New Gear, Chiptunes, Release Date & New Ideas
Hey everyone,
I hope you're doing well out there.
Things are busy around here, as always. With the public release date of SSFPIII rapidly approaching, I've been pitching the album to various media outlets (radio, music blogs, etc.), trying to stir up a bit of buzz and interest, as one does. It's neat to see the album getting some downloads and streams of the pre-release material!
Please tell your friends/coworkers/frienemies/etc. about the album and release! I'm eternally grateful for every new set of ears that gets to hear this weird thing I do. Here's a quick shareable link:
Album release is November 5. Thanks! It really helps get the word out. :)
As you may have seen by now, I'm also working on an 8-bit/chiptune version of the entire album! It's basically like doing 95% of the work of the album all over again, in a different style. Haha! I'm nothing if not ambitious, I guess.
During the making of SSFPIII, I decided to do this chiptune version and - despite already owning this contraption...
...convinced myself I need another 8-bit gadget.
Don't judge me! It's cool.
Anyway, the downside is, despite pulling the trigger on this, back in July, the gadget immediately went on backorder til October, and has been pushed back further, now, to November. (｡╯︵╰｡)
I still hope to do some stuff done on the 8bit Warps, when it comes, but I got impatient, and just started working out chiptune versions of everyone's song. My hope is to get the final product professionally mixed and mastered for a winter/spring 2022 release. Updates to come, of course.
Finally, I've got a couple new projects I'd like to get moving. I'm focusing on the chiptune thing for now, but I've been thinking of the next SSFP project already, as well as a more normal/traditional album thing, a musical board game project, a tik tok project, soundcloud project, etc., etc. Always lots of stuff on the back burner. Not 100% sure where my focus will land next, but I'm excited to dig into some new projects!
OK, that's probably TLDR at this point, so I'll leave it at that.
Keep listening to interesting music, and reach out anytime!
