Hey guys. I'm glad some of you have stuck around to see what I'll put out next, or if I will, and the answer is "yes, I will in fact make more music."

I'm working to improve my skill in music production, because I feel that I could still learn a lot. For that reason, I'm not belting out songs as frequently as I have in the past. However, in the coming weeks, I hope to have finished the project I began yesterday as well as a collaboration or two. 

On that exact note, if anyone is interested in collaborating with me on a song, send me a PM. I'd be more than interested.

If you're wondering where I've been, I'll use the classic excuse of "school's been keeping me busy." In fact, I mainly just haven't had any ideas recently that I think can compare to some of the other songs I've made.

This is a short update. Just know that I'm still working on projects. I've scrapped many of them, but hopefully one of them sticks soon.

Finally, I released a new track. It's been difficult to come up with anything, so don't be too surprised if it's a while before my next upload. Hopefully not though.

That being said, "Full Circle" is now up. Check it out!

In case you haven't kept up with the NGADM (Newgrounds Audio Deathmatch) contest, I have officially made it in! That's good news and very exciting for me, especially since only 32 artists were chosen for the contest out of 192 auditions. SO many great artists I know didn't make it and yet I managed to get in on the contest. I'll try not to disappoint!

Also, I updated the contact info section on my Newgrounds homepage to display my Facebook page. Feel free to Like my page!

My round 1 song for NGADM is finished composition-wise. I'm going to take a day to review it and note the things I'll want to change about the mixing and such then expect to see it posted here sometime before August 15th!

ONE MORE THING (I swear): Perseverance [NG Cut] has made it back onto the Best Audio This Year list in the Audio Portal. I'm incredibly psyched about this. Thank you everyone who has downloaded, rated, or reviewed that track or any of my others, it really is appreciated.

So here's my obligatory "check out my social media stuff" post, as well as some other music-related news.

Anyway:

Follow my Twitter @OneGrantJones (until I actually decide to make one for OpenLight, my personal Twitter will do)

And like my Facebook page at facebook(dot)com/pages/OpenLight/211444452224777 !

As for new tracks, I'm working one currently that'll hopefully live up to your expectations. I'm not entirely sure how many people are actively watching this page, but be sure that once this next track is finished, you'll see it posted below.

First off, I have a new Twitter account. Follow @OneGrantJones for my updates!

Second, I uploaded a new song you should listen to and review if you have the chance. Oh, and welcome to 2012.

After hours of work, I've finally finished up this collab. Let me know what you think!

So I made a creepy song without fully realizing that it was October. It's also my first use of any sort of IDM element (the drums. not sure how to word it. drum slicing, drum samples, I don't know) so I hope I did well on that!

My first song EVER got a place in the top 20 this week! I'm absolutely excited because this is my first song, and though I'd like to believe I've gotten better since I wrote it, it's still great to know even that is getting some level of appreciation.

Thank you all for the votes!
