New post to Photoness!
A brief explanation:
I want to communicate what I am working on since I am becoming less and less frequent in uploading music (and YouTube content but that's not for here). So that's what this section is about!
The Test (Extended Edition)
So with the beginning of my 'The Meaning Behind' series on Substack, I mentioned when talking about my song 'Something's Out There' for the EP 'The Test' about how I could have done a little more with the feeling of it. Actually, with the song in general. The Test was a brief idea and I go into better detail on Substack but for a little bit now, I've wanted to expand upon that idea.
So that's what I'm doing, and this will probably be the only 'Current Projects' section that has an un-blurred cover. You're welcome! :)
Album Incoming??
Yes you read that right! An album! Considering the other two aren't coming around any time soon, I thought I'd get a head-start on a purely cinematic collection. All new stuff, no repeats!
Again with the secrecy, it's not quite ready to be released (I haven't actually started yet as of writing this haha) and there is no planned release date, but there will be teasers on the discord and other socials so go follow those!
Unnamed Album/EP 1
So as to not reveal too much information since this is a VERY new project, I am creating an album; but not in the same genre as anything I have done before.
Since I started making and releasing music, I've wanted to create something in a heavier genre since that is pretty much all I listened to when I started. I've since widened my listening variety but I still feel like my goal(s) should be around a heavier genre, so that's where this collection will go!
There is currently no planned release date for this since recording and mixing this sort of genre takes time.
Unnamed Album/EP 2
Again, a very new project so I won't reveal too much but it will be in a similar genre to the one above.
I love making music with a piano and I've wanted to do more with piano sounds recently so I've been practicing like with any other instrument and seeing what I can make with it. This will be a slightly shorter collection than the one above but it's definitely in the works.
There is currently no planned release date for this.
The Patreon idea is very simple.
I recently found out that you can livestream to this website but put it behind your own paywall. I want to do that, but it got me thinking: "What would I stream there?" and "Would I ever actually use it?".
The answer to both is yes. Eventually. You see, I use Twitch to stream gameplay either solo or with friends as sort of a side-hussle (I'm not a full-time streamer) and I thought to myself "I want to do more music streams" and then the idea hit me:
Stream Making The Music I'm Gonna Upload Eventually™
So that is what I will use the not-yet-made Patreon site for in the future!
With me slowly but surely getting back into writing, I would at some point in the future like to get back into writing actual stories. Maybe not full-on books but maybe like a chapter a month based around an idea that I would come up with. My writing skills are zero-to-none which is why, when attempting this sort of project in the past, it all went down the drain very quickly. That and motivation and inspiration issues. But it's something I would like to pursue and I would probably use the ol' reliable Substack to publish this. I do want to gain a little something from that sort of project though so maybe (and this idea is just coming to me now as I am writing this) I write one chapter that is completely free to the world so as to give people a taster, and then charge for the rest of it. I'm not sure what the least amount I can charge people on Substack is but I'm sure I'll find out eventually. I don't want to charge people too much because my writing would probably not be too professionally done.
This is only a small idea at the moment, who knows if I'll put this into fruition if at all but thought I'd share anyway!
