New name on Program = New name on blog

Since the name of LinuxMultiMediaStudio now has changed to LMMS, my blog name has also changed. The most important to notice is that the link has now changed, so there will probably be a lot of dead links out there. If you could help telling people that there is a new link, that would be cool!

Second Flight is incredible (LMMS artist)

I have written about him before, so I should perhaps write about another artist, but I have listened to this song of his, Timepiece https://soundcloud.com/second_flight/timepiece 20 times or so, and the same goes with many of his other songs, because he simply creates outstanding music! I will rate him the best LMMS artist at the moment! And he is a steadily holding that position now. With the track Pendulum https://soundcloud.com/second_flight/pendulum I got completely dazzled, and since then he released many tracks, some of them just as amazing. Solar Eclipse https://soundcloud.com/second_flight/solar-eclipse-original-mix , Imperfection cover https://soundcloud.com/second_flight/imperfection-bootleg , and then we are back at Timepiece.

His music got a common "denominator" like most artist have. And I really love the special Second Flight sound! It is bright, happy and always interesting. Arps and many details helps too, when you try to make your song interesting, and he knows that. However without a catchy melody, bass, lead and composition, it doesn't help much with details. Incredibly enough he always manage to pick out the most catchy melody, bassline and drum beat, and it might sound dull in the start phase of a Second Flight production, still he is focused on the end product, and tweaks and changes until the final product is awesome!

So this artist has clearly found the key to make music on a really high level. He has "leveled up" if I can say that, and that justifies this post :-)
