Mind Reflections 4 - CCJ

[@DOALTRONIC-Aldo_Amodei]

Spectacular captivating and immersive atmosphere! Another great work in the best CCJMusic style! Greetings and happy holidays!

Thank You Aldo! I really enjoyed creating this album. I recorded all 5 tracks in around 3 hours. I think doing that helped make them work with each other as I was still in the same frame of mind for each track. I may try and do that again in the future.

Nice track! It creates a special athmosphere 🙂

Thanks Frank! I've been happy with this album. I'll be creating some Berlin School in the new year.

I love it!!! You're like a runaway train, always moving forward! It really inspires me and makes me want to keep creating music. You're a source of inspiration for me. A few months ago, I was thinking of quitting, but thanks to you, I found the motivation to keep playing. You managed to reignite that spark that I thought was gone. Now, let's talk about this track... I absolutely love it, even though I honestly can't decide which part is my favorite. They're all part of this really introspective collection, and each one has its own unique charm that fascinates me. The title is spot on, you nailed it this time. It's perfect for these sounds. When's part five coming out? Are you taking a Christmas break? Hahah, I am... I'll be busy being a grandpa and spending part of my time on the floor playing with my princess hahaha!!!

That comment makes all the time I have spent making music worthwhile. If I can just make one person want to create music then it doesn't get any better. I don't do this for fame and fortune (just as well, I'd be on the streets), I do this for my own pleasure, and if just one track inspires somebody then I have all the riches in the world. The last of the 5 tracks is scheduled to go live at midnight tonight my time. The last is a variation of the first bringing it full circle. The title was inspired by one of your comments about my music being introspective. The fact I create all the tracks in around 3 hours really captured that as there was no time to plan or do anything that didn't just appear in the moment. Christmas should be a quiet one, just as I like it. Just my wife and I. I'll be cooking the turkey and then we will veg out watching TV. We will get together with family either on the weekend or at New Year, that is still to be sorted out. Have fun with your princess!!!

@@ccjmusic I've recently been reminded of Bob Dylan's insightful quote: 'Never play for the audience.' I now fully understand its meaning. He's absolutely right, and that's exactly what we're doing. We create music for the pure enjoyment of it. If it's appreciated, that's a bonus, but the essential thing is to continue expressing ourselves artistically. You, in particular, have been a great support. I'm delighted to hear that you'll be spending a peaceful Christmas with your wife. At my house, it will be quite a gathering: besides my little girl, we'll have the children, the sisters, and after 41 years, even the last of my uncles, my father's brother. He's the last remaining blood relative and I'm deeply happy about that. The only concern is the snow. It's falling heavily and I hope the roads will be kept clear. By the time you release your track, I'll already be well-rested, but as soon as I have a free moment, I'll listen to it with great pleasure.

@@IntraMoeniaArt I'm glad you are getting to see your uncle Marco. I have a sister and an aunt still. My aunt is now 95. I haven't seen her since 1989 when she and my mum came to visit us. My sister has been here many times to visit. We haven't been back to the UK since I came over here in 1986. I was just listening to the latest release (the last track on the album) and it definitely feels like it is the right track to close out the album. It has a definite melancholic feel to it. In all I'm really happy with that album and the method of recording it in a short time. I may do that again in the future. Enjoy your Christmas celebration. I hope it a great one for you all.

@@ccjmusic I'm sure this album is going to be a hit! You totally deserve it. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you and Kathy. We'll catch up soon, I've got a couple of tough days ahead. Big hug!

@ Thanks Marco! I wish you all a great celebration. I hope you and Barbara have a great new year. We’ll have a lot of creativity coming from you in the new year I’m sure. Brotherly Hugs
