an update.

Mon, 13 May 2013 13:19:03 -0400

haven’t posted much lately due to work and other things.

things are clearing up however so hopefully more will appear here soon.

that said, i’ve got a few updates re: my music [neon shudder]

1.) EP 2 is looking at an mid-to-end-of-june release date. roughly 4-6 songs plus some extras.

2.) ‘cold grey sky’ - an old track/bonus from the signal.run ep was featured in a student piece currently on display at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts here in Philadelphia. it’s in an animated short titled “exit.”

3.) i’ve recently been contacted by a photographer/director who would like to feature neon shudder in a few of there works. nothing solid yet but i’ll post when i know more.

4.) the first neon shudder LP. i have not begun work on this yet but it will be a full album of at least 9-10 songs. the first EP had a bit of a retro-80s feel and the 2nd EP is a bit of an evolution of that. a bit different. the LP would be the next step.

with regards to an LP - it will be released digitally but i am contemplating a small scale kickstarter that would consists of only TWO things:

$15: get a USB drive w/ signal.run EP, EP# 2, and the full album + some bonuses (other songs, art, etc)
$100: USB drive + a custom original song for you (for whatever, your project, a collaboration, up to you, i’m flexible)

This is all tentative but it’s generally what I’m looking at going forward with this. Any feedback or ideas are welcome.

Is anyone out there legitimately into this? Take off the glasses for a second and ask yourself if you actually enjoy this game. I thought that maybe the 80s cyberpunk b-movie feel might be entertaining and for about 5 minutes it was before I got bludgeoned with bad gameplay and awful mechanics and a save system that can be aptly described as garbage. I’m 20 or so minutes in and relying on auto-saves that only complete after an entire “mission” is finished. So, if I wish to continue, I have to sneak past dragons and liberate that facility again because someone is awful at making video games. Fantastic. No thank you.

[Impostor Syndrome]

feeling this pretty frequently as of late.

wondering how i have the job that i do or why people like things i make. i don’t feel skilled or original or interesting or intelligent.

someone posted an excerpt of neil gaiman’s fantastic uarts commencement speech [down below] and it helped to some extent.

with the rut i’ve been in i want to get back to making music. i want to draw and write and do all sorts of things. even if i feel like it’s awful.

one of my favorite quotes is from graphic designer stefan sagmeister:

“complaining is silly either act or forget”

it’s not always easy to stick with that. with social media and quick access to eyes and ears it’s far easier to rant and rave and i’ve done it plenty. it alleviates some of the frustrations but ultimately doesn’t do any good.

so i’ll try and stick with it.

i’ll get back on that new EP and finally start reading up on typography and design again.

and who knows, maybe i won’t feel like a fraud.

Friends were driving between Nevada and Arizona and had my music on. The experience was described as trippy - such that they got freaked out and had to turn it off.

Good.

Anyone following knows the deal by now.

At this point what I am hoping for is that you complete MGSV: Phantom Pain and the ending shows Big Boss eventually establishing himself and his base you encounter in NES’s “metal gear”. Credits roll. MGSV logo pops up…

Didn’t know about the twist re: Big Boss being your codec contact, but there’s no real say re: timeline over the course of the game. It’s been pointed out this coma doesn’t even line up with the one in which the twin snakes were created. There’s some discrepancies or issues with how it all might connect.

I’m aware that they’d be young regardless, the implication was that the codec call would take place years later. My fault for not pointing that out.

It’s Campbell on Codec. He’s saying that Big Boss must be stopped.

Hayter replies as Snake. Set up for Metal Gear remakes.

I can dream.
