I've been searching for some time to find a descriptive label for the music I write. Many songwriter-promoting websites ask me to pigeon-hole my style of music, or identify which well-known music it sounds like. This doesn't sit well with me. I enjoy exploring a wide variety of genres and coming up with my own, unique sound. My music sounds like me. (Scattered, all over the place, sometimes shallow, sometimes deep.)
I've been toying with a variety of labels. Today I thought of Contemporary Romantic Adult Pop, but had to abandon that when I realized the acronym was CRAP!
;-)
Therefore, I am back at the beginning of my quest to answer those eternal questions:
"Who or what am I?" and "What am I doing here?"
If anyone out there knows, please feel free to share that information. And if you have a genre label that you think fits, I'd be happy to give it a try. I'm pretty sure it will include the word, 'alternative', but I'm not sure of much else.
THIS WEEK'S NEWS:
1. I've been invited to attend a concert that will include one of my songs, which will be recorded live.
2. I've been contacted by one of my music publishers, asking me to provide recordings of three of my published songs for their website. (Does anyone out there have recordings of "Come With Me on Horses", "Requiem For the Innocent", or "Inventions and Machines"?)
3. I'm waiting to hear back from a publisher, a literary agent and a story-writing contest about my two newest books. Sounds like the premise for a joke!
Have a safe and happy holiday.
Geoff
