My influences on this piece were Yoko Shimomura’s works, especially “Plosive Attack” from Parasite Eve.

Instruments Used: Bass Synths, Synths, drums, snares, piano, distorted guitar.

Explosive Attack

Suddenly out of a dark alley, a guy in a fedora and a trenchcoat walks out; an old P.I.

As the sax kicks in, he’s smoking a cigarette
walking down the street
at the end, he’s confronted by a gunman
and he gets shot
Thus the flatlining.

Dystonia (full)

I’ve watched some of the demos and it’s hot. I mean, it’s just great stuff. I will be looking to buy this before the end of the year, and if you can use Kontakt, you should too. Not only does this sound amazing, the features it comes with are very cool too (see: automator).

At just shy of $120, it’s a real deal for the quality of the instruments AND the quality of the features.

Step 1: Click on the Upload button at the top of the page.

Step 2: Fill out the form and attach your MP3 song.

Step 3: Click Upload and wait for your piece to appear on the site.

Of course, the same guidelines apply as have always applied. If your music doesn’t meet the criteria, I won’t post it. So check the general guidelines at the bottom of the form. It’s really a no-brainer though. If you have put a decent amount of time into your music and are taking it relatively seriously, you won’t have to even read the guidelines because they are common sense. lol

If you have any questions, just ask. Enjoy! =)

In any case, I’ve finished the theme for it too. It shouldn’t look too terrible.

Enjoy!

We’ll be back up and running in no time with a surprise for you all~ =)

I’ll be coming up with more information on licensing and publishing soon, as well as more details on commercial stuff. This kind of ties in (as far as timing) with my other announcement.

My other announcement is that I’ve come to realize that the new layout and software for the site is not working out as well as I’d thought. So I’m here to say that I’m coming up with a new layout and custom web site, like I do. I like the new design, so we’ll stick with that. More news on this soon. =)

WordPress won’t go away entirely (we need a blog) but it’s not working out as the core software. Stay tuned!

Do not abuse this! There are a few rules about uploads… These should be self-explanatory, but I do need to post them.

RULES

1. Make sure your posts are meaningful and complete. No one-sentence posts. If you need an example, we have about 300 of them. Check out some of the more recent submissions to get an idea.
2. Do NOT post incomplete or experimental songs. If the song is an experiment (for you) and complete, then you can upload it. Examples:
   • OK – You’ve never written in 3/4 time before, so you “experiment” and write / complete a song in 3/4 time and upload it.
   • NOT OK – You are messing around with riffs and throw something together to see how people like it. <- This is a WIP and SHOULD NOT be hosted on Sakari Infinity. Host it on dropbox.com and post it in the WIP forum.
3. We are MP3 ONLY. I understand that some people like OGG, and that’s fine. Feel free to link to OGG versions of your music, but if you want to host the file on Sakari Infinity, you may only use MP3 format. If you upload a WAV file without permission, I will ban you. I’m not joking here, no one likes a 40MB download for a 4 minute song. Not cool.

That’s it. Enjoy the new perks, all! =)
