The first new national holiday to happen in 36 years, Juneteenth, celebrates the liberation of Texan slaves when they found out on June nineteenth in 1865. For the first time in history, I feel obligated to make a post celebrating it as Texas was the last state to free its slaves.

Just found my forever lost headphones, they aren’t anything special but the ones I had replacing them weren’t as good. These provide a wider range of dynamic value and aren’t as focused on the treble part of sounds. If my mixing slightly changes as a result of this then now you know why (apart from my next song which is already finished)

@Tangeroni maybe you should think about this as well, since you did the orchestra competition thing I think this is another one of those but for all newgrounds music. Ask troisnyx about it on the forums or something like I just did a few days ago if you want.

Back in 2018 when I first joined NG I received a message from Troisnyx about NGUAC and joined with Trip to Egypt, my first song ever published online. Ever since I have always wanted to do it again since back then it was such a failure and nobody liked it, for good reason. However I couldn’t in 2019 since my 2nd account was made a month after NGUAC in 2020 and I wasn’t even posting after September so that was a failure to join again as well. But I think I’m finally ready for my comeback this year next week or so with my new untitled song using mixing techniques never before seen to this scale. It sounds way more professional than anything I’ve made before. I can’t wait to show you all what it’s like but I don’t know what state to name it after yet. Here’s a sneak peek: it’s yet another dark and ominous song.

I usually just make songs and post them here on this account, naming them after states, etc. But recently I’ve made music outside of that series for the first time, and I would never post it here because I don’t think those other songs are as good as my normal ones. However, I also recently discovered SoundCloud and its potential for a kind of alternative account for different music. Would you guys be a fan of that? I mostly just made a remix of my favorite Tobu song (it’s one of his two excellent ones) from 2014 so far, and I’m curious as to how something weird like that would appeal to audiences, or other things such as failed projects/unfinished projects as in like a “behind-the-scenes” type account. Anyways let me know your thoughts, thanks for reading.

Today I took my last exam for the year. That means I’ll have a lot more time for music, and guess what, my next song will be song 25. Half way done!

If you’re wondering about why Kansas came out so much later after Mississippi it’s because I’m working on 2 songs at the same time. With Kansas out of the way I can now focus all my attention to making my next song as best as it can be.

Normally I wouldn’t make news posts about my songs’ popularity, but this means a lot to me. Thank you all for enjoying my songs! While I do have a more popular song on my old account, that was a one-off; this time, I worked hard to get 100+ listens and 5 votes on Arizona, with a 4.65/5 star rating. Illinois, my most recent song, has only 33, but that means about 20 people are followers, since I get 20 in 2 days or so. That’s the biggest following I’ve had yet ever: thank you all again!

Back in January I would make a song at least twice a week. This has since slowed to twice a month almost, and a lot of it has to do with personal life. My family recently found out I made music, and so I’ve been trying to use them to improve my songs, which worked, but it means they all take longer than they used to. Also, I wouldn’t call it a lack of inspiration for new melodies I can adapt into songs, more so an artist’s creative block that you hear people talking about sometimes, but I have another song in the works at this point, so expect that in the coming days.

This is something I feel like I need to address. I don’t want to pay another 3 dollars to change my name to 51Steaks, plus that doesn’t have a nice ring to it. As a result, in the event that Tom Cooper succeeds in making DC a state, I will have to ignore it and make a “bonus song” at the end of my 50 songs instead. 50 is such a nice number of states, I’ll miss it. Then again a million Americans don’t have representation which sucks.

I, for multiple reasons, have changed my name and branding to the 50 states series. The major reasons for this are:

1. I don't play Terraria as much anymore
2. I didn't want to be associated with my old accounts since this is bigger than them
3. I want to enter the new year with a fresh start
4. I feel like my old account name didn't really fit with what I was doing as much, so I changed it. After I finish the 50 states I'll likely either go inactive or, more likely, continue posting music for every COUNTRY! JK that's unreasonable. Maybe every first and second world nation? Idk
