melody

easily one of my favorite tracks on the site.

mag has this way of getting better and better with each year. that trend continues with this mag being by far the most enjoyable one for me yet. among my personal highlights are: - protricity and monobrow graciously extending their room to me for the night, with no indication from me that i was planning on commuting to mag - reconnecting with everyone from years past - lukethexjesse's personality not only matching, but exceeding his irc personality - the xenotones jam session - everyone loving korean food - the earthbound papas concert - josh whelchel being awesome enough to let people smoke hooka off his balcony - the jamspace nazi with drumultima and audio fidelity - conversations had at a 5 am food run to ranch house - west coast cats raging at east coast highways - finding a solitary garian roaming magfest at 7 am on sunday morning, then going to catch the earthbound papas q&a - the q&a itself - the odyssey of finding busboys and poets, met with success this year - the cognitive meltdown brought on by chugging five hour energies with aeroz to battle con fatigue and the onset of sleepiness from staying awake for 28 hours - starla and ramaniscence saving the day by jumping my dead battery - chilling and catching up with bustatunez on the way to dulles and everything else that isn't coming to mind right now. let's definitely not wait another year to see each other again.

wow, this is fantastic work man. i'm already sold by the first track. anything reminiscent of late night adult swim bumps for me is always a winner.

hey, is anyone reading this thread who hasn't bought a pass yet? i can't make it this year so i'm trying to get rid of mine at a discounted price. paypal me 30$ and it's yours. shoot me a pm if you're interested

so incredibly psyched for this.

i didn't know owning so many things was even possible

i've heard of being influenced by yasunori mitsuda's work on chrono trigger.. but this. i mean the original. wow.

we got rap from one of our own, detective tuesday! lemme know what you think guys, op updated with the link

appreciate the love bro!

yea, i'm glad you brought that up! that was my attempt to discourage paying for the album, as a few did, before i realized that i could just disable the download link. due to an overwhelming response from my supporters, we exceeded bandcamp's monthly bandwidth cap and they are now entitled to sell the album for a 5$ minimum throughout the month of november. to circumvent this, i've uploaded the album to my mediafire account. so at the time of several purchases, the album was (and is) still available for free. permissions to use certain acappellas and samples were given to me by the artists themselves, with the understanding that my album is non-profit. the difference between a donation via paypal and naming one's price is only, and wholly, one of principle. if i were receiving income in the form of album sales i would be violating their trust. five bucks is five bucks, but in one scenario a supporter is driven by generosity while in the other scenario the same supporter would be under the impression that his or her putting forward of money is of acquisitional motivation. the difference might seem petty but are worlds apart to me. thank you all so much for your support and love. i have been a walking smile for the past two days.

thanks guys! glad to hear you were eventually won over thanks to all your support we actually demolished bandcamp's monthly bandwidth cap, so the album is now available through my mediafire. i've also made a facebook event page, so you can support me by inviting your friends! check the updated op for the links!

thank you so much bro. every time you go out of your way to write up your thoughts i am brought to my knees. really humbled, and blessed, to hear how much you all are digging this album. much love and God bless, melody/in theory

appreciate the love guys! thanks for taking a listen!

only if you teach me how to shoryuken

well i hate john petrucci! so we're even!

kenogu i fully agree with you bro, but i hope you understand that the difference between love and hate is motivation, which is reflected in one's diction, not content

even if i saw everything the way you do, i'd have wished him the best of luck and left it at that. i can't see how shooting down his aspirations amounts to anything other than haters being haters

the amount of hate in this thread is unbelievable

hey guys, not to resurrect a dead thread but i just got news that the mix passed the panel, and i owe everyone here a huge thanks for being an integral part of the process! there were a couple of weak areas that the judges graciously brought to my attention so i took it as an opportunity to re-produce the whole mix. check out the updated op for a link to the remastered mix as well as a preview of my debut album that is dropping on october 31st! much love guys, melody

let's go soc! just got my copy. really diggin the first track, as well as the backside art that looks like a shot from out of this world haha
