Sunday, July 16, 2006 Greetings Programs, I just wanted to let people know I’m still working hard on new concepts and/or material for 8 Bit Weapon. I have about 7 or so tunes for a totally new album demo’d. Some you may have heard on myspace, some at live events, songs like “MicroBoogie”; “FUNDAnalogue”; etc… There are more on the way! Over the last 6 months, I have been laboring heavily over music commissioned by outside influences. Disney, Nokia, IGN.com, and others have hired me to create music for various projects. I have made over an hour of new material for these commissioned works. Due to the nature of the beast, you may never hear a note of music from these projects…which is a real bummer for everyone. That being said, I will keep you all posted on any release from these projects that becomes available to the public… The next event will be July 28th in Simi Valley, CA 93063…See my events listing for details! I “plan” on debuting a new tune then & there! Also, ComputeHer’s Michelle and myself are launching our own music and videogame developement company/label called FloppyPop! We are currently developing a game to be released in 2007 for the Commodore 64…more detailed information to be announced later… Thank you again for your support! — Seth 🙂
