This is C418

Hm. I always thought about this. I release music for years and never had proper advertising or a group of people that would be glad I’d release stuff for them. A little closed community in which we can try some collaborations or stuff like that. I looked at netlabels on google. Most of them are not what I’d like. Sites that simply accept anything and anyone are often the case. Thats lame. Everyone wants to advertise him or herself and doesn’t have any interest in anybody. Just like Jamendo.

Hm. Well, if theres any neat netlabel reading this, you could write something in the comments and I might think about you.

I will be starting working on Minecraft as much as I can on friday evening for one week straight. Promise!

This one here is still in, uh, development.

I’m releasing a surprise album very soon!

The last one was a bit complex, I think. Well, not really. I mean Bushes and Marshmallows. A Cobblers Tee Thug is just stupid people having fun.

This one won’t be complex. Basically, what I’m doing now is using the sound effects I made for Ludum Dare 16 and try to make a small or maybe big album out of it. The first 6 minutes I created today were pretty charming, I think. So I decided to roll with it. I have made quite a lot of sound files, so I guess it’s way enough to fill an album.

Unusual approach also. I never had premade stuff I rely on before.

Okay, now, back to work.

I think I will ignore most of the criticism I received for the music I did. But I guess I will think about some ideas people brought up. The biggest problem everyone seems to have are the pauses between songs. They were never intended to be so empty and sound-free as we originally wanted to have some ambient noise like natural forest sounds. We probably eventually will, but now there is nothing but footsteps. I think after next week, the sound will procedurally change from time to time, as I will invest as much time as I can into Minecraft. I will listen to the biggest problems people have, but there are too many individual issues here and there, so I will most certainly not please every single person on earth. I can live with that though.

Okay now, what will the music sound like?

Probably similar.

Probably less slow.

Probably with more rhythm.

Probably a tad less depressing.

Probably looped.

Probably fitting to current themes. Hell?

Probably only with Notch’s approval before I put stuff online.

Probably will take a while. Before I release anything and show anything to anyone, I want the music to sound good. I personally want to feel it is right to release what I do. So I think I will take my time.

I should get back working on this. Like right now.

This collaboration album with smn was made in the last week of december 2009. And it’s most definitely not quality work. Some songs really suck I think. But I also think that some are cool and worth alone the painful listen. Okay, now.

You can download the album here as mp3.

FLAC? Here.

I guess I’ll upload this to bandcamp and other stuff. But not today. Tired.

After the break there’s some preview players. 12 exactly. Because right now I’m too lazy to find out how to combine it into one player. It’s low bitrate mp3 though.

Sunshine.

Kyle Gabler Game. Good one. Although I never get beyond 330 or so.
