The amount of music produced surrounding lost love says a lot about how humans move on from broken, hurting things. I'm not sure of everyone's experience, but in a way, I use music for the same reason sometimes. I'm sure it all fits into the spectrum of grief, probably the depression stage. I never really fully thought about failed relationships ( Read more... )

So I had this dream this morning that was rather interesting. I don't recall whether I was watching this in a movie, or if I became part of the story part way through ( Read more... )

I'm normally not one to spread links far and wide unless they are actually of some worth. This evening I felt like listening to some classical music, but not just any classical music. I wanted to hear something adventurous. I didn't find much in classical radio online, but among soundtracks I found something quite to my liking. It's not perfect ( Read more... )

I have to mention to everyone that today was my mom's birthday and we went to my brother's place and had dinner. Afterward we went to a free (as in donate) choral concert with the Gordon College Choir. The most amusing part had to be at the end of the show hearing them "sing" William Tell's Overture Finale like little kids, "bu-duh-bum bu-duh-bum

I don't know why, but I've always loved Frank Miller's Music Box Dancer. It recently came on the radio the other day like a blast from the past. I was all, "Wow, I haven't heard this song in a very long time." It'd been so long that I'd forgotten all about the name of the song. Anyway, fast forward a month or more and here I am playing around ( Read more... )

For a while I saw what I thought was a random FL Studio fan-contributed anime mascot, who's been dubbed FL-chan. Ha ha, "dubbed". Anyway, it looked like another little fad fanfare thing to me. In some ways it is, like FL Studio had a fireworks generator and other visualization stuff that's really more of a waste of processing power more than ( Read more... )

The latest in the RIAA search for money, we have Warner v. Berry. Berry is a homeless man living in a shelter in Manhattan. The RIAA sent the summons to an apartment where the man once lived before moving onto the streets. I don't even know how a man being so poor could possibly share music on the Internet when he clearly can't even afford a ( Read more... )

So most of you don't know that I've been working on a song for my friend, Dave. He asked if I'd write a song about Psalm 43 that could accompany the presentation of five abstract drawings he's doing for a class. I always have spare time that I use to write little songs/sessions when I'm bored or frustrated or whatever, so I accepted the request ( Read more... )

Something inspired me to be all artsy fartsy and make this really weird chord progression with progressively longer notes causing a continuing growth of noise distortion that has some semblance to the styles of Nine Inch Nails. Then I think I ruined it when I decided to do something else after the progression finished and the audio was muted. I ( Read more... )

I'm not sure where this one came from, but I've managed to write a small tidbit of a dance track today. I was playing around with new features of FL Studio 8, and this is what happened. Holy random dance track, Batman ( Read more... )
