Tulpas, Tunes and Video Games: Some Casual Contemplation

  Howdy folks!   So last month, we visited Thomann! Again!  It was our second time around. We didn't have a blog to write about it last time. But this time we do, so we shall tell you a little about our visit and the stuff we brought home with us! 😀    Well, to get us started, if you don't know, Thomann is a musical instrument and equipment vendor. One of the biggest, actually. They're mainly known for their online store , which has a rather chunky selection of various bits and bobs, from really fancy guitars and PA systems to little curios like this .  And no, this blog post isn't sponsored or anything. We just wanna tell you about our visit.😉    So anyway, a little curiosity when you want to visit Thomann's actual shop location is that it's..... *really* out of the way. It's in a small settlement called "Treppendorf", here in central Germany. The funny thing is: We actually live only about an hour's drive away, and yet we really can't g...

We -were- meaning to do something other than a sky-photo this time around, but then just the evening before we wrote this post, this masterful oil painting appeared to the west.🤷     Gooooooooood morning Vietnaaaaaaaam! And other countries, too!  It's Amalia here, and it's time for the 10th Status report! Meaning we've been doing this for the past 20 weeks! Which sounds like a lot, but actually isn't even half a year. Huh. Well, anyways. Let's start by telling you all about our...   Musical endavours!   Many a thing is happening, here! Our next song, "Thunder Stag" is fully mixed, just needs mastering to give it that final little touch. Just yesterday, we also created a cover for it, and started work on some visual assets that we'll need for the release. Got a bit of a new strategy, with a number of shorts/reels to produce and release along with the song. Some DIY promotion work, basically. 😉   We've also been firing on all cylinders with this bl...

  She's looking all innocent here, hiding behind the morning clouds, but she knows what she did. >:(     Good morning, folks! Amalia here, and it's time once again to tell you about the events of this past fortnight! So, let us begin, starting with our....   Musical stuff  Well, it's been a split two weeks. The first week (30th of June to 6th of July) was totally unproductive in every way because of silly levels of heat. We're not just making excuses, either. We even struggled to get things done at our day-job, so after coming home, doing anything beyond sweating and feeling dismayed was firmly off the table.   However! This last week, things have cooled down and we've had a banger. Our next release has come along a good way and is now firmly in the mixing stages. All the main elements are in place, it's got a beginning and an end, and after several working titles, it seems the tune finally has a name that'll stick. It's called....   Thunder Stag ...
