My new best buddy Karen E. Ross suggested I post something in this Lounge re: what I've been doing -as a musician- through this COVID-19 global pandemic crisis/apocalypse/alien invasion -whatever this is!
Like a lot of you, I was pretty much randomly thrown into a bizarre form of isolation that the world has not seen since around 1918ish with the Spanish Flu. Luckily we have the internet in these modern-day times! AND we have cell phones!!
Most of my projects were pretty much thrown into chaos. My mother and I released a second edition of an award-winning Icelandic cookbook pretty much the day Amazon shifted to only selling essential items. Luckily, I had just finished my new record and my mastering engineer in Toronto was able to work remotely with me on completing that project.
Given all this time though, I started filming "quarantunes" or "covideos" every day or three. Just one song generally and I've been using an app on my phone called Power Director. Do any of you use it? What do you think? My videos for these quarantimes are on my Profile page here. I invite your thoughts! Also, what are you all up to?
