May 4, 2014 - Introduction
Hey Everyone!
I've been working on my solo album vigorously and decided to set up this master thread! There are links to each of my social networks here, as well as a blog of mine that I will update until album release!
At this point I'm pretty much done with 2 of the singles. These include Sad Clown and The 7ths. Hopefully I can continue my progress and finish the album by the end of this year!
I have multiple studio times this week, and everyone's on edge at school because of finals. I'll keep you guys posted on how that is going on Skype and so on.
I'm also thinking of making a music video for one of my songs, so I created a formal YouTube channel. Be sure to subscribe!
Thanks,
John

Ello Everybody! I have been working on and off at times I'm available! I have finals coming up, so I haven't had much time to record. I've been coming up with a bunch of awesome ideas though, as you can see from my Test Track 1. You see, I've been experimenting with the sounds that instruments make. The humming in Test Track 1 is actually an ocarina I got at a convention a few months ago! Cool huh? I've been working with all sorts of instruments to create new, beautiful sounds for you to enjoy. I've also been coming up with ideas for music videos. They're very abstract, but could bring in a huge fan base if done correctly! Stay Frosty, John May 27, 2014 - Making Room Heyo Guys! This past week, me and a few friends have been cleaning out the basement and now have a surplus of empty rooms, so I'll be recording a video in one of them! I can't wait to start the video project I have planned this upcoming weekend! Hopefully you guys are as excited as I am! I've been finding obscure instruments to use for the project too, and have found some nice editing tricks to make it sound cool! Shine Bright Like a Diamond, John

June 14, 2014 - Traveling & Stuff
Eyo People! I've been traveling for inspiration the past couple weeks! I drove down to North Carolina and flew up to New York for a few days. Right now I'm in North Carolina again, and the whole trip I've been taking photos to use for artwork! I've also gotten a lot of inspiration from the architecture in New York! Music wise, I've been making magic happen on my guitar. Stay charming, John June 20, 2014 - Ideas & Ideas
Hello Chaps! I'm going to the beach for a couple days, so I'm sure to get a lot of motivation there. I recently released Corrupt Data on Soundcloud and I have to say it was one of the more fun tracks I've made! I'm going to start experimenting with drum beats and synths like I did in that example, so be prepared for a lot of new stuff in that regard. As far as my album, I've been working on lyrics and chord progressions for a few songs, and have been practicing guitar for the recording process! Be amazing as ever, John

July 2, 2014 - Some Collaborations
G'day Peepz! I know it's been a little while since an update, but I'm happy to say that I've got some people that have offered to help me and collaborate with me for the album. I have to say thank you to those specific people, and that if you wish to collaborate with me, I'd be happy to! I've been (still) working on chord progressions, lyrics, and melodies. I've got multiple songs to be worked on, and a lot of it is early WIP. Stay with me here, though! The album will be amazing if I work my hardest on it and don't rush! Happy (late) Canada day, John July 15, 2014 - Production of Transitions Hiyah bros I've been working with specific people on solo parts for parts of tracks. I need a drummer with proper recording equipment to collaborate with too, so if anyone's interested, I'd love to have some (actual) drums on the demos.
I've gotten a crazy awesome end theme together that will be a wonderful conclusion to the album. There's so much to do, and it's gonna be a hell of a ride!
Have a g'day,
John

August 5, 2014 - DavidKMusic Collaborations
Heyo! Me and my good friend DavidKMusic have made a few collaboration songs that you should check out on both my SoundCloud and @DavidKMusic! There's one experimental track, and one WIP piece that will soothe the ear. As far as the album goes, I am working hard on each bit and will have 7 songs on the final release. I am about 2/7 of the way done (just for you statistics geeks). I am 95% complete writing the album, and there's almost every lyric on paper now. Stay faithful with me; I'm doing my best! Have an awesome evening,
John

October 13, 2014 - #649987 & Update
Hey Everyone I'm sorry I haven't been very active lately but I've had school and haven't had much time this past month do much musically. I have been working here and there on new indie tracks that I will perform live, and I've been researching into music notation and composition. I've also been working on improving my skill on guitar and piano, and have updated my site's UI here. In any case, it's been a while. There is one thing for you all to check out for now; that being my new experimental track "#649987" which was a collaboration between me and Black Paths. Be sure to check it out! It's been a while, John

Hello Folks I'm not as motivated to post as much anymore because this forum is very inactive and I barely ever get replies from you guys, but I see that StreetLights is still going at it so I might as well. First things first; I have a new electronic piece out today called Star's Legacy. Be sure to check it out and tell me how it is, as this is a new approach to my music! It isn't as weird and experimental as my recent tracks have been, so don't worry! Another exciting thing is that I have a new goal for myself and new live things going on around me! I am starting to do performances live, and am doing a project with my fellow musicians to perform live at a future school concert! I'm so excited, and this is an excellent opportunity to get my name into the community! I'll keep you guys updated, John
