I've done it

after all this time.

I've returned to my Drum & Bass roots and created a masterpiece.

Lol, in all seriousness though, I cannot wait to share this track with you all. It doesn't really resemble any of my old works specifically, but it definitely is a form of a step back and a breath of fresh air. I'm going to be sending this around to various promoters in hope of some responses soon and I'll get back to you all with an exact release date as soon as I can. I definitely feel like this track is a GOAT for me, I've really impressed myself with it.

I'm putting out a new track next Friday.

This one is actually new btw.

tbh, nothing new.

I just saw Madeon perform live last night and it was nothing short of amazing.

it was fucking beautiful and such an unforgettable night. I expected so much from him, being one of my top 3 favourite artists and it was still a million times better than what I was expecting. If you're thinking about seeing him perform on his Pixel Empire tour, do not even hesitate.

on a sidenote tho, Skylar Spence was ehh. His music is really good, but he did not sound good live.

Maybe some new stuff soon. I have a handful of very, very, very WIP tracks. It's just hard for me to finish stuff because I feel like I'm not really doing anything new. I don't want to keep producing the same stuff over and over again, I legitamently want to experiment with different things that I've never done before until I get a sound that is unique, while still having a deep love for it. That takes some time.

So, maybe in February I'll have something new out?

no promises.

Also, my visual art piece "Infinity Fades" was taken down? I don't really care to argue because I'm not all that serious with my visual art works, but I don't see why it was taken down. I used a free stock image as a reference while I was drawing it and followed all of the rules that the stock owner had posted to follow when publishing works that used her stock.

I'm not sure if I was unclear or not in my last post, I honestly did not even bother to read it again, but here's this.

I don't think I could ever actually 'quit' music. Like, I started producing music with the thought of "oh, shit, electronic music is so cool, it's even cooler than I can make it myself!". It was like that because at the time I started producing music, I had one of the closest friendships I think I've had with 2 other people whom I don't even talk to anymore. At the time we seemed inseparable and it felt pretty good being able to find cool shit to share with each other and even try to be creative with each other. Eventually we all just went our ways, started talking less and less and got the point where we are now, basically strangers. I pretty much closed up and started keeping to myself after that friendship drifted apart, and music production was beginning to become more of a way to express how I feel instead of just "oh, cool shit".

I've recently felt like I've stopped having fun with music and stopped expressing myself with it. I feel like I've been trying to live up to a standard, and like I've been compairing myself to other artists way too much. I feel like maybe I've just been trying too hard to impress other people with my music and I've drifted so far off of why I actually enjoy making music.So I guess, I made it seem like I was trying to delete my art off of the internet in my last post, but that really isn't the case. I still want to push my music out there, and being heard by as many people as possible is still one of my biggest dreams, and I dont mean to sound repetative, but I guess I really was just trying to follow some kind of guideline or rule book in an attempt to please everyone and I really needed to get rid of that. 

That being said, I'm still proud of all my current releases because of the amount of effort I put into all my tracks and how close I got to the sounds I was aiming for. I still have no planned releases for this year though, but I imagine something new will come up in the near future. I am scared to start releasing again though because I don't want to fall back into the same hole of producing music for the sole purpose of pleasing others, so it'll be a while before I feel ready to release music again.

To start off, I want to thank everyone who has supported Digital Sunset and downloaded/shared/rated/or even just listened to it. I put in a lot of work and I'm so glad to just have people listen to my work.

Now, I havent been feeling too well about this new year and I do not plan on releasing music. How long? who knows. maybe I wont ever put anything new out again. I will, however, continue to support the artists that I look up to and have inspired me. All my music will stay up only here on the Newgrounds website, and I will enable free downloads on all of my music. My soundcloud page will continue to exist, but I've removed all of my releases from it and will only be using it to repost music that I enjoy.

Again, I thank you all for the immense support here on Newgrounds. you guys have really always shown the most love when it comes to my music ♥

Have a great new year everyone

Alright here is what is officially going to be pushed out on December 20th.

I initially really wanted to make this a 10 track LP, but after finishing all that I have done right now, I feel really proud of it, and it just feels right. So, this EP will consist of 8 tracks (listed below) ranging in genres from glitch hop, to future bass, to drumstep. I really hope you all enjoy this EP, a lot of it is really different from what I usually make and although you can clearly hear where my inspirations came from in the actual music, I really feel like everything I've made is totally unique. SO, HERES THE TRACKLIST IN ORDER:

SVMMIT - DIGITAL SUNSET EP

1. - We Were
2. - Follow Me
3. - Artificial Light
4. - Replaced
5. - Hi-Fi (Lo-Fi VIP) 
6. - One Take
7. - To Me
8. - Wiwondoe

All of the tracks on the EP are completely original except for Hi-Fi, which is just a VIP edit of one of my earlier songs (Lo-Fi) that I released under the alias of "True Story". If you'd like to listen to the original mix, you can check it out below. This EP will be released on December 20th on my bandcamp page and the download will include an alternate EP cover and a 1980x1080 desktop background.

also on another, unrelated note, I've finally got my diploma and im traveling soon.

So the release date for this LP creeps up closer and closer everyday, and I just wanted to say a few things about it now. At the moment, I have 6 tracks done for it and I don't feel like I'm going to be able to make it the 10 LP that I wanted to make it. I still might, but there's a very small chance of it. I just don't really want to push back the release date for it at all. 

Also, I might get physical copies made for this one, no idea. The digital download that will be on my bandcamp as pay what you want with no minimum, will come with an alternate cover art that just takes the font off of the image below as well as a 1980x1080 wallpaper for free.

So I'm 18 now.

Also, I'll putting out a song from the EP I'm working on next week. However, no free downloads until I completely release everything in December.

k thnx bai.

So I have a handful of tracks ready for my end of the year EP. I'm thinking about publishing one or two tracks from it as teasers. however, I still haven't come up with art for a cover yet so there's that. Anyways, I'm sure I'll be able to finish everything up and have a full 8 or 9 track EP release ready for december. I'm having a lot of fun working on these tracks and expirementing with a few styles of music that I haven't really touched as much as I've wanted, like glitch hop.

also my 18th birthday in a week, yay me for not being a fetus anymore
