Did you know I have a YouTube account?

Yes, it is full of wonderful videos. Well, not exactly full, but it is the place to find some exclusive songs that you won’t normally find on here or Soundcloud.

 

With that said, here is a link to the channel for you to subscribe to: http://www.youtube.com/user/WidthOfEm

 

…and a video here for your enjoyment. :3

There will be music soon! It’s been a while, indeed.

So it has.

All is great though. Woke up early, feeling rough, but after a few hours of being awake, I grabbed my keyboard and started composing. I speak to you as I’m halfway through writing a new song, and I must say, it is sounding very very nice indeed. Sounds almost like early Depeche Mode on steroids. That was bound to happen though, since I’ve been listening to lots of Depeche Mode recently. Never really liked them when I was younger, was always more of a Human League fan. Either way, back to the song!

 

If I’m happy with the end result, I’ve been planning to make a music video in the style of this image that I created two days ago.

All the test shoots look really good, so hopefully, once the song is complete I can start planning the storyboard and direct the video.

 

Enough babbling, I’m going back to work on the song.

I’ll update soon.

It’s not currently “pretty swell” R.I.P. Edd Gould

So, I’ve only just heard about the sad death of Edd Gould from Eddsworld. Edd had been battling cancer for about 6 years until the Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia unfortunately took over. He died on Sunday 25th March 2012 shortly after going into hostpital following a fever. Edd will be sorely missed and so will his animations that brought a smile to everyone’s face.

 

 

I had known and supported Edd since his early animations on the art site ‘Sheezyart’. I used to provide free music and opening themes for some of his animations. Edd always knew what he wanted when it came to the music and was also very specific with his requests, which was great for me at the time since many other animators didn’t really mind what I composed for them. It was nice to have the direction, listening, tweaking, and to then have the finished pieces used in his animations. From modern remakes of early 90s cartoon show themes to even a Russian version of the ‘Austin Powers’ theme ‘Soul Bossa-Nova’, that was fun to do. After all that, it was great to see Edd’s fan base grow rapidly and then again when he joined YouTube to gain subcribers and plenty of features.

 

It’s just a real and unfortunate shame that he’s no longer here to keep doing what he loved best. To make animations for all of you.
R.I.P. Edd Gould (28 October 1988 – 25 March 2012).

Taking The Time To Compose

Written by . Posted at 2:40 am on March 15th, 2012

My keyboard must be feeling neglected at the moment, I haven’t used it since the start of the month. That’s all about to change though. It’s 2:40am. What a great time it is for composing some music, and what better music to be composing than Hip-Hop. :D

Yes, I’ve been discovering more and more great Hip-Hop tracks lately, and it has really gotten me in the mood to create some of my own. Even though I’m not quite up to scratch with getting the right tone and feel, I’m working on it.

If all goes well, I’ll put the track forward to be a possible Bear Face Boot song (don’t know who Bear Face Boot are? I’ll be writing an article about them in the future).

 

Until then, have a great day! :3
