EP Released!

Yes, its here. But not as I'd planned. I've released the first three tracks I've done as the whole EP.

I made this decision after spending a lot of time exploring, remixing, and experimenting with my first 3 tracks. Basically I came to the conclusion that I didn't like where the EP is heading. I really want to take a different direction, and keep exploring.

So I've released the 3 tracks that I've done, and called it, Elucidation. It means, to make clear, which is fitting because this EP has clarified, to me, what I like, what I don't, what my own strengths and weaknesses are, and so on. Sort of a self-clarification. Yeah, deep and stuff, ha!

50 cents is as cheap as bandcamp would allow me to offer the EP.  :)

A year in the making. I hope you enjoy it.

ERGO ALT - Elucidation

EP Progress 14

Spent the better part of last month attuning myself to the new speakers. Mixing my songs. Mapping out song 4, which needs a little reworking in the song structure. The Fall (song 2) and I Feel Alive (song 3) are really really really close to exactly how I want them.

I took a risk and reset all my mixing work for The Fall, and attempted a remix from scratch. It paid off. I managed a much cleared mix and, in the process, noticed that some of the samples I've been using aren't very good quality. So I've replaced the bass and the piano. I purchased Reason Pianos refill, some hyper-sampled grand pianos, from Propellerheads. They're are awesome by the way. The piano sounds cool now.

I also need to do some more work on The Fire in the Heart of Youth. Particularly in the drums. The samples are sloppy in the bass end and it muddies the sound. I'll attempt some drum replacement stuff. How dull.

Back to work!  :)
