Version 2.0

Sunday Afternoon I plan to release version 2.0 of the Media Press website. I plan to add a new component called the “toolbox” which will allow you to download all the raw clips of the songs I make so you can remix them. I also plan to release a video that will show you how to easily remix the music for free. And finally I am going to start a new project called “betas” which is a place that I can put all my un-completed beats and sounds clips so people can download them and use them for remixing as well.

**Note: I have started the changes to 2.0 I updated the video and changed the “about” page to the “information” page and it now contains more articles about the site in general.**

Get your Lithium!

Lithium is finally available. I talked about it extensively in the previous post so I’ll refrain from re-stating everything, just go listen to it.

Lithium! Coming Soon

The new song titled “Lithium” will be coming out Tuesday this week. It is a little different from my usual style; it has a very synthesized tone and an overall dark feel to it. It really does seem like a soundtrack to a movie. It is more of a trance song and is awesome to listen to and be inspired by when doing other activities. The main beat was created in a cool online game called Piano Lina (see my video section). I then did some heavy editing in Garageband, it also incorporates sounds from a new program I’ve been trying out called FL Studio. Half way through I decided to try out an idea that I had awhile ago to add small imperfections in the song, so you’ll notice at several points the song will skip and come off beat; I think it really makes the song more interesting. It is a very repetitive song and really only comprises of three tracks but it is the longest song I’ve made yet, it clocks in at around 5:30. Lithium is truly a unique experience and I urge you to take a listen tomorrow.

 

(Note: I also opened up comments on the main page, please don’t make me regret doing this)

Delays

I know I haven’t updated in awhile. I have been busy finishing up the last few weeks of school. But this summer I’m going to be coming back strong with a huge array of content. I still plan to have Lithium finished sometime within this month but I don’t know how much further I’ll get than that. I have no video lined up yet but I keep bouncing ideas around in my head. I may also start a serialized fiction series on the site. New Logo?

 

Finally a real video!

I finally added a video to the video section. Its of a little flash app called Piano Lina which combines a game and making music. Its not much of a video but its a demonstration on how I plan to create my next song.

Next song

I haven’t accomplished much in the past week on account of me being very busy with school. I hope to accomplish more this weekend and with any luck the next song will be out by next weekend.

Trance?

Sorry about not updating when the song came out. I have had a really busy week so far but this weekend I should be able to get some more work done, like updating you guys. Anyways I finally released the next song for now a total of three songs. I really liked making this song because of all the different styles and instruments packed into one song. The people that have listened to the song already have described it as a “trance” kind of song. I guess the next song will head further into trance beats and feels. Truth be told I haven’t even started the next song yet but I plan to this weekend.  

New song is out!

The next song in the Haunt series is out. I will tell you a little more about what I think of the song and how I made it at a later date. Listen

More to come

The site is growing in visitors much quicker than I thought. The next song is very close to release, I will try to release it tonight. I am also on the verge of starting my first video project.

More Work

I keep getting spikes in traffic to the site its weird. In any case I’m happy for every viewer I get. This weekend I plan to stock up on energy drinks and get a lot done with the next song. I’ll keep you posted on my progress. Also I put up my computer on Craigslist
