\"democdcoverinks\"<\/a>So I haven’t posted here in a month. This is too long to skip posting, according to the expert opinions that I’ve found on other blogs.<\/p>\n

But I haven’t been sitting on my thumbs, doing nothing. I finally have some music tracks posted online. And, I’ve started doing the art for a CD cover for an instrumental demo.<\/p>\n

The tentative name for the project is Bakuretsu Riot! – bakuretsu<\/em> means “exploding” in Japanese. I thought this was a good, old-schooly punk style name for a virtual rock band. To the left is the rough line art for the demo cover, without the coloring and lettering obviously.<\/p>\n

The idea behind the project is essentially a manga, or cartoon band. I would animate videos for it but, at this point, animation is a little beyond our resources. The characters came from some other writing that I had stashed, and the songs are from some old sessions that I did with programmed digital drums (I am not a drummer at all). There actually are vocals recorded for these songs, but I mixed them without my voice because I’d like to eventually release them with a female vocalist. They were written specifically with a female vocalist in mind. Trust me, you don’t want to hear me<\/em> sing them.<\/p>\n

I made a Bandcamp page for the demo<\/a>, so the songs are actually available for download (although I don’t know if anybody would want to buy the instrumentals), really I just wanted the songs to be up for listening.<\/p>\n

Anyway, here they are:<\/p>\n
