TestPress 2011 Tomorrow

The Testpress event takes place tomorrow and I have a track named "Faraway" in it.

I sometimes tend to feel like I'm on shaky ground with electronic music, particularly with club and dance. Since my current workflow tends toward linear composition, I have trouble finding a good groove and just sticking with it. Linear composition is fine for orchestral music and scoring to picture, but it has a tendency to drive me towards constant change, which can negatively impact groove. The Testpress event also has a track time limit of 3:30, which probably also contributes to a rushed pace. Either way, I've lost perspective.

I'll be assisting with operation of the event and will have better feedback after the review tomorrow.

Integration Issues

So... integrating my own page code with Bloggers is turning out to be more trouble than I expected. Even if I get my own page to host the thread, every single link is going to want to leave my own page and go over to Blogger. A nuisance indeed, but I may have to just go with it and accept the problems for now. Unless I want to redesign my own page from the ground up, (and I don't at the moment), I think I'm going to have to accept the flaws as they are and press on.

Website Quirks

Getting around to finishing my site has been slow, and I'm sure it is probably backwards that the Audio page is the last to get up and running, but since I already have a number of tracks available on the Soundcloud player, it naturally follows that material on the Audio page needs to be different and special.

I want to put only concrete, work-related examples on the Audio page, particularly samples of sound design and music that has been used in various projects, as opposed to just tracks that I've made. Once a certain game is released in a few months, I'll probably be able to post examples of my work from that.
