Hi! It's been a while! I've got some explaining to do and some news for youse!
So, I've not posted pretty much anything new since August. The flow of original ideas dried up, largely as a consequence of YouTube and Uni taking priority over any updates here. However, I've finished the weekly uploads for my YouTube channel and am now going to be largely focusing on actually finishing stuff to its fullest potential. Even still, all I'll be posting here is original content, but I'm hoping there will be A LOT more of it... or at least... some more of it. There's plenty of projects I have and plenty of ideas I just need to get finalised.
My one main hope is that I'll actually finish Vengeful Spirit this year. I'm retracking all songs and writing a couple new ones that up to this point I've not had written yet. I did have to pull back on some aspects, as it was simply too ambitious for its own worth. I intend to still have a real drummer on it, but I'm creating a backup version with programmed drums in case it simply isn't going to be finished or anyone has to back out. My goal is to release it between October and December of this year, but it could end up coming out sooner than that. Only time will tell, I suppose.
However, as of this moment, I can't even work on new music, let alone publish it. My computer is out of commision for a hard drive upgrade, and I'm waiting to get it back. My old drive seemed to be having early symptoms of hard drive failure (it's an almost five year old drive, so it's nearing the end of its life anyway), and I wanted to replace the drive before I end up actually losing the data. All seems to be well at the moment, but I'm just worried about losing some or all the data on the old drive in the transfer.
But, as it stands right now, I don't have anything else new to report. Most updates I ever do from here forward will probably have the same beats: school and work have taken precedence and I have a ton of ideas I'm hoping to share.
That's it!
Thanks
Best and take care!
