O-hayoooo !!
Hope you guys are doing good !
I've recently been to Ado's concert in Paris, on March 11th 2024, and was very much inspired by the wild power she, and her band, delivered on stage, which drove the whole audience wild as well.
That was an eye (and ear) opening concert to me, after many years without feeling such primal instincts over music. I even had so much fun singing over some songs that my eyes teared up out of joy.
So Ado ... if you ever happen to read this, thank you for bringing the inspiration back to a musician who almost forgot what music was supposed to mean to him.
After that live, I somehow challenged myself to cover at least one of her songs. Many came to my mind, Show and Backlight among them, but I wanted to sing Ashura-chan because it has the very "Vocaloid" identity that Neru brought to the song (I know the song is 2 years old tho).
I spent quite some recording sessions experimenting and trying to add some texture to my (usual very thin sounding) voice. I had to try, retry and go through many sessions ending with vocal fatigue.
It was the same as hard-practicing for sport: ending up on the floor at first, with a sore body ... but the more you try, the more you start figuring things out.
I ended up managing to add a little bit of that grit in my voice that I was aiming to find since, at least, summer 2023.
Ended up being a very fun song to sing and ... I guess you can hear that a bit haha!
Also no neighbors was harmed in the process of recording this song. It was recorded in a perfectly fine timespot on saturday afternoons :)
That being said, this whole experience had me open Cubase to try fiddling, experimenting songs and crafting stuff lately.
After many months being "scared" to try things again for Boo:ooM, I guess this is a good mood to work back into it.
Many of you have been wondering how this project has been since I've been a bit silent for a while so I'll give some news here:
To sum up, I've been scared to work back on this album for a while. Lack of confidence, beating myself up by repeating that it's been a failure... that either people who supported this project are disappointed, and/or will be.
I honestly love composing and arranging, but this specific project has given me difficult times. So my entire recent mental processing has been to stop thinking negatively and bring back all the things that made me want to compose an album in the first place.
I still have 5 or 6 songs to compose and gathered tons of ideas to do so. I guess the Ado concert + all the songs I've recently loved and enjoyed gave me that one spark to do get back to working on it.
I hope you can wait until the end of this year for me to heat the engine back.
In the meantime, I hope you'll enjoy this cover and all the future release !
See you !
