Eucaryote: Also, there's a political undercurrent (or overcurrent, if you will) to my music. Sometimes that's the intention from the beginning, but other times I realize the aspect when I'm finished composing the track.

Yep. Thanks. Perhaps introducing your work as such from the start would have made it less arguable, left alone selling it. But hell, who am I to tell you what to do? In any case, I hope you'll succeed at mastering the tool and expressing what you have in mind.

Oh. Well, think of what I do as a learning experience in action. I'm learning of what LSDJ can do and how I can manipulate it to do what I want it to do. Every day I found out some technique I hadn't learned before (or hadn't known how to do before). So you can think of my output as an open learning process.

Also, I try to focus on melody.

Does that answer your question?

Well, you seem like a really nice guy and reading my message again, I feel bad for getting my teeth out so quick. See, much of today's music is so lazy in the making compared to the efforts that go towards self-promotion, I can't help but turn red.

I didn't mean to establish a final judgement on what you do. I'm just puzzled by your approach to music and wish someone could explain what I'm missing.

Eucaryote: We all have our favorites. I understand your criticism, seeing as I am my own worst critic.

Falling For a Square: Thanks!

I dig it.
well done.

So yeh, I listen to lots of music. Actively. Love it, and nearly live for it. My ears have been dragged here and there, and I can embrace the darkest, the freest, the loudest all the way to the gayest, poppiest and ababcbiest...  As I hunt for more and more musics, I come here once in a while to check if there's anything new on the chippy front, and I here I am, forcing myself to listen to your whole thing, and forcing myself to believe there was a real intent behind making it because you seem desperate for having an audience. But I just don't get it. Your tracks are like samples, or rather, parts of songs - incomplete and simplistic. Yet, you manage to believe in your music so strongly that you hired the crème of the community to contribute to your work. Seeing the amount of blabla and the multiplicity of ways in which you're attempting to sell your rather skeletal work, I'm tempted to think you're being ironic. Or perhaps, it's something so deep I don't get it. And the feeling gets worse as I read this review of your album on Original Sound Version you've posted - what? How did you get this guy to post-rationalize your entire album?

I don't bite that 'minimalist' approach, and I don't bite the over-intellectualization of your music. Sorry if I come across as being harsh, but I wouldn't react if it weren't for the over-selling. And again, I might be wrong in not seeing what's truly there.

Necroupdate, but important necroupdate:

For the month of May (i.e., Blip Month), The Album is $2 minimum. Also, All songs are $0 minimum, except "Waltzing Matilda". Enjoy!

Also, Patrick Gann of Original Sound Version reviewed my album.

Link to album

Update: Remember when I said the deal on the album being $5 ending on Feb 1st? Well, as luck would have it, the phone and internet service at my household was lost on Mon, Jan. 30. I just got it back today. In the spirit of generosity, I will leave the $5 minimum price tag up there until Saturday, Feb. 4 at 7:00PM EST. Then the prices return to normal.

Update: This album is available on iTunes: http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/the-af … d496562338

Just for you, I'll make the minimum $5! This deal ends on February 1st.

Love the acceptance speech style credits for the album. Wahaha!

Also, since when did Sabrepulse become a mastering engineer? Brah's got some mad skills innit!

Nice release boi!

EDIT: Ain't worth $8 though

To each one's own. Thanks for your input! I appreciate it!

It's okay. Probably a bit too slow and repetitive for my tastes...But that's just my opinion.

This.
