Fellow humans, I am letting you know that Carbon Destruction is now available for purchase in iTunes! Thanks to the wonderful CD Baby service, it is now up there, as well as the CD Baby store, and will soon be available on many more sites! This sure makes me quite happy, and maybe will make you happy too? (Somehow…)
And here’s the magical clicky things:
That’s right. A new blog. It’s running on Posterous, a service I very highly like. But you may be thinking: “Wait. There’s already this blog right here! Why another one?”
Well, my answer happens to be that this blog is really just my news blog, for music releases, videos, etc. I didn’t really have a personal blog to put whatever I felt like. So that’s why my new one is. My personal blog for whatever randomness I feel like randomly speaking.
Anyway, you can get to it by the “Blog” link on the site navigation up on the top of the location of the site that you are on. Or you can click here. I would highly suggest you subscribe to it. It’s very simple, and lets you get new posts magically via email, or RSS. Excitingness.
I am pleased to present my first free Kontakt sample library, Bathroom Ensemble, a collection of 8 different household objects, put through processing to create a “bathroom” (or small warehouse) type sound. As this is my first library, it has a few kinks, but most instruments are sampled at 4+ velocity layers with 8+ key range.

Donate, by buying my album, Carbon Destruction (not only do you support my musical endeavors, you also get a nice 15-track Orchestral/Electronica album for your enjoyment and pleasure!)

The recording process for this library was rather strange. I own a very cheap (under $10) microphone, which sounds pretty terrible, and just about the noisiest house known to humanity. I figured out a post-processing method where I used a noise remover and gate to rid the recording of as much background noise as possible, then applied Roomworks reverb at 100% mix, removing the background noise completely, and giving the samples a roomy (bathroom) feel.
Patches:
Way back in 2009, I wrote a trance song called Nextro. At the time I thought it was pretty good, but looking back, it could really be a lot better. Rewriting it was rather simple, and the result is at least 1235926 times better than the original (something like that). But anyway, text doesn’t convey music as good as music conveys music, so get it conveyed to you the proper way, by actual taking a listen to the thing:
Yes, it’s track 6 of Planetary Ending, which is coming along nicely (besides being even more stylistically-insane than Carbon Destruction).
