It's Getting Closer

Yes, yes. Can you feel it? "Reborn" is merely 18 days away... that's 2 and a half weeks. as of this week I'm finishing up any last minute add ons (which aren't many), then I spend a while making sure everything has been mixed and mastered properly (or the best to my ability), then FINAL testing, and then it's all yours. It'll be in real low def to real hi def... So what ever fits for your computer/listening device, you'll have it.

AND THEN...

After the who-ha of releasing, I will be sorting shit out to figure out what I can do live and what needs to be done by the laptop live, and I'm also currently trying to learn how to use "Ableton". After I figured out what songs I wanna to play live, and sorting things out so I can do more than just sing live, I start rehearsing until I have it all down and good. Then after THAT... I try and get me some shows. Now I know it would probably be boring to stand there and watch one guy doing stuff on a lap top, and a bunch of instruments on his own. But I am trying to think of some interesting things to do to make it more good to watch, and possibly more interactive... like, have you ever heard of a Kaoss Pad? Ever wanted to try one out? I'll leve it at that for now.

Anyways, just remember... 18 days, February 23rd.

Gettin' There...

So I found a new place to spread 25:17, and conveniently enough it is an indie internet radio station. If you go to here, then you're bound to hear "Haunted" or "Amenance" eventually.

Just thought I'd let you know incase you wanted to hear.

It's Certainly That Time Again

Go hunting across the internet (aka the Links page on the 25:17 site to find the BRAND NEW SONG! It's only 12:06 right now, so it's not up/processed every where yet, but by the time you read this, it probably will be.

It can be found at Facebook, MySpace, Reverbnation, Purevolume, Unsigned, iLike, and Sound Click. Or hell, even here which leads to a Hi Def MP3 download!

So yes, enjoy, for that is all until February 23rd. Tell every one!

Friday Is Usually A Good Night, Right?

So I have decided on a song and a time. What the hell do I mean? Well if you read the blogs you'll know I planned on releasing one more song before releasing the entire Reborn CD on February 23rd.

The song: just wait and listen I suppose...
The time: Friday, January 23rd.

So yes, new song on the way for your listening pleasure. I'm liking the new shit a lot, and hopefully you will to. Also, shows will be announced soon, and by soon, I mean within the next month to month and a half (hopefully).

Okay, so now you know of the new song, and I will be reminding you as the time comes. Be ready!

Something is going to happen

For the last few days I feel like I'm slacking in music, when really I'm not. I think it's something inside of me telling me to write more, I feel like I want to. So I have a feeling I'm going to have an onslaught of music within the next few months. It might not all be 25:17, but chances are some of it will.

As for Reborn, things are coming nicely. I'll probably post up a new song within the next 10 days or so. Then remember 2.23.09.

Okay, that's all I felt I needed to say. Now go back to what ever it was you were doing.

For something to do I suppose

Okay, so I went ahead and made a 25:17 youtube page. Feel free to visit Any time/subscribe/subscribe/subscribe.

http://www.youtube.com/user/twenty57teen

I really haven't added anything yet, but Some shit will start popping up soon. Anything really, like me recording, goofing off, performing, and miscellaneous.

Subscribe! And...yeah. Keep an eye out for new stuff.

Mark your calendarsm kiddies. Also, a special request.

So I have now reached an official date to have "Reborn" out on the interwebbingnet.

Monday, February 23rd, 2009.

I could release at any point during the day, so keep checking back, or keep an eye out for a new blog post (if you're subscribed to them like good girls and boys...
*COUGH*http://twenty57teen.blogspot.com*COUGH*...) Oh, I'm sorry, must be getting that cold that's going around.

But yes, Reborn will finally be finished up by then and on your computer. It will all be released in High Definition audio (I'm trying to work on something better than 320kbps, but without any money, it's hard to pay for such privilages). I'm also trying my hand at FLAC encoding to those of you who are really into hi def audio and know what FLAC even is.

So again, 2.23.09, Feb 23rd, 2009, Monday February 23rd, 2009... how ever you mark it, MARK IT!

Okay, so now that the Reborn part is out of the way, I must get onto part two of this blog.

So, you may have realised that I'm not all that good with graphics and art for music and stuff. I'm looking for someone who might want to help out in the art direction for 25:17 (It's a non paying job, but it's the creativity that matters). I would like someone that is good with art (and/or) digital art and photo shop to help me on upcoming projects and other fun little things I can attempt. It would also be a bonus if you're good with web design, if not, I can find some one else for that matter. AND ALSO, is any one interested in some possible photo shoot help? Not all professional stuff and what not, but more just shots I can use to put on the site and 25:17 facebook and myspace. My idea for the photography kind of follows the style of Rob Sheridan (http://www.rob-sheridan.com/). I know, I know... Rob is the art director for NIN, I know. But hey, I love his style of photography, and I'm looking for some one with some what of the same eye (again, it's not a paying job, and I'd want to work with someone who wants to do it for the sake of creativity and passion rather than money).

So to sum up what I just said in a short couple of sentences:
WANTED:
- 1 Assistant Art Director (Good at digital art/photo shop)
- 1 Photographer (Kind of Rob Sheridan style)
- 1 Web Page Designer

Think you fit any of this? Email me at twenty5.7teen@hotmail.com or twenty5.7teen@gmail.com about it. Again, THIS IS NOT A PAYING JOB, I want some one who just loves the creativity in it, cause I have some fairly exciting ideas up my sleeve for the future, and an art director and digital artist would be awsome to have.

OKAY, now I'm done. Now if you'll excuse me, I must go work on Reborn some more.
