End-of-the-Year Music 2010

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

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.

Creativity Placebo & Long Distances

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

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.

Wisdom Teeth Removed & Making New Music

Filed Under: My Music, Personal, Psychology by Steve — 1 Comment
April 16, 2010

Whoever said technology is evil had their wisdom teeth removed in the 70s. I just had mine removed a few hours ago. Amazingly painless! Well, there was pain in the process, but very, very little. Now, however, I’m dealing with some pain due to the after effects. I’m on some pain killer now and it’s doing its job pretty well.

When I heard I was going to have to take it, I jokingly thought to myself “I should make some music while I’m on this since I don’t do recreational drugs; a lot of big-time musicians use drugs for inspiration!”, but then I got more serious about it, and now I’ve started working on an EP called Creativity Placebo, a musical experiment of sorts. I’ll get to see for myself if drugs actually change the creative process or outcome of the music. As you might have guessed by the title, I’m quite skeptical.

I’m doing it for science!

My skepticism of the effects reminded me briefly of the claim that Socrates was unaffected by alcohol. I thought about that, and then I thought about Socrates for a bit, and I arrived at the possibility that this is a lesson in disguise. Socrates is obviously against assuming things, and when it came time for people to drink, odds are he was seen holding a cup, possibly even drinking from it. The drunk people around him probably assumed that the contents were alcoholic, or, had it been, that he had actually been drinking it. He would then appear to be able to drink it and not get drunk.

Why am I elaborating? You understand.
