and then there's all the audio drama stuff mixed in too
voice acting, foley, various sound effects; so damn much
not to mention writing all the dialogue to begin with
and making it make sense while condensed enough that it doesn't detract too much from the music. why? why THIS vision?
oh god y'all remember that show Ridiculousness? it's not still on is it? I really hope not. I stg Rob Dyrdek was like, designed in a lab and grown to be the platonic ideal of a 2010s MTV show host. He's the Solid Snake of TV in the worst way possible.
anyways I'm gonna get better at writing music
you can't kill me
'cause I'm already inside you
new cover coming soon :)
why did I choose to be a solo prog symphonic metal artist
why did I choose one of, if not THE, most challenging metal subgenre to mix
I took one semester of music production in college
with both hard and software that I no longer have
why did I do this to myself
and why do I enjoy it so much?
-to with my mom are among my most nostalgic. Slipknot, 3 Inches of Blood, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest... all with her. I gotta see if she's still got pics from then
Ooh the Affiance shows and Warped Tour with my main friend group at the time are good memories too
I miss going to shows
I have to send a "our friendship has run its course" type of message and I'm sad and angry about how things shook out but I gotta do what I gotta do
I know it's a bad idea and only the truest sickos would listen to the whole thing but I lowkey really want to write a 4-hour prog album
I need to step up the ridiculousness of my songwriting
nothing gets me more nostalgic than thinking about all the metal festivals and shows I went to between when I was 15-25. my mom took me to Mayhem Fest in summer of '08, Metallica in Nov of that year, and so many more in the years to follow. eventually I started going on my own, but the ones I went-
once album 3 of the Seven Sisters Saga is out, I do plan on heavily remastering album 1 + lightly remastering album 2 along with the 20-minute single "Star-Crossed Warriors" while adding a few elements to make them flow into each other, which I'll then release as one huge album, so that kinda counts
