Tweaked and on Bandcamp!

I have finally uploaded "The Music Tonight" in high quality through my Bandcamp page!

Listen and download:

That was close!

I was just about to write a post about how I lost the masters for most of the songs on my previous album (under the G7 project) "The Music Tonight." This would have meant I wouldn't be uploading it due to the absence of some tracks in lossless format. On a hunch, I checked an old folder on my hard drive that I used to sometimes store mix-downs of my music years ago. I indeed found the missing two songs in a better format. Here's what I have to work with and convert:

1. Tech It (WAV found in that folder) ← I was mainly worried about that one.
2. Magnetic Trance (FLAC properly archived) ← Needs normalization
3. Fire (High quality compressed WMA found in that folder)
4. Alone in the Fall (FLAC properly archived)

But Clay, why couldn't you go into your DAW and make new mixes?
I wish I could, but due to some software and compatibility changes, most of the DAW masters can no longer be opened in my current hardware/software configuration. The main two specifics are missing software synths and my DAC not being cooperative with Sonar. I'm sure I could emulate the old environment and POSSIBLY get into them again, but that's not worth it considering I have the HQ mix-downs and no need to remix or remaster the songs in any great length.

Look out on my Bandcamp for the re-release. Up next is the remastered version of "Power Links," an experimental album containing my early sound experiments. Thank goodness I still have the whole thing in WAV. Maybe after that I'll remaster "Polydynamic" with genuine FM hardware. I still have most of the original tracker files and what's missing can be somewhat easily recreated. Too bad that Aztech card of mine has the crappiest OPL chip ever...

Taking a little break

I've been rather involved with my music lately, spending the last few months working on my last maxi single. Although I had a blast doing it, it's time to do some more discovering and listening. Maybe I'll find new types of music that sound great together and create a mindblow in the future. Any efforts in the near future will most likely be focused on Twin Toxins. I'm also set on getting a pair of Technics SL-1200s later this year so I can start making higher quality DJ sets and try out turntablism techniques. Keep you eyes peeled on my Bandcamp page, as I intend to re-release songs from the G7 project into a high quality compilation.

tl;dr
There won't be any new content for a while.

Finally available for public hearing!

New maxi single coming soon!

I'm in the works of creating a new maxi. This should be out by the beginning of the new year.

Wave goodbye to SoundCloud, honey!

If you look at the root of things, SoundCloud is becoming a lot more like mainstream music services. Things like blasting ads and promoted music you don't care about into your brain are just a few of the reasons I will no longer be using SoundCloud for my new releases. I'm not taking my existing account down, it'll just stay the same way it is now. I don't want to sound like some whiny punk, so I'll just shut up and move on.

Oh, and what the hell SoundCloud; 128kbs MP3 streams? We don't use dial-up internet anymore, guys...

My Bandcamp page will be open to the public shortly.

Everybody wants some!

Oh yeah! The new EP is done and can be streamed into your eardrums over the interwebs:
