Working on a new splash

-
Since the new blog is launched, I've spent some time working on a new updated splash screen for www.imphenzia.com that will feature 4 sections instead of the current two. These will be music and games that you all recognize from before, but also the forum and the new blog. I am also slowly learning how to create sites using CSS instead of traditional HTML. CSS is a great method to position page elements and get efficient code with different styles, but at the same time it is a bit of a headache due to browser compatibility as different browsers choose to interpret the code in different ways. One example is vertical alignment, it used to be a 1 row job in traditional HTML using tables, but in CSS there is about 30 lines of code and you still don't get a cross browser compatible result... when you google about this most people will blame IE, but regardless of who to blame I just want it to work :)

Once I've learned CSS a bit better I will also redo the music and the game sites to look more up to date as the design is getting quite dated. The new splash screen should be up and running soon. Now it's time to watch another episode of Life on Mars with my wife and a cup of tea.

  I just released a new calm track with 4 additional loop variations. You can listen to all variations in full length on the Discovery of Planet X page for Imphenzia Soundtrack. If you are into developing games, especially indie games, my library of royalty free music may be of interest to you. I continuously add new tracks to the library and they are very competitively priced (range is usually $5 - $50 and remember - royalty free.)

Oh - and about Discovery of Planet X in particular: It is a relaxing space theme featuring a spacious intro with layers of pads. A beautiful melody builds up in layers until it reaches a climax with piano and an electric guitar lead. It may be suitable for space games, adventures, puzzles, ...

Leaving The Outpost (Game Music)

-
It's tough to find time to make music these days, especially now that both my children are ill with eye infections and flu. Still, I managed to find a spare moment in the evening to compose this space inspired song. I decided to call the song "Leaving The Outpost" and I imagine a peaceful and relaxing space scene, maybe in an adventure, RTS, or MMORPG. The song features two sections. First a mellow melodic section with soft synth leads playing a beautiful melody and layers of filtered pads. The second part is more of an ambient soundscape with sweeping pads and scifi sounds. http://soundtrack.imphenzia.com/non-exclusive-music/leaving-the-outpost/ The track is available as a full length track (with a start and a finish) and a perfectly seamless loop. License it for your indie space game today =)

C64 remixing

-
Last night I spent a few hours starting to remix a classic old C64 SID-track to be released on remix.kwed.org which has turned out to be a good site for both constructive feedback and acting as a channel to promote Imphenzia as my last remix released there (The Fallen) has had around 3500 plays since February 2008. The remix I am working on now was originally driving me around the bend because the original has got an offbeat rhythm to it that I was determined to recreate before I add my remix twist to it, but I finally got it down... However... The sequencer doesn't quite line up the measures accordingly so it is difficult to arrange the track. Well see where it leads.
