Closing My FA
Posted 6 months agoId like to mention this isn't the end of my music journey, but I've come to a point in my life where I'm ready to get back out there and let my creative side run free again, but I want it to be something new. I want my music to finally be what I've always wanted it to be to me.
My work here and the friends I've made here all have an extremely special place in my heart, but with plans to rebrand and start fresh I think it's important for me to launch onto a platform with a larger more lucrative audience.
When I have things set up and am ready to transition, I will post links here to my new stuff before closing this account, so keep an eye out!
I will be preserving my finished tracks as Melodicat on YouTube so don't worry, my music won't be gone! In fact I have some plans to release them in the form of an Album possibly as a final sendoff to Melodicat. Thank you all so much for being here and listening to me. This adventure has shaped my life in so many different ways. I couldn't thank any of you enough.
If anyone is interested in downloading a collection of all my works, including my scraps and unfinished project renders, let me know. I will be archiving all of my uploads here into a Zip.

Engaged!
Posted 3 years agoJust got engaged! What!?!? When!?!?!? How!?!????
I proposed to cricketkittycup a month ago on a trip to Tennessee!
Just thought I'd share the good news she's the love of my life.
Sorry I don't have any music to show you guys...I got a really nice beefy PC now though that can handle my projects much better so I'm looking forward to that for sure when I actually start producing again...
Working two jobs now and only have a few days off every other week...
But it's all worth it. It'll all be worth it. Thanks for reading guys! Love you!

From Melodicat...
Posted 5 years agoI know I don't have a ton of followers. I know quite a few have unwatched due to my inactivity..
Life has been really moving for me I feel, and my music hasn't been touched...I have instrumentals ready for lyrics that I can't make progress on.
I sing and come up with ideas all the time but never follow through with them.
I feel like my musical adventures are coming to an end, but I don't want them to...it's just been really hard to make something I'm happy with...and I don't know why. I wish I could pump out finished work every few months or so, hell, even if it's half assed.
I check this website every day still...And yet I've done nothing for months on end. Those who still wait for me to make something new here, I thank you.
I thank those of you who connected with my music for a time. Its something I think about a lot when I listen to music, how I've been able to write and have people enjoy my ideas.
I didn't make all of this for nothing.

Hey Guys
Posted 5 years agoI know I've been out for a while and I don't like saying I'm gonna start working on my music more because I never do. I think life is just taking a hold of my creative talents.
Sitting at the computer to make music soon turns into a chore as I can't seem to figure out where to go with projects that I know have potential.
It's so frustrating...I listen to my music from the past and I constantly wonder where that part of me is right now and why I can't get it to be set free again into my work. Ideas come but I just don't know how to build them and when I do, I make something stunning and mind blowing to me, but have no clue how to turn it into a full song. Not sure what instruments to use, too impatient to make my own synth patches, I have a KORG Minilogue just collecting dust that I haven't once included in a finished product
I'm a mess and I'm trying really hard to get back into this. I've been passionate about music for as long as I can remember. I used to make up songs in the shower when I was like 10. Original stuff. I still do! Come up with throwaway lyrics that sound good but are soon forgotten because I know if I tried to finish it it would be another waste of my time.
Musicians always say well "oh I have so many unfinished things it's not even funny." But look at how much finished work they do! I have pages upon pages upon folders of JUST unfinished things.
Im not sure what to do about it anymore..
I suffer from ADD which doesn't help but honestly I feel like I should be strong enough to move past that and focus on my work.

Moved Out With My Girlfriend!
Posted 6 years agoWell me and Nicole got ourselves a nice 3 bed 2 bath manufactured home!
It's been a project of ours since the tail end of last year, finding a place.
But we finally landed somewhere and we're doing great!
All moved in and slowly unpacking, I'm settling in with her back in my hometown of Monticello! It's been a busy and long few weeks so I'm looking forward to getting into the swing of things. With the both of us working full time with our income we should be more than okay.
As for music my studio gets it's own room so, I'm looking forward to getting it set up and running again, though it may be a couple weeks before any progress is made. There is a lot that needs to be done still.
And the geckos take up like a fourth of the room >~> so they are gonna need to be cleverly rearranged...
Also had my 21st birthday and got fucked up so that was pretty cool. Although I regret drinking as many different things as I did..
Whsikey vodka beer ale more whiskey. Lots of alcohol that night. Lol

I'm Officially a Phlebotomist!
Posted 6 years agoJust got signed off the other day! Working full time at a plasma donation facility called "BioLife".
I do vitals and vena punctures, hooking people up to the plasmapheresis machines through their arms and sending their separated plasma through to be made into medicine for those in need!
It's really cool <3
Music is hard to get too with the studio setup I have...it's not very...comfortable.
And I need a new computer and new headphones.

"Elite: Dangerous is such a bad game."
Posted 6 years ago"oh my god you have to grind to get what you want omg you have to spend weeks getting what you want out of it omg I can't just go shoot and fly around omg what kind of MMO is this?"
Shut. The FUCK. Up.
You buy an MMO and then get mad cause it's a fucking real gamer's MMO and you can't stand the fact that you have to work to get what you want.
You can't stand the fact that this game doesn't hold your hand like the childrens toy you call an MMO.
NO. Fuck you. Elite Dangerous is a game that hands you a dollar bill, slaps you on the ass and throws you out the door in the middle of the fucking Galaxy and says, "Good Luck." That's the kind of game it is. And just because you can't fucking stand it, doesn't make it a bad game. Either man up and take the heat, or shut up and go away..

Lack of Content
Posted 6 years agoAs I work on these songs I find it harder and harder to finish writing because it's all shit that's done and over with and to be honest it's all so disgusting and not even worth writing about. I had some good projects close to being finished but I can't write for them or find the drive to record.
Maybe it's because of my setup right now sort of being a pain to work with.
Maybe it's how busy my job has me.
Could be because I use a step stool as a chair.
Not sure lol.
But I have projects in the making that I can write for now, and things are sounding good.
The album I was so excited to release is being put aside. Like hell I'm dedicating an entire album to that bs I went through for three years. I'll save my breath for something actually worth my time and effort.
Like this girl I love to the moon and back, and all these things in my life shaping out just right for once..
Music will continue...slowly. but it will be worth it. If not for your ears, then for mine. Thank you guys for being patient and staying interested in my music. You mean the world to me.

New Job at Bio-Life + Update!
Posted 6 years agoHeyaa everybody! :D Well it's been a while since anybody has really heard from me so I thought I'd post an update!
I want to start off by thanking all of you for helping me out when I needed funds...it helped me pay for food and other necessities when I was low, and I was able to relax for the first time in a while.
Since that things have been better! My girlfriend and I are saving up to eventually move in together, and although it may be a bit down the road, it's exciting to know I've got a plan and a goal.
What's more, I got a job at Bio-Life as a plasma technician, and I'll be retrieving plasma from donors in a matter of months. (They train me in with vital checkups first)
I'll start work this Wednesday for my first day, and I'll be working full time evening shifts from then on out.
I'm excited, Im nervous, it's a big job I feel. It's something I can't mess up. There's no room for mistakes there. But there's a lot of staff so I'll have plenty of help learning the ropes.
In other news THE ALBUM. My newest album "Written" is so close to being finished. Vocals are recorded for the most part. I'm mixing and stuff and adding finishing touches. As soon as it's finished I'll decide what I'm doing for album art and CDs and such.

Urgent Commission Reminder!! (Please have a look!)
Posted 6 years agoI have to make a specific amount of money by next month, and I had a guest stay with me for a while and the expenses where...well expensive.
I really need any help I can get right now. I have a music commission open for anybody willing to donate 40 dollars to help me get to where I need to be. Note me if you want to find out more details or if you are at all interested in donating under 40, in which case I might even still be able to give you something artsy in return. Thank you for considering ;;

**Urgent Commission**
Posted 6 years agoLots of stuff has been happening recently. I've been short on funds and there's a lot going on right now and I need to be sure Im in a good place before I'm comfortable with my financial situation.
No it isn't an emergency but I really do need as much help as I can get right now. My dear cricketkittycup has done so much for me as is and I won't let her do anything else.
I'm opening up 1 slot for a $40 music commission. It will be at least 3 minutes long and will capture any character or emotion you wish it to capture. I am however limited to more electronic based productions since I don't have any good samplers other than a few pianos.
If anybody is interested please do note me. I will update this journal accordingly. Thanks anybody who took the time to read this..you all mean a lot to me.

Back to Work
Posted 6 years ago
So I've recovered from a little bout of anxiety and depression after our failed plans with the trip and have gotten back to work on the album. Things are really close to being done. Very very close.
I finished one of the last songs yesterday.
These last two tracks will only be uploaded when the release of the album is ready. Before I release I am making sure that the songs are legally copyrighted and that they are bulletproof. I'm also making sure that the album alt is ready and that uploads are ready accross most platforms.
PREORDERS and HARD COPIES
Im planning preorders to be open when the final track is finished.
They will be basic digital preorders for bandcamp.
However! When the album art is ready and I begin production on the CDs, preorders will open for hard copies. Im planning on having your typical cd case with a little tracklist and some pictures/artwork inside, but we'll have to see where it goes.
I know im not crazy popular by any means, but I do know I have a dedicated set of followers so even if it is a bit over the top, thats how I like it, and this is really what I want my first album to be.
We Need Any Help We Can Get ;;
Posted 7 years agoThis is a journal from my love that explains the situation and how anyone might be able to help us. ;;
Hey friends...
So I return with not so great news...
You know how me and my beloved Melodicat left for our trip to Yellowstone, yes? Well, we got there Saturday night, everything was going splendidly, we drove around for 2 days to see things. But.. Tuesday morning, as we were heading to our next hotel in Teton Nat'l Park... we got in an accident. I admit I was too close to the big white van in front of me, and he too close to the asshole in front of him who slammed on the brakes for a squirrel... and I totaled the front of my beloved car. Nobody was hurt thank goodness, but our feelings definitely were. So we got towed out a good hour and a half to the nearest full service auto repair shop off the freeway. I was told by several people that Statefarm was most likely going to total my car. I haven't heard anything yet, but my dad is taking care of all of it. Anyway, we found out we were too young to rent a car in the state of Montana, and so we had no way to continue the rest of our hard earned vacation. So Wednesday I said goodbye to my first and much loved car, we packed up, and caught a greyhound bus home to Minnesota. We are heartbroken. I am broke. The tow out of the park was $530, because the government is just a bunch of crooks. I have no idea if my insurance will cover it. Not to mention my hotel reservation in Teton refused to give me back my money even after I explained what happened and we had no way to get there. So I had to eat that. Anyway we are home safe now, just a bit depressed and I am without a vehicle, so I cant even go up to visit my sweetheart until we figure out whats going to happen with my car or if I'm getting a new one.
So here it is. Emergency commissions are open again. You can check out my prices on my commission info page. I unfortunately can't do half off or anything like that, even though it was very popular last time. I'm still working on commissions from that, and it's a slow process right now as I settle back in at home and think about everything that's happened. Not to mention my mom and I are headed to the east coast in 2 weeks, so I have to prepare for that. I do bring my laptop and stuff with me, so I can work on stuff while I'm away, but I don't always do since I get so tired on vacay. Anyway, if you commission me, please understand there is a short wait list, and my personal life has me very busy at times. I will try to get everything done as soon as I can, and with the best results. Also, I do specialize in feral, but I will do anthro as long as its nothing too complicated. I will take NSFW, again with the same thing. All digital commission options are available right now. I am not doing traditional unfortunately, due to a mishap with a customer several weeks ago. It may open again in the future, but not now.
If you have any questions at all, please note me. I will be happy to answer any questions, related to commissions or not. And remember that I love you guys, this place has made me so happy and confident in my artwork in the past few months since I joined. I have never felt this way before, especially when I was on DA. You guys are what makes me want to try harder. I haven't been so happy in a long time, the furry community has really helped me so much this year when things were bad. And of course my Melodicat, without him and his never ending encouragement, I would be in a very bad place. I love you my sweetheart <3.
Thanks again all of you who watch me and enjoy my work. I'm always open to talk so if that's all you want feel free! I really do love you guys!

Coming Home Early...Rear-ended Someone
Posted 7 years agoWe werent even in the middle of our trip yet and some asshat slammed on the brakes to a near-dead stop and caused us to rear-end somebody. So the car is all fucked and we have to find a way home...
We're okay and we didnt get hurt at all but had we braked any later it might have been a different story.
We got bus tickets back for tonight but Im not looking forward to it.
Red and I really looked forward to this trip and we had so much left to see and do...but people here at Yellowstone are fucking terrible at driving and making decisions.
Anyway
We'll be home tommorrow.
