She thinks it's fun to have no remorse.
Another myO update! Yay!
You might remember that a while ago, I had committed myself to providing some of my favourite electronic music on myOtaku for you to listen to. Some of you seemed to have an interest in that, considering that most people only identify "electronic music" with the regular clubby or dancy stuff that you hear.
The song that I've put up today is a recent favourite. Earlier I had been introduced to a couple of fantastic Curve tracks, by Tony. That was a few months ago I think. I quickly warmed to those tracks (Horror Head and Lillies Dying) and then I noticed this one. Mind you, I own a million remixes of this particular track, but I've never had the original. As usual, the original is a lot better than most of the remixes.
As a matter of fact, the layout that you're looking at now was designed entirely around music. I began listening to a couple of tracks tonight and they kind of gave me the urge to do this. I had no concept or colours in my mind originally; my mind was a blank slate. It was really the music that put these images/shapes/colours here.
It sounds kind of lame, but I told Alan to give it a try earlier tonight; to just start making something based on the feeling from the music and to ignore your own logic. He seemed pretty happy with that little experiment.
It makes me realize how much of an impact music has on me, in terms of design. Depending on the song I'm listening to and my mood at the time, the design could come out pretty differently.
The song on myOtaku is one of the tracks I was listening to while I worked on this layout. The other is called The Great Escape by BT. I like BT quite a bit (and I know Transtic is also pretty knowledgable about BT), so I might put that song up next. I really like it, for the most part.
Oh and, if you haven't seen it, check out Alan's post in The Reanimatrix. It's the first comedic post in there so far and I found it pretty funny. ~_^
