I thought I might write a little blog about what I do with my days in Berlin.
I drink a lot of coffee. I cook soup.
I make postcards to sell at the Sunday market - it helps me to have money to do things like buy coffee and food.
I practice Ukulele alone, and with other people for upcoming shows.
I do graphic design jobs for money (useful for the aforementioned reasons.)
I work on art for Strychnin Gallery in Berlin - they carry one of my pieces already, you can visit it if you are here.
I ride my bicycle four miles out to the recording studio to work on songs. The studio belongs to Elyas Khan of Nervous Cabaret who will be touring with Amanda Palmer this month. Elyas and his wife Melissa took me in and let me live in their house and use their studio. If you see them on the tour give them love. Tell them Kim sent you. They are really nice. Also the band fucking rocks.
I play guitar and sing and work out arrangements for songs.
I write.
I drink a lot of water.
I walk up and down eight flights of stairs.
Sometimes I record with other people, like Jim Avignon, whose new album just came out - I am on it. Track 9!
I play shows.
I meet people and we hang out and talk about life, art, music.
I do interviews and photo shoots.
I tweet.
I see live music.
I have Skype meetings with Sean Slade, my album producer. Sean is really really nice, and excited about my music. He is wonderful.
I do webcasts
I make videos!
Another video is in the works.
There is more. I do a lot. But I wanted you to know what I do since I am asking you to support me and you may be curious about what I do and how I live.
Oh yeah....I dream:
Last night I dreamt I was fighting an evil force that was trying to destroy the world. A truck full of wolves crashed into a group of cyclists on a crazy elevated skyway. I was walking through swamps and working so hard to save everything. In the end the world had to be destroyed so we could all start over again. I was wearing overalls.
Pre-Order my album for as little as $5. Help me make my art!
the sunday market, you mean in mauerpark?
ReplyDeleteI bet you they were really cool overalls!
ReplyDeleteReading about what you do in a day is fun. It sounds like you are working very hard, but that you are working at things you enjoy!
ReplyDeleteYou're dreams are always so vivid, and you always seem to be fighting for good things. They mirror you art.
