So I keep coming back to this song it seems (Cloudless, which I made almost 2 years ago now).  The key is just very easy for me to play on the spot with I guess.  Lots of changeups in the main melody compared to Cloudless and Cloudful (the other variation/piano solo).  I'm hoping to make this one an orchestral track this time, but maybe I'll have a piano solo version as well.


Right now it's just piano - I can't seem to ever record it at a time I'm not busy with a pending midterm or class project.  And now I have to try to find time to work on both this and "Trickling Winds" as well.  Sigh. <_<

Seems like the only projects I can commit myself to lately are songs - and not even long ones at that.  Current song I'm working on is just experimentation with drums.  It'll be my first time actually using heavy percussion so we'll see how it goes.


Somehow I keep starting off working on the climax and then have to figure out what the beginning should be...

     This is something I've been meaning to do since I first got my Virtual Stock Trading System online.  If you go to the website now, you will find a new link on the navigation bar called Stocks, which will take you to a modestly detailed section of the site on how to invest, stocks to discuss, and whatnot.

     Most useful will probably be the "how to invest" part, aka the Trader's Guide as it is called on the site.  If you don't know how to invest yet or have been wanting to learn for a while, definitely check it out.  The guide is basically most of the factors that I consider when I choose a stock and what I consider most important.  If it seems rather short, it is.  Trading isn't that hard, but you have to be very consistent.  Some of the traditional investors may be put off by this style of thinking, so I warn you to read it with an open mind or bypass it entirely.

     The layout and content is still being worked on, but definitely check it out and let me know what you think:
    
     Any suggestions let me know.  And hopefully I see you trading as well.

     Yet another abandoned song I picked up on from more than a year ago.  This one is more simple and uplifting, which is ironic since I was working on the "Fraying Strands" at the same time.  Some of you might remember me playing this on piano a few times, but the piano alone isn't that interesting - hopefully the other instruments help here.

      I had more ideas in mind but haven't been able to add anything for about 2 weeks now, so I think it's time to wrap up.  Sadly, this is one of the shorter pieces I've made in a while.  Suggestions and feedback welcome as usual.

     It seems like I'm running out of new ideas lately, so I'm just going back to old songs I haven't finished.  This is another one of the songs I stopped working on a long time ago but picked up again recently, this one from January 2011.

     I basically woke up with the beginning of the song in my head and eventually played out the rest once I got comfortable with the key signature of the song.  There was supposed to be a violin playing by itself somewhere in the song, but I've forgotten where I wanted it. I guess I'm leaving it as a piano solo based on the feedback I've gotten so far. The second half of the song was played as an improvisation all in one go, so sorry for any repetitiveness.
