Just a simple guy. I only contribute music to newgrounds since I have no visual artistic talents whatsoever. My influences come mostly from Vangelis, George Winston, and a heavy dose of electronica and new age.

iTunes Album, New Songs, and Epic Schweetness!

Posted by Reasoner - October 24th, 2008


New Song

I just submitted a remix I did of a recording I made of a song my father wrote. I didn't have time to send everyone PM's about it, but if you get a chance check it out Here.

I'd also like to take the time to thank the 300+ people who reviewed, 21,000+ people who listened, and 5,000+ people who dowloaded A Walk Down The Trail. I'm astounded and humbled by how many people enjoyed this piece and I apologize if I seem distant with my thanks and responses to the reviews. I can only think of so many ways to say thank you =D.

Instrumental #4 Remixes

I find it funny that this song keeps reappearing again and again. It puts a smile on my face every time, so I'm definitely not complaining. Karco has just finished his trance remix of Instrumental #4, so I'm letting everyone know now to go check it out immediately! While you're at it, if you haven't already you should go check out Dj Bjra's remix as well. They are both stellar in their own unique way. Here's the links......

Instrumental #4 (Karco's See The Light Remix)
Instrumental #4 REVAMPED (Dj Bjra's Remix)
Instrumental #4 (Original)

Honestly, if their are any artists out there that would like to take a shot at remixing this song further, by all means go for it. I welcome anyone's interpretation of the music. This is NewGrounds after all right?

iTunes Album

I began work a few weeks ago on some new original material that I'm planning on releasing on iTunes once it's finished. It will be an original album of new music that has the kind of feel and progression that most people have come to expect from my music. I'm really excited about it and hope you guys/gals are too. I don't have a release date yet since I'm really just wanting to take my time and make sure the music meets everyone's expectations for a quality album they'd be willing to purchase. I'm hoping to be finished by early 2009 and I know that that's a very broad deadline... but good music from me has to come from my heart so I don't produce unless I feel inspired. I'll keep everyone posted as it shapes up.

Old-School Reasoner Jams!

I don't want everyone to think that because I'm working on an album to sell that I'm going to stop submitting here. Not True! I wouldn't have any fans if it weren't for newgrounds so I could never abandon you guys. That being said....I don't have any new tracks to submit right now, so I went back to my parents house last week and dug up some oldies to put up here for good fun! These songs are in no way a representation of my musical abilities lol....but it's at least something for you guys to listen to and hear my poor techno and piano skills when I was in high school. I've got a few I'll submit over the next month. Here's a listing of the old tracks submitted so far.

A Walk Down The Trail
An End To The Universe

You'll notice in a lot of these tracks that I use similar drum beats. It's not your ears...I just really stink at drums lol. I think I've gotten a little better over the years, but it's still not my forte.

Well that's all I've got for right now folks. I know I sound like a broken record sometimes, but I do truly appreciate everyone who's spent some time listening, critiquing, reviewing, voting and using my music. You guys keep me going. Peace.

looking forward to that album release! Do letme know when it's up, i'll grab meh a copy :3!

Whoa! Maestro I didn't even know you were a listener lol. Thank you for all that you do here and I'm stunned you'd consider buying it when it comes out. Thanks for stopping by bro =D

Yeah, make a front-paged news post or something so we all find out. :D

Nice stuff with An End To The Universe... I'd like to add my own drums to that. :O

Will do bro. Still waiting on that remix before you leave for good too :-D

Maybe you should add my review into you're descriptions if you wanted!

Well, not forcing of course, glad to see another great release!

Awesome picture by the way.

I should do something since my descriptions are pretty bland lol

I haven't forgotten the remix, I've just been too busy to touch it up until yesterday, when I did get the chance to work on it a little. :) Hopefully I'll get some more work done tonight as well.

PM me a drumless version if you can, it'd be an easy thing for me to add my own drums to it and it might just get my creative juices flowing. :P

Man that song is an oldie...I don't even have fruityloops right now to open that bad boy up. No it's just an upload for fun lol.

I'm the one that asked for permission to use your song so I am in your post!!! Yay!!!

Welcome to the Board! This is the cool blog anyways on NG

dude nice i must get the album

I hope you consider it =D. Thanks for stopping by

Aww. :) No worries, the remix is coming along nicely now.

Can't wait to hear it bro!

Heh, I have to say that "An End to The Universe" is actually a really good song, I really like it. Don't sell it short.

Anyway, can't wait for the album. Keep us updated.

Thanks man. I definitely will!

A newcomer, but I like your stuff-- refreshingly decent quality. Best wishes with the album, & definitely keep me posted! :)

Will do..thanks for stopping by

Left a review for you in you're latest piece, yet again you amaze me. :D

Thanks for the awesome, review. I've gotten so many on that track that I haven't had time to respond to them. I'm really blessed right now

Wow, iTunes huh? How do you go about getting music released on there? Do you have a record label, or is it just a simple matter to get music on there? Curious.

Looks like your going to go places with your music, I wish you luck. though it seems as if you wont need it.

PM me for the details :-D

Wow , i recently heard " A Walk Down The Trail" and i think it's Awesome.! Really, and i hope to listen more from you! Hah while checking your account info i read Vangelis, which remembers me from the song they did for Bladerunner i think, wich by the way, its great...
Nice picture that one!

Vangelis is the reason I love music. My dad had all of his early electronic albums that I used to listen to as a kid growing up. Everyone needs to go check out his songs "Pulstar" and "Spiral" for a really good trip. Wear headphones when you listen to them!

OHhh... u awesome.
Do you use cubase?

Nope...just Ableton Live and Reason

Sir, your stuff is epic.

Thank you sir! :-D

i am surprised to know that "a walk down the trail" is an "old" song; it is as good as your more recent ones. It's not that your skills didnt improve, but it's that this song has the same effect as the other ones. For me, it brings back memories and causes me to think, to miss someone, to miss my friends. You are talented, keep up the good work! =D

Hello!

I Made a mashup with your track instrumental #4 & with Johnny Frizz's Believe Again. Really, I used the Karco's mix of Instrumental #4

Ciao!

Dude that picture is awesome. I'm a big fan of your work.

Good luck with your album... I'd buy it but unfortunatly I'm a poor S.O.B. >.< rofl oh well.

Hope everything goes well, try not to rush and to do your best my friend.

Lordtac.
