Wingy Blog

Hello all,

I had promised to write another blog, while you all are still so nicely waiting for any progress.
I must say I was planning to do more, but in the end I just took some time to catch up on those long lost 3 months when I was seriously ill.
I also needed some time to recover and build up my strength again by a program started in the hospital, which is now continued by a chiropractor here near me.

And besides, summer months are holiday months, I suppose everyone is lazying about a bit.

But now that silence returns back at home, (dad gone back to work), I hope to get working properly again.
Must try not to get side-tracked by my new kitten Aslan though…He’s a little bundle of energy and when he is playing about you can not get done much either!
I could learn him to photoshop perhaps…He has been keeping me good company when I have been playing my MMO games…He loves Aion as much as I do I think!

Anyway, since I can’t really say much yet about the progress of the CD…besides that I’ll be back recording soon and that I have especially purchased Premium Adobe CS5. So that I could use Photoshop CS5 for the goodness of the cover and the booklett. Oh, and also, there will be a guest guitarist involved probably, one from Sweden, but so far keeping you all in the dark on his name! Hah!

So, now, I’ll just do some random babbles…that’ll go about the title…

What makes an artist?

Why do I want to talk about it? Well, since a few things happened, and when you look around you, there are some fakes and not so fakes…OH, dangerous topic.

Well, recently for starters, a girl that found me on twitter, noticed I was an ‘artist’, or ‘musician’.
She asked me, ‘are you famous…’
I replied, ‘I’m famous to the ones who want me to be, but what matters is just the music I make’.

Why is it important to be famous? I mean yes, you are famous to the ones who like your stuff perhaps, we need the people who appreciate what you make, to keep on going.
If I had noone interested in my music, I would not even dare to start to work on a Full CD.

But lately it is more about the style or the hype than the music you make.
I’m going to get shot here now, but Justin Bieber…Can you call him an artist? I’m not sure…He just sings about la la la love in a cheesy way, dances about girls way too old for him…He does not have a rough male voice yet…He’s just popular…Though I dare to bet it’ll be hard on him when his voice starts to change (ouch).

In my opinion, real artists are the ones that live by their lives experience, by the misery, by the happiness. They create their things on their feelings.
Me?…For me it is convenient often to have my ‘depressing’ moments…I write my music better when miserable, how bad it sounds. I draw more as well, when I feel down…
But also when you are out and about, small things can light up that spark and make you work on something.
Now those are the ones, that are true artists…The ones that create by emotion.

I’d never could imagine to go singing, when my heart wouldn’t be on the right place…When I just want to sing to be in the spotlights, I’d not start or quit…
I must say I love what I choose to do…I can express myself, share things with others…It is a lovely feeling.

And that, is what an artist is…Inspired by life!

For now I will end this blog entry…Hopefully I can write another one soon, but with more updates on how things progress.
Definitely keep an eye on my Facebook page or my twitter account to be more in the loop!

Cheers!
Wingy

P.S. And here’s a vid to keep you all occupied a bit

Hey everyone,

Things haven’t been silent, though maybe they have been a little bit.
I suppose it is how you look at it.

First I’d like to say I’m still trying to find that press-picture about that movie of Keerbergen.
The paper isn’t responding, so I tried another contact form today, so let us hope it works, no?
I’m really curious after the article, and especially the picture!

Now, works have been going quite good on the Full CD too.
3 songs are in and being re-arranged at the studio, and 2 are there for mixing and editing.
And there is a song that will be made in co-operation with a guitarist (keeping him secret for now, cause I can!), and he’s currently working on it too.
I’m curious on the result though, I have no idea on how that’ll turn out. Keeps me well excited!

Sadly enough my work has come a bit to a stop, due to un-foreseen health problems that got me in the hospital a few times.
I was supposed to be standing in the studio this month, singing my heart out to record some vocals already!
So you can imagine how annoyed I am to having to post-pone it! Cause I just adore studio-time…But, gotta be patient!
So I hope to be recovered quickly (once they figure out what is going on)…

Well, though have to admit, now with me not being able to do the proper CD work, as the recording of the vocals, or the left-over tracks, I’m trying to keep things running a bit.

Not only those others are working on the CD, there is also a new site on the way, which will be looking much more professional.
Might be a while still, but something to look forward to I suppose?

And on suggestions and questioning there will be, and hopefully soon, a Wingy merchandise store…
You’ll be able to buy a t-shirt and such of Bloodwings…If it is there, I’ll notify all you lovely people for sure!

So don’t despair, things are still very much alive!
Thus, keep an eye out!

Best of wishes to all!

Hello everyone,

Thought to write up a little post, just so I can wish you all a Merry Christmas!
And of course already a Happy New Year as well!
I hope you all enjoy your time, with joy and laughter.
That you may have good times with your family, and may you have lots of love!

Let us all of course remember that Christmas is not all about family, gifts and such…
But let us also remember the original meaning of it, the birth of Jesus.

And I bet some of you will also enjoy a white Christmas!
Here in Belgium it will be so at any rate!! The snow has not yet disappeared…
And maybe it might even snow more, but not sure if that snow will stay put though…We’ll have to wait and see!

Also I recorded in some spare time, my Christmas song for you all!
(You can read the lyrics on the youtube page of the video)
So with this…I’m ending my post!

Happy Holidays!
