Still Working Back
Due to the recovery as well as the plethora of spring activities that need to get done, I am still a bit behind. As a catch up, I have been enjoying a bit of a swell in Apple Play Listens the last two weeks. This has happened before on Apple Play, but this time it has even been more listens. I hope everyone is enjoying the music. The listens appear to be geographically diverse (around the world). From a listening stand point it also seems to be my earlier albums (this is

Been out a bit
Sorry for the lack of updates. I had a surgery last month, and then ended up back in the hospital due to complicates. I am recovering well at this point, and should be getting back at it soon. Until then, please continue to enjoy the music.

Reorganization – Maybe later in Spring as a cleaning and some LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator)
I did end up with some feedback. There seemed to be some desire not to toss away what has already been created (even if it is not as good). There seems to be less fear of people hearing those songs and running aware before hearing anything they might like than losing out on those songs. Awhile back I had purchased the Dream Synth Pack from Jeremy (Red Means Recording) as I like his work and like to support him. This pack has been helpful on the new album (not just for us

Is Reorganization a Good Thing?
I did not get much feedback on re-ordering the albums, but still think I will go forward with it at some point. It might be good to do it before the next album comes out (so a clean break), but if it does not happen before, will wait until afterward. I do not want to time the two together and have one pull from the other. I have two possible plans at this point. Scenario 1 The first one is to remove everything before Intergalactic Road Trip (everything after that point

Reorganization is a Good Thing
Let me start out by saying that the change in direction on the new album (see last post moving to Lullabies) was a good thing. Already have a song finished and the next one in progress. Should be able to work through an album in a much more reasonable time than I was with the old topic. I gave a listen to all my songs (just listened to them in order). The musical growth is huge. In fact it is so huge the first album (We’re Making Music Now) feels unlistenable to me. Th

An Interesting Twist
So, it seems we are making a bit of a change, and that should only help get the next album out sooner (albeit a different next album). As I have stated we have worked through the process. In fact for the first song on the next track we have worked through the chords (if you could call it that (more like a full tone etc), rhythm and even the melody. Seems like we would be done then. Issue is that we have not finalized the sounds (think of it as synths). Issue we have is th

OP-XY? – Will we change the lineup again?
In a previous post we defined Orbital Rhapsody Music. I will not go through that here (you can go back 3 posts). However, after doing that (and agreeing that DarkStar could use the sequencer in limited instances as discussed). I will note here that we do use the drum sequencer normally, but that fits the agreement and was used as a precedent). So DarkStar ended up taking this a step further, wondering (aloud) if we should shake up the band’s lineup again. The OP-XY has

Were Back
Sorry for not updating, but I did get to go on a vacation (went to the beach - did not work out as well, as hoped though and had to cut is short). Obviously we did not make much progress while I was out (though Condu can communicate with the spacecraft, I still need to turn him on). The spacecraft took the time to have another adventure (that hopefully will be featured in a future album). With no updates, this will be short, but did want to welcome the 3 new countries that
