Today I introduce my new EP to you. You can download it for free at my website www.andreseifert.com There’s also a free digital booklet available: Download Booklet There are four songs on it from which I think that they represent my work and my artistic identity well. Here’s the video to the song “The Key” - you can see a larger version at my website.

Well, what can I tell you? I’m really exhausted right now. I can only hope that this time this is really a beginning and not another failure. I’m in need of a bit of success - emotionally, spiritually - and I’m not even thinking about money now. It would be nice if every artist could live from the fruits of his labor, but on the other hand - the monetary system has never been fair on our kind - most artists never earn money for their art or their art is being sold after they are dead. It’s always been a matter of good PR and marketing whether someone succeeds as an artist or not - and not all artists are  very gifted marketing people. In that sense I have lost quite a few illusions. When I released my first album to the world in 2007 I really had the naive worldview that you will succeed in your field when you have something good to offer. But of course that’s not the case at all. So now I expect very little. But you can help me in some non-financial ways if you do enjoy my work. It’s just important to spread the word. I guess it’s a bit like having a godchild in Africa. Many people do that. You can also support an unknown artist - it doesn’t take much effort and it’s an act of kindness with a positive effect. I made a Support page with a few suggestions - and yes, that campaign picture is somewhat risky. But who wants to look at a boring picture? I just hope it is a small beginning. I hope I won’t lose the faith again and that setbacks won’t make me feel so bad anymore. Now I’ll have to get a bit of rest. Take care, everyone - A
