Small Update on What's Happening (Not much has changed)

Things aren't too different since I last posted. I've still got more remixes I have to do than I can really handle. And still no-one (except maybe 3 people) cares. Why am I even posting this? =P
I'm not going to bother with the OCR project auditions anymore, as I'm pretty sure I'm not good enough. So here's what I'm doing:

- At least 2 tracks for a DKC Remix Album/Project/Collaboration/Whatever you want to call it.

- A remix for the Freshly Baked ReMixer Challenge. (2 month deadline. Oh shit...)

- At least 1 remix for Essence of Lime (An Oracle of Ages album project)

- At least 3 remixes for Super Nuke Bros

- And to make things even harder I've got writers block. Again. >_<

I have, however, got a lot of ideas that I want to try. When I eventually come back I think I'll try some more New Super Mario Bros or Pokemon music. I might even give some Super Mario Galaxy tracks a shot. I'm taking a break from Donkey Kong though...
In the meantime I'll see if I've got some WIPs or something lying around, just so the few people who read this have something to listen too.

EDIT: Life in the Shaft Lane is on the Best of All Time list! =D I think this is my 4th song to get up there. And it's my first GOOD remix to get on. The other 3 sucked...

What? No more donkey kong!? o:

Must suck having 'writers' block. Maybe you should be a little more careful with signing up for everything. (=

lol yeah, I should. >_< But I got 2 weeks holiday now, so that should help.
As for DK, half my remixes are of DKC songs, and I'm doing a few more for the project. I want to try and remix some different music. I'll get back to it eventually, as there's still a few songs I absolutely HAVE to remix (Stickerbrush Symphony, In a Snow-Bound Land, Haunted Chase, Ice Cave Chant...)

Man, don't ever say you're not good enough your remixes are amazing! I had no idea you had a Newgrounds page I just saw your mixes on YouTube. You're one of my favorite artists so keep up the good work! Can't wait to hear your new remixes :)

Thanks a lot DjShanezi! =D I think what I should do is force myself to stay off the Internet one day and get stuck into these project mixes. If I can get one done, I should be able to do the rest after that. =) Thanks again for the encouragement!

I was actually joking about the DK thing. It's perfectly understandable.

Have you ever tried making original music? I know you put some original melodies into parts of your mixes, but I'd be interested to see how well you can compose an entire original track.

If you can manage that, I'll have even more respect for you than I already do. (=

I have tried to write some original songs before. A few of them went absolutely nowhere, and I gave up pretty early. But I did come up with a pretty nice melody one time. I tried making a full song out of it, but then I realized it reminded me of Primal Dialga. So I slipped it into my Primal Dialga remix! =D You can hear it at 3:21 - 3:34 (Slightly edited to make it fit, and the backing is identical to PD). That little harp interlude-y thing at 2:24 is original too.

Anyway, I'll try and do at least one original track for you. =) Hopefully I won't be reminded of a VG theme halfway through, but I can always finish the original song and, uh *cough* reuse it *cough* in a ReMix later *cough*.

Thanks a lot HCP! =D I'll let you know if/when I finish one.
