Digital Embrace is here!

Time to go back to the roots that Bullet of Reason came from. It’s funny, this is one of the quickest tracks I put together for the new album and I love the way it turned out.

Enough chit-chat… here’s my new track “Digital Embrace”

For those of you who prefer SoundCloud (or are using a mobile device to view this page), you can check it out here!

Buildup (Teardown)

Just released my new track “Buildup (Teardown)” over on my SoundCloud page. Why don’t you head on over there (or just click on the SoundCloud widget here on my page) and rock out! It’s what all the cool kids are doing!

Bullet of Reason covering Celldweller?!

Simple answer to the title of this post….. yes, yes I am.

I’ve really considered covering the original version of the track for awhile now and I finally built up the courage to actually start working on it and eventually decided to take it The Complete Cellout way. It’s still very rough and needs the vocals (which will be fully recorded soon) and then it will be ready for mixing (unless I decide to either scrap the entire thing or want to add more to it….. who knows….)

Enjoy this little sample of my cover of Celldweller – Frozen (Celldweller vs. Blue Stahli)

Remix Black Widow and listen to Breathing the Machine

“So… do you like stuff??”

Anytime I ask anyone if they like stuff is usually when there’s awkward silence and I’m forced to break it somehow. In this case, I’m actually presenting you with stuff that hopefully you’ll like… without the awkward part.

First off, I’d like to say that the title of this entry pretty much says it all. If you’re a remixer or if you want to start remixing…. or if you listened to Black Widow and thought to yourself “Damn, I could do so much better than the original; I want to remix the hell out of that track!” well now’s your lucky day! Head on over to this link and download the remix files for your remixing pleasure! I’d love to hear what you do to it!

Secondly, I’ve also uploaded the demo version of the title track from my upcoming album “Breathing the Machine”. It will be fully mixed and mastered (along with all the other tracks you’ve already heard from the EP as well as some material you haven’t had the chance to hear yet) next year at some time that would pose convenient for both myself and (hopefully) the studios I’ll be mastering them in. So if you wanna take a listen to what Breathing the Machine sounds like, then now’s your chance as it is now live on my SoundCloud page. If you don’t feel like leaving this page and you want to hear it, I’ve embedded the SoundCloud link at the bottom of this post (awwww, how nice of me!).

More goodies to come my friends, 2012 is going to be one hell of a busy year! Thank you all once again for your support and taking the time to listen to the noise that I like to call music!

 

Breathing the Machine EP Ringtones

I’ve made some ringtones from Breathing the Machine EP and they’re compatible with iPhones (.m4r) and any other phones that allow you to use mp3’s as a ringtone. Feel free to go get ’em and start harassing people with your obnoxious loud phones.

If you haven’t picked up the EP yet, then head on over FiXT and pick it up!

Lack of updates brings some more updates

Please forgive the lack of updates/postings. It’s been a really busy couple of days. Mostly jumping from one studio to another and essentially keeping Pro Tools open on any screen possible and just diving right into the tunes.

Been pretty busy putting together some new material for Bullet of Reason. I really hope this new stuff rocks your world just as hard as it’s rocking mine. I really can’t wait to show this stuff to you………… wait a second, I already did a little bit on my Ustream account which can be found by clicking this link. I plan on turning on the camera at random times just to see who’s interested in watching me work on some stuff (which I will warn you now is EXTREMELY boring and probably best that you don’t actually watch it). I’ll most likely be posting the next time I plan on doing a Ustream so that you can follow along and watch and even ask questions. Follow my Twitter and Facebook Page for updates on when I’ll be doing a live show. Since I may even be putting the stream up at random, be sure to check back on my pages often. If you haven’t already picked up the Breathing the Machine EP or you have absolutely no idea what I’m talking about, I strong suggest that you go pick it up in the FiXT Store and let the machine consume your soul!

I’ve also been pretty busy working on new ethereal|Lust material and I can say that we’re both really proud of where this project is going. We really can’t wait to get this full album out to you. If you haven’t already, go pick up the EP in the FiXT Store,on iTunes, or on CDBaby.  More material is coming soon so also head over to our Facebook and Twitter pages for all the updates and shenanigans that we upload.

More updates to come soon my friends…  stay tuned!

EP, ethereal|Lust, PD17 and Step Zer0!

Alright boys and girls here goes…

While the Breathing the Machine – EP is not yet ready for your downloading pleasure I can say that it’s in the final step and will be sent off to FiXT Store over the next few days for them to process and get it up and running in the store.

So why the hell have I been delaying this release? Well, remember how I promised a remix of Chaotika by Martin Harp? Martin ran into a couple studio problems and then moving and then lack of internet. This entire phase made it quite difficult for him to work on and send me the remix. No fault on him (still love you Martin!). I’ve spoke with him and the good people over at FiXT and we’ve come up with a solution…

I don’t want to delay the EP anymore, so I’ll be sending them the EP with 5 tracks (4 originals and 1 remix by Clarck Cunt). Then, when you purchase the EP from FiXT you will be able to re-download the EP once Martin’s remix is complete, free of charge. I will of course notify you of the updated download file so you can go back to the FiXT Store and re-download it. Send me an email with your proof of purchase and I’ll will save it so that when the remix and updated EP becomes available I will personally send you an email telling you to go and re-download the EP from your downloads. If you run into any issues, please let me know and I’ll be sure to sort it out.

With that being said, when can you get the EP? Hopefully in the next week or so! I’ll be sure to let you know as soon as it’s up and running (so stay tuned).

*phew* okay, so part one is done…

As you probably already have heard, I’m also working in my band with the lovely Roxanne in ethereal|Lust. So far, the response has been full of kick ass and positive vibes. We’re both extremely happy that you’ve been enjoying what you’ve been hearing and we promise more to come soon. We’re working on putting together a small little EP over the next few weeks so that you have something else to listen to that isn’t Bullet of Reason.

More details to come. Head on over to our new site at http://www.ethereal-lust.com
We’re also on Facebook and Twitter!

*part 2 down… you still with me?*

You’ve also probably seen based on my most recent posts that I’ve finally brought Platinum Dragon17 back to life with my new track “ReConstruct”. Right now it looks like people are enjoying it which makes me feel confident with bringing PD17 back to life with this style.

I’ve also put the stems up for you to download if you’d like to remix it! You can get the stems here

If you’re remixing the song, send me your finished remix to platinumdragon17@gmail.com or Soundcloud dropbox

*last section, I promise*

Over the weekend I took on the task of remixing Step Zer0’s track “I Will Not Break” and gave it some Bullet of Reason tweaks by adding my own guitar, backup vox and what is apparently full of bad-assery.

Head on over to their website and show some love! You can also join their Facebook Page as an added bonus!

You can go and listen to the song right here.

And that should do it for now! Expect another update over the next few days about the Breathing the Machine – EP and where you can go find it.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to go get me some coffee…

ReConstruct is ready… are you?

I’m going to keep this post short and sweet…

I’ve finally released a full on track under my old alias of Platinum Dragon17. I gave you a teaser and a full on listen and download on the beta track, but for those of you who are followers of Platinum Dragon17 or you’re just interested in hearing something that isn’t Bullet of Reason, then allow me to introduce my comeback for PD17.

Here ya go! This is ReConstruct… ready for you to download to your media player and ready to deliver some punches to your eardrums.

I’m going to keep this short and right to the point…

Bullet of Reason is now available for purchase in the FiXT Store
Yes, I’m pretty damn excited about this! So what else do I have in store to share? Well, the Breathing the Machine – EP is almost done and I’m looking to have it released to your eardrums within the first week or so of December (which is only a couple weeks away!!). And yes, it will also be sold in the FiXT Store.

It will feature “Chaotika”, “Mechanical Holocaust”, and “(Sanity) Through the Eyes of the Insane”… and that’s not all! It will also feature two remixes of Chaotika done by fellow FiXT Remixers, Clarck Cunt and Martin Harp!

That’s all for now… stay tuned as the updates will keep coming!
