Work in Progress - Rampant v. 0.1

I've decided i will go with the 0.x release idea. Basically, 0.x releases won't be available for download, and won't be visible in the music page; only on blog posts and my SoundCloud page. but will be available for people to listen to and comment and suggest what could be improved upon. So: behold! Rampant v. 0.1!
Please let me know what i can do to make this better.
enjoy!

What I am Trying To Accomplish

so, why am i doing all this?  why am i releasing music, blogging, and promoting stuff?  lots of people do it for fame, recognition, pushing out some sort of message, the desire to let others enjoy a work, or many other reasons.  and i hope that someday i can do that.  but at this point, i'm a bit too new for that kind of thing.  At this point, i'm learning.
really, what i'd like more than listens, views, fame, revenue, or all that stuff, would actually be advice and constructive criticism.  maybe someday i'll be pro enough to go for actual musical success, but at this point, publishing is more like a sounding board, so i can hear what people say where i suck, and where i can improve upon.  so if i ever start sounding to stuck-up or anything, send me a link to this post, as i have a feeling it will apply to me for the rest of my life.

Logo

I've been working on a logo.  this is sorta like a logo / album art type pic.  also, i promise i'll have my next song out soon, its almost done.  Let me know what you think!  (clicking on the image should bring up the full-sized image)

Old stuff!

Every now and then i'll release an old song.  usually my old ones suck, in this case, this is the first song i made using Ardour.  I have since lost the original project file, and the last mixdown i made was not up to date, which is actually really tragic; this could have been pretty good.  Well, here it is!

*Old songs will not be posted on the music page; you need to read my blog or soundcloud page to find these hidden gems.

Nineteen Sixty-Three Is Not An End, But A Beginning!

New song out, titled Nineteen Sixty-Three!

So, that came out a lot sooner than expected. Hopefully this will become a trend :D
In the works right now is an awesome song in 9/8 timing. i think that's all that needs to be said now; hopefully you can get to hear it within a week.
Enjoy!

(PS, you are free to download, share and remix the song. See the Music page for more info)

Music perhaps even sooner than what was previously predicted!

Nineteen Sixty-three is pretty much ready for release, and another song (for which i don't yet have a name) is coming along faster than expected.
I have been considering using a version numbering system similar to software to release my music, so that the first public release of a song is titled <song name> 1.0, and then if i make any changes to the song, it would be re-uploaded as <song name> 1.1, and so on.  major remixes would be titled 2.x, 3.x, etc.  This would allow me to improve upon music even after it is released.  Updating of the music would obviously not be enforced DRM-ically because that would be completely unacceptable (not to mention unfeasible).  So it would still be in my best interests to release fully finished songs.
Another idea i have been toying around with is doing 0.x releases, where i could release a song before it is finished so as to get feedback about it before an official release.  At this point i don't think i want to do that, but perhaps in the future that could be something i could consider.
Anyways, that's my thoughts for now.  I hope to post again soon with download links!

Actual Music Coming Soon!

great news! soon, all of you tens of visitors will get to see more than just a couple of blog posts and a screenshot of me working.  actually, that's what you will still see, on the hearing front it will get more interesting.  that's right folks, actual songs!  instead of waiting until i have like 12 songs, then rejecting several of them and waiting even longer to release an album, i will be doing single releases.  when i have enough singles out there, perhaps then i will consider making an album.  But expect a new single titled "Nineteen Sixty-Three" out within a couple of weeks, and another one a couple weeks following that.

As for how they will be released:

all dn3s music will be available for FREE download in DRM-FREE formats, and released under a Creative Commons license that will allow sharing, noncommercial remixes.  probably wav, mp3, and ogg.

if I get a lot of traffic, i will probably try to capture that in the form of ad revenue, so while piracy of my music is encouraged, please consider linking to my site for downloads, as opposed to sharing the files directly.

Anyways, i'll get this stuff out as quick as i can.

Changes

so, things have changed a bit.  my cousin shayn is an amazing percussion player, but at this point the logistics of working together didn't really pan out.
so, it looks like dn3s is going to be me.  not so much of a band as an artist name.  so yeah.  i am dn3s.  i'm pretty excited because i am actually making music now, so you should be seeing some actual content soon.
