New split album with K.H.D. released and stuff
The new hard core album we did is called 'Suspended in the Infinite Gabber Space' and you can check it out here! The both of us continue to increase in skill as we digress from the rusty hard core mold. For some reason I kept typing only 'The Infinite Gabber Space' while tagging it and linking to it. Looots of back tracking ensued}=<\ I kept catching the mistake only to immediately make it again else where. Oh well. It's all square now (I think). I spent possibly six hours today on the Suspended in the Infinite Gabber Space's cover art, learning how to draw and texture a semi-believably 3D looking environment around photos of Kyat and I that were filtered to blend in to the scenery. Learning on the spot is fun when you do it right the first time!
The "O" sound track, comprised of pseudo-MIDI instruments reminiscent of SNES RPGs playing tunes also reminding you of SNES RPGs, is nearly complete. Thirty two tracks are finished with eight original tracks yet to go. I am also doing some Red Ankh heavy metal covers of some of the battle music, but I'm not sure how many of those I will do (I want to do all eight of them). Writing short but complicated theme pieces is quite different from what I'm used to, which is writing long and complicated pieces that don't necessarily fit any one particular mood. Trying to imagine what seasons sound like was especially interesting, but I've been told that I nailed it.
What's possibly more exciting than releasing a new gabber album with K.H.D. that breaks down new boundaries of the genre, learning new Photoshop techniques, and being so close to finishing "O"'s sound track is the fact that after ten months my girl friend is moving back home from Kentucky. You might not care, but that's very good for me}=<)> That also means that there's less than a week until my bestest sparring buddy and the all around coolest guy ever (second to missef!) visits practically one year after his last visit from Oregon. I've been training the endurance of my grip, fore arms, and shins in anticipation (but not as much as I should be), which reminds me-
Polypropylene training weapons have my official stamp of approval. The idea that you can mold a nearly indestructible (versus smashing damage) material in to virtually any shape imaginable is outstanding. I now have a collection of one hand and a half sword, two arming swords, two gladius, one wakizashi, and two combat hatchets. I can't wait until Cold Steel presses some hook swords! I also, using the shield that I got last year as a template, designed and constructed two new wooden shields that are four times as strong for the quarter of the price (though the leather grips on the new ones may be a bit flimsier). Colored duct tape makes for both great function and form!
...The new Deus Ex is out and for now I'm resisting playing it. I never played Oblivion because I couldn't stand the unnatural look of the animations (though I hear mods have solved most of the realism issues in that game), but I think I may have to drop every thing and play Skyrim when it comes out.
If any one likes samurai movies, I recommend you watch the last forty five minutes of 13 Assassins. Best samurai battle in film ever.All done!
