[NO BOUNDARIES ON BANDCAMP] [NO BOUNDARIES ON NEWGROUNDS]

About this time last year I put out a digital EP called Almost Orgasmic via BandCamp. At the time I was looking at that album like it was my best work to date. I'm equally happy with the work that was put into this more recent album however and hope people will give it a chance. If you don't have the money for purchases feel free to download tracks here on Newgrounds. I've compiled a No Boundaries playlist for easy listening and access.

Before I get any further, shout out to MindChamber and Garnet-Frost for helping me design a new look. I commissioned both of them on similar missions to draw up portraits. This was inspired by events of Robot Day so the general theme was "make Quarl look like a robot and enjoy yourselves while doing it." The end result is two portraits that I'm still gushing over. I didn't think at the time to mention to Garnet that I was working on an EP, so MindChamber had more directions that were given. It was a small oversight on my part but hopefully everyone is happy :)

Back onto the EP, I've always loved the feeling that comes with seeing how many people are downloading my tracks. I get off on the idea that other people are listening to my work while driving around with their friends or packing bongs in college dorms. It's why I continue to offer my music for free despite poor BandCamp sales. I also have a Patreon account with one follower but haven't activated it in a while because I feel like it's improperly taking advantage of my friend Sorohano. Go give him some love, his Jazz/Rock fusion is fucking amazing.

Money has never been very important to me, even when I needed it. I currently have a good life with certain luxuries that I'm thankful for but it hasn't always been that way. I know what it feels like to starve for days because money was tight. I know what it means to hustle to keep a shitty broken roof over your head. I'm in no such danger anymore so please, if you don't have much money or your future is looking bleak DO NOT BUY MY ALBUM. Each individual track will remain free on Newgrounds. If there are other things you can spend your money on, I'd advise it.

I've put off releasing this EP so that I could master everything and upload/share RSN files for all the tracks but I'm losing interest in all the extra foot work and my upload speeds can be a little grating at times. I'll try uploading those RSN files later and will update this post when all that tedious shit is done but feel free to download some of the RSN files that are already uploaded to my googledrive. These files are meant to be used for remixing, learning, and generally having fun. If you use my files please let me know and show me the results. Remember to give me some social credit via tagging and linking. If you do not own a copy of Reason I might recommend downloading the trial version so that you can open these RSN files :)

Sounds Nothing Alike

I Only Shine When Standing In Your Reflection

Completely off the subject of music, winter is coming to Colorado and all the work we've put into the homestead has been paying off. Tom and I moved off grid back in late May and have spent this time renovating a cabin in the mountains. I don't want to risk taking credit for too much, Tom has incredible engineering skills. The solar array we put up generates enough electricity from 56 panels to charge our batteries every morning, heat the house on electric, run servers, hydroponics, and luxuries like fridges & freezers. Tom just added more battery capacity this week so we can safely run for 5 days on stored battery power. If the power system were to fail or we experience constant overcast we can run a propane generator to charge the batteries or run the house. We got all the work done on the cisterns too. We have enough water underground to last the winter and can harvest snowfall from the roof via gutters & roof cleats. We heat the roof so snow melt will run into two 55 gallon basement drums that pump gradually into our underground tanks. Food has been stored, warm clothes purchased.

We're happy to see the first actual snowfall. We're still waiting on the snow mobile, should arrive within the next ten days. Hopefully the side by side is the only emergency vehicle we need but it's good to have a redundant UTV. One of our custom glass windows arrived broken and couldn't be quickly replaced so the work we've put into enclosing the porch has to be finished in the spring. We still got enough work done to use the space. We raised forms, installed insulation, OSB board, protective (but temporary) t-111 siding, a pellet stove, and enough flooring for the stove. We got 4 windows up but because of that stupid broken window situation I have to look at this all winter:

Woe is me, but seriously I couldn't be happier. The work on the homestead will continue but we've accomplished everything we needed to consider our efforts a complete success. Thank you for stopping by and remember to check out No Boundaries!! Also remember not to buy it because fuck me, it's free on Newgrounds! Seriously, just download it for free! This is free. Download it for free >:C
