Debut Album In Its Early Stages

Filed Under: My Music, Personal, Short by admin — Leave a comment
July 20, 2011

I’ve been working on an analog album (not my usual electronic music) recently, and I’ve been having more progress than I have in the past. That’s not saying much, but never mind that. I’ve noticed that as I’ve come up with some unusual tunes, I’ve had the urge to share them in a raw, minimalistic form. For example, minutes after composing this, I couldn’t help but post it on SoundCloud:

There isn’t much to this, both in length and depth. It has some odd timing that I came up with almost accidentally, though, and I’m really enjoying it (probably because it sounds like a lost 1980s song). Just a few minutes ago, I put together a drum/piano track idea that is in 12/3 time (or is it 3/12 time? I should look that up sometime), and I’m getting that same feeling. I suppose it’s similar to new parents that have a kid; it’s unremarkable in comparison to other human life and isn’t really anything yet, but the creators think it’s the future ruler of mankind and want to grant all their friends and family the chance to meet the legend before his/her rise to power. This being the case, I’ll stop releasing stuff so early, unless requested individually.

The release date I’m shooting for is before 2012. I’d like to have some sort of small release before that, though. I won’t put any ugly babies on it.

End-of-the-Year Music 2010

Filed Under: Music, My Music, Personal by Steve — Leave a comment
December 5, 2010

FP YTPMV 2010It’s getting near the end of the year, and I’ve got a number of releases coming up! First off, I have a yearly compilation of songs coming up called “FP YTPMV 2010″ (2009 was last year’s, of course). For those of you who don’t know, YTPMV stands for YouTube Poop Music Video, which is basically just plunderphonics made in a video editing program. It will likely be released pretty late in December.

Secondly, there’s a Halloween/Winter Music Collaboration on my forum that you should check out and participate in if you can. I will have at least the finished version of the following track on it:

The release that is up in the air at the moment is my debut (not counting my poorly played 2007 demos) analog (instruments!) EP that I told myself to make before 2011. At this point if I get one song done I’d be pretty happy. If you’re lucky, there’s a secret collaborative cover I just need to play guitar and render drums for (the vocals have been done by one of FPFM‘s artists) that might be done by year’s end.

I keep music posts to a limit here, so if you’re interested, I keep people updated via my artist Facebook page, so if this place doesn’t keep you informed enough, that page will.

New Music: “How Is Babby Formed?” + Remixes & More

Filed Under: Comedy, My Music, Personal by Steve — Leave a comment
June 20, 2010

Lately I’ve been interested in making music quite a bit, and I have! 95% of it is electronic, though. Nonetheless, I’m pretty happy with the new comedy song “How Is Babby Formed?”, which people seemed to like right away, but the interest seemed lacking by the time the video was released:

Another song I made recently was supposed to be something simple for a video editing competition I was in, but ended up sounding cooler than I thought, so I uploaded another version that was just the song part looped three times:

Both will be found on FP YTPMV 2010, but one of them has its own single/remix EP.

For almost a year, I’ve been throwing about the idea of making one of these (the non-lyrical kind) as a cover, and actually singing the song myself. I think I’m finally going to attempt it soon.

Creativity Placebo & Long Distances

Filed Under: Future, My Music, Personal by Steve — 1 Comment
April 18, 2010

Creativity PlaceboI released my first electronic EP yesterday. I added it to my label page and posted a link to it on FPF… Ten views, no responses so far. I posted it on Facebook. No replies whatsoever. I’m beginning to think it was pretty bad, but I can’t tell for sure. I’d rather know it’s bad than have to wonder. It’s not like I’m charging for the thing, either.

I suppose it’s for the better if no one downloads it, though; I’d hate to disappoint them when I come out with some alternative rock album later (if that ever even happens) if they happened to like it, though, if they did like it, I’d probably make more. Maybe if I can sing now, I’d be more motivated to produce something solo. Being in that studio alone for a long time gets into your head, though.

All my friends seem to be moving away. I tried to solve this problem by becoming cool, but that didn’t work out so I guess I’ll have to visit them. I’d really like to go on some sort of road trip thing. I feel my perspective of the world has been forcibly made narrow by my living conditions, and it would do me good to get a few friends together and see the world. Off the top of my head, places I’d stop along the east coast would be St. Augustine (FL), Wherever Mac happens to be living at the time (NC), and New Jersey (I know a lot of people up there). Before you say “Surely, you must have more places to go than that if you wish to invest in a vacation!”, anyone else I’m going with would probably have places they’d want to go too, and since I don’t have a lot of money, I’m in no position to suggest that we don’t go where they wish to.

I went to the record store today and picked up Between The Never And The Now by Vendetta Red (and a few other less notable albums). Awesome.
