Howdy howdy.
I've just added a new track to my WIP album. It's called Dawn, and as the album suggests is a work in progress. (Even the name is). I've taken a bit more of a chilled-out angle with this, just dipping my toes in different ideas to see what happens. I'm quite pleased with it personally, but I feel it stops just too soon…

Let me know what you think… More piano? Less piano? Extended? Need a beat? Deeper drones?

Anyway - Enjoy, or don't, whatever ;D

I've just uploaded 3 'WIP' tracks to my artist section, (random_monkey)

The tracks are called 'Rain Today', 'Drifting' and 'Eventual Epiphany'. However, just like the songs themselves, the titles are WIP too.

They follow a similar laid-back/chillout approach to my other stuff that's up there, but I feel these are … well, better.

They're probably my 3 favourite of the ones I'm working on. (I say 'working on'. I've found myself with very little time lately, but hopefully I'll get some motivation if these are well received)

Anyway, enjoy :)

Howdy howdy people…

I've put my album, Welcome Solitude, up for free download so you can download all the tracks and put them in your playlist or your player, or whatever…

The album is mostly ambient-style, perhaps a little more upbeat than it should be to afford the 'ambient' title, but it certainly has influences from that genre. So if you enjoy that type of music (Chillout in general really), then you should get on with this :)

I'm currently working on a 2nd album which I intend to have up fairly soon. I've got 3 tracks which are…

I've been adding songs to my 'playlist', which I have titled Unusual Chillout Music. I woke up at 4.30 this morning and couldn't get back to sleep, so I've been listening to soft songs so that I don't hurt my fragile morning-brain.

Anyway, I thought I'd write a little about each one here.

1) Califone - Bottles and Bones (Shade & Sympathy)
My mate was doing his usual browsing through myspace, profile hopping. I was getting quite annoyed at the blips of music that kept popping up until this one came on. He skipped past it, clearly not to his…

Wow… it sure does… suck

It's almost as if the design has gone backwards by mistake. I mean, were they having so much trouble fitting everything on that they just decided to make everything bigger than it already was, and then slap it on the page to see how it landed?

Oh, and seems they've enabled downloads again, so you can grab some from my artist page.
I'd link to it, but I can't remember how to, and they've deleted the automatic buttons now

*Sigh*

So much anti-progression.

Howdy howdy
'tis my 23rd birthday today, and I got no music, only DVDs (I didn't ask for any music, so go figure)

Anyway, I appear to be in a chillout-y kind of mood, but not trip-hop or ambient.

I'm listening to Handsome Boy Modeling School right now, aaaand I don't know, I had an idea of what I was wanting to say

I guess I'm in the mood for summer-chillout music
Any suggestions?

Everyone else appears to have matches of 40 to maybe even 60 on their neighbours, but the highest in mine is 16… I agree that I have a mixed taste in music, but there's got to be atleast /some/ user out there that shares a similar mixed taste like that of mine.

Way to make me feel bleh, last.fm engine thing. :<

I've now set myself up on CD Baby so I don't handle the sales from my house. It means I can have a fancier layout on my music page on my website ;)

The price has gone up to $10 now though (due to the site taking a cut), so well done to those who dived in before-hand ;P

The link to the CD is available from the random_monkey artist page

I was getting fed up of my music not having any lyrics. After listening to a few other artists today (I Am X only, really), I noticed how he used his lyrics to really add loads more to the song. Sure, there's a lot more going on in the background in comparison with mine, but lyrics are a start.

Anyway, I've put together a small space-like instrumental tonight, and shall attempt to add lyrics tomorrow.

(If you have any lyric suggestions, then please feel free to share with me)

Space-connected would be a bonus, and I've got a neat…

Hehe, ok, I could've just appended this to the last journal, but what the hell

My music is now for sale from my website (Unfortunately, paypal are all "Hurg, you must sign up to this, that and the other" to have a shopping basket, so at the moment it's just going on an email basis. (And then paying through paypal))

Anyway, if you follow this link:

You'll be able to click "Buy!", which will take you to the right page for the info and such.

It says it's a quid - that's before the p+p
So, cheers folksen!
