Watch in HD!!!!! This is a play-through for my original song called 'Where I Belong'. This song will be on my upcoming EP, 'Illuminate', which releases June 18th, 2019. I've included links below to where you can pre-order/stream/purchase.
This is one of my favorite songs on the EP. Although this is the instrumental version, the EP will have a version with vocals by Andy Cizek (Makari). The EP will also have vocals by Mike Semesky (Interloper) and Chaney Crabb (Entheos). I'll be including both instrumental and vocal versions on the release.
I'm incredibly excited to finally have this release put together. I've been writing for a little over two years. After every release I put out, I always sit back and tell myself that I can do better, which I'm sure a lot of musicians/song writers can relate to. So I'm always that much harder on myself when writing material for 'the next' release. That's part of the reason why it takes me so long to put music together that I'm truly proud of. On that note, I really hope everyone enjoys the EP.
I'll be making the consolidated stems for my EP available for purchase on my GumRoad. So if anyone is interested in learning a song or doing any covers, you'll have the stems to work with for your video. I'll also be uploading some TCI's for some of the drum samples/sounds I used for the EP, as well as raw drum stems to songs I've recorded/engineered out of my home studio. The link is below.
I'm available for session work. Please feel free to reach out with any inquiries at AnupSastryDrums@gmail.com.
