double checked on the 60x60 pixels requirement, etc. but even if I delete the image then upload a new one it goes back to weird conan image from '12.

probably going to follow my whims again. but I would like to improve at composition and get away from improvisation and randomization which has been my calling card in the past. I have a new recording setup so that is going to change things quite a bit, as well as a few new instruments I would like to incorporate. definitely going to be some live band recordings like I did a few times in 2012, gonna be more Sitari, and I'd like to work more on multi tracking and merging different musical worlds together. One project that I have been contemplating for years is Voiceprint which uses only the recorded voice to come up with sample sets for compositions. so I guess my goal is to be as scatterbrained as ever.

I have rarely used midi in the past but have been tooling around with midi in Reaper and in Ableton. other than that I think my production skills get better each year, practice practice practice.

12 EPs is like a combo of this thing I used to do called RPM Challenge, which is make an entire album in the month of February, and Weekly Beats. takes the best of both worlds, imo. I think I'll enjoy that a lot more, especially during the weeks where it just feels like I am shitting out material rather than wanting to create.

yeah some kind of page to hang out on after this is done would be really cool... whether it's a facebook group or whatever. plenty of other sites to upload stuff to.

I suppose I have an * now

I think there's an art to ordering songs on an album, I like to order them using my instinct then see if they flow well together... then I get ideas for flow and rearrange so that there's a logical transition (i.e. songs that have similar endings to beginnings of next song)

I know this is lame, but I've been living in a rural area the past couple months and internet went down when I was going to upload again. i'll understand if I'm disqualified but I did have a nice guitar track prepared to upload on time.
