Ogre Kingdoms Rhinox

My two younger cousins have started getting interested in Warhammer, at about the same age I did. I lost interest a few years ago- I accumulated too many models and didn’t finish the ones I already had.

But Jo let me paint a few of his models when he brought them to show family at a BBQ, and I suddenly got hooked again! Luckily most of my paints were still usable, only 3 of 30odd paints were dry- and they were the ones in the old screw top lids. The new flip-top lids were all fine.

So, here’s my first ‘revival’ model- a Ogre Kingdoms Rhinox:

Expect more soon! I’m undercoating a Giant at the moment.

Girl, You Have No Faith In Medicine!

Seriously, she doesn’t. Great song though. Which is why I used it for the first of my drum videos with new recording eqipment! It’s my first recording set-up, so it’s really exciting recording things into FLStudio. Expect acoustic + live elements to bleed into my electronic stuff :D

New thing

Sorry I haven’t been posting recently, but I have a big summer holiday ahead of me, and I’ve just finished my GCSE exams! So I’ve got nothing to do but make music, and have fun.

I think I’ll post more if I make it less of a chore and more a quick note.

Here’s something I’ve been working on:

GAH UPDATE

Sorry about not posting recently, if anyone still reads this. If you do, please comment- it’s nice to know if at least one person reads my blawg.

My previous post (quite a while ago now) about that song called Duality- I’ve handed vocals over to Hania, who unfortunately seems to be dragging her feet a little. I’ve bugger a while about it, but it’s been nearly two months now. In the new year, I shall rant on her again D:

Next year, I hope to be doing a weekly blog, probably on Sunday midday/afternoon. It would be good to keep a blog of some sorts, maybe to look back on it- maybe just something to do :P I wanna loose some weight, so maybe I’ll post how much I’ve lost that week, and a cumulative total of weight lost since the start of the year. Maybe :P

I got Rock Band! XD Tis pretty awesome. So I don’t think I’ll be making any more music any time soon :P

So yeah, check this space after the new year beings. Wish me luck…

Another WIP

The Aphex Twin inspired song has kind of dried up for me- I’m not sure where to take it from there. I’ve done absolutely nothing to it since I posted it on here. Rather annoying, but there’s nothing I can do about that. I’m just going to leave it alone, and pick it up again in a few weeks maybe. Fresh start :)

But, in the meantime, I’ve picked up another project! And this one is going a lot better, and a lot faster too.

Finally working on some new music - Aphex Twin style

I’ve been listening to a lot of Aphex Twin recently, and suddenly got inspiration for this guitar thing, which would go great with some glitchy drums and samples. I’m gonna cut up the guitar and make that glitchy too, but later on in the tune. Might try out some voice synthesizers, see if I can somehow include those in the mix.

I’m not happy with the volume of the hi-hats at the beginning, or the drum fill to introduce the drums. But ah well, it’s a WIP with a whole lot of progress to go.

Here’s the intro:
