So, we (me + family) got a call from Charley. Situation sounds miserable, but we (me + family + anime kingdom otaku sewing circle crews) are here to support her because she’s a good person and a friend. No one deserves to be told to fit in when they aren’t do anything harmful to anyone. So she’s likes anime? Too bad. Better to have a hobby where you can be constructive, artistic and creative than destructive and/or violent. I may not like fan fiction particularly, but it’s ultimately a positive outlet for energy. Certainly better than vandalism or something.
Meanwhile, my computer does seem healthy again, and this “project” did result in enough lyrics to complete the album, so I guess it’s been positive on the whole. Still wasn’t fun though. Hopefully I can get really serious about recording vocals this week and atleast get a rough cut done before I go out to Minnesota with my bro, dad and grandpa to visit relatives and old friends. More importantly, maybe I can get some sleep. Staying up to til 1am? Great. Staying up til 3-4am? No way. I need more sleep than that.
PS: I watched the PPG Movie again today on CN. I wish they still made cartoons like that. That era was fantastic. Just fantastic.

I’ve got no clue how generic filter disco is suppose to work with anything in the doujinshi, but it was fun to make. Yay for tempo syncable oscillators and delays and cheesy ready made house loops. BTW, I made this in like 3 hours, so if it sucks, too bad. It’s a goof track.
And no, this isn’t a distraction from working on the nerdcore LP, it’s random inspiration striking and me running with it. For better or worse.

So I’ll be making an OST for a doujinshi a few friends of mine are putting together for SakuraCon 2k6. Here’s one of tracks from it:
It’s glitchy and pop drum n’bass-ish at the same time. Think Aphex Twin via Outkast.

Got another track backing done with lyrics to record. I should probably get my recording on tomarrow and get some vox down on hard disk. Atleast get one track down, maybe two. Probably the title track I think it. Anyway, this gets me to ten originals. Just need one-two more (depending on how long and/or good the next track I write full lyrics and backing for is.) I’ve got bits and pieces. Hopefully, they can be shaped into something more.
