This release is the product of a lot of love and two years waiting.

Once upon a time in 2021, I did a remix of t.A.T.u's Lyudi Invalidy. It was almost impossible (and expensive) to get a mechanical license for it, so I couldn't do much. Couldn't post to NG or distribute. There were a few things I could do, drop to YT and SoundCloud, hopefully not have it taken down, and once that was live, I could blog it.

So, that's what I did, and it sat, gathering dust, as things do when you have no idea how to promo. That's how it would be now, if it wasn't for people on NG and in my offline life pushing me to do more, to make a version I COULD get a license for and post, this one! Well, long story short, I did that, copped the license, as soon as it came back green, I came here, just so NG could hear it first.

Now out on YT and spotify! Posted to all major stores, so if NG isn't your primary streaming platform, be sure to grab it while it's hot! Lyrics.

If not for all of you listening to and enjoying music here with me, I would never have had the confidence to do this, to record my vocals without autotune or any overt FX, for an old project that outside of silent streams on YT and SC I would consider a flop -- with GREAT vocals I felt like I could never top. I wouldn't be willing to re-record project for no one to listen to, to shell out $12 a year to keep it up on streaming. I'd be scared just to try, so thank you all so much! You give me confidence in myself. You give me life.

And that's the rizz. Extra special thanks to all my supporters on ko-fi, Patreon, and across all the other corners of the interwebs. You make this possible!

To @CyberDevil, @MATRVG, @MarioGD, @JimmyTheCaterpillar, F-Gents (Reduce Team), @JT424, @Trunotfals, @FarFromSundown, @Rusecue, @lawiuslorric, @zeroizerozero, @g2961, and @Odd-Naw, you have given me so much inspiration and good cheer this holiday season. Some of you have been my good friends for many years, and I love you very much.

Those of you I've come to know recently, I'd like to wish you a Merry Christmas, and hope we ring in many Happy New Years together! If I haven't yet responded to your messages yet, I have a folder of drafts to send out. It's been a busy season but we're getting around to everything!

Much love to all of you!

Misc stuff and other jazz

I pay for projects like this (remixes and covers) to be online. If you want to help out with this and future projects, you can send a tip on ko-fi or patreon.

If tipping's not your thing or you think I could help you, I also do commissions -- vocals, samples, instruments, AI models, voice acting, audio engineering, song-writing, track reviews and promo. You name it, I do it, free and paid, because the way I see it, every bit of work is a great way to get my name out as someone who gets the job done, a one-stop shop that don't stop!

The most recent (and fun) pieces I've done were @JT424's audio dramas, audio engineering "Rock and a Hard Place" and "Fight On" Ch 9 and 12. I've also been working on several collabs, voice acting for @MATRVG and F-Gents, switching over my vocal AIs from SVC to RVC, making tutorials, and I may even get into skits and scripts as I go. I have some singles to get out and a metal cymbal project to finish, but it's gonna be a fun ride!

If you're new here, drop a comment over on my blog, on X, here at the tail of a review, whatever, and introduce yourself.

What do you do, what have you been up to?! Because if you do music, I'm always doing playlists on Spotify and YT (some of that here), reviews, and promo. I try to support independent music as much as I can, however I can, and I'm always happy to meet new artists!

Anyway, I think I'll wrap it up here. I've written enough text to start a novel, so I'll catch you guys later, possibly on my news, possibly on a new release, but I'll be around!

See ya!
