i haven't started yet, too cold and tired goodnight y'all

Hi, folks. I asked about making a thread for the album I am working on to keep people updated and get some feedback, like any other normal project thread, they said to put it here. I basically want to keep people updated on the happenings instead of doing it secretly. I'll be posting 2 finished songs here that will be set to post before the album comes out, or whenever the panel gets to them (could be 2 years after the album comes out!) and the rest will likely be 30 second clips. And some bloopers, out-takes, and other goodies, like this choir recording for Embrace the Night. First off, here is which will be near the beginning of the album and has already passed the panel to be posted! Secondly, here is which is a collaboration with Cheryl Norfair on female vocals. It has been submitted to the panel but I have pretty good hopes it'll make it. In conclusion, I won't share the track list because I might submit other songs to DoD. That just gives you MORE REASON to subscribe to this thread. You can also follow my progress on Youtube, and twitter following the hashtag #shadetheday (older tweets aren't showing, no idea why) That is all! Hope you enjoy!

I THINK it was for this song:

This is a really great description of current times and what Nintendo can do to improve, IMO.

It needs MUCH more dubstep, but this is great! Was actually pretty surprised to hear such a dark, atmospheric mix like this. Was expecting it to be maybe, more uplifting, but prefer this style. Nice work!

Jimmy I gotta say I'm pretty excited for the kickstarter rewards from yours

Congrats to OCR's best judge, Vig, on his recent Grammy win with Zedd! Here's Zedd and Foxes giving acceptance speech

I had a dream that an album called "sonic 1 victory themes" was released last night. :/ And the artwork was a picture of Sonic shrugging like he had no idea.

Just for kicks, here are some suggestions of what you could buy with your $5 once you win! All taken from the internet ask / answer type sites. "Toilet paper." "CHOCOLATE" "A piece of paper and an envelope. Nothing beats a hand written letter." <-- Now this one would be cool, imagine writing a letter to the guy you beat that says "Sorry bro I'm da best lolllll" "Awesome random things at garage sales." "tampons, pads, panty liners, make up, pens, pencils, erasors, YO PLAIT YO GURT, nail polish, carton of milk, cheese, TOYS, music from itunes, 5 things from the dollor menue from mcdonalds, a thong, note books," <-- this girl's got it all figured out! "Subway lunch deal" "McDonalds!" "A couple of packets of vegetable seeds. If you plant them, they will more than pay for themselves." "Coffee & a lottery ticket" "Energy Drink And Sour Candy" "Ice cream :)" "A good espresso" "Two cups of coffee and a walk in the park with someone you love." "Reece's Peanutbutter Cups." "bubble tea! You got to drink and eat the bubbles!" "Four items at the Dollar Tree. They even sell food now. You can buy packets of salmon for $1." "A real cheap bag of weed lol" "Diabetes from McDonalds...."

The winner of this round will be rewarded with............. the equivelant of $5 USD through Paypal unless you don't have paypal in which case you get nothing. I bet if you guys knew $5 was on the line you would have entered and tried harder!!!!

Trash talk hmmm... I'm gonna... put together a bunch of ideas... in a bag... and put them out for pickup.. oh wait..

Oh hey, the deadline IS 10pm, then the listening party is at 11pm. Be there!

Just so you guys know, the round has begun, it is the 26th.

It's gonna be somewhat orchestrated metal, and the whole second half is acoustic, so it's quite different from Mogstradamus... but at least it doesn't have vocals! So that's.... good?

I don't want to drop mine. May is super reasonable.

I think them being a specific kind of game was the more important part of my quote Sim Rodeo 2015 could have a metacritic score of 500, doesn't mean it's something I'm gonna want to rush to real quick.

Ehh, yeaaah. But the first rule of Butt Hill Zone is, everything is butts.

So how close is this to releasing now that the album queue is more mysterious? I wish I knew what was coming up. :'(

But you guys are getting albums prepped for release, right? Like... Mario 64 or something!

It is! And you got it, good sir! Thanks again! Just gonna say... FF3 is gonna take priority over Golden Sun, this one's been going for over a year already and it's official and the other one is really brand new... so it'd be awesome if you could prioritize this over that. Thank you!

Exciting, I hope I get a good match-up, and I hope I actually make something... supah busy!

It would be SO GREAT if Google Hangouts let you change the panning and volume of each person... I know that probably isn't a feature but it's one they really need to get.

To be fair, I think Super Mario 3D World and Pikmin 3 got pretty good review scores and are loved by many, but it's a specific kind of game too.

Yeah I've been waiting too, looks like it'll be a 9pm thing again this week! I'll have to watch you guys on the non-live stream later!
