Wuddup peoples. Its been a long time, huh? Fortunately my negligence of Xanga did not coincide with a negligence of music. Much has happened since I last wrote. "The Left" seems to be broken up. Some of the members had other commitments - school, jobs, travel - so things seem to have kind of fizzled out. It's too bad, I think we had a really good thing, but its not an ideal world - everyone can't focus on their art all the time.
OK, so that's teh bad news first. Oh wait, there's more bad news. I had a major computer breakdown. I'm not sure exatly what happened, I just know that I came home and my hard drive was making a whistling sound and I couldn't get the computer to start. That was a scary moment, but luckily, all my recordings were on a seperate hard drive.
Alright, now we can get on to the good stuff. I got a new hard drive and I'm being more diligent about backing things up (kind of). I also took things a step farther. I added a proffesional soundcard to my setup - The E-mu 1212m. I haven't had it for very long yet, but its already helped make recording run much smoother for me. Next purchase on the agenda - a condensor mic.
The album - things are moving. Not much to report right now. Its going at a slow but steady pace.
Collaborations - much going on here. Last year, I got to work with MC Scorpion Rose for a short time before she left the country. Well, she's coming back this summer and we'll be working together some more. Hopefully I'll get some stuff ready for release. About a week ago I started working on a song with another female MC - Gypsy. Hopefully we should be done with that within 3 weeks. Enough of this hip-hop stuff, how about something on the rock/folk side? I recently started composing music for a song a friend of mine wrote. The original version he did definitely had a very folk sound to it. What I have so far has a kind of 80s electronica sound I think. The end product will have live bass and guitar, so we'll see what that will sound like.
Hmmm...is that everything? I guess its a lot of talk, but you haven't heard anything from me in a while. I'll remedy that soon. I have a few small releases coming up. More on that later... |
