I am now allowing fans to download my album and single songs for free on bandcamp.com.
My family and I have been on this long slide deeper into debt and poverty and we are at an all time low, exclusively dependent on others. This has made me think of my fans, most of whom tend to be younger (interestingly enough) and can not pay for my music, even though I am in great need.
I've been thinking and I've come to the conclusion that I don't care if I get paid for my music at this point as long as I make my fans happy. The reason I was selling my music in the first place was only because other people insisted I shouldn't take less for my hard work. Yes, it was a lot of hard work and I'm still improving some of the songs, but what does it matter if no one else can enjoy it? People say my music is unique and impressive, but that album has been inaccessable to these people until now. It's causing a disconnect with my fans.
So, come on over and have a listen and download if you want. Donations are definitely welcome, but please don't feel obligated to give.
If you want to use my music for a project or anything, please ask permission first and give me my due credit.
Y'all have a good one!

Part 2:
I enjoy “Voolu Lidsete” quite a bit for its atmospheric and dreamy quality. Although brief, I like the eastern instrument that gets added to it toward the end. I really don’t want to show my ignorance by trying to guess what it is exactly. What does the track even mean? Tried googling it, but to no avail.
The synth for “They Came and Left,” although has a nice timbre to it, was a bit cryptic to me mostly because the piece started as a rock piece. The drums dropped off along with the guitar and comes in the synth. After it was over, it got me thinking whether this whole thing was meant to be conceptual or not. The titles of your tracks gives me a clue that it is, but the music challenges me in figuring out what they may be.
Not the best review I know, but I’ll most likely come back to listen to these just so I can perhaps gain a bit more insight. While listening, boring is certainly not a word to describe it.

Voolu Iidsete is probably the worst way I could have named the song. The song is comprised of a very Mongol-Turkic sound, using a bowed Sanshin in place of a Morin Khuur and I played my Cogur Saz as the Turkish element along with bells and a sample of me percussing on my Saz. The words, "voolu iidsete," are Estonian for, "The Flow Of The Ancients." Think about that. Why did I name a Mongol-Turkic song in Eesti?? It wasn't a very good decision, as I should have named it in a Mongolian dialect, or Turkish, but I named it in Estonian because I love how the language sounds. I knew that I wanted to name it 'The Flow Of Ancient', but I wanted to name it in a different language and didn't think well enough about it and picked Eesti.
Yes, the album is sort of conceptual, but I don't really advertise it that way. The album is about the degradation of humanity, the general loss or lack of appreciation for old ways, each other, and good morals. Also, it's against the governments and their stupidity.
