The Mountain (Patreon)

Hey, everyone.

I'll detail a little about this track and then I'll get to some news regarding the Patreon, Discord and beyond. New video coming either tomorrow or Thursday depending on when we're able to get it done, but it'll be regarding a song that I've already uploaded here so I figured why not give you something new that won't be a video? That's the above track. And the reason it won't be a video on its own is...well...I forgot to hit record. Hey, it happens. Filming yourself creating art means there's always a lot of balls in the air all at once and some things just get lost in the shuffle. I wish I did record it because I love how this song turned out. The stream is still up, though, and you can all see it via a link below.

CALLING ALL PRODUCERS: if you're in the Discord you'll have seen the newest sample challenge that's available to you: an LA Noire sample. The deadline is December 7th and I can't wait to hear everyone's take on it so if you're a beatmaker and want to flex your muscles a bit go ahead and throw an entry up. It'll culminate in a stream after the deadline where we'll go thorugh every entry and listen non-judgementally.

Other than that, those of you with a keen eye might have noticed on Friday I sent a DM for a "Hang Out" stream...let me tell you a bit more about that. I think it's been a little oppressive on my end to only jump on stream with you all when I have "work" to do. I like hanging out with the crew of regulars who show up to the Patreon exclusive streams and this is a way to actually do more of the hanging part. My goal is to make it happen every Friday noon/afternoon-ish. No stakes, no expectations, a nothingburger that can grow into a nothingtree...or something like that. I didn't think that metaphor through but I don't go back and edit these posts so you'll just have to read it.

Anyway, that's about it from me for now. The channel and the Patreon are chugging along and I couldn't be happer. Let me know if there's something you'd like to see more of here and I'll listen to what you have to say. That doesn't mean I'll do it or agree with you, but I'll listen. Thanks for your support as always I'll see you on tomorrow/day after's video.

Jon
