At last….
No more long hours between headphones, reminding myself that I have to eventually replace them.
No more frustrating sessions in the truck because a particular mix sounded like garbage.
No more CD-R’s losing their life well before their time.
At long last, The Chameleon Dynamic is complete.
This project represents many things. It’s a mini-dedication to Jay Dee, A nod to Herbie Hancock, A dedication to a fallen friend, a “proper” follow up to “Freon”, various emotions that come along with learning that you’re a father, and a simple project I found a way to make hard and then take 4 years to finish. Most importantly, this project represents change. A change of lifestyle, a change of thinking, but yet still aiming for the ending result; quality and goodness in life as well as sound.
The Chameleon Dynamic will be sold for 8 bucks, featuring 15 trks. There’s also a bunch of additional artwork bundled with the complete download, 3 of those made by Mercury Waters.
In finishing up “Dynamic”, I had a little bit of time to upload more music on the bandcamp page. Granted, it’s older music that we’ve all heard before, but I’d still like to have everything that I’ve made on this page. Sound Design, Complex Simplicity, Livid Paradox, and Service Pack 1 even have new cover art.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know I said June 30th on Twitter, but I figured it would be a nice weekend gift for those that wanted to listen. Besides, who releases ANYTHING on a Wednesday?
So, on top of Service Pack 2 & Daydreamer Dialogue released this summer, heres some more goodness from yours truly. Check it out, download it if you will, and tell your friends, social workers, facebook “friends”, President Obama, and whoever you may think would give this simple guy a chance. Again and always, I thank you all for listening.
That Update I Was Talking About
So, things that have happened.
1) Precise Hero and I finished up Daydreamer Dialogue. It’s only $5, and it’s coming out on vinyl later on this summer (I think, don’t hold me to it) overseas.
2) With Daydreamer’s release, I discovered the wonder of Bandcamp. Eventually, I will move all my projects over there for download. Freon is over there now ($7), as well as Service Pack 1. Which moves me to point #3.
3) I’m going to end the sale of physical CD’s. It’s not a money thing (I go through at least 200 CD’s per project just from mastering alone). It’s just too much hassle to get them out to you guys. The post office isn’t exactly close, and as of lately I’ve been having trouble getting the orders AND delivery. So, with the bandcamp page, you’ll be able to get everything there digitally. Besides, It’s moving the digital route anyway. I’d rather prepare for what’s coming. For everyone that has purchased a CD from me, I am eternally thankful.
4) “The Chameleon Dynamic” is just about ready to be rolled out on that new bandcamp page. The links at the top of the page will change eventually to support this new page (ditching the ‘downloads’ and ’store’ pages. Closed the myspace account too, just because.).
I’m shooting for a June 30th date for ‘Dynamic”. Either that, or July 28th. Actually, July 28th would be more realistic and appropriate. You see, I try to release these projects on the birthdates of my loved ones…
Freon – 12 Jan 2005 (Father’s Birthday)
Sound Design – 4 Feb 2007 (Brandie, my Wife’s Birthday)
Service Pack 1 – 1 Sep 2006 (My Brother’s Birthday)
Beautiful Things – ? Nov 2010
June 30th is my Mother’s birthday, but July 28th would be Daniel Brian Studivant’s birthday, a friend of mine who died a few years ago who has a song dedicated to him on this project. A little more fitting, don’t you think?
I know I tweeted about Beautiful Things being released this summer, but I figure to release in November to celebrate…..
4) 
Granted, I don’t know it’s a boy yet, but trust me, IT’S A BOY.
Nice update?
As always, peace to everyone who continues to check me out. More info and music to come.
An Update Is Coming
Sooner or later. New music is coming as well. New Precise Hero, new Mercury Waters. There’s an Eric Roberson Remix in the player now. Sooooo…..
What, didn’t believe a new site is coming???
Now is the summer of our discontent!!!!
Well, content actually. It’s been pretty good this summer, even while working non-stop (so it would seem).
So much has passed last few months, and I’ll update you all as to what’s going on. But let’s deal with the intermediate for right now.
- New material in the player (2 joints from The Chameleon Dynamic)
- A new package of material to download in the downloads section
- I’m on twitter now. Check the links above, and follow me if you dare
Wordpress is awesome. Peace to Michael Dedrick for hooking me up with this website. There should be a link to his website at the bottom of the page.
The Chameleon Dynamic is coming along, with maybe 3 more songs to do to call it a wrap.
As it has been (and will continue to be the topic of discussion for at least 3 months), Michael Jackson is gone from this earth. I’ve got my piece to say about the matter, but Phonte (from Little Brother) spoke on this subject recently and has written the most well thought out essay that I’ve ever read in a while. It pretty much sums up my thoughts of The King Of Pop, so just run to The LAWN forums and read it.
More info will be here as it develops. Sign the new guestbook, and chill out…
website redesign underway
I’ve updated my movable type engine, so guess this process has begun. Next up will be my audio player.
But after checking going through some replies to the posts up here, I think I might have some outside help after all. After going through all the spam up here, it’s fortunate that I actually caught some real messages. Thanks a bunch peeps!
In other news, Lunchbox has released his mixtape for free download on http://www.weareomniverse.com/. That should hold you guys over for our Epoxy project, which is about 86% complete.
I’m also working with Precise Hero on a short colab called “Daydreamer Dialog”. More news on that as it develops.
website redesign?
Yeah, I figure that it’s time to do that. Not to mention post a few more (or different) songs. It’s time for a lot of things, actually.
I’ve got a new cover for “Chameleon Dynamic” I want to show you all. I’ve got a bunch of freebies that I need to upload. There will be a bunch of things that will be coming on the horizon. I’ve just gotta get my mind organized so that it won’t come out to be a sloppy mess.
So yeah, gotta redesign this website, or rather get someone to redesign the website, or just figure out how to do it myself. Man, Dreamweaver is pretty hard to manipulate.
and 3 months later…..
I’ve got some things to type about now. I’m back in school (not that I really left to begin with), Sound Design got downloaded a few times (major thanks), and while some music has yet to be completed (It’s coming Spon), The Epoxy projects are 95% completed. The EP just has to be mixed and arranged, and we’re working the cover art issue as we speak. Check here and the Myspace page for updates.
More news in a few….
