This made some interesting traffic.

Let me explain a little. It’s snippets of upcoming minecraft songs. About 6.

There are more than double of that amount. It’s about 45 minutes of music.

After talking with Notch, I decided that all that music is only one half of the soundtrack. The second half is maybe more similar to the original music, but shorter in song length, and not as slow or always melancholic. These songs will be event triggered.

The music in that mp3 is triggered by yourself.

Biggest complaints:

“Too upbeat” – Sheesh, like I can please everyone.

“Unfitting” – I don’t think so. It’s what every creeper would love to listen to.

“How would that work with this and that event” – As I said, these songs are triggered by yourself, so any unfitting music in certain events would have been your fault.

Thats all. Thank you for all the kind comments.

I think I am going to use flattr.

It’s a nice service that may give me some payment opportunities I don’t have with the stuff I do for free. Flattr is a service where you monthly pay a really small fee (like 2 euros a month) and give parts of your fee to stuff from people you like. Think of it as digg with money.

I guess that means I will add a few blog entries which neatly sum up the albums I created so far. Maybe someone at flattr will like it. And if nobody will even notice me, well, thats okay then I guess.

thunderbird is nice

Well, it seems like my circle album has been spread quite a bit the last week. More than I expected at least. 500 Downloads through twitter only. 50 through bandcamp. Seems like people hate bandcamp for downloading, so here’s the

CIRCLE DOWNLOAD

Also some person was actually able to find out my mail adress only to write how much he liked that soundtrack. I guess I could give the adress to all of you, in case you want to give out a few words too. Like how much I look like a hooker you know. So, the adress is…

well, “myself” (and I don’t mean “c418”)

and then theres an at

after that at, theres my blog url, c418.org

That should keep most spam-bots away.

And another thing. Someone donated to me again. Which is FUCKING AWESOME. It’s a rare thing though, like once every five months. So I thought I could give something special to donators. Like a specially made song. That means the person donating to me should get an email very soon. I hope it’s appreciated!

If this could get a regular thing, I might keep making songs and actually still release free albums if I make that much! I would like to make way more free albums, but it’s getting more and more expensive and I eventually have to sell my music for a small sum. So, donating? Free stuff for everyone! Eventually. Maybe!

Oh, that doesn’t mean you are forced to donate to me now! Donations are just a great way to help me keep stuff free! Like this server for example. You people keep hammering on it like crazy! Not cheap, haha. And then theres all this horribly extremely expensive music equipment… this is not a cheap hobby.

Hmm, well, thats all I wanted to say for now!

Having more than one sound card is a bit confusing.

Minecraft!

Oy!

Some people want to know what I’m doing on Minecraft now, but I seriously can’t tell you anything but making music. How much? I can’t tell. What kind of? Nope.

I had a few discussions with Notch depending how the music should react to the game and we got a very cool conclusion that probably will be implemented in beta or even earlier.

That’s all I tell you now.

You can ask me stuff anonymously. Now that’s interesting. Go ahead.

In the course of a week, I tried to find out what to do with an old soundtrack I did for a game. I showed it to Notch and he thought it would be good enough for minecraft even. I tried to play with the music and didn’t succeed to make it fitting to minecraft. So I scratched that thought. Now I have this little album full of music and don’t know what to do. I would simply release it online, like I usually do, but that feels sort of empty. So I searched for a netlabel and still am searching. And I guess finding one will still take most of my time. So, I have a dilemma now.

If I had fellow readers I’d ask “what do you think?” and you would write your opinions on what I should do with this soundtrack. Since I don’t have such an user base, I have absolutely no idea what to do with this one.

Excuse me, I’ll run in circles for about two hours now.

I want to be in a netlabel.

Posted in BAM

There is no label

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.
