So some bits and bobs I’ve either been working on or been a part of have become available for your eyes and ears today.
And I thought I’d put them all in one place because all I live for is making your life easier. That and seemingly disingenuous sentiments.
I trapped a tiny version of myself in a small box and made him explain it.
This was something I made exactly a year ago today. I’d only just joined YouTube properly at the time.
My vlogging capabilities have improved exactly 6.3% since then. If that.
It was titled “On ‘Not Caring’ and Why You Should Do A 365 Project”, which I don’t necessarily agree with any more.
This is the song I ended up with that day.
I think I kind of agree with my past self about some of the stuff he was talking about, but he seems to also be talking a lot of nonsense as well. Keep your wits about you. Read the rest of this entry
I haven’t posted here in a while. Unfortunately I haven’t got all that much to say, though. Except for this – I’m flying to America tomorrow and travelling about to a few places there for 3 weeks!
Here are a couple of new songs I’ve written recently.
“Heavy”
“Buried”
I’ve been picked to play at the VidCon Open Mic thing they do. If you’re going you can see the schedule here: http://dft.ba/-vidconopenmic
If you’re not going then you can also see the schedule at that link, it’s just probably not as relevant to you.
“Heavy” can be found on the “Other Songs And Demos” EP at my Bandcamp along with a bunch of other songs.
And I reckon that’ll do for updates for now.
I’m off to America for 3 weeks now. Bye!
This is a culmination of a bunch of stuff I’ve been thinking about when it comes to how I seem to write songs, some of which ended up in this ridiculously long blog post about rhythm and things. A lot of this is stuff I just do, rather than being stuff I think about the whole time.
I’ve gone for 8 main ‘tips’. There will be, of course, plenty of other tips that plenty of other people might have. And some of my tips may not make sense or work for you, but this is just some stuff that’s worked for me so far. I’d love to hear how you go about writing songs (or fiction or poems or anything else for that matter) so that I can steal your process from you.
So I’m releasing my EP, Out Of Here, this weekend (7th of April 2012 at around lunchtime, to be precise) and I thought that if I’m going to all the effort of making the thing I might as well promote it in a kind of shameless giveaway competition thing.
