It’s gonna be an exciting week. Yesterday kicked it off with some audio sample work that I’ve been helping a company with. New shirt designs were created and uploaded to the store for the next several releases. The real bright light was the email software for my Jody Army finally got to a running state! More good things are afoot.
Yes, my production skills are coming in handy to help out some friends with a new VI (for those who don’t know, a VI is a virtual instrument). There’s a lot of things going on with this new instrument and I’m not at liberty to say what it is. There will be more from me on it, when I’m allowed to speak on it.
As the parade of releases continues, there are several new t-shirts that were added to the store in the last 24 hours. Particularly for this week’s release, Ties Are Truly Bound. I’ve opted to run 2 different versions. One is of the cover art, because it looks cool. The other is for lyrics, because we as a people, a country, a world, need to come back together as a species.
If you want to find a discount on something prior to release and during the first week release, it’s at the store and you can find it with a little digging.
My day/evening got kinda exciting yesterday when a project I’ve been working on for the Jody Army finally started standing up. It’s on about 2.5 legs, so it’s not public facing and it’s still a little wobbly in terms of what it’s doing. However, it is running and I’m in process of getting it set up. The initial test runs have worked and that has me fairly giddy.
Crazy that an email system is something a musician can get giddy over. As I’ve mentioned previously, this is a giant step in a long-view direction that I’ve been working toward. The Jody Army will not be housed on a 3rd party server. This is a major thing for me as I’m someone who values my personal information being only for those who I want to give it to and not being spied on.
I should have it ready to rock n roll with new features within a week. Or at least sending emails within the week. The really cool features are likely to take me another week or two. It will allow me to create a member’s only section to the website. I’ll also be able to connect with your streaming service of choice to do some really nifty things. Cutting edge stuff for you and I.
Not just boring email updates like everyone else.
I have the feeling it will be pretty darn epic. And as someone who likes to push boundaries in a good way, it’s gonna be something I will want to share far and wide. Much like the upcoming release on Friday – Ties Are Truly Bound. The updated mix and master sounds great!
