AlbumAbout
My daughters and I made the record. I use this challenge as a way to enjoy the creative process and hopefully inspire my kids along the way. It also serves as a great record of events. Time and place. As my kids, and myself, continue to age.
Favourite Moment
Recording Cosmic love was the most fun I've had recording a song in a long time. It cheered me up and I felt that joy made it into the song. I just wanted to share it with people.
Advice
Of course! Sometimes best intentions, organization and structure are just burdens to creativity. I kept trying to get my daughter to "write" songs and "perform" them in a neat and organized way. (Not just cranking out Frozen songs with the volume at 11.) I learned that trying to control this chaos was just making her and I enjoy the process less and I found she participated less because of it. (She still found plenty of moments though!) Once I backed off of creating a "masterpiece" I think we all settled down a little.
