Hello there!
Just a quick note though that I'm currently also actively working on and developing Genshiken ITB :: Story's blog - feel free to drop a visit there! In the blog resides our member's works and such - I'll post my original story there sometimes too though, perhaps (:
I'll leave this short post with another great song I found, which is emancipator - ares - there are many great song coming from this composer though, feel free to check around the Bandcamp site!
Have a nice day!~

i was bored
'i was bored'
...so I heard
you liked diamond?
well,
on a neverland
lies a diamond.
lonely and exiled,
it searches for a freehand
wandering all around.
then comes another diamond;
they two bonded,
altogether be solid.
'o, diamonds!' spoke the hybrid.
'come forth, carbon of sacred!'
'arise and united, we should!'
thus, the call broke the ground--
even went through underworld!
in sudden diamonds march around,
surrounding the primordial diamond.
...and, o! they be united!
a gigant structure, diamond-based
had finally shone and stood
remarkably under the cloud.
however, one last time - the diamond asked;
'...so I heard you liked diamond?'
'you do? too bad-'
'we are inhabitants of neverland;'
'to be exist, we're not destined.'

The poet above is a slightly altered version of a poet I made around back then on my college when I was bored, really (:
You can see the original writing here!
Decided to post it here after lying around on my PC for some time, hope you liked it~

Indulging Into Wonderful Tunes! - January 2014
Hello!
I'm still enjoying my holiday for now, nevertheless there's one thing that I always wanted to do in these past few weeks - sharing musics from around the world that I found interesting, through days of hunting here and there~ Some of the artists that I included here may be quite obscure, but finding hidden gems that scattered through the internet is a pleasure by it's own, for sure!
Hope you all enjoy this set, though!
-> Vanguard Sound - Awaken (http://soundcloud.com/vanguard_sound/awaken)
Treating a song's main vocals, especially the artificial ones, as 'an instrument by itself somehow' is quite an uncommon technique (in this case, a background synth-like voice) and I rarely saw technique outside the Shoegaze world, personally. Although previously the more popular An through Xhroria (www.youtube.com/watch?v=onPcvh6G1SM) more or less brought the same atmosphere to a track, I found this track brought more bliss when heard due to its angelic buildup section~
This track was used as a set opener at an event previously, and I thought it would be a perfect true as well on this list.
-> The Queenstons - PROW13 (http://lapfox.bandcamp.com/track/prow13)
As someone who has been famliar with Renard's song for years, I found myself stunned while hearing this newest single-track album from this Canadian electronic maestro. Get ready for an incredible firework while the elegant drum'n'bass + synth combination kicks in on 1:46, and again with even more dramatic harmony on 3:14!
-> Luna Safari - Loving Rain (http://soundcloud.com/luna_safari/loving-rain)
Moving to the more ambient side of music here, Luna Safari brings you a melodious chillout, electronic new age-ish music which portrays a romantic atmosphere amidst the rain~ There's a vocal version to this song available as well (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPqcrv4AxZg), but still, I myself prefer the instrumental rendition as I can hear the song's rich sound samples more clearly - reminds me of onoken's ambient songs from his Blue Orb album, personally (:
-> pla remixed by 8 to 7 - MIGRATORY BIRDS (http://soundcloud.com/8_to_7/migratory-birds-pla-remixed-by)
This is a song which I've been using to accompany my sleep in the past few days, actually - labeled under the 'Atmospheric Drum'n'Bass' genre, expect a calming, more-downtempo DnB song which will make your mind wander around contemplatively. A beautiful 164 BPM song - albeit some might found it repetitive, the song still gives a transcendental experience more than most (if not all) other Atmospheric DnB/Jungle song. Truly an enlightening experience.
-> Brian Eno - By This River (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrZYP8SzlN8)
Warping back in time to 1977! Oh, Brian Eno, you're such a father for the Ambient genre and all of its derivatives. I know Brian Eno previously from his ambiental masterpiece 'Ambient 1: Music for Airports' (www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9kPIp4MtX0), but it was this song which captivated me the most - and I regret for not discovering it until recently. As you might have figured, the ambient influence is quite strong on this one - beautiful flowing piano melody combined with deep sad lyrics, definitely a wonderful one~
-> hania - Days Ahead (http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/434943)
I shall finish this list with another wonderful track I found while browsing newgrounds a while ago~ 'Days Ahead' is another sad track primarily consisting of piano and violin melodies, with a handy touch of electronic beats - I personally loved the depressive atmosphere this song builds, but alongside that I also found that this is also a good song to accompany myself while working on stuffs (:
...as I've been determining to re-utilize my blog (as I've stated previously), I might do this again regularly in the future... But for now, yet again I have to say I hope you all enjoy these wonderful songs!

Hello there!
I finally decided to re-utilize this blog after two years (it will be revamped soon, yes, don't worry) - and I'm happy to share one of my original creation as my comeback post!
Well, recently I've been playing around with pxtone (www.cavestory.org/othergames_pxtone.php), a simple yet powerful music composing software - although this creation is far from perfect and still using mostly program-embedded sound samples, I'm still having much fun composing this :D
Enjoy~
PS : I'm still wondering what to do to my older posts, though... Feel free to read ofc, but orz ._.
PS : Currently my blog's template is heavily taken from this blog, which I also develop together with my friends - feel free to read, as usual!~
