Woohoo!


Here's a song to celebrate the occasion!

I'm sorry I've been a bit busy lately but I've been searching for a job! (searching searching searching...unsuccessfully that is). and I recently got this:


It's REALLY fun! I was a big fan of the old Team Fortress Classic before I got into Counter-Strike so this is like a dream come true!


Haven't been doing much reading or music lately but I made a really interesting bell sound in one of my synths the other day, just screwing around, that I think I can base a track around. Will keep you guys posted!

Reading:



I'm somewhere around page 90 I think. Amazing novel so far!

See ya later guys and gals!

Thanks to everyone who wished me a happy birthday! I believe I thanked you all on your guestbooks but I'm making this entry just in case I missed anyone!


THANKS!

How are you guys doing?

I've been a bit under the weather for the last couple of days myself.

As a result of that I haven't gotten anything that I was supposed to do (or anything that I wanted to do) done. At least I get to sleep late though.

On reading:

Haven't been doing it lately because I've been both busy and sick!!!

Music:

Haven't touched the sequencer in what seems like forever! To be honest I think I'm experiencing a bit of separation anxiety.

I'll get back on it eventually (when I have time) though, I promise

As a treat for you guys here's the last thing I remember working on:


It's on the reggae/dancehall tip. (just kidding)

Introducing: The Moog Guitar!



makes me want to learn how to play guitar.



Moog synths sound so lush, I wonder if they'll be making a Moog violin next? Haha

Have any of you ever heard of Underworld? They had a few popular singles back in the '90s and early 2000's, including Cowgirl, Born Slippy (NUXX), and Two Months Off.

I've been thinking a lot about Karl Hyde's lyrics to those tunes lately because they, unlike most lyrics I've heard/read, seem to be a simple constant stream of thought that he pours on the paper and sings back. I have to wonder how much crap he gets before he writes a hit....

an example:

Two Months Off (read the lyrics first and then listen to the song)


you bring light in...

to a dark place
walking in light
glowing walking in light
gold ring around you
the hues of you
the golden sunlight of you

you bring light in...

cool wind following
following after you
rising for you
your skin beautiful
everything comes natural
fantastic fan
rocking rocking floating

What do you think? They seem to make much more sense when they're being sung don't they?
