Hey Newgrounds;

The release of "In Time" is going to be sometime towards the end of this week. I know I said last week that it would release last saturday, but my violinist hasn't been able to come around to record her sample; she just made it for part of the video shoot. The song is, however, otherwise done; and I just purchased a new Samson condenser mic which will sound great; I had been kind of concerned over the quality of the recorded violin since I can't just record straight from the guitar amp there.

As far as the video, we gave it to one of the A/V instructors at one of our local colleges to get some input; and what we were told was very, VERY promising. Although they pointed out a couple of small things that need to be changed, they ultimately told us that we absolutely NEED to submit it to a film festival. 

Anyhow; the violin will be recorded today, and we'll get some additional footage for the video, probably on saturday.

I actually got a really, really good deal on the mic. It's a Samson CO-1 studio condenser mic with a uni-directional cardioid pick-up pattern. The mic itself, I picked up from a pawnshop brand new for only $40. Of course, I needed to get a mic boom, shock mount, pop screen, and phantom power supply... so after accessories, the entire setup cost about $215. Well spent son, well spent. They also had a USB single octave MIDI controller for $20 that I'm thinking about picking up...

Hey Newgrounds!

The video shoot went pretty good today. It felt great outside, there weren't too many bystanders, we had no equipment issues, and the cops didn't bother us too much! Anyway, I thought I would share some of my favorite stills we got during it.

I hope you enjoyed them!

Alright guys;

So a lot has happened in the past couple of days. To begin with, the second single from the album is nearly finished. I've all but finished arranging it and now it's time to finish mastering it! Similar to the last one, it's 100% guitar; though this time around we will have a drum track and it's very high energy. Interestingly enough, it also syncs up almost perfectly to every video made by the band Autolux; which is super awesome.

And finally; speaking of videos... thanks to an interesting turn of events I'll be filming the music videos for the first two starting on saturday. I've been given use of a 4k HD television camera for the shoot so things will appear a little more legitimate than walking around with a dinky GoPro.

So that's all I have for now... keep a look out for the new drop Saturday morning!

I've got the Cover Art for the new Album finished!

Hey All!

I have news. I have decided I'm going to record and upload a new album. I'll release it track by track every week or two just to have regular content. Here's the first track, enjoy and tell me what you think! Album art hasn't been decided yet.

01. The Clock - Exploding Skies by Donnie Collins

Flash? Hell no; I can't create flash. Submit audio? Are you serious!? The best I've done is a mash up of Mercy and Walk on Green, and even it's not so great.

Art? Now there's something I can do! It's been over half a decade, but I can finally contribute something to NG that isn't a BBS post!!! Check out my recent postings! :)

Just wondering... is this Newgrounds, or Club Penguin?

I rest my point.

We are born... born stupid, but still born happy.
As we age, our bodies, at first, get stronger, get bigger, and then
As we age on... our bodies grow old, brittle, weak, and even smaller.

We live a good life, for the most part.
Even if it was a hard, easy, or just plain ordinary,
You lived a good life on this earth.

However, you do get old, and life, which seemed to speed up with the passage of time,
Slows to a slow, miserable crawl.
You grow ill often, and you get incredibly week.

and then, you diE.
nobody knows what awaits you after you expirE.
whether nothing happens, or whether you move on to another worlD...
Nobody knowS.

What we do know, is that it doesn't matter what anyone says, or does... we will all eventually die. But it won't be our body breaking down, for as long as we have the will to live, we can go on. Though, in our greatest time of weakness... we forfeit our will to live. And for forfeiting that will... we pay the greatest Punishment we could have imagined. Our body's, will's, and soul's omega.

We may be reborn, though we may just be expired. Our bodies left to decay, and our soul... our soul just vanishes into the vast emptiness that is nothing. Sounds like fun, doesn't it?

I am a man who is destined to be alone. It is my destiny to be alone, therefore it is my will's desire to be alone. The tie between destiny and free will. Destiny is what the will is willed by itself to do. I destine, or will to lead a simple, yet happy life... though, no matter what I decide... my life will always be happy. There is no such thing as a bad life. Life is a worthwhile thing... it is a delicate fabric that is a cosmic anomaly. Though, whether there are other beings, intelligent or not, is not for me to decide.

You lead your life thinking what you want, you lead your life doing what you want, you will yourself to live, eat, breath, hell, you even will yourself to die... but if your will is your destiny, then doesn't that mean that your will is predetermined?

I ramble when it's late at night, I'm still awake... and I have not posted in a while. I will my apology to you.
