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!

So. I made MORE music. ...obviously. What else would I do?

This one has a bit of an odd story somewhat behind it, if you read the first paragraph of the description. Also, it's really experimental in some ways and just plain awesome, so yay. :D

It's FINALLY done.

Seriously, some major thanks is due to BrokenDeck for not only managing to upload this song but also fixing the waveform so it wasn't really really big and clippy. There's a lot of dynamic range, a lot of different sounds, different ideas, everything from ambient sounds to a little surprise that I put in there, taking concepts from a genre I don't normally dabble in. The entire song has taken over 80 hours of tweaking to get to what it is, and I think it's turned out well.

Second, major thanks to Step for giving such awesome feedback AND a string sample (find it and you get a brownie (yes, I looked out for you, Aaracoa)). I think I'm going to be giving out a lot of brownies. Anyway, thankyouthankyouthankyou for all the support.

...oh yeah, and here's the song. :D

That I am now one of the 6 main judges for the NGADM 2012. For any audio-makers that look at my news posts, I'd suggest auditioning. :)

If you make it in, you'll be getting some VERY high-quality reviews from me and several other people. So in the case that you feel like trying, I wish you luck!


Posted by SkyeWint - July 3rd, 2012


You really don't need to offer reviews in exchange for reviews I give. I mean, sure, it's nice, and I could really use the reviews, but you don't HAVE to give them.

Similarly, if you do offer reviews in exchange, please, please, PLEASE follow through. I'm not asking for anything as large as what I'm giving. Feedback on a single thing to improve it, or just saying "I like the song, I can't think of any way I'd improve it" would be fine.

I'm not going to name any names here. But several people have promised reviews, said they'd do it in the next few days, or they were working on it currently (so that assumedly it'd be done in the next hour or two), and then never followed through. If you're going to give a review, give a review. If you aren't, that's fine - just don't tell me you will.

Hopefully I'm not coming across as rude to the people this applies to. It's just been bugging me lately.

I'm working on a truly massive bit of music right now with these awesome speakers I'm getting to use in Aussie-land. (Yes. I am in Australia, in case you hadn't checked my latest bit of music that I made on the plane flight over)

Thus far:

-31 instruments.
-18 different sound effects.
-20 automations.
-1 pattern, so every single note in the song is individually placed.
-67 measures long, and likely going to be 130+ measures long when complete.
-Approximately 2:30 long, and I'm just getting into the second main section which holds a surprise - using instruments and a style that I haven't ever done before, and fusing it with part of the earlier song for an incredibly strange and cool fusion of two styles that are for the most part thought to be incompatible.
-Step-approved awesomeness throughout.
-Over 30 hours of solid work.

If there's anyone here who'd like to assist in the production by providing valuable feedback throughout the process via previews and possibly livestreams, just send me a PM. ...comments on this news post asking to do so will be met with a gentle prod to the PM box, as I'd like to keep the previews private. (Step, you don't need to PM me. You already get previews. :P)

I have a lot done on this song, but I have plenty more to do! Should have it out sometime in the middle of July!

Oh yes. I am.

Enjoy, everyone! :D

For any fans I might have, I'm sorry I haven't posted anything for awhile - I've been working on a HUGE song recently (5 minutes long and counting) for a webcomic - the Dreamland Chronicles. If you don't know what that webcomic is, I suggest you look it up. Now, the author of said webcomic doesn't know that I'm making this song - it's going to be a surprise for them (hopefully a pleasant one!). As soon as I get feedback from them, I'll post it on here.

Just as a little teaser for this song, the genre is going to be miscellaneous, because honestly, where else would something that's part ambient, part rock, part orchestral, and ALL awesome go?

The worst part so far (in my opinion) is the orchestral part, but I'm messing about with it right now to make sure that it is top-notch!

Sorry for the long absence, but don't worry, I'll be riding back in STYLE.

In case anyone's watching their notification feed and sees this, I've put up another song that I had the idea for for awhile.

It can be heard right here.

Also, in case you want a higher-quality version or to support me without paying any money, I am now starting up another idea I had. Please use this link to download the song in the case that you are willing to support me. :) It's just an adf.ly link - the more people click on it, the more money I get from it. If I didn't need money, I'd love to just have it all for free on NG, but unfortunately, I can't do that. :< This is the best solution I could come up with.

Oh, also, I could use some feedback on this song. :D

Got myself Morphine. :D It has a lot of cool airy and neat sounds in general, so I'm looking forward to playing around with it for hours and hours.
