New song added titled "Red
Eye Penguin." A short minute long piece inspired by an evil-looking
nintendo-storing penguin that lights up when you give it POWER.
Yes. Evil.

Hola and good evening. You may have
noticed that I exchanged the existing flash player for an MP3
store. You can still preview the music, but you can purchase the
tracks directly from me. For only 99 cents a track, you too can
buy some music and support a starving artist. If it helps I'll
send you a photoshopped picture of me looking all dangerously
thin so as to appeal to your sympathetic nature.

In the desire of actually finishing
with some music, I am going to simply focus on writing short pieces
that will be no longer than a minute or two. I have just put up
another piece titled "Black Mirror." It is kind of dark
like the last piece. I hope you find some joy in the dark places.

It seems every time I start to get
back into the flow of writing music someone or something steps
in anonymously and without my knowledge and quietly whispers in
a tone that affects apparently only my subconcious or the world
abience of the world around me,"here, keep busy with this."
Bleh. I'm almost certain at this point that it is quite difficult
to make any amount of money worth mentioning through the company
I had tried and tested. They have too much shit on their site
to filter through and it each track is way too cheap for the time
invested in a piece of music. Perhaps I'll try another company.
Though I've never really had the care of income for something
I've always considered a hobby, the fantasy was more interesting
or distracting than reality.

So I hadn't uploaded any music yet
as stock music until tonight, but I started to push out sound
effects I've generated a few days ago. I uploaded my first as
an experiment to watch the process of submitting audio. It took
a few days for the approval, but it's finally accepted for sale
on the eStockMusic.com website, under my portfolio.
Check
it out.

So I guess a piece of music I wrote
and recorded is going to be on the soundtrack of an independent
film to be released sometime late summer or fall this year. Sweet
deal. "Philosophic Egg" is an old song, but a good one,
and it's currently on the playlist if
you wanna check it out. I'll post more details as soon as I have
them.

I've been experimenting with some
sounds. I'm working on creating an ensemble that I can work with
over time so I can focus on writing music rather than being distracted
by the general climate of writing electronic music wherein I have
to create a new ensemble of sounds for every piece. I've had a
certain dark ensemble in the back of my head for the last ten
years that I never got around to working with. It is essentially
comprised of lower woodwinds, strings, melodic and ethnic percussion
and other instruments for specific pieces. I'll be working on
composing some music with this ensemble in mind, but does anyone
have any ideas for pieces I could rearrange within this soundscape?
I have two weeks left of the spring
semester and then I'll have more time to really focus on putting
together some music. In the meantime I have a long paper to work
on and two major tests to prepare for.

I created an account with a stock
music company. This particular one I'm starting with doesn't sell
for quite as much as others, but I retain the rights to my work
and there are apparently less restrictions on style and quality,
to a degree anyway. I talked with the head of the company today
and inquired as to the most popular styles, and he tells me usually
world music and orchestral are better are on the market. So, I
may be getting back to a more natural group of sounds, though
still generated with software and hardware synthesizers and samplers.
This sort of company will allow
me to experiment with this market a bit to find my niche before
I begin petitioning other companies to sell exlusive rights to
the company for more money up front. I will upload a piece here
and there here as well as samples so you can hear the style I'm
developing, as they can't be downloaded anyway with the flash
player I'm currently using.

Alright, so I've added a Flash audio
player to the music page today. Check it out. Love it. Give in
to its hypnotic effect.

I am picking back up the gauntlet.
I've started by giving the website an overhaul. Content will be
following as soon as I get everything settled and figured out
here. I may put up a flash player. Bare with me. It is my sincere
desire to have some new music posted every week in one format
or another. Feel free to kick my ass if I fail in that respect.
