After more than 10 years working on it, my first album will be official this January 28!

I can say it reflects all I've learned from Sintesis, Omara Portuondo and the rest of artists I've worked with but specially it talks about the music I like to hear: Weather Report, Tribal Tech, Rush, Wes Montgomery...

Here is a short video about how I mixed one of the songs:
This song is free to download from Bandcamp:


The full album can be streamed up to 5 times for FREE but I was able to generate a discount code with 95% off for Guitars Canada members just in case someone wants to buy, just enter GC95OFF at checkout, this is my way to say thanks for teaching me so many things about guitar and being patient with me all these years:


Thanks one more time to GC members @greco and @mhammer for being so kind to listen to all the songs and provide solid feedback. Any kind of comments are welcome! Thanks!

Ps. Please, can someone can help me reposting the links as I seem to be unable to figure it out?

Congrats. Takes a lot of Effort to compose/record/mix/finalize an album.

You should be proud of yourself

Gone through all 8 tracks several times so far. An extremely enjoyable listen. Hard to believe the musicians were not all in the same room. A very mature sound. Hard rocking in places, funky in others, smooth and soothing in others.

Congratulations Andrei!!

Well done, my friend.

Just to clarify, @mhammer deserves all the credit for all of the listening and providing of feedback this time around.

@amagras (Andrei) did send the tracks to me in advance but I have been unable to provide feedback due to other demands on my time at the moment. However, I certainly am enjoying listening!!

Cheers

Thank a lot!!! I just saw the notification from Bandcamp and was checking your youtube, interesting music!
Thanks again!!! I'll try to find the NAD of that Strat and send you the link.
I'm through the first 2 songs and really like it. Takes me back to years ago listening to The Rippingtons and Steve Rodby/Ross Traut.

Well done Andrei!
