My Sweet Shadow

Is a really good song that everyone should go listen to by In Flames, one of my favorite bands ever. That particular album is a pretty odd/amazing fusion of Metal meets techno I guess for a lack of better things to reference to.

And speaking of great songs to listen to, it's been forever and I've yet to actually add any music to this page which is the original reason I created this blogspot anyway.  I figure for my very first post I should make it worth your while to read through this wall of text in order to find the meat and bones of this post.

So after much deliberation I've decided to share not just one song, but three! Seeing as how I have a multiplicity of genres that I enjoy making music for it's just easier to for me to display my work in a few different areas. Slowly but surely I'll release all of my music, and eventually I'll package all my songs together in a nifty little packet and you can call it an album. But first lets figure out how to get this stuff posted...

First up is a song I made a long time ago called "Serenity." Sure it's just something I threw together using FL Studio, but I was pretty proud of it at the time (and I am sort of still proud of it now.) It's not much, just a little EDM (electronic dance music for those that don't know the acronym already) that starts progresses and ends entirely too quickly for it's own good.


Here's a mediafire link so hopefully everyone is cool with that (and if not, get over it, it's a free file hosting service.)
Serenity


Next up is something a little less obvious, and also a little longer in length and also in title. It was my first stab at something a little more ambient as you'll see when you listen to it.  Also made in FL studio, it's a good song when you want to fill the silence with something.
*WARNING: this song is longer than what you hear on the radio, aka, greater than 8 minutes long.*
That Feeling You Get When You Realize Your Plate is Empty <---yes that's actually the song name.


And finally is something even longer than the other song (it's also a raw recording of me playing guitar so don't judge me too harshly. The inspiration for this one came to me when I was looking out the window and so I just started playing my guitar and eventually recorded the entire thing because I didn't want to lose track of the songs I had in it. It is very crudely recorded (acoustic guitar through a usb microphone with a lot of interference.) But it gets the point across. I hope you enjoy it (if you can finish the entire thing that is.)
Waiting For the Trees to Turn Orange 

 Well that's all I have time to do right now (actually I could do more but I'm tired, today was a long day.) I'll up some more songs later and eventually load up some music from a band that I'm in. Happy listening all.

Version 1.1

As you may be aware, I've been complaining about how much I hate using facebook and having to deal with the constant UI updates and account hacking scares. I've mention in passing that I wanted to make a blogspot, and since I've hand nothing but free time to twiddle my thumbs and sleep lately, I figured I might as well go ahead and make one.  So here it is, in all of its magnificent splendor!

Yes, yes, it's a bit bland. I know that, that's because I just made it today and I wanted to go ahead and get something posted.  The main purpose for this blog is actually to promote myself in all honesty (I know, cocky right?) But let me explain. I have a lot of artistic mediums that I participate in, however I don't have nearly enough space on my computer to hold it all, nor the correct facilities via myspace and facebook to properly display them.  So i decided to make a blogger that does exactly what I want it to, how I want it to, when I want to.  No more "add this friend", no more status updates, no more of that annoying blip every time someone tries to message me at 4am from facebook's prehistoric web-based instant messenger.

So what should you be looking for on this blogger?
Well for starters:

• Original Music
• Original Art
• Original Poems
• And anything else that suits my fancy to put it mildly

However don't expect an update every second of everyday of every week of every month.  I'm not going to live on this thing, it's my outlet to the world. That said, if you have something that you'd like to share with me (or potentially the world) and you don't feel like making your own page, I wouldn't mind promoting you. Everyone deserves a break right? But anyway. I'm gonna go work on some custom layout work now.
