I was gonna say "happy birthday" but then Arrow took me on his knee. What?

Happy birthday!

http://soundcloud.com/jhsounds/sets/the-vocals-volume-one I noticed a lot of vocal compo tracks I've done have similar themes and tone, so here's more or less a definitive track list for an album-like experience.

Hah, I'm sure there will be a scene where he falls into an iPhone and gets pelted by angry birds.

Gamer kids are now the theater-going adults.

The Beach Boys - That's Why God Made the Radio

Just listened to this and it is funtastic. It was also nice meeting Sam at Blip Festival. Grats on the album release!

Is there any way to get a notification if someone quoted me in a thread? It would be a great way of keeping track if someone is directly replying to something I may have said, in a more specific manner. (As opposed to subscribing to the thread and checking all the posts manually)

I guess I'm a soundtrack nut then.

Thanks for the suggestions! In other news, JHCompo round 100 is coming up this Tuesday. Get excite! EDIT: Thanks for joining. We got excite!

Interesting easter egg that was actually in the movie: this.

Probably the most difficult thing for me was working out lyrics that fit the tone of the writing. For example I'll have a melody I like that has a haunting gloomy feel, but it'd be attached to a placeholder line like "I don't know how that chicken got in here". At the very least I try to keep the early WIP versions to myself until I have a suitable lyric.

I saw it again, and it almost made me want to watch Thor. Almost.

I couldn't help feel that The Avengers is just a kid playing with action figures. A big mashup, where every scene is a "wouldn't it be cool if...?" I don't see this as entirely a bad thing, though.

It's been great keeping in contact with you over the years. Have a good one, bro!

http://blipfestival.org/2012/ CHIPTUNES! Nuff said. So yeah, who's planning on going? There's plenty of OCR meetup potential to be had here.

Note: JHCompo is looking for theme suggestions as well as feedback regarding SolidComposer features and functionality. Feel free to post them in this thread. JHCompo is a 2-hour, weekly composition competition where entrants create original music based on the theme given. This all-gear, MP3-based compo is held every Tuesday, and was created as a place for musicians to hang out and hone their craft. All the action happens at SolidComposer including the listening party, which is automated. For those new to the site: entrants must sign up for an account to upload their entries (in MP3 format) to the compo round page. The theme will appear at the start of the compo round. Once the 2-hour round is up, the listening party will start immediately at the compo round page. The compo is open to anyone, from beginners to the well-experienced. For the date of the latest round, see my sig. http://compo.jhsounds.com/

Happy birthday!

I appreciate the track-by-track analysis, guys! On a related note, I made a new music video for the song "Ocean Riff".

Happy birthday!

I hope my new mashup makes it through the revised submission process!
