Thankyou.

That was a very insightful reply.

I salute you right back stinkypuppy, you've helped me and others more than once!

The plan:

*Work on my music, as I've been neglecting it for a long time, and I'm very close to finishing a couple of huge projects.

*Enroll in schooling, I stuffed up school as I was terrified around others, and spent my time out of school on my own interests, meaning I didn't do one assignment so I failed.. Anyway.. I'm going back because physics, chem, maths, and english are all quite easy to me when I try, with the goal of studying nanotechnology.

*Learn as much as I can about where the anger came from, finding a way to KNOW when its coming, because though I've worked out it was a result of repressing my true self, though I know it was because I obsessed totally over her, I still can't predict when its building up to that boiling point.

*Share!


Meaning a partner is something I've tried for a long time, but its simply not gonna work until I've sorted all my various goals and issues out, knowing this gives me great strength because I can put it on the backburner.

Last time I was alone for a year I came out with 7 music projects, this time I'm going to finish them off one at a time, I'm going to get the band going and finish the larger more epic project, and maybe try and inspire!

I used to want to live off my music, now I simply want to get it all out, one project at a time, release one every six months etc..

Which means I have things to release (free mostly) already planned out for the next 4-5 years!

Loving and hating the world instead of one person

Overdid that post I think!

I wish you the best of luck!! Your plan sounds awesome!

Keep us posted; I'd definitely like to hear some of your finished works in the future.

Thankyou!

Below is a little blab about my projects:

Well the most "standard" of them all is done, has been finished for a long time, just been mastering and re-checking, then rechecking again (damn perfectionism!)

I decided the order of release should get more experimental and insane with each one..

I didn't plan it they kinda came out that way... The final one that I won't share for a year or two (although 90% done like the rest) is so demented.. Its like ambient alien orchestral movements, with guitar spiced around it, amongst some clicks and pops moving in little rhythyms, in other words, an attempt at the inner workings of my mind.

Meaning it gets deeper with each release, though I don't expect it to be enjoyed by anyone.

The first release Atonal I've heard only positive reviews, I've shown 10 people, but that was the earlier crappy version, which I've removed some tracks and re-sliced. Its the most "shallow" side of myself however much it means to me. Its the most "music" based, of all of them. I want critical reviews too however, though I personally love the final mix I ended up with, no fillers, no wasted space, just a good flow.

Anyway..

If you wanna hear this first one, it'll be free download on a site soon, but I can send it to anyone, anytime.

My favourite thing is sharing, send me your stories, artwork, ideas, songs, whatever, and I'll send you this first project.

If you dig it, I'll send you the second one in a few months, I want to have huge gaps between, because I've put a long time into each one, and I feel they should be given at least a bit of time for absorbtion, because first impressions don't really work with this sorta stuff, it takes a bit to grow on you.

ENOUGH BLABBING..

Doh!

I normally consider myself to be a fairly uncreative person... I don't make music and I draw extremely poorly (we're talking stick figures here ). There used to be some fairly odd short stories I wrote about the misadventures of a do-gooder made out of Jello, but that was ten years ago and I don't have the stories anymore! Though one of my main focuses right now is learning to dance, which I've been doing for only 3 months. But thanks to the superhuman Aspie focusing skills, I've gotten fairly decent at East Coast Swing/Lindy Hop in that short amount of time, and just started up Hustle. Next month I'll be starting up West Coast Swing as well. I tend to think of dance as at least artistic, if not creative, but not sure how I could convey that over the Internet. It's like having a conversation with another person (the dance partner) about how the music feels, just portrayed in a physical movement form. Very intimately tied to the music itself, but with nuances all of its own!

Are your projects intended to be just for listening, or can they be "interpreted" through dance?

Wow, good question!

I LOVE to dance, I find it one of the most thrilling things to do.

Which is why around 1/2 of this first album is danceable, yes I chop and mess with the rhythym so you can't really dance to each entire track without learning the changes, but more than a few of the tracks are definately dance-able!

In fact, the projects get less dance more thought-based as they go along.

What I tried to do on Atonal the first project, was achieve an album that moves between danceable but intense bits, slower deeper grooves, and little ambient interludes, a journey thats meant to get deeper, and more intricate as it goes along, but simpler in other ways.

Its hard to explain, but anyway, yes quite a bit of it is dance-worthy in my opinion, attempted to create it so I could sit and listen to it, or I could dance and groove to it too.

It takes inspiration from such genres as drum and bass, techno, jazz, rock, ambient, and many others... But I wouldn't put it into any of those.
