Traveling & Cool People, Cisco Live

If anyone out there is worried about me, fuck off, I'm doing great. I'm always doing great irl. I don't have a filter for Newgrounds though, y'all get to witness the worst of me whoop whoop, shit posts honk honk, clown time.

I'm making a drive to Rochester NY to see some of my husband's family this month. I'll be stopping by the Record Archive to see an old friend from Uni on the 21st. Her fam owns the Record Archive. If you want to swing by you can try to co-ordinate a time with me but it's gonna be a really small window of oppertunity. If you miss me you can always ask Stormy Storms what I look like. I'm so excited to see someone from a past life that I just wish I had more time to spend in that city.

I'll also be in San Diego the week of Cisco Live, June 8th to the 12th. My husbands the geek of the house. I doubt I'll be able to sneak into the event but when he's doing cool tech stuff I'll be roaming the streets getting into knife fights and looking for bath salts to smoke. If anyone wants to knife fight me, let me know. I wanted to test out my butterfly knife. We'll probably do some cool museums and stuff. I haven't done much research on San Diego, what's good there?

COOL PEOPLE:

Don't think I've ever done a post featuring other artists but I think it's finally time. I was having a really deep conversation recently and I realized I should mention a few hotties to show some gratitude for the inspiration or weird vibes they've gifted me:

ADR3-N

I'm sure many of you in the audio community know of ADR3-N. I get a little frustrated when awesome people have less followers than me. This can't be allowed. I mean, likes and followers are a meaningless platitude but this girl is a champion and you should go give her a follow right now. She has range, talent, and a heart of mother fucking diamonds. She packages up samples/resources and offers them for free. Here's a few tracks that blew me away:

Sorohanro

This guy is my daddy, don't tell him I said that though. I creep enough people out as it is. I've been following him since highschool circa 2006. He's a jazz master trumpet playing music genius and a god-tier music educator. He's another artist that deserves way more followers than me, it should be a crime if you're not following him. I'm only seeing one collab with him credited this year but he keeps himself busy in the real world. His YouTube Channel is splendid. He sells his own sample packs too, one or two of which are on my hard drive from a very old contest. Here's some crazy cool videos he's uploaded:

Bleak-Creep

This girl is my fucking idol, if you've followed her or me at all you probably know that though. I found out that she was in the Netherlands recently and making power moves towards aquiring a work visa there. I don't blame her, America is a silly place right now. This girl is a part of my soul and I've been dragging my feet on some music for one of her games. If you think you can pull off some spooky Luigi mansion musics, drop her some audio samples and tell her I sent you. I'm feeling really guilty about a lack of inspiration lately and she doesn't deserve a lazy hack. There is so much audio talent on this website and I'd love for her game to shine!

LD-W

Another music person that deserves way more followers. I'm not sure if he hates me or not right now... he runs the NG Discord channel and I was a fucking hot mess in it. I'm realizing I need to at least apologize for some weird feelings. Sorry guy, I just love sex and drugs too much and can't contain that energy for your Discord channel. I can't help myself in front of the children. I'm not coming back, I'M RUNNING AWAY AND I'M DOING DRUGS AND I'M HAVING UNPROTECTED SEX AND YOU CAN'T STOP ME D:<

His music is fucking awesome though, I love how dedicated he's been to his symphonic dark tunes. When you have the integrity to develop a certain sound for a long time it eventually gets polished like nothing else. He also deserves massive credit for keeping that Discord channel running, hosting some massive contests, and generally being a really good person. Here's a few gems in that elderitch horror vibe:

G2961

Ok, I'm not going to lie. His name kind of confused me for a minute. Screen names like this can momentarily put me at unease because Newgrounds has has a small history of artists that were unauthentic and his tunes are SO FRESH but he's earned his place. More so than most actually, he's been very active in the music community here and writes some killer music. I actually envy his sound, top stuff! I'm happy to see he includes screenshots of his projects, so many people upload their music and provide very little data so when the guts of a project gets shared it's fucking candy:

Everratic

Another brilliant symphonic guy, I've had the privlidge to score a couple of his tunes for the AIM which is the art inspired music contest currently ongoing and run by Random-storykeeper. NEW YORK REPRESENT, drops nothing but fire, brutal stuf:

Alright, I could keep going but I should save some people for another post and it's unhealthy to spend all my time on the computer. Mom and dad want me to go play outside. Instead I'm gonna go shove my head up a guitar and wear it like a hat, peace <3 <3
