  1. Bah, 5 pages in total. The hardest part is feeding the database with all releases.

    I have also problems having this mini bestof website and the suntrip website run on the same server for some dumb technical reason. I4ve been struggling to make it to work all day, almost there..be patient.

     

    I might be able to help out with those things if ya need a hand, I do this professionally. Apologies if you have it all handled, one never knows :) only thing is that not until end of the week as I'm abroad
  2. Current stuff I watch on maketunes-break: Fringe, Supernatural, The Big Bang Theory (a must if you're a geek like me), Californication, Flashforward, the remake of V, Sanctuary (pass on the webisodes, they tell all that story on the first real episodes).

     

    Older stuff: Twin Peaks, the remake of Battlestar Galactica (awesome), Doctor Who, Torchwood, Jericho (continued now as a comic book series), The Pretender, X-Files, Nowhere Man.

     

    Eagerly awaiting for the comeback of Lost.

  3. I don't think it necessarily takes more skills to layer more sounds in your arrangement. A little maybe if you totally cram it full of sounds. But What is most difficult is to create something interesting to listen to with the sounds you have. And if you have a few they need to be absolutely perfect. While if it is fuller you can get away with less perfect sounds.

     

    I don't think either way (going minimal or maximal) it's more difficult than the other. If you use a load of sounds, from a production point of view it's difficult to still keep k&b and perc punchy enough so they keep driving the track, among many other things including lead definition and whatnot. Going minimal has its own challenges, eg you have to be much more careful on defining the sounds as they will have plenty of space on the mix and as such any imperfections will be very noticeable. On the actual music writing there are also more than enough challenges going both ways. Each type of music always have their own merits.
  4. The "Ender" series by Orson Scott Card is pretty good, plenty of moral and philosophical issues; especially on Ender's Game.

     

    Clarke's The Songs of Distant Earth depicts humanity migrating from earth before our sun goes nova, plenty of stuff to think about. Goes really well with Mike Oldfield's musical interpretation.

     

    Asimov's The End of Eternity and The Bicentennial Man are also pet favs of mine.
