Goodbye, the nightmare that is Weebly... Well, at least my RonZak website. We have Neocities now, yáll. Anyway, welcome to the revival of RonZak's Contingent Music! What does that even mean? Well, it's just songs that I make "for the hell of it." Not much else to it. If it's a song, an E.P., or an album that I've made "for the hell of it", that I don't feel like putting up on Bandcamp until a later date, you will see it usually here.
It's Christmas today. If you know me, you know I'm not religious, (I'm Atheist,) but that doesn't matter. Michigan has been in a blizzard for a few days. Things are finally slowing down.
Anyway, for Christmas, I got socks, underwear, a 128gb micro SD, a mouse, and most importantly, a red Telecaster with a basic amp. I've been wanting my own electric guitar. My acoustic guitar was actually an acoustic electric, but the cord fell out, and I never got an amplifier, so I never had a use for the electric part, so I took it out. That's why my acoustic guitar has a massive hole on its side. But with my new electric guitar, I made a full length album. I also threw in my acoustic guitar in one of the songs, and my steel drum and kazoo in another, as while as a radio recording, which I believe I used before, but whatever, in a different song. I also sing on three of the songs. Good look transcribing whatever the hell I said in them.
So, something really bad happened to me yesterday whilst wrapping up a session with my bandmate, Wilbur. My electric guitar stopped working. We're hoping it's the input jack that has to be replace, and not the pickups. Input jacks are cheep. Pickups are like two-hundred dollars. I don't want to get a new electric guitar. I just got an electric bass last month. I'm starting to think my pickups when out. We have to check the input jack first before we have a definitive answer.
I know it's been over a year since I did an RZC entry. I guess motivation to keep it up wasn't there. I think a big reason, though, was that I didn't know how make it work. I think I know have the way I'm going to do this. For space purposes, (though I do have fifty gigabytes to work with,) when a new RonZak's Contingent Music Collection release, which I still have to release the second album from back in the Weebly days, (shutter), I will then delete the audio source files, and then link each track entry to the right track page. I feel like that should be sustainable.
Now, regarding this track, this track was made for a stupid, yet entertaining student film. I was one of two sound guys. I tackled most of the soundtrack. Every other song was released from that "film" on "new soundscapes". This was the only song that wasn't. It was just called "Ominous 2", a reference to "Ominous Letter" I think.
Today, WASTED DREAMS brought to my attention that they would like to do a collaboration with Jcran and me. I was asked to make some droney guitar ambience, and so I did, with my bass guitar because as I previously mentioned in the log, my electric's pickups went. I also made two tonally different tracks for the hell of it, knowing they wouldn't be usable for this upcoming project. One's a sonic nightmare, (RZC40,) whilst the other is a bass and vocal track about how today I woke up with it being below zero for both Celsius and Fahrenheit. (-19C and -2 respectively.) (Also, RZC41.)
