upcoming song releases (if I can make it in time...)

so, yeah... I have at least five songs in my mind that I KNOW I want to release as an EP or whatever it's called.

unfortunately none of them are finished, and most of them are covers. personally I think using cover songs (especially for a producer's first MAJOR release) is cheating...

but anyway. hopefully, if I can finish everything by Wednesday, the set list will include the following (in order of current completeness):

Album artist: ALCE//PROJECT
Album title: First Sound from the West

Title Details
Dancing Queen Cover. English. Reference by A*Teens. Original performance by ABBA.
mad world Cover. English. Reference by Gary Jules. Original performance by Tears for Fears.
Melody's Story Original. English. Arrangement, lyrics, and programming by Alcexhim.
OLD PLACES (feat. Makata Ono) Original. Japanese. Arrangement and programming by Alcexhim. English lyrics by Makata Ono. Japanese lyrics by Alcexhim.

The album download will be released under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported license. It will be a 7-Zip archive containing the source files (including Audacity project files, LMMS project files, VSQ vocal data, and lyrics in plain text) and of course the final compiled audio file in FLAC format.

Currently I have not been actually writing down any of the music, preferring to simply record it and program it on-the-fly. When I get around to writing the music down, I will also include the Denemo sources. Denemo is a free and open-source alternative to proprietary applications like Finale NotePad, which allow you to compose sheet music on your computer.

Right now, ALCE//PROJECT is Alcexhim, several keyboards, two guitars, and a Zendrum. If you want to get involved with the Project, please send me an e-mail at alcexhim@gmail.com and let me know what kind of talent you can bring to the Project (i.e., vocals, instruments, lyrics, melodies). If you contribute, the name you choose to represent yourself by will be listed in the title of the track.
