Things are being set up to start into motion in 2012. Trying to get a nice secure bubble around myself so I can basically lean forward and push until I'm done with as few side tracks as possible.
I'm sorry to all of you who have been on me the last few years about putting more music out there. A few dozen of you have been on me a couple times a month at least and I really appreciate that. It means a lot to me that things I always assume were hated by everybody who heard it based on my not being happy with it, are actually enjoyed by some.
Conceptually I've been working on content for God is Void since probably 2003. Beyond that I've been even deeper in thought about, to me, a much larger scale album named The River of Piss since at least 1999. At least that's when the concept took form, based off of new mental activity on top of a foundation started in my head probably as far back as 1993.
It's entirely possible what I would sadly consider to be a practice album could be posted in March, getting my feet wet and ironing out all the kinks that have been tightening increasingly so over the past years. Then dig deeply into the two albums i fully intend to complete by new years eve 2012.
I never really intended to put out as much as I did from 2000 to 2004 then only put out two records between 2004 and 2011. I always figured it would increase in both frequency and quality.
I'm sorry. I'll make it up to you, and myself.

There is a pulse of some sort. A change to the front page of this website reflects that. More soon.

Have been getting more and more inquries emailed to me regarding Failure and what I was talking about regarding Dubstep. First of all, I haven't touched anything regarding Failure since literally the day I posted the last update here. I posted that at the end of a five or six hour session. That session was entirely based around one track. I have the end result in my head but nothing was working. The points touched on below were blowing up in my head before I even sat down that day and met a deafening roar before I even called it a day. I have had a lot of urges to return to music, but until I find a steady job as opposed to a bunch of little monetary padding jobs, I don't see myself returning to musical creativity. In regards to the Dubstep love, a few days before that post I had taken a break from audio work of the Failure nature and spent a few hours fucking around with making Dubstep oriented music. Threw out a six minute track that was a hell of a lot better than I was expecting to be able to do. Wasn't good enough to really keep around, but as a test to see what I might have to work on in the genre, the list was a hell of a lot shorter than I assumed. Maybe one day I'll be back in the saddle, which would need to happen if I were going to even release the shit sitting around because none of it is done enough to do anything with. But... I'll be back for sure, the thirst is too strong..

Nothing is looking right anymore for Symphony of Noise. There are a large number of tracks sitting around and a bunch of partial tracks and many times more in my head still. But it's not fun anymore because I'm in such a terrible situation regarding jobs that it's just too stressful. The fact that I printed 50 copies of Point of Access and didn't sell one vs. the several hundred I had to make and sell back in the first half of this decade of older records... I mean... That's a huge movement backwards, shitty economy or not. All I can think about is how I'm certain when I post what's complete, considering I feel this stuff is even better yet than what was on Point of Access, I'm going to be waiting to hear feedback from more than a handfull of people and listen to silence and watch absolutely nobody be interested in more than downloading shit. And it feels like I'm entertaining myself and it's too depressing. So I'm just going to walk away until it feels right.

symphonyofnoise.net is no more. The website is now a mirror for symphonyofnoise.com. The productions site was never, ever going to be finished. I have no desire anymore to hire myself out for graphical interface work much less web design for other people. So I closed that down. We don't have hardware that can stand up to the demands of modern Photography anymore, so we're not hiring ourselves out for it. No point in the site, so it now serves the music side.
More work still on Failure. Still hoping to have it done by the end of the year. Project lined up in the Dubstep arena for 2010. Oh boy. Dubstep is, in my opinion, the perfect fucking Genre.

Pushing back "Failure." I'm not going to set a goal date, but I am aiming for within the next few weeks. I really don't want to release anything again simply because I don't want to disappoint myself or the three people who are paying attention and waiting. More so because the last three albums I've released simply to get it out by the time I've stated it was coming out by. I could do that again, but I would always look back on it like everything else and say "oh, if I could have just done this or this, and put it off a week or a month." Depending on which album. The Death of it All doesn't count because that hit a brick wall with my previously being stupid. But I back things up constantly now to multiple sources, so I wont be losing my samples / source files again.
Anyway. I may be getting some other little shit like Eyeliner was popping out of nowhere with my ventures in music. That I didn't plan at all. Was spawned from driving and that original song being on a CD that happened to be in the car of someone else's. And wow, this song needs work. So.

Vent Ten: Eyeliner.
Remix of Lil Mama's "Lipgloss"
01 . Eyeliner
02 . Eyeliner (Instrumental)
03 . Eyeliner (Simple Overdub)
04 . Eyeliner (Simple Overdub Instrumental)
05 . Beatapella
. zip file (all four 320KBps tracks + 'source' mp3 and cover image)
First of all I chose to make this a Vent because I'm using one of the instrumentals in a way on Failure. And I made it 10 besides 9 because, well, I already have my heart set on Failure being vent 9. This kind of blew out of my head at a fast pace and instantly found a place on the record in an altered form.
Now.. Concerning this release: After several times hearing this song I just felt like it had to have stuff added to it. Just felt wrong having simply two samples which made a beat and the vocals, that I had to do something with it.
Beatapella = a track with the beat (altered sound, then original sound) that I used followed by a pretty crappy low quality acapella track but that's all I had, so.. I'll redo it if I get a better track but I don't see any record labels jumping for joy and providing a high quality track of that.
more news on Failure soon...

It's that time again... As people have commented and questioned.. That's right. New vent is coming over the horizon. Nowhere near what people who have stuck with me deserve. But I don't have the heart to just discard well over a CD's worth of music just because it doesn't interest me to continue working on the tracks. Some tracks I am going to finish up because I know exactly what I want to do to finish them. The majority of them are just going to be arranged in a way to make them more interesting hopefully than I actually believe them to be.
And as always, I tend to title things the direction I feel I'm going with Symphony of Noise. Thus, Vent Nine is titled Failure.
More this week...
