And so I have returned! I am back now with some updates of my progress within this final semester of the Cavalier Music Academy. Although we are already about half way through the semester, it seemed like a wonderful idea to share my ideas and current achievements with the collective.
As of mid March 2021, I have begun recording my 3rd studio EP. More details are to come, but I think I have decided on the name ‘Be Mine’, as it is the title of one of the songs I have yet to record. Another reason I chose this name is because I have already created the album art for the song Be Mine, seeing as it was originally written with the intention of it being a single, but I’ll save the digressions for another time. The EP will contain 3 of my own original songs. Aside from Be Mine, the other two songs are entitled Je Veux Être Avec Toi, and You & I. Thus far, I have completed the recording of You & I, and will soon be beginning the process of recording Je Vous Etre… I will likely be back in the studio this week. The recording process for You & I was a little bit bumpy though if I’m being honest. There were some technical difficulties with the software as well as the mixing board, but after those issues were resolved it went fairly smoothly. It took me a little while to get everything sounding good, even having to re-record the vocals because I didn’t like them. Overall, it took me about 2 or 3 weeks to completely finish recording and mastering the song. If I’ve learned anything from my experience in the studio these past couple of years, it’s that you always need to have multiple takes of every track, just in case you don’t like the way they sound. Believe me. Considering the amount of time it took me to complete Y&I, I feel as though I will be able to completely finish the EP by the end of the school year. The original plan was to create a new website and rebrand myself, as well as create merchandise to go along with the music, but I’m not sure I’ll have enough time to do it all. Although it sounds attainable in theory, with 2 other core classes in my schedule as well as the stress of graduation, I may not be able to complete it all. Don’t get me wrong, I am determined to complete this all and have my last few months in the WH Croxford recording studio be productive, but it is already the middle of April and realistically that is a lot to get done in a short amount of time. Anywho, I will be updating you all once a week until the middle of June about my progress with this EP and my other goals. It should be interesting to look back at my progress and see if these goals really were attainable, of course if Covid doesn’t ruin them first. Stay safe, stay healthy, and I’ll be back next week with more updates. Thanks for supporting me through this process. --Angelina Robert, Musician & Artist.
