- A short instrumental video I did while reflecting on the choices I made in 2017
Hello everyone!
I am really excited to share this instrumental with everyone today, as it signifies my move to showcase my more talented side.
This piece was created some time back for a client that never showed up. So today I added a bit of spice, more instruments and basically made it into a full fledged guitar track.
I must state now that this isn't something you can sing to, since I added way more instruments to it.
I love and hate this piece, its basically a 2 min weirdfest. The instrumental starts of with footsteps on a rainy day, before a paino is slammed down. The story I was going for was one of deep thinking and remorse, but somehow, the song ended up being a bit bright.
The artist was originally going to sing a ''heart-break'' song on it, but for whatever reason, cancelled. This is not something I do on a typical day, so it came as quite a shock to me that I could pull it off.

the violin, guitar were played using kontakt libraries
I focus a lot on afrobeat,and this isn't in that category at all! have a listen, share your thoughts on the instrumental.
It is a guitar track, with some stretched samples as pads.
Life as a blockchain music producer, entertainer and showbiz entrepreneur, how I see steemit and blockchain tech in the field I work in and my role to play in it.

take downs and censorship, the problem of Ytube
I have been in the entertainment sector for quite some time now. I am no stranger to the night, as well as the life of a music producer. The fact that I am a producer actually helps me on steemit in that I am used to sleepless nights. I stay up most times on steemit deep into the night until electricity is redistributed to other parts of the town and my laptop dies.
To me, showcasing samples of my work that isnt copyrighted on steemit is part of a promotional effort to show people that;
''HEY, OVER HERE, STEEMIT EXISTS, DTUBE EXISTS, DSOUND EXISTS. GETTING DEDICATED FOLLOWERS FOR YOUR CONTENT, AND GETTING FAR MORE THAN WHAT YT IS PAYING YOU IS POSSIBLE''
It is becoming more and more apparent that steemit, blockchain technology and cryptos in general are taking over different aspects of our lives.
A little over 8 months ago, I started uploading little videos into my youtube channel. Now I am not a big shot youtube star like those you find on . . . . . . .well youtube.
The videos I uploaded were basically just little samples of my works, or something I could link to my fiverr account so people could see that I was legit.
However, those videos I uploaded then never got any traction. Seeing as how youtube is, a lot of the attention gets diverted to the larger stars.
Now here is the deal. They aren't stars! not the slightest! Not in the sense that blockchain technology is making. The power of blockchain technology is big enough to move the common man to stardom status. And when everyone becomes a star here just like those youtubers, then the meaning of the word star disappears!.
Right now, using dtube, dsound, dlive , we have the power to make youtube look like a children's play yard. Its good alright, but its also showing old age.
In the age that we stand at now, we have 2 major advantages over youtube, which are;
- No censorship
- No advertisement
Very big deals.
Notice: I am planning something good, but it is still too early to announce. I am utilizing the steemit platform to set up a network of entertainment inclined individuals for 2018 and a massive change in orientation from programming to entertainment on this platform, such that everyone will want to be a musician, producer, dancer, dj, instrumentalist or otherwise.
In my journey on steemit, I have seen people whose aim is just to make a buck or teo, I have seen those who care nothing for the community, I have seen those who try to cause a nuisance simply because they can. However, I am a different being,my plans for utilizing this platform is far more than what others can phantom. I had a great teacher in @surpassinggoogle who continues to inspire me each day.
*Watch out for this announcement
