I've just joined your ranks and
you may not yet know, but my first
extended play album titled 'yearning'
under the musical act Efemèr ("ephemeral" in Kreyol)
is being released at midnight. This project
began in January 2017, when I met a group
of producers in Hong Kong who held a demo
recording session that became a transformative
artistic opportunity. The first of six songs on this
project came into being in March 2017.
As holidays and time permitted,
Icontinued to develop it along with my co-producer,
the composer Louis Weeks. A few online stores
that carry and will stream the album are available
here
.
(The album will eventually be available worldwide,
but it seems that online distribution and licensing is just as clunky as big box retail.)
