Touchstone

Merry Christmas, everyone, or if that doesn't apply, happy holidays! Just thought I'd spread a bit of holiday cheer in this album forum. And bump the project to remind those with WIPs... Anyways, that's all I've got to say!

Go right ahead!

So...for a lack of activity on this album, I am going to close recruitment, and begin to refocus on one, recollecting and finishing tracks, and two, getting the website and the art finished. Grand plans often lead to failure, so I'm going to satisfy myself with 8~9 track album. After all, any album produced by a "newbie" will break the status quo, right? Honestly, I'm actually really glad ITC has gotten this far, despite missing its original release date. And don't worry, I'm not going to get sappy on you guys. I'll leave that for the release of the album. Which will happen, I swear it. touchstone Dang, that second-to-last line sounded much more dramatic typed out than in my head.

So, one album releases, and another draws closer...hopefully soon. Sorry for the small hiatus, but I am back, and back in action. This post serves to primarily reinforce the fact that recruitment has been reopened for this album, but not for long. Anyone who is interested just needs to PM me with a link to some form of work you've done, along with a prefered game and track. I'll evaluate, and let you know if you'd be let on. Simple really, and pain-free (the latter is not garunteed ). Anyways, that's all I've got for now.

So, slight delay, but marching band is over, so I can now refocus. Unfortunately, that means dropping tracks. I have to unfortunately announce that sixto, EC2151, and Showroom Dummy have been dropped off of the list. The only reason that Supercoolmike remains is I have gotten a response from him (but still no track....). Anyways, recruitment is reopened, so any can join again, just refer to the first post. Until next bump, touchstone

Alright, 5 days 'till the deadline for track drops...and I haven't heard a single thing. I hope that changes, or else I will have to drop the red/black tracks. On another note, send me some concept art, Coop, and I'll look at it (In all honesty, you can probably do the art). And if any other artists are watching, ITC will still need more that one persons are (if you're a website designer, please take note of this sentence. Anyway's, that's my bump.

Okay, I am so so SO sorry to everyone about the silence on this album for the past few weeks. My internet went out, and I was forced to get a new provider. Luckily, that's all sorted out now, so I can resume the album. And, as you might expect, I have not received a reply as to the state of the album (believe me, I double checked my email when I got internet), so recruiting is now open!...Again! I am still working on album art and figuring out a site, but that can wait for now. Also, for those who still have red or black claimed tracks, I am unfortunately going to start dropping your claims, with the exceptions of those who have PM'ed me (you know who you are). However, this won't be instantly. The deadline for a track to get out of the black or red state, unless arrangements are made beforehand with me, is September 30th. Unlike some of my other deadlines, this one will be strictly enforced. If I do not receive a PM from you, then your claim will be dropped. It's time to get ITC moving again!

If I don't get any reply by August 20th as to the condition of the album, I will reopen registering, and aim for some time in 2016, hopefully earlier than May. As for art, I have no clue as to who to ask. Any suggestions? I did have my heart set on October 8th release, but I'd rather put this album out than X it for not meeting it. If worse comes to worse, it won't be a 30 year anniversary, but a plain old tribute album. Either way, this will be released! I swear on a stack of bibles that I will change the status quo for releases! Ah. It feels strangely relieving to say that aloud(ish). That's all I've got for now!

Well, we've kindof hit a dead spot in progression. I don't want to drop tracks until we've gotten the greenlight from the Project Board, but I have tried contacting all pople with black or red text, and other than Evktalo, I've gotten nothing. It's just a waiting game now.

So, a little bit of a dead period, but be assured, this project is not dead. I'm just waiting for the final versions of the marked tracks. If you know anyone on this list, don't be afraid to remind them of this relatively small project. As for a few, like Eino, I know that they're working on it, I'm just not sure if they're done. Also, be prepared, as I've undergone some techinical difficulties within the past year, I may need the finished tracks resubmitted. Don't fret quite yet, though. And that's all I've got for today. oh, and BUMP.

I'm interested, although I can't attest to my skills as a composer, that and I am currently busy with igNoring thE craSh. When would you need some one to start?

Yep, I got it. Lemme put it on the list...oops.

So, I've updated the list, and I am happy to see the amount of completed tracks we have. Now, I've gotten a reply from Ev, I've still got nothing left from those with unfinished tracks. If you know someone on the list, help them out, it would be great for me. However, I will be contacting them again, hopefully with results.

Sorry about that. As soon as I can get on my computer (currently on my phone), I will go through, and update the list. Don't worry Jorito, I know that yours is finished. I can just occasionally forget to do simple details (like update a list).

Okay. So, this is the big deadline. Please, PLEASE turn your tracks in. I would love to have everyone currently on the track list represented on the album. Unfortunately, I can't submit an album with half-finished tracks, so help ITC out. Turn in your tracks.

Hello everyone, yet again. It's that time, another deadline. Now, this one is INCREDIBLY important. If we're to keep on schedual, I'll need at least HALF of the WIPs to be turned in finished, or close to it. In the case that this cannot be met, ITC will press on, but I'll reserve to drop tracks if needed. I'd much rather this be turned into a smaller project than dropped completely. The dream of breaking the status quo on albums still burns strong, but I'll need all you guys' support to make it happen.

2 Days until next Deadline!

Hello all! It's that time again, and we have a deadline! I will be sending out PMs to all on the list, notifying that all songs at this point should, at least, have a WIP to them. And half of those who already do, should be finished. However, this is not an end all deadlines. Two more remain, each about a month apart. However, this is no time to be lax. With an absence of response from the project board, we need to be ready to move to offical status quick. Anyways, I'm going to get off my soapbox. Happy ReMixing!

Hey, in spirit of the new forums (which I love, BTW), here's a reminder for y'all. 3 days until next deadline!

Just a heads-up, about 20 days left until next deadline... ...and my PM box is strangely devoid of WIPs...

If you can find a cross-platform with good music, go right ahead. Just (and this goes for everyone doubling-up on tracks) remember the time restrictions. That, and I haven't heard back about official status yet...does any one know the ETA on that?

Go right ahead, just tell me the exact track, and I'll put you down. Oh, and Trev, go and ahead take the MM title you want. Just let me know so I can mark it down.

It is with regret I announce that we now are one ReMixer short. Due to various reasons, Anorax has unfortunately had to withdraw from ITC. These reasons have nothing to do with the project itself, and I am sorry to see him go, but I understand.

Okay, it's that time! supercoolmike beat me to it, but it's our first deadline! Every person on the list will be PMed by me sometime tonight, and note that this does not require your ReMix to be finished. I just want at least half of the currently claimed tracks to be moved into the blue stage, substantial WIP. Also note that we are on a hard time limit. Not having one ready by this time is no big deal, but make sure to get one done by the next deadline. After all, June will approach fast.

AMAZING! If I knew a stronger word than that without entering the realm of swearwords, I'd use that. That being said, feel free to modify the word above with any positive adjectives(?). It would still accurately depict how I feel about this ReMix.
