Hello, friends! It has been a little while since I last posted one of these and a considerable amount has changed in the interim. Firstly I'd like to wish anyone who may be reading a joyous holiday season and a spirited December leading into the new year. Speaking personally, I have many new goals for 2023 and wish you success with yours.

As pertains to the music...

It has been a highly promising year. I am incredibly pleased with the results, creatively and productively speaking, of what I started (in the form of this enterprise) some years past now. Aside from what are at this point thoroughly well-established collaborations with Oliver Morris and Neehar Ravi (under a variety of names: "Dead Reel, "Spark Ballet" and "0/10") I am also elated to report the release of a new electronica piece at the end of the year under my solo project name "Listful". Keep an eye out for that, should be coming around December 30th to conclude the year! Further major releases to come from "Dead Reel" most likely in February and even more in time. With respect to the enterprise itself, some rebranding has been in order. I have never been truly satisfied with the name and aesthetic and have settled on something new which I intend to stick with for the long term. Hereafter we will be referred to here as Augment Records! ...reflective of what I am pleased to report is an enhanced state of mind and being at play. Things are heating up and I'm so proud to be the teacher of a fine clientele of music students (piano, theory and production) as well as an aspiring publisher. I have so many more ideas ahead of me that I am truly energised to produce and I remain passionately committed to music, I imagine for life. My resources are still relatively limited particularly with regards to music/recording equipment and visual design assets and needless to say would be extremely grateful for any support. In any case I am constantly independently exploring new assets and technologies which might aid my publishing pursuits. Any friendly recommendations would likewise be greatly appreciated!

On a personal note, I will  be re-attending university in 2023 for my master's degree which is likely to result in additional busyness. Despite that I will continue to devote the remainder of my time to music and to Augment Records. Wish you all the best this Christmas and in the coming year. With passion, Damiaan.
