Electronic/ambient artist. I started making music more than random scribblings in the fall of 2010, around the end of November. I think I've come a long way since then!

THIS IS RIDICULOUS.

Okay, seriously. I was never expecting that this currently-about-four-and-a-half-minute song would take LONGER to make than Birth of an Astral Nation!

Currently at 96 hours (10 more than BoaAN) and it's not even done. I guess I did have to redo the mixing twice because it's been an absolute pain in the arse to mix, but still! Come on. x.x

...on the plus side, it's even more intricate than BoaAN, has a lot of variation in the main melody while still keeping the catchy awesomeness, tons of little fancy touches everywhere, and even some sexy sexy saxophone and trumpet solos which also took a long time to splice and rearrange into the solo sections (considering half of the stems I received from /someone/ were somewhat odd in rhythm/harmony/ending-of-phrases/whatever, though I suppose not giving any particular scale for it along with live soloing WOULD cause some of it).

Blargh. Goal is to get it posted by Monday. (MAKE THAT A BIT LATER, I DECIDED TO MAKE A LEAD SHEET FOR ANYONE ELSE WHO WANTS TO MAKE THEIR OWN VERSION OF IT)

On a side note, anyone who's ever wanted me to try EDM should be happy - I am going to do so and have even started on something which is currently 1 minute long and took a bit less than 4 hours to make (in a car, so I couldn't work on the other piece). So far, my calculations show: Trippy jazz/funk=about 21.3 hours per minute of well-polished music. EDM ambient trance/house/whatever=about 4 hours per minute of reasonably-well-polished music. ;3 Guess teh mathz dunt lie, EDM is easier than jazz/funk.

is it that one?

it is that one

squeeeee

squeeeee

wait why did that happen

i guess adding more comments doesn't hurt now

you could delete all this and clean up your blog post if you want

wouldn't really hurt my feelings because i understand your situation

... :D YAY, ONE OF THE ONLY THREE NEWS POSTS I'VE HAD WITH MORE THAN LIKE, THREE COMMENTS!

Also I might actually post the song today and get the lead sheet in later, I think I'm about done with it. Just gotta work for 3 more hours in the program, and I'll reach triple digits in work time.

just leave fl open and go on a bike ride

FL is a bit smarter, you have to actually be doing something in it for time to count

oh.

yep.

Besides, that wouldn't be honest D:
