Music is like photography

Both keep me interested, inspired, and sane, as you could say.
On the blog, you have seen several posts about my music releases, and there are, of course, a lot of points where both connect.
A lot of photographers, videographers, designers, etc. I know are also musicians.
And a lot of musicians are also active with photography and video.

Think about a new release, you need photos, flyers, digital ads, merch, video clips, etc.
And in today’s world, the demand for quality is higher than ever.

Something different

I record my music just for fun and to keep learning.
But like most people, I also love to share my music, and as you have already been able to read for decades on my blog… I love to tell you guys about the technical details, too.
This is how our new website started.

I did not want a website just for my music.
But what if….
We combine everything I love about creating music with tips on topics you normally don’t find on music sites.
This is why I launched www.frankdoorhof.com/music

A more detailed site

On frankdoorhof.com/music, you will find the following topics:

• First of all, my music.
  You can also find my music by just typing in “Frank Doorhof” in your favorite streaming app like Spotify, Apple Music, etc.
• Articles about the gear I use.
  I love vintage low-budget rack gear. There is not a lot of information about these units online, so I dove into forums, websites, and a little bit of AI to create a more complete overview of the gear.
  The articles will vary from reviews on my own gear, but also tips about vintage low-budget rack gear and how to use it in a hybrid studio setup
• Articles about hardware/software.
  In a modern studio, we need backups, calibrated screens, and of course a proper workflow.
  In most creative workflows, this is something that is often forgotten or not done correctly, which eventually will lead to data loss, health issues, or loss of clients.
  I will add articles about calibration of monitors, monitors designed for creative workflows, tools to help your workflow, and, of course, also software and gadgets that make music creation more fun or easier.
• Photography/video articles
  Always wanted to take that killer shot of your gear?
  On the site, you will find video tutorials and articles about lighting and setting up the perfect shot for your gear in easy steps.
• A lot more.
  The site is a passion project and will grow over time with new items, loads of articles, and music.

Collabs

Because working together is always more fun….
If you think you can add something to the site with articles, tips, tutorials, etc. feel free to reach out for a guest blog post.
By the way, that also goes for this website 😀

Enjoy the new website: FrankDoorhof.com/Music

I hope you are going to enjoy the new site  and share it with your friends who you think might be interested.
Make sure to check regularly. I’ll update the website at least once a week with an interesting topic.

For today, we have something really special….
Because of the launch, I recorded a new track called “Fractal Time Machine.”
When you open the site, it’s right on top of the posts.
I hope you enjoy the track and the website as much as I enjoyed creating it.
