Thank you for sharing your reflections. Your spirit of curiosity, enthusiasm and introspection are evident in this video. It really sounds like you had a great year!
Thank you for the kind words and for watching and commenting! It was certainly an interesting one that I’ve learned a lot from. And has opened some exciting doors for 2025 too which I’m looking forward to exploring. Thanks again!
Hi Gavin, I really enjoyed this video (which I listened to on my morning walk today). There are some really good insights which are probably worthwhile noting for any artist, especially: using the KISS principle when designing your setup. I love how you keep combining the bass with the sounds of the AE. It's all very inspiring so please keep up the good work!
Thank you Carsten! That really means a lot. You’re so right, the KISS principle is really valuable! Learned that the hard way myself, but was certainly a valuable lesson for me. Thank you, honestly it’s becoming my go to pairing. Love the way they can combine and the possibilities seem endless. Even more so with all the new modules coming out. And honestly, I wouldn’t be doing this without your amazing videos on the AE format! I have learned so much from those! Thanks again, your support is really appreciated! Thanks Gavin
So much in one year Gavin. This is such an interesting video. Just to look back at the road you travelled. We should all take stock every now and then. Sometimes the flood of ideas swamps the completion process. Patrick and I compiled another book in September, some of the learning from this ripple with yours. Collaboration Delegation Finishing getting over the difficulties and disappointments the hard work that seemingly moves a project only by millimetres and the total joy of creating and promoting something. Gavin a gigantic year and it looks like next year will be even bigger. I really enjoyed hearing your story. I really enjoy your journey. Thank you for everything you do.
Thank you Martin, that really does mean a lot. Especially since you’ve been along for so much of this journey that really started to take shape over the lockdown - it’s so crazy to think of how much has changed since then. That’s awesome, please let me know how that process continues and when it’s out! You’re so right, the journey can be so difficult with times where it feels like you never take a step forward. But it’s so worth it for the love of it and the end result in whatever form it takes. Thank you and for all your support and kind words. It really does mean so much! Thanks again Gavin!
Really great video again mate. What did I learn this year? I learned actually the sometimes good enough is exactly that good enough. Just because we can edit and edit and edit...but actually....sometimes just finishing the track is better than not at all. I also learned that the Digitone II might be the best groovebox I've ever used. I learned that I am now obsessed with pedals. I also recognised that not everyone gets to or can make music from the blank page and that is actually a pretty special realisation. Think about it? Before you wrote that melody, or before you published that album...NONE OF IT EXISTED BEFORE and it came from you. Absolute magic!
Thanks bud! And those are some great points you’ve made there! Especially the one about things being good enough. That’s one I am learning myself and embracing with the new mixed only recordings. And that’s a fantastic point about nothing existing before we make it. Hadn’t considered that! And have heard great things about the digitone II - may have to check that out! Thanks again for watching and commenting bud! Is much appreciated!
