Hello. You might remember me as the one who used to actually submit music before disappearing for ages.

In truth I've been in something of a creative slump as far as music is concerned (and I haven't been doing enough to my other projects either). However, since November I've finally been learning the guitar myself, and with the addition of a decent amount of music-related hardware I got for Christmas, I may at some point be able to start playing and recording my own songs. It'll take a fair bit of practice, though.

I've also been experimenting with Guitar Pro 5, which I like a lot so far - it's the first MIDI-capable music program that I've felt rather comfortable writing in. As a result, I hope I'm going to finally be able to provide tabs and MIDIs of my music to people who have asked me about them. It's ironic that after I concentrated on MOD because I thought it was flexible, it became the obstacle in getting my music to a wider audience.

I'll definitely finish the "Machine World" album in Modplug... at some point, when it's ready. Starting to release an album before it's actually been written has its problems. I don't want the last three songs to be rushed while I'd rather be doing other things, though.

I'll submit the GP5 and MIDI for Hand of Fate soon - I'm not sure if it's as good as can be, but I don't think it went badly at all for a first attempt.
