So, for the last 5 months or so I’ve been working on the soundtrack of Momodora II, released earlier this week. During the entire process I created approximately fifty different songs and I think the work myself and rdein put into figuring out the correct sound shows in the end product. Of those fifty songs, twelve made it into the game, and alongside those twelve, we’ve handpicked eight other songs that we found interesting or cool in some way. So yeah, hope you enjoy, and more Elektrobear stuff coming sometime in the future!
So here I am, uploading things all around, getting stuff set up etc etc. I wanted to make this short blogpost to tell you about gogoyoko.com. More specifically, my page on gogoyoko.com where I’ll be putting up the album as well and selling it for 10 dollars. Now I know some of you are thinking, “What, isn’t this free?”
Well, yeah, it is.
The Gogoyoko upload is more like a way for people to support me with money if they want to. If you think I’m an awesome person and have some spare cash to throw around, buying the album over there or in other places where it’ll eventually be put down is a great way to help me out. Also, 50% goes directly to charity so that’s cool as well.
So.. Around October I went to this huge slump in generally caring about things. Shame really, I was getting pumped up about releasing this album I’ve been sitting on for almost a year now. The music player I use on the site broke, and I couldn’t find a way to fix it so I just sort of whimpered away, and redirected some effort into fixing up my myspace page and other things. Also, during a computer wipe, I accidentally copied the wrong projects folder, so I lost everything I’d worked on since early last year.
Bummer.
So I’ve taken this time to contemplate my life. I’ve considered quitting. I’ve considered not quitting. I’ve even considered becoming a professional j-bieb impersonator. Anyway.. The original plan was to do this countdown thing. Post a song every day for 30 days until the release of the album. These songs are considered by me to be B-sides, or even C-sides. They are in no way indicative of the quality of the music I produce. Okay.. That’s a lie. These songs are in some way representatives of the dark weird and twisted side that no one ever sees. It’s that side that makes you write a song about masturbation, record vocals, and then think that it’s a good idea to post it on the internet.
Thank god no one actually looks at this site.
Oh, hey there, person reading this. Also hey parents and or other family members that may or may not be reading this right now. I was in a really weird mood okay, and it turns out singing about your shotgun is really fun.
Okay.
Here’s the new plan. I’m releasing an album. Someday. It’s as finished as it will ever get, because I killed all the project files. Really, the only thing standing in my way right now is the cover artwork I don’t have. Still though, I’m diligently working on reinventing myself as an artist through using even more pianos!
