Colours of Music EP!

Posted by WritersBlock Mar. 24, 2008 @ 12:40 AM EDT

I had begun working on an electronica album a little while ago, a few songs were made, some were below the standards I had set, and so I've put it on the shelf again for the time being. But I still felt like putting together a collection of some sort, just to showcase my best stuff. That turned out to be 7 tracks over the last 4 months out of almost 100 tracks and around about a year playing around with musical composition.
So, anyway, I got together these songs, overall lasting about 20 minutes, and I don't have a name for the EP. The tracklisting is below, and any serious suggestions are appreciated. I don't have a huge status, so I doubt I'll generate any interest, but it's just for my own personal gain, really, a bit of fun, I'm doing what I love, and if people want to listen to these songs, which I personally consider to be my best to date, despite them still requiring touching up, it's just something that you can listen to for free, there's a bit of a variety, classical, jazz, chiptune, techno, so it's pretty diverse.
Tracklisting (+ links):
After the Fallout (2:20)
Astronaut's Waltz (2:44)
Eternal Train (2:29)
I Like to Hit Things (3:58)
Interlude (1:56)
Man in the Smoking Mirror (5:00)
Winter Division (3:47) Note: The link goes to a song titled: =Snowboard Kids: Hidden Track=, it's the same song, I just didn't get around to changing the title...
So, anyone who happens to wander into my page, these are my personal recommendations for listening to my music.
Also, my Beginner Musician's Tutorial is still in the works, if you want to see information about that.

Cheers.

WB

Edit: Title found! In NMM's comment.
Cover art contains a friendly newgrounds face (or is it faic?)

Edit2: I've got it up on LastFM
I have a LastFM page.

Why not what you had in mind before? Wasn't it "Colors of Music" or something?

Mar. 24, 2008 | 1:18 AM WritersBlock responds:

No... it was spelled "ColoUrs", silly American. =P
And, yeah, why not. "Colours of Music EP" it is.


Mar. 24, 2008 | 1:24 PM knuxrouge says:

Some really good songs there.
Best of luck.
Just a suggestion, why don't you make some songs spcifically for the EP and use the older ones as bonus tracks.
Just a thought...

That's an interesting suggestion, but this is just a random little thing that I just did for fun. Maybe if I go in a more professional direction, I could offer EP specific tracks, but my exposure is too little to attract a lot of attention with exclusives. I'm going to try and upload it to LastFM though, see if anyone there'll listen to it.

You spelled "was" wrong. Silly nub.

Looking good WB. I'm pretty impressed by the progress you've made. I'm tired as an aborted fetus right now, i'll give you some real insight later *at least where I can :D!*

Mar. 25, 2008 | 7:11 PM WritersBlock responds:

Cool, thanks MR. Just the other day I was looking back on the reviews you left me for the CC comp all those months ago... I'm glad to say that now I know what "reverb" is now. =D


Mar. 25, 2008 | 7:29 PM MaestroRage says:

*clap*...

i'm not going to have to explain delay am I :D!!?!??!

Mar. 26, 2008 | 4:34 AM WritersBlock responds:

No, you don't have to tell me that delay is that knob that adjusts the volume.

Mar. 27, 2008 | 1:21 AM Suspended-3rd-Chord says:

what is volume?

Mar. 27, 2008 | 7:27 PM WritersBlock responds:

volume is that thing that makes your music play backwards.


Mar. 27, 2008 | 4:57 PM Dks60 says:

what it is ?

Mar. 27, 2008 | 7:27 PM WritersBlock responds:

what is it?


Apr. 1, 2008 | 1:41 AM Suspended-3rd-Chord says:

hows the tutorial comin along?

Apr. 1, 2008 | 8:56 AM WritersBlock responds:

It's getting there, the main features for the main sections are done, I just need to get the information in there and put in all the other tuts, and the rest is pretty basic. I'll probably upload a template quite soon so that you can see how it's all set out, check that the buttons and stuff work.

check out my page

Apr. 1, 2008 | 9:05 AM WritersBlock responds:

I did, and it dissapointed me...
Favourite music: Mika, a bunch of comedians (not to say they're bad or anything), and Stronger, by Kanye West. He butchered a great song by Daft Punk. And anticipating Superhero Movie... that's poor taste. I'm regretting taking your advice and checking out your page...
Don't spam my blog plz.
