Sir Charles Plays a bass riff from a new song called "Strange Transmission"

New Song for Free download

it says "buy" but it's free for a facebook "like"... come one.  it's easy.

Lots and Lots to do

I'm constantly busy working all the time.  I'll say that again.  I'm CONSTANTLY busy ALL THE TIME.  

 It seems though that people I know don't consider what I do to be "work" at all apparently since:

1.  I haven't made any money at it YET
2.  I enjoy what I'm doing
3. I "work" out of my apartment
4. I'm not on the radio

The people I'm mentioning are the same people that have no idea what I'm doing or say they don't understand it when I try to explain.  Well, I don't have any more time to explain at this point.  I never knew that people thought a business is only a "business" when it makes money.  I assumed the average person was smarter than that.  How does a store get built before it can put an "open" sign in it's door to welcome people to buy it's content?  I guess by magic. I always thought that the business owner had investors or his own money somehow to pay the construction company to build the store according to his business plan.  Nope...magic.   Once the store appears, the owner/wizard puts a spell on it and suddenly merchandise appears.  Soon to be customers instantly know the store's open somehow and flock to spend all their money.

Piece of Mind

It takes a lot to explain your mental health issues to those whom only have an issue with what you take to treat your mental health issues.

Released My first "Official" Single for Digital Distribution

Finally finished the video I took of 

my best-est, buddy, pal, job

It was shot from a 10 year old web cam, hanging from my loft bed in my bedroom/office/studio/rubber room.  I dig it.

"Duh Duh Duh" Original Capture Recording Video

Possible Album cover?

Working on a 3 minute video..

Tearing apart this video software like a muh fugga, you mother fuckers.

Money for nothing and no free chicks neither.

I'm currently working on some kind of "album" release and what my idea is to release it TOTALLY FREE!  I always wanted to make at LEAST one, polished album, that tells the tale of Derk the Jerk.  But no one buys music these days and I don't have any money to release it through Cd Baby or Tunecore anyway.   So the idea of my collaboration is that as I finish making the album, I'm going to upload versions of unfinished songs and allow people to submit their own ideas for the unfinished songs and send me samples that they'll get paid for (somehow) if I use them...
And when the album or songs are released on my website, and soundcloud, anyone will be able to download every track and sound on the album in a zip file for remixes or whatever.   I'm just happy being able to make music every day.   I just want people to hear some of my jams.

Spent the last two months doing me some learnin

I started out using Sony's Acid Pro for music creation (actually it was called Sonic Foundry's Acid Pro when I bought version 2.0) and now have decided to never use it again. It sucks. Well, it sucks that I spent so long never really educating myself on how in depth it is and it sucks that I barely used it's capabilities. What DOESN'T suck is Imageline's FL Studio. I first started using it just to program drum loops that I would use with Acid Pro. It was called Fruity Loops at the time. Now there's no reason for me to ever use Acid Pro again except to complete the many unfinished songs I started with it. I gave Sony one more shot for old times sake but after getting pissed at the lack of online tutorials and official support, I'm saying goodbye to its laborious program. Imageline has over 400 online tutorials on their Youtube channel and I've watched about 50-60 of em in the last couple months. They use the catch phrase "the fastest way from your brain to your speakers" and they ain't exaggerating at all. FL Studio is an "open environment" and is "intuitive" ass well. It's mind blowing how AWESOME it is. I grew up bouncing stereo tracks back and forth on magnetic tape and having to use hardware based effects. It took me a while to rap my head around digital signal flow and I often found myself shouting out loud: "No fucking way!" on how easy it is. Basically, if you can think of an idea musically, FL Studio can do it a million times over.
