“Japanese Sound” music blog launched

seanny — Sat, 03 Jul 2010 07:24:17 +0000

I launched a new website called Japanese Sound ( http://jsound.seanny.net/ ) and it needs your help to find music for it. It’s a music blog for hybrid / Japan-esque music.

A use for Google Buzz

seanny — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 07:15:50 +0000

Google Buzz launched last week, and while it bears some resemblance to Facebook, it grants the ability to make public, RSS-able uh… tweets? Unlike Twitter, you can attach media such as pictures, videos and links in a less ghetto fashion, so I decided to upgrayedd my website with a Buzz-driven microblog. Full-length articles will still be posted to my WordPress installation, and they will also be announced on the Google Buzz feed.

In essence, this allows me to share stuff without writing a formal article. Instead I can be like “here, check out this youtube vid”.

So with yet another layer of web apps, this increases the number of levels you can subscribe to me:

Google Buzz (RSS), the "everything" feed.
- Blog+News RSS
  - News-only RSS
peripherally, my SoundCloud uploads. (RSS)

which makes it more convenient for me to update it. I maintain another SoundCloud account for MMvsUSAF as well.

MMvsUSAF.seanny.net || Mega Man vs the United States Air Force is a dance/pop music project I’ve been working on for over a year. We’re going to have a debut show this Friday (Nov. 13th 2009) in Chicago. More info, media, video at the new website. Rest assured that I’m still making weird music for my Renzu project :)

Shikigami

Look at my lonely self in the VBR column. Shikigami is a track I put together in one loooonnng sitting, submitted a few hours before the deadline. I’ve been listening to a lot of SND – Atavism lately so the idea to fool with Ableton Live’s "Resonator" effect on the drums came to mind. Toss in some sound clips ripped from movies and The Freesound Project and you have this track in a nutshell.

It’s done, and it’ll be out on Bump Foot, a free netlabel.Â I revamped my blog/news pages, made things more dynamic, automatic and RSS-driven by installing WordPress and some other stuff.Â No more hand-editing the RSS and whatnot… expect news/blog updates more often because it’s less of a hassle now.
