Happy New Year!
Happy new year, folks!
Hope you had a great holiday season.
I'm just starting to get over a week-long cold, so sorry I'm a bit late on this post.
I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for sticking with me through the years! Some of you have been here since I fired up my Patreon back in 2019, and that's just amazing! I'm genuinely grateful that each of you is here.
2023 was all about trying new stuff. Instead of just another album of short songs for patrons (which I love doing - don't get me wrong), I started up the Clockmaker series, getting invaluable feedback and involvement from patrons as I honed the story and wrote the music. It was also the year I took a big step away from mainstream social media and started my foray into the fediverse, which meant some changes in the way I promote and talk about my work online. I also revamped my website, rewriting it, from scratch.
My plan for the coming months is to wrap up the Clockmaker series. The last few months have been hectic in my life, causing me to fall behind a bit in music production. I was planning to have all three parts of Clockmaker done by now, but I guess life had other plans. That said, I want to finish it so I can move on to the next big thing. I've got plans, but haven't acted on them yet because who has the time???
To be honest, I may sneak in a surprise release for patrons once Clockmaker is done, but that's already saying too much.
Something else that's been on my mind is a bit of a revamp to patron tiers. I keep putting it off, because I'd rather just work on music, but I'd like to get things just a little sharper looking. I might put out a poll to get your help with this soon.
Thank you again for your support through all of this. It brings me great joy and helps me get through my day/office job, knowing I have fun creative work to do at the end of the day. :)
As always, reach out any time,
Chris
