  4. You know what I really need?

    By Steve Mueske ,


    Pentachrist
    I need deep critical attentive feedback for works-in-progress. I need a few serious artists to download a hi-res audio file (periodically) and engage with me on intentions, progress, hopes, dreams, & failures. I have, right now, three people I trust for various specific reasons. I would like to expand that circle. In return, I will do everything in my power to aid you on your own journey.

  8. Pentachrist Productions, LLC

    I filed for an LLC today through the state's recommended third party registrar. It included the application, EID filing, Articles of Incorporation filing, a forwarded business phone, and personal info kept off public records. Special thanks to @Clay Anderson Johnson for information and a kick in the ass (in a good way). Once it is official (it's supposed to take 4 business days), I will open a business checking account, get real and virtual business cards, and start scrapping to build it. The website I've started will be to generate leads for production work and to promote Pentachrist music (which will come later). The next step, I think, is to finish the first track, create a promotional video, and start looking for funding.

    Hi, I've been gone a week or two, but now I'm back. I often don't know when I've reached a breaking point until I get there. John graciously installed a plugin that allows me to temporarily deactivate my account when I get overwhelmed (like I do for Twitter and Facebook).
     
    I hired a consultant to work with me about learning Bitwig better. Reaper I know inside and out, and I love it, but Bitwig is much more robust with modulation options. 
     
    I'm trying to figure out a way to get away from the grind of retail work, whether it's forming an LLC and scrapping for work or moving to a subscription type model and providing early access to audio from projects with deeper access into my creative process. I know I need to start incorporating video as well. 
     
    As first steps, I bought an Office 365 subscription so I can create documents and metacommunication from anywhere. I also bought a 3-year subscription from Blue Host and hope to start designing a website soon.
     
    I'm still transitioning from müesk to Pentachrist and decided to keep adding müesk pieces to Look, which will be a "living retrospective." I replaced "How to End a Story," which now includes Jon L. Smith's sound design contributions, and added "Bereft" and "Sequences."

  11. Ground Zero - Again

    Those of you who know me know about my long-standing war with self-promotion. I have tried various strategies to keep myself motivated and ultimately these decisions change.
     
    So, I've created a reel of everything I've been working on this past year or two, completely unreleased, 90% of which I am still in the process of futzing with or may eventually abandon. The reel is live, but I'm not promoting it; it's a way for me to get work out to people who might be interested long before the public becomes aware of it.
     
    In other news, In the next few weeks I will be swapping out 1 track and adding two new ones to Look. I've decided it will become a living digital release because why not?
     
    The top track on the linked reel below is my newest obsession, a piece that began in Songstuff's New Music Friday and sort of took over. It's called "The Death of Love." A little backstory: I was hospitalized for suicidal ideation last April (following the release of Look), then lost my job, my house, & ultimately my wife. I relocated 1200 miles away and am living in a beautiful loft working a job I hate to keep myself afloat until something, anything, happens. This song, musically, is an attempt to express how I am feeling right now. The title is just a working title, but I don't have anything better yet. It's only the first section of something dramatically longer.
