Not Too Much Longer, Now...

Come the 9th of next month (June), my first official release, Addendum, will be live on most mainstream platforms.
It's supposed to already be on iTunes/Apple Music and Spotify, but naturally, Apple Co. won't even allow me to set up my Artists account with them, for some stupid reason, despite having fiddled with it for days on end, already. So, suffice to say... it'll likely be the one and only time I ever sign up to do business with them. But anyhow...
Addendum, itself, is an album based on modern-day technology, and AI (that being said, nearly the entire thing is done with synthesized sound). Overall, the idea of it is to show the blatant/obvious downside of said AI and technology today. Granted, I didn't really want to do it as I did, but I had something driving me for the particular style... "electro", as they call it.
Since I finished Addendum, I've been working on another project that I have yet to figure out a name for. But it's something a lot more along my personal style. A much more Gothic fashion, you might say - Addendum is more Rock than Gothic (at least, to me, it is)... what I've been working on, since, is a little... switched around, I suppose.
For those interested in hearing "Addendum", let me know, and I'll see what I can do to share it, here. Beyond that, you will just have to find it on said platforms it will be streaming on. Otherwise, what I've finished, of my latest work, is much more old-fashioned in construction. But regardless, especially if you take a liking to it, yourselves, then feel free to share with others, and know that what I've been working on, I hope to be an even stronger resonance.
A LITTLE EDIT~~~ Since, apparently, there is no way for me to access the magical iTunes/Apple Music account that I didn't even know existed, I've just had to do what I can to cancel the distribution to that particular platform. However, I am also waiting for my music to be live on Spotify. So, once that is done and I have access to my own music (since I can actually access my own Spotify page), those interested can find the link(s) to it throughout my page, on here (which I will also be placing on my YouTube channel).
Damn waiting games...

Nothing quite like having to wait on a certification, when it comes to your damn work.
Mind you, I'm not referring to something like a licensing or medical certification. I'm talking about my personal copyright certification. Granted, the certificate I'm waiting on is for a piece of work that I really didn't want to do, but for some screwy reason, I literally had an undefinable drive to do it.
My most recent album (which, honestly, I think I'm going to piss a lot of people off with it, if they actually catch the underlying meaning of it, but oh, well) is currently in the process of being registered for copyright, before I put at least a few of the songs up for streaming.
Funny enough, the main reason I didn't really want to do said album is because I don't typically do the particular style, myself. I'm more along the lines of (naturally) Gothic Rock and the such. And personally, I don't really consider this album to be "Gothic".
Actually, the project I'm working on, now, is much closer to my natural style, which, I've just recently gotten a song finished that seemed to come much more natural to me. The biggest difficulty is pushing to relearn the guitar, all over again. I still can't quite figure out how fifteen to twenty years ago, I was doing Pentatonic Scales, like it was nothing - at that time, I could keep up with someone like Slash or Steve Vai, and not missed a beat, even though I've always been more for the Gothic style, anyway. I've always had trouble with chords, but today... Oy Vey...
But still, having to play the damn waiting game of legality confirmation is quite annoying.
