Let's just get to the topics...

TOPIC ONE: FINALLY A FEATURED SONG

For the first time since Strong Force X, I have had a song of mine featured. I have not had a break that long with no songs featured. Thank you all for your support!

TOPIC TWO: ACTIVITY UPDATE

So... I guess I could say that I am trying to be a bit more active before Christmas rolls around. The fact is that I have slowed down a lot in music activity, but I have in no ways been inactive recently on producing music. I have been spending more time on each song rather than making more songs in a said time frame.

I have had a lot of people ask me why I used to make so many songs.
Here is the truth: Last year, I always had settled while making music, and I completely ignored the fact that I did not even spend time on my music to mix. In the recent months, I have tried to spend time on mixing, but I am still bit unsure on a lot of things, but I have gotten advice on how to mix properly.

This is a post mainly for the shoutouts, but I have other news to tell. :)

TOPIC ONE: LOST IN SPACE UPDATES

So... For the story, Chapter 4 is finished. For the music, Chapter 13 has been going very slowly. Don't worry!

What about other news of Lost in Space? As far as music goes, nothing much really. Lost in Space has been on an on and off thing for the recent weeks.

TOPIC TWO: SHOUTOUTS

Now it is time for the first round of shoutouts! PM me if you want any shoutouts!

Seventh Dimension by DerpCat

This song by @DerpCatOfficial is one that I have liked quite a bit. The Xtrullor-like vibes flow very nicely. The last drop is my favorite part of the song.

The Abyss by Three Dimensions Apart (Chliz)

This song by @Chliz is one that I have liked a lot. The fact that it is a dance song with a dubsteppy twist gives it a much better sound, not to mention that the mixing is quite well done.

This one is rather random compared to the past few posts.

TOPIC ONE: LOST IN SPACE PROGRESS

Story: I official finished the third chapter of the Lost in Space story earlier this week.

Music: The 13th chapter of the main Lost in Space story will hopefully be a collaboration with @OfficialHenyx but no word from him yet.

TOPIC TWO: Q&A REQUEST

I have gotten a request about doing Q&A post. The answer is maybe. I have not planned one before, so I may not know what to do at first. Got questions to ask about me? You can PM me through Discord or Newgrounds.

TOPIC THREE: 300TH SONG

After uploading Technotrancy Beats, I only have 8 more songs, and then song after that will be the 300th song. Quite a busy milestone if you ask me.

@TestUser472 had already questioned the decline in my music activity, but, in fact, my music activity is more or less of the same. I have been spending more time in producing than I usually do (mainly with trying to grasp on mixing/mastering the best I can).

TOPIC FOUR: USING MY MUSIC

I have gotten a question a few months ago about using my music.

Here is my answer: As long as you credit me for any of my music you use, I am completely fine with it.

exhales... The past two or so weeks have been quite a whirlwind because of school, but that seems to have not stopped me that much from making some music! Speaking of music, let's check out why I have been doing lately...

TOPIC ONE: NEWGROUNDS REMIX COMPETITION IS BORN

This year is the first annual Newgrounds Remix Competition, also known as NGRMC. It is a competition that is hosted by @Zophar and is an amazing competition, so DON'T MISS OUT YOU HAVE UNTIL OCTOBER 1ST! Here is the thread for everything you need to know about NGRMC.

Here is the playlist that I decided to make for Zophar, because why not.

Here is my NRGMC entry!

TOPIC TWO: LOST IN SPACE HAS REVIVED

I am estatic to announce that chapters 1 and 2 of the story HAVE FINALLY BEEN FINISHED!!!! A huge thanks to @Lamby07 who had both some direct and indirect inspiration given to me. (and we were only talking about his side story ;P)

Anyways, the discord group has double over the weekend, and we can gladly use a lot more! Please like here for the Discord group whether you are a musician, animator, or simply an artist.

As for music-related news for Lost in Space, @TheFantasticZ is around his second chapter, and our collab is still yet to come! Although the plans may change a little bit, but the hopes are still on having it on both the main story and his side story! :D

TOPIC THREE: BLAST FROM THE PAST RETURNS

It was not that long ago since I did A Revolutionary War of America.

Well... Stay tuned for the fourth chapter, set to take place in the Civil War...

The music has gotten crazier, the song will have more movements, and much more!

Just remember, for those of you that have listened to the other three songs, I still don't plan to use anything synthetic.

Back in late May and early June, I opened up a server for discussions and assisstance strictly for the Lost in Space story collab. I have not gotten many people or much attention (I only had 9 people before today). I would like more people to help out whether you are a musician, animator, or an artist (if you join just to observe, that is okay too, but everybody should at least help a little bit). Animators, although not a top priority, can also help out if they wish to!

Anybody who is interested should click the link in the first sentence.

See you later and have a good Labor Day! -JK

First off, someone asked me why my recent news posts having been consisting of multiple topics. Well, that was no the original intention, but it was at first for a news post talking about more than one thing I was doing at once. Later on, it just became a normal thing for me. This news post will be somewhat similar to that.

TOPIC ONE: BREAK

Ever since I uploaded The Dangerous Path to Home for NGUAC 2018, I was on a needed break for music. Doing a song for such an amount of time in such a short time span sure did take a lot of motivation, inspiration, and energy. 45 hours spent in just 10 days is a lot of time, if it is not too much.

TOPIC TWO: COLLABORATION WITH LAMBY07

I am doing a Lost in Space collaboration with @Lamby07. The (little) twist to this is that it will be both the fourth chapter for his side story and Chapter 11 for the main story. I can't wait to finish the song. :D

TOPIC THREE: MOONLIGHT SONATA COVER UNDERWAY

After much consideration (while I am in the orchestral phase again), I am finally doing a cover on Moonlight Sonata.
If you want a preview, click this link.

TOPIC FOUR: FUTURE COLLABORATIONS

This is more of a "two topics in one" kind of topic.

1) I might be collaborating with @Tristex and @vidu3k333 in the near future. Stay tuned for these two collabs as time progresses. :D

2) If you want to collaborate with me (I use FL Mobile, LMMS, and Ableton Intro), you can PM me and we can discuss the details. I am free to work with anybody as long as it is within the three mentioned DAWs. :D

This will be mainly a NGUAC post, so let's get to it! :D

TOPIC ONE: NGUAC SUBMISSION

As of today, my submission is now uploaded! Go check it out here!

This took 45 LONG, RESTLESS, ACHING hours to complete, and I (mostly) do not regret making it!

As a big bonus, I was fooling around with FL's ZGameEditor Visualizer, when I made this for the song.

TOPIC TWO: NGUAC SHOUTOUTS

Just a few shoutouts to other people...

@Jessie-Yun The Last Defense
@Ryzmik Infinite Skyline
@vidu3k333 Incertae

Let's just get to the main stuff...

TOPIC ONE: LOST IN SPACE UPDATES

A little change to what might be happening for Lost in Space. I will still collab with @TheFantasticZ for Lost in Space, but I may do it for his side story (we may still colab for the main story, if still possible).

TOPIC TWO: TRUTH 3 MEGACOLLABORATION UPDATES

As of last night, I have just gotten word that @TheFantasticZ is now working on his part for Truth 3. I am still waiting for the other melodies to be finished (once TFZ is finished, that means me and two other people are left for melodies).

TOPIC THREE: I MADE NGUAC!!!!

Now to the main topic. I did, in fact, made NGUAC!!!! Placing 27th out of 37th in all who passed, I made a better tryout than last year's (which may have been a mistake -_-). I was thinking of making something similar to A Disastrous Escape, but I realized that I will no doubt be disqaulified for copying one of my own works and changing the progression (does not seem original at all if you know what I mean). I might try something different. Before the idea I had just mentioned, I wanted to do a sequel to my NGUAC tryout submission, but then again, NOT ORIGINAL. The idea I want is actually to be more cinematic than A Disastrous Escape. No other ideas yet, but even though I may not make it into the final round, I still hope to score well. :D

Also a big congrats to @BlueOceans @Kirefyx @Ryzmik @Zophar for making NGUAC!!!! :D

Let's just get to the updates...

TOPIC ONE: INDEPENDANCE DAY AND NGUAC 2018

I am decided to put two topics in one just to reduce repetition. This past Sunday, I finished A Revolutionary War of America, just in time for Independence Day today. It is also, my entry for NGUAC this year. :D

TOPIC TWO: NGADM 2018

Judging is currently in progress, so let's hope the best for all of us for those results. :D

TOPIC THREE: LOST IN SPACE UPDATES

Chapter 8 will be released tomorrow. I have made it quite differently from the rest of the chapters (which is actually kind of the thing you may have noticed after Chapter 4). It will be a fusion of three genres: dubstep, house, and trap.

One collab will soon take off (pun unintended) as soon as @TheFantasticZ finished his part of the collab. :D

I am kind of late on this, but I GOT 100 FANS!!!! :O

Such a milestone for unknown musicians... I am finally there!! :D

A BIG thank you to all of my fans out there!!!! :D :D
