I was born with Kidney reflux, actually, and things have happened, and detereorated slowly over 18 years, it's been a tough life.

I only had to go on dialysis for like, 4 or 5 weeks before I got the call for the kidney this time, things weren't looking so bad just yet, it's mostly premediated.

They took out both of the bad kidneys and put in the good healthy one, though. It's swollen a bit because it's very big. My old kidneys look like prunes. In size, color, and texture and everything. If it weren't for the obvious blood and stuff that you could see on them, you would think they were. That's how bad they were.

I'm very lucky though.



But, anyway, I don't really want to talk about it, I've never brought it up before because I just don't see any reason for people to feel sorry for me, or want to feel sorry for me, so, back on topic now.

Since this thread is about the remixes, is there anything you'd like to see in a future remix, any requests for songs? Final setlist isn't finalized quite yet, I know what all my major songs are going to be, but I will have small interludes probably every other track, for a few reasons. First, to keep it interesting, secondly, so that it's easier to transfer motifs and sounds from one song to the next, which may be hard, if for example, I went from something like, My December, to Bleed it Out or something. That way I've got some room for tempo changes and whatnot.

I'm hoping to make this VERY VERY coherent.

The Intro was really an afterthought, so there's not really a motif or smooth flow into the next track quite yet, but there will be one. Expect this CD to be released as one .mp3. From there you'll have to figure for yourself how many tracks there are, and what the songs are. I may give you titles, but they'll be vague, and focused more on almost an abstract emotion or feeling that I got from the song and used that as my basis of reinterperetation.

So, since I just told you I'm not finished with the two songs you've got, what would you like to see fixed in those? I've already detected some dissonance and chord clashing that I'll need to fix, particularly in the 3rd chord of the guitar, it clashes with the b minor chord in the strings and piano. I will need to fix that, also there are some transitions, and the whole thing needs to be brought up a bit, and levelled out better. It sounds a little low on my iPod compared to the professionally mixed songs, from professional artists.

I promise you won't get anything mediocre. For example, Don't Stay.... the only thing EVER released for that track was the track itself. There's no remix coming from that.

So, while any decisions regarding the remix will ultimately be mine, I don't want nobody to like what I'm doing, and I don't want it to be all one style. So PLEASE give me some criticism, or some requests, I want this project to be as much what you want as what I want to make.

Thanks guys!

Oh well I respect you a lot more now, as people in my family have had similar problems.

Yeah, I guess... I just don't bring it up because I don't want people to define me by what's wrong with me, I want them to define me by who I am.

Although, I think it's worth noting that I got most of my gauze taken off this morning!!! Looks like i'm getting pretty close to being let go! :-D
 
Hey guys, just a little update, on both my medical condition and the remix album...

1. I was released from the hospital yesterday

2. expect the **** to be out by november.
 
Ohhh shnapp that was awesome, sounds like the PR Tour Intro to POA which I think you were trying to do only with a little more flare, sounds great!
 
Curiously enough, I ripped those drum sounds from Pts.Of.Athrty itself. So the song is 100% points of authority, any way you look at it. Which is kind of cool
 
no matter how long it takes...I'm sure it's gonna be good
