News Roundup

Wow a lot has happened this past couple weeks! First, I'm still doing the Musical Replacement Initiative - we're currently in Round 3 and the voting should start soon!

Second, I just released a new set of songs! It's the b-sides to my upcoming album - I decided to go against the grain and release them before the actual main album. These songs are very pop-py.

Third, all of my music is now "name-your-price"! So you can get it for free if you enter $0.00 on ANY of my EPs, albums, or tracks. Please consider donating a little bit though - even a dollar or two helps :)

Finally, this weekend (read: tomorrow) I'm leaving for the Reno GAME Expo with my friend Michael, a.k.a. Flexstyle! A couple of the folks from OCR will be there speaking on a panel, and I'll be giving out music demo CDs to any interested game developers. I hope to see you there!

Musical Replacement Initiative - Season One, Round Two (VOTING ROUND, ENDS MAY 19; MIXES UP) Competitions

Hey everyone, this is a great competition that I entered where everyone makes original tracks in a style similar to specific song from a specific video game. Go listen and vote for your favorite!

This is an awesome Sonic CD tribute project that I am proud to be a part of! Please take a listen to this little sample of all the great tracks that so many great artists have contributed!

Motivation

I was talking to my wife about some of the musical-related things I have planned for the next few days, and she said, "I wish... I wish you would give up. Not music, but give up on your 'dream' of making it big."I had to think about this for a while. Yeah, I still want to make it big, who doesn't? But that really isn't what's in the forefront of my mind anymore.

As a follower of Christ, everything I do is for Him, or it should be. So if I'm living that way, I'm going to want to do everything I do with excellence... wether I always do is another story, especially if you take into consideration the learning curve.

Well, I'm definitely learning in music, pretty much constantly lately; my involvement in the OCR community - particularly their Sonic CD project and various competitions - has caused lots of musical growth for me. I don't want that to stop. I make music because I love to do it, and if it makes a few people happy along the way, that's fantastic. On top of that, I want to learn to do it better and better, because I'm doing it for Christ. And hopefully, because of that, it will bless more and more people as I go.

I tried explaining that to my wife, but it's late and I fumbled my words, like I often do. So wether or not she reads this, I had to write it down for myself.

Thanks for reading, and God bless you.

My goal is to speak the truth in love. There are a lot of people speaking the truth with no love, and there are a lot of people talking about love without much truth. And let’s not get stuck in guilt. Most good things begin with a little guilt, but they never end there.

Shane Claiborne

My thoughts:

This applies pretty well to just about everyone. However, you might change a word if a great portion of your life is defined by one of the two following activities:

Singers might replace “speak” with “sing”. The point is still the same.

Visual artists might replace “speak” with “uniquely portray”. Again, the purpose remains about truth and how we’re projecting it.

Getting stuck in guilt can be a serious issue for truth-seekers, because so much of our internal and external worlds are muddied with falsehood. I think the guilt of our lack of truth lasts only as long as we ignore the cure: Truth himself.

My newest track, a Super Mario Bros. REEEEMIX

[kingtigermusic]

First in a series of "performance" videos featuring me (KingTiger) playing/singing some new songs, some old songs, and some other random things (like a mini djembe). This one is a song called "Horrid Red Things" which I plan to release on my new album in a month or two. Please to enjoy!

[kingtigermusic]

I know the remix contest is over, but I've always had a thing for Owl City... so I whipped up this remix this morning. Please listen and I hope you like it!
