Back On Tracks

That's Dark Ofay Din recording once more. All the demos were written and recorded some time back and now that they have had a good sit I am going back over them one by one to produce the finished articles. Some of the tracks will change quite radically from the demos, others will be more down to a change in sound balance and a few variations added. The lyrics will get their final edit once the music is complete as I have a tendency to change words to fit in better with the sound of a piece.
This should all sound pretty different from anything you have heard before. You can expect machine noise beats, plucked acoustic strings and a whole variation in vocals. Prose has been written for spoken word sections, there are a couple of instrumentals and a fair mix of musical genres. There are some jazz licks, some trad folk themes and a industrial metal fusion all put together with my trusty little machine. In many ways this will be an exercise in style as the combination of genres has not always been easy to blend together and many of the concepts involved surpass the realms of music. However I am seeing the light at the end of the tunnel and will keep you updated if there are any changes to schedule.

Sextant Link

Not being a big fan of banners I've been trying to think up something that serves the same purpose but is more versatile. The above pic is a still of what I have in mind. This version is well over twice the size of the animated version I'm in the process of making. It's based on a sextant which is a navigational tool and that is what inspired me. I'm hoping to get the animation fully functional soon but have had to change file format as the images contain too many variations in colour to come out as a clean cut GIF. So the frames are being made in a PNG format which may involve a few technical issues for me when it comes to getting the finished image up. online and flashing friendly.
Its purpose is to be added to peoples' sites as a link to this site. So I wanted it small as to not be invasive, letting the animation be the eye catching element. This should all be up and rolling during the week and ready to be added in the form of HTML code.

Website Continued...

Images have recently been added to the art gallery, there will be another five posted over the next fortnight. The full size pictures will be available for print at my deviant art account in the near future, I'll fill you in on this closer to the time.
The lyrics section will remain empty for the time being as words are being removed, changed and verses are being switched. The full lyric sheet will be posted with the final edit.
For those of you wondering where the Heartbeat Enigma has gone it is still up, I just haven't made a link for it yet, it to will be coming soon.
Please check out the external links page for an inspiring view of surreal art and join the dark scene forum for a whole inside view of what makes dark art so compulsive and enduring.

Enjoy the trip.

Website

I've been wanting to build a multi page website for some time and as you can see it is happening. I am hoping to keep it user friendly so if there is anything that gets you overly confused let me know. You have a navigation panel up in each right corner that allows you to surf from one page to the other, if you want to do a tour just keep on the very top button and you can click through each section.

Today I'm working on the external links page where there will be a list of sites that will take you a bit further down the rabbit hole, this will expand with time as will the rest of the site.

Sorry if the cupboards look a bit bare at the moment, it's not easy being a one man army but I have been adding to each page everyday and will continue to do so until completion. Hope you enjoy what is up so far, TBC...
