EP Album is out…

March 5, 2018 by nirhermelin

My EP Album is out… yeeehaaaa!

Super excited. It’s been a long time coming. A collection of songs, beautifully recorded…. have a listen.

It’s got 6 wonderful tracks. 2 of them are sort of remixes, so let me explain below:

When I’m in my living room with friends, I always seem to play “a kind of intro” to my song “I Sat Down and the Journey Started”…. I really wanted to share that whole vibe with you, so I made a version with a longer intro.

Another track that comes in two forms is “Middle East Song”. The official song includes the amazing percussionist, Ronan Skillen. But.. since my living-room doesn’t always have Ronan available, I have also released a solo version of the song. I’ll write more about the song when I release the music video – I think it’s going to be my best video yet.

Anyways, you can order the album digitally on bandcamp (or on all the other regular platforms). Its pretty cheap, but if you really really REALLY like me, you can pay-more on the bandcamp system.

and… If you want a physical copy, (which has turned out to be so beautiful – really), please let me know.

New Single & EP Album Info

If ever I wrote something Funky, this is it “Soldier in Arms – PartII“… And it’s a great way to open 2018…. yeehaaa! (Video Below)

Why Part 2:

I did record the entire track, but I simply wasn’t happy enough with the first part. It might be a lame reason, but its the truth.

The Name:

of the song actually becomes very evident when you hear Part 1. Alas you won’t know until I release it (hehe). For now, I’ll tell you that it gives me the “Game of Thrones war scene” feeling.

For Guitarists

You can download TABs & Sheet Music (Free). There is also a beginner’s version – so that everyone can kinda play the song.

Purchase:

If you want to support my music (which would be awesome), you’re welcome to purchase the single on BandCamp or any of the other platforms. This would totally let me know if I’m doing a good job.

… but before you do, read on (below the video)… why?
Well, you can pre-order the EP that is releasing soon, and get the single included.

EP ALBUM RELEASE

After much work, the EP Album is set to release on Feb 11 2018. Finally.. oh my!

How much I have learned through this process. Dear me.. You’d think that having a business degree would have made it easier… but not really. 🙂

I’ll write much more about all the songs and where/why/what..

… for now, I’ll tell you that

you get 4 tracks + 2 awesome mixes
its available for pre-order (on various platforms – digital only for now).
you’ll automatically get a download of 2 tracks (including the Soldier in Arm Pt.II) if you pre-order through bandcamp
its pretty cheap, but if you really really REALLY like me, you can pay-more on the bandcamp system.

I wish you all an amazing 2018, full of joys (and pains when needed) …

New Video: I sat down & the journey started

The first video of my new series: “Sit-Down Journeys”

Its an original piece that I’ve been working on and amended over a couple of years.

Its largely inspired by the works of Chicane who is an electronic/trance DJ. I often imagine myself dancing in my seat while I perform. 🙂

I quit my corporate job!

I’ve realized that having a full-time corporate job, just won’t allow me to do the music I want to do….

So I quit, did some travelling, and here I am. There is going to be a lot of music coming your way, and its going to be quite different from my older material.

My thinking is:

Music Concept: Sit-Down-Journeys. Genre: Adventurous Chill-out.

More about this soon. 🙂
