I wrote something really amazing over the weekend. Actually, the whole weekend was pretty amazing.
The song is here http://www.soundcloud.com/unmanifest/scars
Which is really classic trance-like in the way it mood shifts and rises and falls, but honestly, this is the best thing I've ever written. I've never written something that was produced so well (the low end might be a tad loud and a tad muddy, but it's tolerable on monitors and sounds perfect in headphones.) It sounds professional. I can only hope that such a trend continues because it might mean a professional album eventually, which might mean my music actually starts spreading around. I just want people to listen to it, to enjoy it as much as I do making it...seems like that end has always escaped me, however. There's always been a handful of people who did, here and there...but never any real lasting fans.
Friday night I was supposed to go out on Tionesta dam fishing but after work I opted to pass out for two hours instead. A couple hours after I woke up, Matt (a new Matt, not the old one) asked me to come down and drink with him at his place. It was pretty much awesome. I haven't had deep conversation like that in YEARS. I got VERY intoxicated which is a sign I was having a really good time, but I paid for it dearly the next day. Sometimes I guess I have to break the rules a little, though...and if I hadn't of done what I did that night, I have a feeling the music would have never came out of me.
Just for back story, I haven't written anything meaningful in over a year. The longest slump of my life. For "Scars" to come out of that feels pretty good, but then again, if I have to spend a whole year of nothing musically to make ONE good track, I'll never be published or even known on a small time level.
I sent a submission request to di.fm - I doubt I'll get a response since they are incredibly specific about their genres and what they contain (electronic music snobs, I guess) but it's alright. There's not a lot of room for experimentation in the world of consumer music...you have to really break out on your own if your art is different, or have a lot of money to spend.
