It seems like the only thing I use this blog space for is postmortems! Hopefully that'll change in the future. :3

I know nobody actually reads this, but I do like to keep a record of these sorts of things. Anyway, I'll keep this brief and I'll get right into things. Nobody needs to see me write a novel about this. I had the idea of writing a song for every Zodiac sign in June of 2012. It was one of those late night, before-I-fall-asleep thoughts. I got started in December of 2012. 

I can definitely say some songs are better than others. While I don't think any are irredeemable garbage, the sound quality for some are better than others (FL Studios is certainly built for synth, and I haven't been 100% successful in making other genres like metal sound that great, but I've certainly improved). As a whole, the project taught me a lot about music theory, keeping your mind moving to prevent writer's block, and most of all, a few ins-and-outs of FL Studios that I didn't know about prior. 

Every song is available for free on Newgrounds. However, every song is available in HQ on bandcamp. Those versions are slightly tweaked from their NG counterparts too. You can download the whole thing for $1 there. Again, both the originals are available to listen and download for free here on NG, and the tweaked and updated, HQ versions are also available to listen to for free there on Bandcamp, and download for $1!

For 2014, I'm planning a similar project. For each month, I'll do a portrait of a musician that has influenced me in one way or another. Each portrait will be in a different style. I DEFINITELY need to improve my visual art skills (as you can see by some of the things I've put in the Art Portal...), and the only way I'll get there is by consistantly practicing. If you made it through this whole thing...wow, thanks for taking the time! :3
