Hi Everybody! Alex here, from the A.C.E. Now, I know I've not really said much in the last few months but we'll get there with time. :) I hope you are all settling into the new season well. It's been chilly here in SA. Anyway! Many works are in the works and I'll be sure to get that out as soon as I'm happy with them, which brings me to my main point for the mail. ----------- I would like to call on any who are of the means to put something toward me getting a sound card, midi controller and microphone. I currently use a 5 year old behringer guitar link (which crackles like there's no tomorrow) and my cellphone mic so my mix quality is horrible going in. I've not got a patreon or anything such, unfortunately, so anyone who can help: I'm happy to receive EFT's and really want to get started on TRULY mixing and playing with effects with high quality samples. I don't often ask for help but I can't manage to pay for the stuff at the moment, or in the foreseeable future, and I'll be sure to list whomever contributes to an eventual album in the credits, black and white.(Once I've ironed out the kinks of the songs that'll make it onto the record). // If you like the music: I'll keep making it :) With this, you will also get a signed copy of the album when it releases. Plans are for within this year. If you're interested, please send me an email in response. Thank you in advance. Peace, ___________ PS: Attached is the first song I got the chance to do with mic'd acoustic kit, piano, guitar and awesome mixer for my laptop to aux into, to give you an idea of where I might go, musically. I want to start doing more rock, uptempo stuff like journey number 5 but more diversity in the chords. ___________ The A.C.E
