About 80% complete.

Posted by WritersBlock - July 13th, 2009


My album is probably about 80% complete. It's currently at 51 minutes and 20 seconds and I've only got 2 tracks to finish composing before I go looking for vocal talent. Once that's been recorded, I'll put it into the songs and then go through them again, touching up things here and there, getting rid of flaws and making them on the whole better to listen to. It's been a while since I've posted an update on my album, so I'll recap everything:
Title: Sidechained Melody
Tracks: 11
1) The Old Man And The Sea (2:55)
2) Lighthouse Song (8:08)
3) Amber Reflections (5:19)
4) Moon Bears From Outer Space (3:34)
5) Crawl_Space (4:38)
6) Empathy (5:37)
7) Down The Rabbit Hole (7:06)
8) Barricade (4:01)
9) Refraction WIP (2:37)
10) Particle Surfer (4:46)
11) Rhapsody In Melancholia WIP (2:44)

Artwork (pending) by Lochie (aka Night-Mare)
Vocal work (pending) by ???
Might even decide to ditch the idea to have a voice actor on the album.
I'll probably post a demo of the album to Newgrounds (kind of like what went on here) so you can give it a listen here before you wander over to iTunes to buy it. ^_^

Not long now, I'd hope it'll be in the online stores somewhere within the next 2-3 months.

[EDIT] Finished Rhapsody in Melancholia. I decided to have two distinct parts to it (pretty much two different songs), one I wrote over the past few days, which has been a song I've been thinking about/trying to write over the last week or so ("Introvert") and the second half is a classical soundtrack to a short movie I worked on in my fist semester of Uni some months ago. I thought the song could hold its own as a closing piece to the album. So the album's now at 54:13 and I've just got to finish composing Refraction and I'll be onto the home stretch. I've been working on this since February, and I've got to say, it feels fantastic to be this close to completion.


Comments

those tracks have some kickass titles

Moon Bears From Outer Space is my favourite title. ;D

Someday I'll have to sit down and review all your audio.

*Someday*

That would be a good day, but I imagine a tedious day for yourself. I've got a lot of old submissions that I'd consider to be of a lower standard than that of which I aim for today.

I sense good music...

oh I wish I was good at singing...

Eh, the more I think about it, the more I feel that I could do without it. At one point I cut up a sample from a movie and played it in one of my songs, it was cool, but I felt it didn't quite hit the mark. We'll see how the songs finish up.

I don't spend money online, NO EXCEPTIONS!

Sad Faic.

maybe I will one day when i have money to burn

Yeah, I don't think I got around to online shopping until earlier this year. But to each, 6their own, I guess.

do you call him Wade Fulp or Wadolf?

only 2% of mah power!

I like lighthouses.

Well, that's just dandy. :D

Whoa, were you demodded?
