SAMM NEILAND

sammneiland:

i’ve been working on a band project with my friend connor for too fucking long a while now, and i’m working on one song in particular, mostly writing vocals and lyrics.

so here’s a sample from the middle of the song just to give you a taste.

also to emulate analogue tape sounds because i can fucking do it if i want to.

it’s going to be from the first album (which i’m not sure if its going to be ep length or lp length at this point) for our band aparatov called mk5. a music project about an androids, future cities, and a lonely and confused a.i. unit.

i’m hoping to release it by the end of the year.

i know i never post anything really about music i’m working on… for good reason, but i guess it can’t hurt to give a little sneak peak.

sammneiland:

yeup. sorry it took so long. i’d kinda… forgotten about it and then i was having issues getting my hands on some album art to use and i wasn’t going to release it without album art.

that would be irresponsible.

anyway yes. go ahead and download it for free. just a bunch of fanventure based music.

like i said, free. so you’ve no reason not to download it.

go forth.

(special thanks to paula for the album art. very much appreciated <3 )

~”Sparks” Single Available Now on Bandcamp~

So E.K. Weaver does a comic by the name of The Less Than Epic Adventures of TJ and Amal which she has been releasing both as webcomic series as well as on print. For the print version of Volume 2 (which can be ordered here), she asked me to write a song to be used in the comic which is how Sparks came to be, inspired by both of the characters as well as their experiences thus far in the comic.

If you had pre-ordered the Wanderlust Edition of Volume 2, you’ll be getting the song as a freebie download coupon. For everyone else though, you can download it from Bandcamp for $1 (or more if you’re feeling generous).

Thanks to E.K. for giving me the opportunity to make a song for this fantastically amazing comic, and thanks you everyone who check’s it out! Have a wonderful evening! <3

if you could all be sweethearts, i’d love if you would like/add me or whatever it is i don’t know how them facebooks work.

Boy MK. 5

my cover of “lotus flower”

music and lyrics by radiohead

(if you guys want a download, please tell me and i’ll upload it somewhere)

because i realized my other tumblr was more or less just a place for me to post whatever the hell i wanted, i decided to make a second tumblr as an official “blog” (whatever the hell that means) to post my own personal music related stuff.

no ask page.

no memes/game things.

not even a very fancy looking page.

that way it makes for less confusion. what i will post here are:

-production/studio photos

-solo music samples

-lyric samples

-possibly video blog posts

-links to performances

and pretty much anything else that gives you, the fans (all 5 of you) a better idea of whats going on with me musically.

thanks for your time. i’m going to bed now.

vickyblogging replied to your post: i need to learn to dance.

arrested dancing?????

yeah, its basically movements that are sudden and more like an involuntary spasm.

you know, like a robot having a major malfunction.

but i need to learn from someone who specializes in.

robotic style movements, particularly of the arrested/glitched variety.

katsplanet:

yahoo wants to buy tumblr so i’m making an early prediction as to what would happen if this were to take place

so this is their plan after losing geocities.

serkret:

it’s kind of weird to think that this

can elicit such a strong reaction in so many people

its just two colors

and yet

wasn’t that like a half life 2 mod where you were being narrated the whole time?

sounds like a hoot. i’m rather fond of games that are more like just… virtual experiences.

you know, i’ve really had no desire to actually look into playing the game, if only because none of it really looks all that interesting to me.

like i totally get that its trying to be cerebral, but at the same time it seems like its almost trying to hard in that aspect?

that and meh, another turn based RPG.

i already know what that’d mean.

i would be named aquaman and no one would give a shit about me.

like.

please.

shakumba replied to your photo: why is it i look better BEFORE the shower.

both look good? you should test drive a beard sometime

why is it i look better BEFORE the shower.

WAKE UP AMERICA.

you’re all missing the fun we’re having on miiverse

hi i made a dirkjake playlist on 8track because i’m a big fucking loser i do whatever the fuck i want its fun.

sassyeol:

So this was my project to represent time for class. I took the oldest picture I could find and repainted it. Then I took one of my newest paintings and redid it in the style of the old picture. Drawing that hurt my soul I’m so sorry chanyeol.  

absolutely fantastic.

unfortunately, music doesn’t give me much opportunity or leverage (if any at all) in the aspects of control over the plot or characters in comparison to illustration.

the plights of your craft being seen as a passive/secondary aspect.

senpai is a beautiful lady…
