Many apologies for being spammy about this, but there were some errors in the posted version of A Matter of Time that were driving me nuts. I’ve fixed them and cleaned up the mix a little. I think this version should work better. The version of the track at the original post should now be updated with the new version if you downloaded it before and would like to update your copy.

New Track: A Matter of Time

irfon — Thu, 28 Mar 2013 03:13:45 +0000

So, I bet the last thing you expected today was a new Ramp track! For the past while I’ve been trying my hand at a lot of different things, doing less music. However, there have been a couple of things simmering, and one of them finally settled out, so here it is! I hope you enjoy.

Yup, I’m still here. I’ve been working on a few things, but none of them have a lot of forward motion at the moment. This started out as a break from those tracks, and I wound up liking how it turned out.

New Track: Hesi-Re

I debated a lot about holding back tracks until I had an EP or album and then putting them out in that format, but then decided, given the intermittent nature of this all, to just go ahead and keep releasing these as I finish them up.

This one took a while — just shy of a year, off and on. In part it’s because there’s a lot of fine editing, but mostly it’s because I kept getting stuck and back-burnering it, then pulling it up later and working through it. It definitely was a “butt in chair” project, rather than a “whirlwind of inspiration” project. However, I think that, after poking at it again and again, it’s finally hit a point where I’m happy with it and ready to toss it out there. (As it’s been in development for so long, I suspect that some of you may have heard earlier versions.)

I *think* that the Flattr thing should be set up now, so if you use Flattr and like the track, feel free to click it!

SoundCloud

SoundCloud seems to be taking off by leaps and bounds. I admit that I’m WAY behind the curve on that. However, I’ve just made my most recent album, “Everything Comes Around,” available there. If you’re an ardent SoundCloud user, you can check it out and do all the usual SoundCloudey stuff (commenting, etc.) here. I’m waiting to see how useful I find it before I consider uploading the whole back catalogue, as I’d need a Pro account for that. If you’d like me to start doing the SoundCloud thing regularly, let me know!

Flattr

My friend Lora tipped me off about Flattr, a system for making micropayments for content creators and bloggers whose stuff you enjoy. It seems like a pretty workable idea, actually, so I’ve enabled Flattr buttons on all my stuff. That way, if people like a new track, they can click to add it to their Flattr scheme for the month. Likewise with the Music page in general, and so on. Only time will tell if this system will see a lot of use or not, but it was pretty easy to sign up for, and I think I’ll be putting some money in it to use elsewhere as well.

New Track and New Album!

irfon — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 03:09:28 +0000

So, I’ve gathered all the stray tracks from 2009 to present into an album and titled it, “Everything Comes Along.” For the most part, there’s no need to download it again if you’ve been downloading the individual tracks, but if you want the correct album artwork, track numbering, title, ID3 info., etc., then it might be simpler to just grab the zip file than to edit everything by hand.

Of course, I wouldn’t do this as a strictly administrative task. There’s another new track, the last of the album (both in the sense that I won’t be putting anything further on this album and literally track 12 of 12 on the album). It’s called Pixel Part 2. For those wondering what the relation is with Pixel Part 1 (from Orchard Days), given that they’re aesthetically somewhat dissimilar, Pixel Part 2 is comprised entirely of sampled material from Pixel Part 1.

Anyway, if you’re just here for the listen, here’s the new track. I hope you enjoy!

New Track: Reflector

Surprise! First new track of 2012. I’m not sure what else there is to say here other than that I hope you enjoy it! Also, as always, I love hearing your feedback. If you listened, please let me know what you thought!

Whee technology!

So, it turned out that one of the crossposting plugins that I thought was actually working wasn’t, which occasioned me not only fixing that one, but getting crossposting tools for ALL THE PLACES. So stuff I post here should now automagically show up everywhere. Whee! (Yes, I’m certain that this was worth a post.)

New Track: Sacrifice

Hey, folks! So I’m done with the much-talked-about new track. I hope that you enjoy it. As usual, feedback is quite welcome. Also, if you like it, please feel free to share it and/or this post far and wide — RTs / reblogs / reposts / Likes mean a lot to me.
