Music progress update

I have started a Google spreadsheet with potential promotional strategies divided in several categories, such as Youtube channels, SoundCloud promoters, online radios and blogs for which I could submit my music for consideration.
At the moment I have spent most of my time searching for Youtube channels which might want to post my music. This article that I came across recently explains very well why Youtube promoters are such a great tool for promoting new music and how the process works.

Other news related to my progress with music are that I recorded a new performance video for 'Cosmic Latte':

The piano was recorded with a pair of Neumann KM184s placed under the hood of the piano and spaced out, to pick up the two main “clusters” of strings (the thinner strings for the high notes, located at the widest part of the piano, and the thick, low strings which reach to the end of the tail). These microphones provide a detailed, close, brilliant sound when placed here. I also used a pair of Schoeps CMC5Us with omnidirectional capsules, pointed at the tail end of the piano facing in. This combination really brings out the low end, and also provides a more ambient perspective. On its own, it’s actually quite muddy, but when mixed in a little can add body to the sound. Lastly, a pair of AKG C414s set to cardioid were used as room mics. These were placed in a near-coincident configuration (ORTF) to provide an accurate image of the piano. They were placed around three meters from the piano, and when mixed in gave control over the front-back perspective by introducing the natural reverb of studio 1.

I am aiming to finish mixing the recording and editing the video early January; the finished video will be the monthly video for January, included in the monthly newsletter that I send out to my fans.

Speaking of the newsletter, last weekend, I have also performed a gig at the Omnibus in London, after which I passed around a notebook where people could sign up, in exchange for a free download of my first EP, 'Monsters'; I managed to get 21 new email addresses for my mailing list.

Overall, I feel like I had a productive week and I feel like I am on right track with my musical endeavours.
