Hi, folks!
My name is Vlado and I'm from Croatia. I've been a professional musician for a number of years, mostly playing bass guitar in various bands, both original and covers. I've also written and recorded soundtrack music for a feature film, which, by the way, flopped, and nobody knows about it. I've been writing mostly instrumental music for the last ten years, though my "first love" is singer-songwriter folk stuff, and now I've decided to give it a try. It's a bit of a stretch for me to try and write a proper song with lyrics and everything after a very long time, especially since I want the lyrics to have a point. In fact I think I didn't do that since high school, and I'm 36 now. I guess my songwriting skills are a bit rusty, but I'll work out a bit and I hope to do fine in a while. I wouldn't be using any of my ancient school-days material, I understandably find it naive and funny and pointless now, and, anyway, I'm yearning to write some new songs that would speak out from my present-self and not the high school kid I once was.
I've also decided to pick a guitar for this project, I find it easier to write songs and accompany my singing with a guitar than to use bass, + I'd really like to keep the arrangements simple and doable by just one person in real time.
I've written three new songs during the last month now, my plan is to record a CD when I have enough good songs for a balanced
long-playing album.
I've made a test-recording of one of the songs and put it on Youtube to try and get some response. Both audio and video quality are absolutely unmentionable, the recording was made with a web cam and it's mike, but I didn't think it matters that much, since it's really just a try out for to get some feedback and to show some friends I hadn't seen in a while what I'm currently working on, and also the substance of the song and lyrics is the thing I really want to expose, and not the type of production that would finally be used. Anyway, I'll make a proper recording when I write enough songs and this is just a small teaser. Please see it and share your opinion with me, good or bad, as I'm saying, I haven't been doing this for a long time and I really want to improve. Thanks for reading this and I hope you like my tune!
