a short and overdue update

Just a quick post to say that while it’s been over a quarter of a year since my last post (seriously, how does that happen?) I haven’t forgotten about this blog, and am going to try to pick it back up and actually do something with it. For a start, it can now be found simply at asecretinthesignal.com which I feel is pretty sharp. Go ahead and try clicking it, you know you want to… (The novelty still hasn’t worn off for me yet.) Also, evidenced by the shiny new button on the top of the page, I have a Twitter account now. No promises on me having any idea what to do with it, mind, but it’s there. More to come before long, I do sincerely hope.

music!

Nothing new to those who’ve been aware of me for a while, but I’ve been playing around with my dormant-since-its-creation SoundCloud account and thought this blog would look nice with a full song. I’m learning (or, rather, reaffirming my knowledge) that I have absolutely no idea how to utilize tags. And that asking me for a genre label for my music is about equal to asking me to explain it via flag semaphore. Also the artwork mentioned in the previous post has arrived so more music available in an excitingly complete fashion should be on the horizon.

prelude to an actual post

So, as a result of a number of factors, I’m well behind on my goal of a New Year’s Day first real update. I’m having a bit more time for things now, though, and accomplishing things piece by piece. I’m expecting some amazing artwork any day now and that’s one of the last steps before putting real and proper music up in a place that is presently ready and waiting for it.

My lack of working recording gear means that beyond the full length album that will be uploaded first (which at this point has been complete for…almost two years already? what?) I’m also unintentionally hoarding a fair number of new songs and ideas as well which I’m really pretty excited to do something with once the aforementioned gear problems are resolved. Early versions of some of these things might end up being hearable before too long if all goes as planned.

I’ll be kind of learning as I go with this blog thing, but hopefully I’ll be able to keep it up with at least semi-regular updates, and similarly hopefully those updates will be worth making because things will actually be happening that deserve updates made about them. Fingers crossed across the board there, and also crossed that someone manages to follow that last sentence. A few small changes and additions here are probably in store, too.

Anyway, much more to come in the following days/weeks. Thanks for paying attention.
