Updates!!

It's been a while since I blogged, so here are some updates! Most obvious, of course, are the changes I've made to the layout here. I'm also in the midst of revamping the look of mine and A-KICKS' MySpace pages, so look out for that to be finished soon! As of yesterday, a combined Full Circle MySpace page is now available, as well as a Fan Page on Facebook!! If you have an account with Facebook, then please head on over and become a fan! ;D

As far as music goes, new Full Circle tracks are underway, and one in particular is especially close to completion. Now that it's April, and I have just over a month until I head over to Japan, I'm starting to get really hyped about making more progress in music! We have lots of songs that are partially done at this point, so I'm betting that once I'm in Tokyo with A-KICKS we will motivate each other to get things done.

In the meantime, keep your eyes peeled for more updates here (I swear I'll actually post something), and head on over to the new 663A Blog to see what our fellow crew members are getting up to~!

Edit: Two recent collaboration tracks with DJ and emcee Dr. Peacemaker have been added to MySpace! (Nevermind that they've been finished for moooonths and were already available on his MySpace...! hahaha)

I Lost My Shoes!

Okay, so they were never really my shoes... they were actually up for auction on eBay. But still! I had formed an attachment to the orange kitten heels over the last days of the auction... only to be outbid at the last minute. haha~ Truthfully, I'm not surprised; this was my first time bidding in an auction, so I'm in the minuses on the auction-savvy scale.

I could go on and on about this (I actually just backspaced a paragraph elaborating on my kitten heel woes), but I'd rather get to the music stories! So! So... well, there's not too much to tell, actually. It seems that I've fallen into a creative rut in the past 2 weeks..! Hopefully I can get that sorted soon, though. I'd love to get some more tracks closer to completion! (Including a certain Japanese track...)

But, congratulations to Navarrow, AkA Koroshiya, Dr. PeaceMaker, and Shige for getting some exposure for their Sweet Girl track! And even more congratulations to A-KICKS for getting some great composing projects in Hiroshima!! Hopefully there'll be even more developments to mention soon--look out for news in the next month or so! Until then, Imma keep pushing myself~ Wish me luck. ♥

Limits & Laughter

So, on Wednesday I recorded a short vocal part at the end of a song that includes Dr. Peacemaker (deejay and emcee) and AKA KOROSHIYA, as well as two other performers. I figured that it's been almost a week since my voice came back, and I haven't really been coughing so I should be good to go... but while recording, I discovered that my vocal range isn't the same!! I can't get some of those high notes that I could before... so I guess my voice still has some warming up to do...

Also in the last couple of days I became unsatisfied with some new lyrics (and flow) that I put together for some new music tracks... but thankfully, last night I made some decent progress and things are getting back on track!

As far as the flow is concerned, I always want to pay attention to the little details early on. Often the recording stage is when some of those nuances can be figured out as well, but somehow I don't feel right about going into a recording session with only the basic idea of how it will work. Does that make sense? haha

On a completely different note... it looks like A-KICKS is being missed! (albeit with his former spelling... haha) I really love facebook sometimes. Sorry I stole your photos, Gim!
