recorded the record will be mixed and mastered by Karsten and Thomas. We hope to finish everything until the weekend. So have a look at my page once in a while.

startnext – campaign

wp_admin — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 00:00:10 +0000

hej!

i’ve been busy and i started a campaign to finance the production of my forthcoming record “a day by the sea”. please have a look at my video and let me explain everything on
my Startnext-campaign. i would be very pleased if you would support me.

thanks!

two more shows and the record

wp_admin — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 21:34:59 +0000

i know it’s been quite a while since my last update. but i am still working on the record (in a broader sense). i found a wonderful record label for my new album and during the process of “negotiating” we realized that we have to fix some problems caused by lousy recording-technique (namely by myself). we will re-record the vocal tracks and maybe the drums tracks in january (and i will definitely add a piano, and…) and the release of the album will be a few months later (march-april 2012).

please be patient and if you have the time come and visit my last show for this year in hamburg.

i will keep you updated about the record… come back soon!

take care,
nikolai

new videos online

wp_admin — Wed, 10 Aug 2011 15:55:21 +0000

i’ve posted some videos in the visual section. enjoy while i work on the record to be published…

still a(r)twork

wp_admin — Thu, 30 Jun 2011 09:36:22 +0000

pretty funny, eh!? ok. not really. the record is still finished but now I’m trying to figure out how the artwork, the way releasing the album, etc. might work. I never thought it could take so long, but I was obviously wrong at this point… I think (and hope!!) that fall is a realistic period for releasing the album. in the meantime: man at work!

audio section

wp_admin — Sun, 27 Feb 2011 14:46:04 +0000

i rearranged the audio section. you can find now three songs from my forthcoming record and one from my ep ‘on and on’.
