#03 / Almost done!

Dear friends,

Today is a special day for me. The final word has been said, I just gave the "O.K." for the CD, booklet, inlay card and cd label to go into the printing process after I sent the last tiny corrections yesterday night.

The printing, pressing, packaging and delivery process of the very first copies will take a few weeks from today, so I will soon send you all a form you should fill out with your address details for your rewards to be sent to you well in advance before Christmas.

Please don't hesitate to ask me any questions if you are in doubt about something, or have special requests.

Once again, thank you or all your enthusiasm and support throughout this exciting process. I hope we will all enjoy the new CD.

I hope you are all doing well and send my warmest regards along.

Giuliano

#02 / Update

Dear friends,

I would like to give you a short update on the creating process of the new Peskin CD.

It has taken us some time to get the English and Spanish translations of the booklet text ready, but the final result was definitely worth the waiting. What was particularly difficult for me was to translate the original German text into a Spanish that is compatible with both Iberian and Latin American Spanish.

The cover is almost done, we ended up choosing Filonov's "Formula of Spring" and are now working on embedding it into a fittingly colored frame and getting the writings right.

But now to the most important part: the second (and probably final) cut of the CD is something that truly fills me with happiness and a hint of pride. The hard work that's behind it is paying off, and I think this CD will have a lasting effect on many listeners. I still can't believe we recorded so much material in just 3 days!

#01 / Working hard!

Dear friends and supporters,

First of all I would like to thank you for the interest in this project which is turning out to be a wonderful reward for the huge amounts of work that have been done in the past years to make this all possible.

About a month ago, I got the first edit from the record label, and the overall image I got from it is extremely positive. The sound is nice and round, and maybe for the first time since I record, I can truly recognize myself and my own sound in it without first having to "get used to it".

A few days ago I sent a 10-page document with the "wishlist" for the corrections to the record company. Most corrections wishes concerned transparency, especially in the highly virtuosic piano part, as well as some requests that aim at making the phrasing more natural. One of the difficult things when recording is to keep the musical gestures as "natural" and "spontaneous" as possible.
