Ok. So, I gotta say... you've been incredibly patient. Amazing really. I haven't put out any new songs for quite awhile, and yet, you've continued to stay loyal and supportive. As an independent artist, that's an unbelievable gift, and I sincerely hope you know how much it means to me. Seriously, thank you...
So to be perfectly honest, as I started writing this, I wondered... should I explain why it's taken so long? Should I bring you in on the process in order to (somewhat) justify my ever-so-slow release rate? Because yes, I have my reasons why it's taken so long. And, even more so, yes, you're entitled to an explanation... But at this point, none of that really matters, does it? What matters is that I can finally say to you... here ya go. New songs for you. So, yeah... let's just go with that. :)
This coming Thursday, September 10th will mark the start of a new release schedule for me. Something I've never tried before... (haha - yeah, that sounded a bit too Criss Angel Mindfreak... awesome... :)). Anyway, in an effort to make sure you're never again asked to wait three years between releases, I'm giving myself... let's call it... a workout regimen of sorts. :) From now on, I'll be giving you SOMETHING new on the 2nd Thursday of every month - one of the 15 new full-production songs from the Peter Gabriel studios trip... acoustic versions of new songs... live tracks from the Munich and Chicago concerts... SOMETHING. Inbetween the monthly releases, time permitting, I'll be putting out extras - remixes, instrumentals, additional acoustic tracks...
The new material will be available through the usual online outlets - iTUNES, AMAZON, EMUSIC, etc. In addition, the songs will be available through THE GAVIN MIKHAIL STORE both in mp3 format (standard-quality download) as well as in the much higher-quality wav format. (For you non-techno-geeks, a standard-quality mp3 song file is about 4mb... a cd-quality wav of the same song is about 40mb. Both playable from any computer, ipod, etc.)
So, that's it. For a more in-depth explanation of this new release schedule and how it came about, you can read my recent interview with Musicnotes on the MUSICNOTES BLOG.
Thanks again for everything.
Gavin
