The Martians!

[theconcerned]

I while back, I posted this on BGG. I thought I'd share it here to see what you think, and oped a generalized discussion about "The Martians." Here is the post:

It's been known for a while that on the last page of the LNOE rulebook there's the phrase "The Martians are coming." Everyone at Flying Frog is very hush-hush about almost everything (even Growing Hunger -- I mean, it's coming out NEXT MONTH and we know almost nothing!), but I think that Mary Beth may have let a little news slip out on her Myspace blog:

Frank's Theme
Current mood: mellow
Category: Music

This was from the movie Chickenhead. I wanted something that was like elevator music, that would get stuck in your head, and was SOOO annoying! I think I managed to achieve my goal. I now use part of it as my cell phone voice mail greeting.

Coming soon (well, as soon as I can redo the guitar and there's time to do the bass), my latest song, the first one with words (that aren't Latin Ecclesiastical phrases) since 2006, "Rocketship to the Sun". It's simple, only two verses and a bridge and choruses. I like it because it's a bit more rocked up, more like a ye olde song rather than what I've been doing lately. It was strange though, after singing film score/classical/techno style for a year long, I forgot what it was like to sing with English words and with some force to them.

I'm finished with my year long horror soundtrack, but am not able to release it yet because it's still classified. I'm hoping I can release it at least to friends by the end of April, but we'll see. Unfortunately, I'm not in control of work I do for others. I'm really proud of it, and even at 11 tracks total, I think it works together well as a whole [EDIT: She is, of course, talking about Last Night on Earth and its soundtrack]. Since it's taken a whole year to do, I feel kinda like it's my legacy. It's something I can show future generations whether it gets too painful to play or not. I really enjoyed doing it, and my next year long project looks like it's gonna be surrounding 50's space aliens attacking earth. It probably won't be as exciting to me as this one, but I'm hoping to use all those silly sound patches on my midi modules that I never get to use in normal music.

Take care, and have a Happy St. Patrick's day!
