I've done up my artwork! It's nice and bodacious. Are we all gonna split on one album? Just curious.

Still up for more people? I'm not that close regarding distance, but if we're just using the internets and all...

I'll have a go at it!

Gonna be there on the 26th! Road trip lets goooooooo

I'm working on a pixel typeface called robot_neighbors (if you click on it, the ugly anti-aliasing goes away).

Also another setting for a typeface (I like making them).

I like to find a nice chord progression first, then I lay it out with a nice trance pluck synth and a simple dance beat in my DAW, I find it helps to get the thoughts moving, having at least something of a song fleshed out. FL Studio has a really solid piano roll, so it's easy to see the notes that fit in the progression and lay new ones on top of what's already there. I start with quarter notes and move them around and something usually catches my ear. From there it's a simple matter of porting the notes from FL to LSDJ.

I think everyone has their own methods of inspiration, it's just a matter of finding your own or what others do that works well for you.

edit: I forgot to mention, usually when I find a really amped melody that I could listen to forever, I'll strip it down, and build the song backwards off of that. So I'll remove notes from it, or only use the first bit of it, take out the bass, slow down the drums until I've reached the beginning.
