Busy doesn’t only vaguely describes my schedule lately. Pulling 12 hour shifts, reaching overtime, and sleeping. I finally have my computer running online again. My laptop is completely dead. I have my music software re-installed so I can start to create music again 😀 That will be refreshing I’ve had a long hiatus, longer than I wanted it to be.
The thing that’s been taking up most of my time and what I’m hugely addicted to is this website plug.dj
Persona holds a huge place in my life. My favorite video games all fall into the Shin Megami Tensei series. And as you all know I have 3 Volumes of music dedicated to those games. Now this website lets me play my music as well as my fav tracks from that game. And I’ve created quite the fan base through it. My likes on Facebook have jumped and the Lobby I created on plug.dj is The Velvet Room. It’s become so popular amongst Persona fans that I created it’s own Facebook page as well.
I try to play in it nightly but I also have an assistant Theo that DJs for me when I’m not there. My user on there is Crimzen, of course 😉 If you ever have the time check it out! You can see when the Lobby is open by just going to it here: http://www.plug.dj/the-velvet-room/ or liking the Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/TheVelvetRoomLobby
Also I’m hoping to play a set soon with my fellow musician friend XandrosUltima, no official date has been set yet. But when it happens we will rock your socks off for sure 🙂 Just a quick update.
Oh yes, the new Machinae Supremacy album is DONE, waiting on album art and all the finalization thingys. And work has OFFICIALLY begun on Persona 5, W00T for the awesomeness!
I’m hoping that soon I’ll have some more free time to flesh out everything I have going on. As of right now one project is completed and ready for publishing! In The Shadows Volume 4 is about to come out soon. Nyarko will be providing art just like he did to revamp my other 3 Volumes. It’s going to be awesome.
Now another thing that’s brewing. Remember that Persona/Shin Megami Tensei story I was working on. I want to turn that in to graphic novel and I think Nyarko will help me with that. I’m going to be working on the story and coming up with base (crappy) sketches. And then Nyarko will be making the awesome complete panels! I’m stoked and I hope this can work!
My job is going awesomely and I’m liking it a lot so far. I will update soon!
I thought I found another cool forum to lurk around and enjoy but now I am totally done with it. Besides logging in to PM certain people I’ve met on there. For some reason I’m blocked from posting in the forum anymore? What the hell? What did I do? It really sucks. That and every time I posted in the forum I seemed to be overlooked and or berated for what I said. I don’t blame ATLUS, I’m still Faithful, but I’m fed up with their forums.
I have so many ideas floating through my brain. I’ve got some great songs coming even after the release of Volume 3. Those familiar with the Persona games and it’s music should know of the Reincarnation OSTs. So I’m doing that of sorts. I already have a new track I Won’t Let You Die Alone. I’m really stoked about this Reincarnation album. Also the fact that I’d really like to push forward with my Persona series idea. Fan Fiction it might be, I hope that it turns out to be worthy fan fiction, and ATLUS uses it. My goal is to one day make a Persona movie or some sort of series. Whether it be manga, anime, video game, or movie. I want to do it! Or book. Starting out with the book idea. But I’m finding a lot of talented artists online that have made some sick Persona Fan Art and I might try to contact some about any interest in collaborating on a graphic novel.
One can hope!
This series means more to me than any gaming series out there. So I am going to be putting my best into this. Hopefully putting my name in the spotlight in terms of music, media, and writing. I don’t want to give away much about my story idea. I want to keep that sort of under wraps. BUT I will give you some music that is inspiring me at the moment. I do want to take the series into my own. So besides loading you up with Persona music, I’m loading you up with music that I’d like to see used in the movie in my head 😛 Here goes:
So it’s finally here! All the tracks are finalized and in awesome FLAC format. Ready to be listened to by the masses! And it will be released tonight! At 7pm EST. If you have Facebook I’ve created an event for the launch of this album. Click the link below to join it! It’s a public even so all you need is a Facebook account:
I had an awesome time finishing up this album. I’ve had a lot of great things pop up in my life and made some extra tracks that are different, more evolved, even for me! I hope you enjoy. 😀
So having been campaigning quite a bit for Ron Paul and such I had put my music on a back burner. Totally forgetting to check things I log in to my deviant art account while looking for some cool Ron Paul art. Suddenly I see I have 58 notifications, it’s all from the Persona group I asked to join. As I’m looking through the new Persona art fans had uploaded I noticed a journal entry about Persona Fan Music. I had asked the creators of the group if they’d possibly check out my Persona inspired music and help give me a plug, well they did! And they sure gave me a huge one! Right now, for the past week, I’m sitting on more stats than I’ve ever had in a single month…or six!
That one blank page in Word Pad. Waiting to be filled with words that will tell an epic story based on Persona and the Shin Megami Tensei franchise. A story so epic that my vision is to one day turn it in to a movie to be seen by all. Controversial, epic, and enjoyable. While it may not be exactly what SMT or Persona fans will expect, it’s how I would do a Persona story set in America. Lot’s of details coming soon, let’s hope it catches the fanfic people’s attention and starts to become something amazing.
Another song that will be featured on the 3rd Volume of In The Shadows, Evoke! For anyone that’s played Persona 3 and seen how the players evoke their persona’s I hope this song captures a bit of that. Even found a great Persona audio clip to put in there. This is by far one of my favorite darker tracks in my In The Shadows series. Please Subscribe to my Channel and Like my videos please 🙂 Help me get the word out!
Just finished up Hadou’s remix! He should be getting it soon and you’ll be able to hear it on his upcoming album 🙂 To hear a bit of a preview, check out the set list below:
I’ve also got a new song to throw in to the mix. Now you should know that I’m making the 3rd Volume to my In The Shadows series and I love the way it’s coming around. Not much hype seems to be going around for this Volume, but I think it’s my favorite one, and encompasses all my styles. Here’s the new song:
