Bluntly... if you're not running Windows, or don't have a setting to reduce your videos to low resolution..... good luck even uploading your stuff there.

Non-premium users, like myself, only have a bitspace limit of 2GB.

Times like these, I wish the university computers had Windows Movie Maker installed.

If you haven't already seen them, check them out --

With internet down at my place and my computer making weird noises, I've been using the university computers a lot lately. That means good news and bad news.

GOOD NEWS: More drawings can be done, and I may hopefully be able to brush up on my shading, proportions and sense of balance.

BAD NEWS: I cannot run FL Studio for the time being. While the Macs here have Garageband, I can't say I even know how to use it. I wonder if there's an option of mouse-clicking the notes into the piano roll like we can do with FL Studio... There are no MIDI controllers either.

I'm not going through the best of times, but I trust that Our Lord will lead me through this. I just want to thank all of you, friends and supporters, who have stuck by me to this day. The little, wonderful things you do make my day!

This one is in celebration of having finished an assignment!
And it's good to be back to PC.

I wonder what the final result will turn out to be.

I can FINALLY type the word "bodhrán" according to its proper spelling without it displaying a bunch of gibberish. Thanks to the people who worked really hard -- the longer-than-expected downtime was well worth it.

It fills me with joy and pain all at once to see what Round 1 has brought. There were some people whom I had hoped to see sail through Round 1, and they did it. However, when people like PeterSatera and RealFaction have been bested in Round 1, you know that it's quite the different ball game.

As far as how well the people from Versilian are doing: only Samulis has made it. He's collaborating with Bosa and they are known as the Bardic Kings, for those of you who didn't get the memo. SkyeWintrest and Nimble have been knocked out...

It is fascinating, watching the ADM as an observer for a change, instead of taking part. Now granted, circumstances have led me not to take part, but I still take interest in it, because between now and next year, who knows what everyone will bring? Who knows what even I could bring to the table (considering I would like to take part in the 2014 ADM)?

Still, while there are people who work tirelessly to calculate, gather statistics and gather the pieces together, I watch this from the point of view of a mere musician. After observing the events of the ADM, all the way through to the end, I would like to plant seeds for next year's pieces. Just mere seeds, nothing more -- so that when the time comes, they may grow and hopefully blossom into beautiful flowers.

Everyone! The long awaited cover of the Ballad of the Wind Fish a.k.a. Song of Awakening, from the Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, is FINALLY FINISHED!!!

If you would like to listen to it on Newgrounds and comment/review on it, please feel free to do so! This is where you should go.

Thanks for stopping by this post, and happy listening!

For those of you who don't know or who are making sure, I used to go by the name TroisNyxEtienne. I switched to what can rightly be called my stage name.

In other news, I am currently recording the vocals for the Ballad of the Wind Fish / Song of Awakening cover, and it's going to be a lot of work. This is going to be another Enya-esque, Mylene Farmer-esque work, and...... while it is painful now, I really look forward to the end result. I will post it up on the front page, Twitter, Facebook, etc., etc., and PM those of you who have shown interest, once it is up.

Stay tuned!

Ta for now,

Click to take a gander on what it might be!

(And yes, I had to do that. The picture upload mechanism for NG isn't working on my computer.

I have quite recently updated my personal thread on the Art Forums once again, after a full year of inactivity. If you would like to take a look and post any comments, feel free to look at it here.
