COME CELEBRATE MY ALBUMVERSARY!

6/10/2016

0 Comments

 
Exactly One Year ago I released my album Element 115 (Uup). In celebration I am offering some insane discounts to purchase my album all month (with full color artwork, 180 gram vinyl and digital download) for only $18. I would love to share this record with you.  Or you can also just purchase the digital download code for $10. If you already have one, you can get it for a friend.

I can't think of a better tribute to my albumversary than to have had the opportunity to write an essay series about the process of making this project in New Music Box: 
1st Essay: The Slow Listening Revolution
2nd Essay: I Don't Have to Choose Do I?
3rd Essay: Creation is Messy
4th Essay: The Rush of Performing vrs Being A Witness  

I am also sharing here the link to the whole sold out concert of the song cycle with a 10 piece orchestra and video accompaniment. Please share.

What a year it's been. Thank you so much for your support. Without you, this is just no fun.
Love, Gretta

The 4th Essay in the series of New Music Box

6/6/2016

Here is the Link to the final essay in New Music Box about performing and composing.
I can’t find anything that compares to the feeling I have when hearing what I imagined in my inner ear played in real time. I get a rush when I perform, especially premiering a new piece in front of an audience, or when the musicians that I’m playing with sound exceptionally good—when we are all gelling, the stars align and we’re breathing together, and that exact moment is the only moment and it is perfect.

Creation is Messy

6/6/2016

Here is the 3rd essay in the series in New Music Box. 
Creation is messy. Artistic inspiration without the mess (and an incredible amount of work and planning) will never see the light of day. Our finished work is only as good as it is because of the untidy part. Art needs us to bravely embrace our inner slob, even though most of us prefer a little primping before going outside.
