Wow....er, I mean welcome back!
Yes, yes, it's been a long time since I've posted here. But with moving twice in a year and finding work as well as leaving a job to find a second and third job makes things a little hard. I guess rather than that I should say that it puts things into perspective.
I've been somewhat hard at work trying to hone my sound and collectively get my thoughts and ideas together to produce an album...or second album I should say, as I've already released a first one. For those not in the know I have an album out already call Defocus'd. I posted that one a while ago on my bandcamp but I haven't really had any time to master the sound to my liking (well I have, but I decided in the grand scheme of things that instead of trying to make that album sound better I should just work on a new album and put into effect all the skills that I've garnered over the past few months of browsing youtube videos, experimenting with new genres and generally working on my sound as an artist.)

Also last year at some point, I started to release songs on youtube as well. That channel doesn't have nearly as much going on simply because I haven't had time to produce videos for it and I even had to jump through several hoops in order to even produce the videos I do have uploaded. Don't despair though, I have many ideas for that channel in the works and plenty of material to add music to as well as plenty of songs that need video (or rather are screaming at me to add video to them.) I also have plans to help a friend with sound design for some of his videos so we'll see how that goes as well.

Also, also, I have a soundcloud account as well (seriously, what musician can't take advantage of a cloud made entirely of sound?) That account is probably my most active one at the moment because of its simplicity and ease of use. I can jump on it and check who's uploaded something interesting, enter remix contests (something I've taken to doing a lot more often now that I have the confidence to do so), and uploading songs there is easy as Pi (that's 3.14159 amigo.) I also accept any comments and critiques that anyone might have and there's even a built in drop box just in case someone has some amazing piece of music they wish to share with me and only me. All this goes without saying that my soundcloud has most if not all of my current works (and at the very least it has a bunch of my more recent remixes.) The ONLY downside is that the space is limited, and by limited, I mean I can only upload around 2 hours of content currently. That just means that with such limited space I'll only be uploading sounds there that I feel deserve the spotlight or something. My full length albums will continue to spawn on bandcamp.

And finally, I made a twitter. But I honesty don't care about twitter, because it's dumb and people latch onto it way to easily. Not to mention that using the "#" to designate things is just dumb in my opinion. But if you absolutely have to use twitter....it's there.

So! You're up to speed now! Well, almost...you see, I have a secret for you...I'm working on another album that I'm hoping to complete before Christmas but we'll see. I've been sitting on a few tracks for some time now and I'd like to get this album sounding as professional as possible. I'll release it on bancamp when it's completed and more than likely it'll be free to anyone who feels like downloading it, but if you feel like giving me your hard earned cash for it I won't say no. But what I won't be telling anyone is that I'm seriously considering making some completely unique album art/covers for each copy (and even more likely a nice hard copy on CD for anyone that does pay me sweet sweet dosh for it.) We'll see though.
Toodles!
