I’m not 100% sure what I will ultimately use to manage my music projects and share that process, but Trello isn’t cutting it for me, as evidenced by the fact that I’ve taken to using a physical white board and/or scraps of paper again instead. I may also give up on Trello for organizing albums. A lot of my Vocaloid community colleagues have indicated that they would love to see streams of me tuning the Vocaloids, so if I can figure out an effective way to set that up I will! It was a fun test, but ultimately off brand.
So, some updates regarding my previous post: I am no longer streaming Final Fantasy. He is also working on art for several single releases, so everything is on track (ha!) for releasing when the music is finished. Here is some awesome cover art by Space Robinhood, which I commissioned. At this point I am shooting for a roughly late June or early July release, which seems totally doable unless ‘life’ happens, heh… Not only that, we have pretty close to finished tracks (mostly waiting on final tuned vocal tracks from me) on well over half of the album! The album will feature Luka, of course, as well as Avanna and Dex from Zero-G. Not a lot of time to write this up because we are in the middle of painting the studio in preparation for moving stuff in, which is slated to happen at the end of the month:īut in the meantime, I am nearly done composing my next album, tentatively titled ‘OMNIVERSE’. Oh, and also Kirby, without whom I would still be able to find socks. I’d like to give a quick shout out to all of the people who helped make this (and the soon-to-be-released album) happen: Space Robinhood for his awesome art, The Human Human Studios in Portland, Oregon, for his outstanding production work, support from Nathan Miller, Andrew & Michelle Haws, Stephen & Elizabeth Pate, my mom & brother, the folks on various Vocaloid groups and the Vocaloid Amino, and my local support team, Ann & her parents. She is probably embraced more by the English VOCALOID producers than most other Japanese VOCALOIDs, and so it seemed quite appropriate to me that she sing this song. I feel like Luka lives in two worlds, being a primarily Japanese VOCALOID who also must sing in English when needed. I still feel that way sometimes, and I think maybe that’s just something people feel from time to time, and I hope this song captures it well. I felt like I was presenting a different face to the world than the person I actually am inside. I was also struggling a lot with some very deep identity issues.
Despite having done well and accomplishing a lot, I felt like I really hadn’t learned what I set out to learn, and it definitely had nothing to do with who I am as a person, or my long-term goals. in business administration, and feeling very lost. I wrote this track shortly after graduating with a B.S. I’m thrilled to have you listen wherever is convenient, cost effective, or just preferential to you, but if it doesn’t make any difference to you, please consider giving Bandcamp a try!Įnjoy the album, let me know what you think! They give me the biggest share of the profits, deliver that money to me the fastest, and give you the best quality product (or at least the choice, since you can stream or get MP3s from them if you want to) of any service. Videos go up on YouTube hours before I start announcing them or blogging about them, and Bandcamp has actually had the album live and available for sale since Friday, because I upload directly to them, instead of going through a distribution service like I do for the more popular services.Īnd while I’m on the subject, sometimes people ask me if I have a preference regarding which service they purchase/stream from, and that’s an easy answer: Bandcamp. The numbers help, but also, these are usually the places things will show up first. I realize that Vocaloid is new for a lot of people, and I’m more than happy to share what I’ve experienced in my limited time working with this fascinating technology.Īlso, subscribe to things! Especially YouTube and Bandcamp. Comment on the things you like, and even things you don’t like! Ask me questions so I know what you’re interested in learning about.
So, obviously I want to get this music into as many ears as possible, so please like and share, but also let’s get some conversations going. For now, let’s just get directly to the music! Over the next month or two I plan to share more background information, release a few more single versions, and create more promotional materials like lyric videos.
