I am working on 'Idiot Savant' which is the next STEVER record. Frank is mixing #8 of the 12 songs. Starting in the New Year, I will be releasing singles every month on iTunes, Amazon and other internet outlets. The CD itself will be a bit later. It is my plan to have VIDEOS for each song too…
Green, Scatterbrain, Idiot Savant, Serinetta, Juggernaut, Poking Holes, Blackguard, Jacquerie, Full Length Mirror, Wee Bonnie Parker, Virtuoso, Crushing Copper...
I am also writing a BOOK to go with it as it's conceptual. (Digitally available first, then hard copy later)Ian is a young Savant who while living in a problematic household befriends an old Organ Grinder from New York. Ian has a special relationship with animals and there are over 50 of them through the record's lyrics. It's a massive album/project which I have had to backburner for a few years but I am ready to immerse myself in it all. My dream will be to have it made into a theatrical production (as it's very heavily orchestral-based even though heavy ROCK) and/or film. I have lofty aspirations, but what are we without aspiring? ;)
I will be taking pre-orders for it soon and will update again when I set it up if you are interested in getting that information. I didn't do pre-orders on the last one, but financially with the number of interested people already, I need it in order to place a large order. I hope you understand. :) It will be digitally available before that, though.
I am done sewing my character's outfit heavily inspired by Beethoven who you may know is my favorite Rocker ever! I will post photographs of it soon with my cello which is the main character Ian's instrument in the story as well! You may have seen my dolls...those were characters I dreamed up ages ago. ;)
I feel alive, creative, happy and completely inspired every day. This is in part due to choosing life and a large part of it goes to my FANTASTIC friendships online. You are all such a beacon of light to me!
I have never been so excited to share something…it's so rewarding to create with the idea of having a relationship WITH the Art & Music!
Hope you are feeling inspired and happy!
ROCK ON!
Karen :)
