Fruitless... is a new book of poetry and album of music written by Daniel to music by Ogi Feel the Beat with illustrations by Tanate Asami available December 1st.
It might be a trailer spoiling the plot of a movie...
Or marketing that tries to influence what you feel about a piece of entertainment...
A critic might sway your opinion before you have a chance for a first impression...
Even an artist’s own description of their work in museums and galleries can sometimes get in the way of an honest reaction...
On top of that, the music that takes people months or years to create is devalued by their availability on streaming services which deal out a crowded feed of fleeting moments and pay out a fraction of a cent per listen to the artist...
My new book and album of music will be available December 1st exclusively on writtenbydaniel.com before releasing any full songs or key plot elements, for anyone who wants to enjoy a piece of art with no prior expectations...
After the book and album are available, I’ll spend a few months doing actual promotion with singles, videos, and other previews...
Then around March I’ll release the album on streaming platforms to make it accessible for more people...
So if you’re able and interested, I encourage you to take a chance and let yourself be surprised with something completely new and unexpected...
Otherwise, keep an eye out for more previews in the coming months...
(Plus it’s probably the best thing I’ve created, but maybe that’s me trying to sway your opinion...)
