    Thanks Eldar.

    I've uploaded a new track, this one messing about in wierd time signatures (try dancing or tapping your fingers to this.... ). If anyone is annoyed by me bumping this thread when I upload a new track, let me know and I'll stop.

    If you can't tap the rhythm for a sustained period of time, but enjoy listening to the piece - my job is done! I was trying to take odd time signatures, mix them up in one piece, and make a coherant piece of music out of them.

    I've added a new track, also the style of the site is more or less finalised, though there are some things I'd like to do that my current knowledge of HTML and CSS is preventing.

    Let me know what you think of the new track (actually it's old, but newly uploaded), I have another piece that's in a similar 'epic' style to the new one, it depends what people think whether I upload it or go with the shorter, easier-to-listen-to pieces. It's 30mb... :|

     

    EDIT: I'm also trying to get a guestbook set up, but no luck so far.

    It's kind of electro-pop. Hard to describe really, I recommend the album. I did my site from scratch in MS Frontpage, and then went into the HTML to hide things like my email address, sort out the background images and the menu that highlights when you move the mouse over... Frontpage puts a lot of rubbish into the HTML code but I'm unsure what is safe to remove at the moment. Plus, it's handy the way you can highlight a paragraph in the webpage, click 'html' and it will go to the code with the same part highlighted that you did on the webpage so you can orient yourself.

     

    EDIT: the site counter is pretty interesting, it allows me to see the part of the world people are visiting from, where they got the URL from, how long they stayed for, and so on... I never knew so much information was given out by visiting a website.

    After reading the new posts in this thread, I've come to the conclusion that goths suck. Oh, wait, I knew that anyway.

    Anyone who misses the irony in these people claiming to be non conformist and unique and 'themselves', is an idiot.

    I was thinking the same thing. But I never visit guestbooks on other sites and just think they look amateurish. Maybe a comment system for each track - do yout hink that would be better, so you could leave comments about specific pieces of music?

     

    EDIT: Is there a way to manually set up a comments system, so that next to each track there'd be a 'comment on this' and a mini forum there? or do i have to pay for one of the big forums (most of the features of which I wouldn't use)

    The vocalist of James just released a solo album, you may want to check it.

    Yes the album Bone, I have listened to it but admit I haven't bought it. The lyrics are good as always but I found the songs all a bit samey... Tim Booth said he wanted to make the tracks more 'dancey' than James, but I felt there was quite a bit of disposable stuff on there in terms of songs and melody. One of the reasons I like James is because their songs and tunes are pretty different.

     

    As to the film Shine, I haven't seen it... I don't believe in the whole 'struggle for your art' thing. I enjoy playing Rachmaninov, and I can play it as well. Some parts are harder to learn than others, but it just takes some practise.... if you enjoy doing something it's a lot easier. I'll try and get some of the 2nd concerto recorded today.

    EDIT: having said that, trying to play from the music just now reminded me why not playing a complex piece of music for a few months is not good for the quality of the piece....

    Actually I have. I like Rachmaninov a lot, and have been learning his 2nd piano concerto for a while now when I've had the time.... I might record some of that later today.

    My avatar is from my favourite album, 'Pleased to Meet You' by James, a British band that broke up in 2001... it's a very dark album, and the black and white image of a straight faced man looking straight at the camera is a really appropriate image for the album, that's all about the darker things in life.... I actually think MCA would really like it, given how he doesn't like happy endings. My signature quote is actually from a track on the album, 'Getting away with it all (messed up)'.

    I'm glad you like the site and the music, music is an outlet for me these days and I'm glad I can use it as such. I'll be uploading more tracks over the next few days/weeks if you're interested.

    Try refreshing the links page.

    I agree I need something on the main page. I'll have to get a photo or something. But mainly it's about the music, for now at least - a promotional tool really and to see if anyone's interested. I just upgraded to 100mb webspace so over the next week I'll be uploading quite a few tracks. Hmm, maybe I should add that to the main page.

    Right, well my experience with goths are people who ponce about in dumb clothes desperate for attention. If there are people who label themselves 'goth' because of their views and beliefs, in the same way people label themselves 'christian' because of their beliefs and views, that's fine. If you dress up like a f*ckwit that's a blatant scream for attention because you don't have any personality traits that distinguish you from the norm that you claim to be so different from, prepare to be labelled as f*ckwit. You can believe whatever you want as far as I'm concerned. Like someone else said, wearing black clothing does not make you a goth. But - correct me if I'm wrong - you can't be a goth UNLESS you wear dumb 'im a loser look at me kick me please please' clothing at some point, right? Or are there goths who always wear completely average, blend-with-the-crowd clothing when they go into a public place?

    And, I will bet you 99% of people who call themselves 'goth' have never read any of the fiction they claim their image from, such as some Jane Austen novels, etc. E.A. Poe excluded.

     

    I would like to repeat the universal fact: goths suck. As do hippies.
