some time ago i picked up an old hobby of mine
drawing (yust with a pencil and paper)
i started drawing again wich i havent done in 4-5 years...
i decided to draw a forest, then suprisingly it looked extreemly great... way better then i imagined i could draw
family, friends and some people at school saw me drawing... and all of them told me it looked great

i have a lot of fun drawing landscapes so i will continue on doing so
only thing is that i dont have infinitive time... so my music creation has slowed down a lot :(
espacially because i love working in detail (wich means 1 tree can take half an hour XD)
i wont stop creating music, dont worry about that!!! its yust that i love more then only the musical art

and maybe ill take a picture of my creations and upload them at the art portal so you have the ability to enjoy more types of art from me
only it will take some time to do that since i gave my first finished creation to my girlfriend, wich will be for her only (ofcourse others may see it too... but i wont make copies or share it on the internet) and my second one is still not finished

in about a week ill go to Austria for a week long
there i will take a lot of pictures for drawing inspiration... so i will be drawing for a while... :P
thought ill let you guys know right now before you think i abandoned my music after waiting for so long without a new song to listen to

~~~~~~~~~~
art is all around you!!!
art isnt bounded by limits of paintings or music or the other standard interpretations of art
because almost all ways of expessing feelings can be called art (when most canot enjoy your art... it wont mean that it aint art)
even you have an artist inside of you, so open up your mind and release the art within you
when you do, you will deffenitly enjoy more of the world

my artistic view has expended a lot lately (not because i started drawing)
and im happier then ever
~~~~~~~~~~

hope my feelings will reach you too through my art...

im back home and i started working on my music production already

i have right now 3 projects running
and they are al 3 processing quite well
1. a happy dance song
2. a calming orchestral piece
3. a piano only song

yes... i am indeed trying at other music genres too
its a good experiance, but its also that i love more types of music... electronic music is only a small part

hope you wil enjoy music...

its going GREAT on my piano only song!!!
its olmost 2 minutes long already... but ill continue till at least 3 minutes
(im thinking about extending it even more by using chords wich i havent tried yet on this one)
also i still need to think of an nice outro... and an intro (intro i have right now is only sort of a fade in)
when i finish my still unnamed piano project, i will uploud it in the classic genre since it fits most in there

too bad i cant play a piano my self so i have to let flstudio play it for me...
wich means it sounds a little unnatural and unrealistic because a human might make little mistakes, play some parts a little faster, some notes louder then others and more variable effects that makes it more natural...
but i will try to mess around with the volume, notes, speed to make it a little more realistic (some of the changes i tried already maked it feel much more alive then before i changed them... so it is working already)

cant wait to finish this project and start on another like it or something like that... and i yust want to show this melody around already... but i keep it here till i finish it

now im going back to my schoolwork again before i compleetly mess up at school... XD

this goes about the song: ~K4P~ 22 - Sunshine (after the Rain)

today i got a motivation burst i will probebly never i my live get so big in such short time
from now on i have a girlfriend... :D
shes nice, funny and much more (today she was even my big inspiration)

because of that i also got a giant amount of inspiration and motivation
i created in 4 hours a song wich we both really love!!! (normally 4 hours are not even close to enough to create something like that)
its my best creation right now... it has some points where it can be improved on but i yust love it!!!!!!
but... i wont upload it yet till it has a perfect name... so please have patience

its length is 3:35 minutes on 135 BPM
its a emotional trance song that has a dark and a light side
and gives you the feeling everything is going to be alright again (a type of song i tried to create for a week or more already but never got the inspiration i needed till now)
the light part of the song represents how i feel right now

link to the song: ~K4P~ 22 - Sunshine (after the Rain)

hope you will like it!!!

created a second song after it... only that one has no name yet and isnt as good as Sunshine after the Rain (chance ill make something better in short time is low)

====================
check my previous news post for the future album cover design
(made by her :) with some small changes by me)


Posted by Musical-Memoirs - August 7th, 2009


a great friend of mine has designed a album cover :)
plz tell us what you like or what you think that could be better
the included songs exemple is hard to read so im going to request a more clear version for that

i dont want to hear any bad critics!!!
(only tips how to improve)

thanks again anne!

kill4peace

ps: showing a smal low quality image because newgrounds automaticly compress the image smaller
for higher quality you can use these links:
front design
back design

update 1
idea to fix the hard to read letters is finished (only i wont show since i simply fixed it up with paint to give her the idea i had so it still looks cheaply done)
also a little dutch flag will be added in the top right corner of the front

update 2
improved my own edited version so i can show you the idea
(final version will still be better)

===================================
now i need names for my songs harder then ever :P
i give her full time for finishing the design... but its nice to have the song names ready when she have a finished design
so any sugestion are welcome
===================================

front ............. ............. ............. ............ ............ back

hey fans and random visitors

in my last news post i said already that im making a kirby remix
back then i didnt think it would work out in the end... but now i have a lot of motivation and inspiration so if you wont see any new songs for a while then it means that im still busy on it (it is now one of the biggest projects already... while im not far at all)
it will take extreemly long to finish this but i hope to release my first version in a few weeks

this is the song im going to remix:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8LKB7H D5PU
the first 29 seconds are deffinitle be in it and if it works out then i will use the whole melody

hope you like kirby as much as i do :P
kill4peace

=====

its going well!!!
i used the whole melody already and now i found someone else with a remix wich has a different great fitting melody in it too
i will base a little on his song... so im trying to recreate that melody too (only his does not have the whole melody of the original wich i do... so mine will still be original :P and better)

=====

my driving lessons are (fun but) a pain in the ass...
being away from morning till evening...
wich means im not so far as i planned
i have 60% off the song structure finished
40% at the beat
10% at the sound quality

in other words a lot to do :(

it still needs a lot of time, but i am extreemly motivated on this 1

i am posting now my first demo
i dont know if i will ever finish this
but i at least give it a shot because it has potential ;)
this melody suddenly popped up and while creating it i was thinking "FINALLY STARTED THE REAL DEAL!!!"

if some1 can think of an nice name for it... (you will be placed in the credits)
or has some advice then i would love to hear from you
(i will call it K4P1 untill i found a fitting name)

hope you like this demo,

i am now following some tutorials before i continue on my song "Raising Motivation" (that will be the name of my first song now called "K4P1")

---
30 - 10 - 2008

i hoped to finish it or to make something new within a week
but unless i get some inspiration and cant wait to make something from it i wont
there is really just too much to learn about it
i am following tutorials, i am looking for nice usable melodies, i am testing what i learned and i am experimenting with all the effects
its just too much!

so it will take a while
sorry for for making you wait
but since no one knows me yet ;P it doesnt really matter
hahaha

25 - 10 - 2008 (dont look at post date above)

i finally started creating my own songs
i still totally suck at it... lets see wat will happen
i have only created 1 test song of a few seconds until now, just for testing how it works
i will probably never finish that boring test song... but i will post it (tomorrow) for testing the song posting system of newgrounds
btw, im using garageband (which is standard on the mac from my parents)

who knows?
maybe ill be good at it 1 day ;)

enjoy my future songs,
