So, a while back I posted about not being able to write anything and here I am, releasing an album. I started going to the open mics here in town and find myself writing a little more, and a little more laid back. But I have been meaning to get this out there for a while. This is Manifold, an album with respect to parallels and alternate realities. It makes a strong mention of the ambiguity of being an individual. I didn't write nearly as much as I did for my last album. So here it is. 5 songs. 4 of which I have made available on soundcloud, and one which can be found nowhere else. I hope you enjoy it.

Oh. It's free, like all my music.

I don't know how well you guys know me, but I've been making chiptune for about 3 years now. I moved to college in August. I was diagnosed with ADHD in the 1st grade and I was on Concerta, basically Ritalin, since then. Before I moved to college, my doctor found out that my medication was raising my blood pressure and had me switch to Bupropion, which is an antidepressant that has been shown to combat the symptoms of ADHD. All this being said, I can't write music anymore. It could be the medication, the fact that I'm in college, or that I have no time. Maybe a combination. All I know is that when I try to write, I get about 4 rows down (LSDJ) and then I tell myself the song is going nowhere and give up. I delete it.

Am I done? Like, will I permanently not be able to write?

To give you an idea, I feel like I totally write different when I was on my old medication as opposed to no medication and my new medication. Razbliuto was written on Bupropion, Circuit Board City, Liquidation Isolation, and Those Bare Bones were all written without medication and all the other songs were written on Concerta.

Again, am I just going through a phase, or am I done writing forever?

So, I move to college in less than a week, unless something wildly unexpected happens, I'll be in the BloNo area for the next four years.
I'm hoping to get into a lot of shows and whatnot, but it would be a pleasant surprise if there was another chipmusician in the area.

If I end up having a lot of time (unlikely), I'll probably try to assemble shows myself, and any chipdudes in the area would be welcome to play.

(I have searched vigorously for anyone in or around BloNo, but I haven't found anyone, so this is like my last resort.)

I have little knowledge of how the insides of the gameboy work, but I was wondering if instead of just wiring an LED behind the speaker grill in a DMG, it would be possible to take ou the speaker and wire an LED onto the speaker's wires. I get the feeling this wouldn't work either the way I imagine or at all, but has anyone tried?
