A year ago, I uploaded a few new songs for 4/20. I did it again this year.

I started doing it back in '20 because there were three 'twenties' in the date, and also "haha weed." Nothing for '21, but I did it for '22, and figured I'd do it again this year. Might do it again next year, and just make it an annual thing.

Here's the deal with this year's uploads. I usually work with LMMS, but the AC adapter for my laptop died and I switched over to another laptop. It's a macbook I bought like five years ago and barely used. Even after giving this macbook another chance(~2 months), I'm still not a huge fan. Anyway, I put Renoise on the thing because I wanted to see if I could figure out how to use a soundtracker. I already had a license for it, so might as well use it.

The result is the 7 tracks I uploaded today. They're a little rough, but I hope there's something there that you can get down with.

It's been one year since I joined this site. I wanted to have something for the occasion, but everything I've got going still needs work. Maybe next week. I'm gonna reflect for a second though.

First off, I just want to say that NG rules, and I've been kicking myself for not joining sooner. Loads of great people making great content in a time when I thought creativity was dying. Secondly, the 'General' section of the BBS has helped me stay sane, and never gave me too much crap if I said something dumb, so I want to send a 'thank you' out to them. I'm sure the other sections of the BBS are equally plush, but I haven't spent too much time on them. Lastly, taking part in NGUAC this year was super cool, and I want to take part in more events in the future.

Looking forward, I should probably change my name (it's dumb, and I'm not into it), and make a decent banner/avatar, but that'll come way later. Right now I'm more focused on improving music quality than image.

So I did upload some things for today. I need to go back and add descriptions later. Happy 4/20 everyone.

I put out a short, 8m40s, album 2 years ago because I wanted to do something for 4/20/2020. It's over on my soundcloud, but I wouldn't recommend it. I'm putting together something, for the same day 2 years later. Kind of a progress report. It's mostly just mixing everything at this point. So probably nothing new until then.
