Sometimes I'm just existing and then start getting really good ideas for music mashups.

As good as traditional mashups are, thee's something that crosses my mind a lot.

Imagine if, instead of a curated mix of songs that already exist, it was a giant mixture of music by different artists all edited together. Bear with me.

One idea that comes to mind the most when I think this is a collective solo. You know those Pink Floyd 10 minute guitar solos? Imagine if there was one that was just made by a mass of people, a different person's solo every 16 bars or so, with the same music in the bg (the bg music can also change a tiny bit depending on the person if they want, that would add some personality and flare to it!!). And also synth leads instead of guitars.

I really wanna host or be apart of one someday. Comment if you think it would be a good idea?

There would definately be some confusions with mastering as well as with how the project is shared, as well as huge affairs with the DAW people are using.

But just think about it. Backing track runs for about 10 or 11 mins. Solos all the way. A persons slot can be 8 or 16 bars.

There would be a lot we could do in order to put together the full thing despite people using different DAWs. But for now just think about it. It would be nice, no?

I have always been super careful about the stuff I post here and when that happens, I begin NOT posting a lot of stuff that I probably should've.

I think I just need to realise that if I really want this to be my main creative site where all my links lead to, I have to treat it as such by embracing what this site is essentially for - just dump everything. I mean, at this rate I can't really complain that theres so little content despite me drawing and making music literally all the time. It's just me I suppose.

why am i making such a big deal out of this

Anyway I'm still holding off music posting until 2024. But after that I will be posting much more frequently. Remember, new album on its way.

Anyway, apeaking of such things, I do worry about something in particular.

I have a competition-winning comic that's three pages long that I badly wanna share here, but unfortunately I can only find the first two pages. I do have a photo of the first page but the lighting is terrible.

I hope I can find it.

Hopefully you will be seeing many more comics in the future too.

Hi

It's going alright... So far...

I still haven't managed to piece together something that sounds like actual music, BUT...

and this is a big but...

You can use all editions of Guitar Rig as well as other Native Instruments plugins. Something you CAN'T do in MPC Beats, because it only uses .dll files. Native uses applications in themselves and fsr that's only accessible with softwares other than MPC Beats.

Longg story short, if I can get the hang of Tracktion, the bitpop game is gonna have some competition...

IF I get the hang of it which may never happen idk lol.

listen to 3xBlast

Bossfight is life

BUCKSHOTZZ THRU THE SBBBBZZZZZZZZZZMMMMMMMMMM

I sitll haven't bothered touching Tracktion

"I should try it out properly sometime" I say for the millionth time

I hate to admit it but I think I need to watch a tutorial or two

absolutely disgraceful

something absolutely unreal is on its way. it has been cooking up for a long time now, and it still has quite a bit of work to be done. but when it is, it will be the a major triumph. nothing i have made in the past will come close to this. what is it exactly? well im not telling you much. it is a musical composure of sorts, maybe a song, maybe a new album. maybe one of a new genre entirely. other than that... im not giving you any clues.

or maybe i have already given you them...

There's going to be a hold on the music posting until 2024.

I know I haven't been posting much art recently.

That would be because most of work is currently with my school being examined, and I will get it back at the end of October.

Once I get my stuff back, slowly but surely, there will start to be an art explosion where I just post everything.

Hoping I get scouted :))))

I still have some stuff I could potentially post now, but I'll wait until then so it can all come together nicely.

(It's mostly all pen and pencil doodles anyway but I'm passionate about sharing them).

No progress has been made on the game since the last post about it. I don't think it will ever be done.

Game making is difficult business, okay? I'd rather spend the time making music anyway.

but that's just the way things go

in AAAAAAAaAAAAAAAAAaaAAAAALBUQUERQUE!!!!!

man i LOve reese basses. you can literally just use them in almost any situation ever and it will just work.

have some lone high-register chords and dont know what to do to fill the rest of the sound?

slap on a reese bass

have a ton of clashing noise going on but not a strong enough bassline?

stick on one of those bad boys

have no way to start your song?

just add a reese following the main progression

and it will just work every time m8

Hello chat

I have a YouTube channel now, where I will be uploading my stuff.

I'm not going to upload absolutely everything, only the important stuff.

I'm using Clipchamp at the moment to edit any videos.

Be sure to check it out!

Some context for my first album since I never really explained it before.

My first album was made sometime in late 2021 and finished in early 2022. I made it using my first midi keyboard which I got as a gift.

I used one drum pack throughout, one which comes default with MPC Beats (the DAW I used at the time).

It features 7 tracks.

Intro - background music w/ tts giving an introduction to the album

Woo Woo Caravan - a tacky recreation of Dunderpatrullen's Klart Grabben Ska Ha En Husvagn with a tacky replacement name.

I was unsure of the circumstances of uploading it here since it is a cover.

Automatic Tackle Delve - a text to speech rap (I've posted it on my page if you're interested). Yes I made that epic glitch sound at the end myself

Attack of the Thumbtacks - a long one, this. The album was originally going to be called this but then I thought of a better name. Really repetetive, I know, but I'm proud that I did that at the time. I think it should've been faster however I have lost the original file in the Wipe of 23.

Funny Looking Grapes.........

Sour Dreams - pretty much sounds like 50hz's earlier stuff if you think about it

Leaving Murray's Park - a BONUS 7th track ;))

The disc process was a little complicated. I wasn't into the whole burning business until then.

Since I didn't own a CD player, testing it out would be difficult.

Luckily, my friend did have one. So every day, I would bring it into school and give it to him, then he would take it home and see if it works.

Then the next day he would give it back to me along with a report, then I would take it back to the lab and convert all the files to something else. Then we would repeat the process.

Then I learnt that you had to burn stuff to a disc for it to be readable. So I did that, then finally it worked.

Since I didn't own a jewel case at the time, I grabbed an old DVD case and took its contents and front and back covers out. I then replaced all that with my own work.

work smarter, not harder

I went on a little photoshoot to a local park for the art.

Printed them out and stuck them on the cover. For the front, I made some low tier lettering and stuck it over the front, and coloured the background in a little for some cool effect.

I can't exactly remember where I found the CD for it but I just doodled on it.

The name of the album was an altered version of the name of park where the pictures were taken.

As for the music itself, well...

It's a mess to say the least.

Its muffled, weird yet sort of funky feel to it is what makes it stand out, I think.

If I had been bothered to use other drums, I would have, but I don't even think I knew how.

I was still relatively new to the DAW and getting the hang of things is sort of. Difficult.

It's mixed terribly and pretty much not mastered at all. But it's slightly nostailgic and special to me.

The melodies are off, the synthesizers sound... odd... in a fun kind of way. Just not fun enough to be innovative and cool.

It's mushy, it's colourful with crayon smears of brown and dark green along with bright reds and blues.

It's just a fun mess around.

It's Murray's park. my first album.

hi
