Organic Creativity

One of the main reasons I started The Adventure Chronicles was to give a tiny bit of focus to my creative side.  I have what I like to refer to as "Organic Creativity".  Some people, including many of my friends, refer to this as ADD (or ADHD).  While that's the technical name most simply would say, "You lack focus".

Maybe that's somewhat true.  My moments of true focus are indeed fleeting.  However, as a side-effect, I often engage my "Organic Creativity".  I was working on posting something for Rocksmith.  I started playing the game, and I was messing around with the sound on my computer.  I wound up engineering and writing a few tunes (not the guitar type either, lol).

My ability to come up with lyrics is pretty solid.  My ability to create a good beat isn't bad either.  My ability to rap is so-so, and my singing generally is not good (doesn't stop me from singing at the top of my lungs occasionally though). 

I do want to post my new song(s).  I feel the beat is very good, and the lyrics are solid.  However, generally I'm a one man operation, so I had to sing/rap the song myself.  In order to tell the story I'm going to post it, probably as a video.  But, I wish I could sing a bit better (or at least find a cheap autotune that works on my windows system, not that I encourage autotune).  However, I'm thinking I may post the beat (without the vocals) separately, as I feel the beat is quite good.

After I constructed it (and a few more), I brought my keyboard out of mothballs and started playing around ("Organic Creativity", lol).  I'm probably going to be constructing quite a few more beats.  That puts the Rocksmith post kinda on the back-burner for now.

The next installment of The Adventure Chronicles is on my calender for upload on Monday the 28th.  I have the story and picture made.  But, I have to go through each for the final draft yet.  I think the story will be fine, and the picture will need some minor post processing, so, I'll probably make my (self-imposed) deadline.  If not I shouldn't be much more then a day or two late.

I'm kinda looking around for the best place to upload my music to.  I need one that can hold both CC work and that which is copyrighted (just in case) and they have to be linkable to my blog.  I've looked at a few places, I haven't settled on one yet.  Linkable video sites and likable picture sites are actually a bit easier to choose.

I have an idea for the video for my new song.  The song is called "Dragon Slayer".  I may rerecord parts of the performance, not sure yet.  I'll have to make a few more pics for the vid too.  It likely will be a moving picture video, not an animation or performance video.

My "Organic Creativity" is calling......
