I've been thinking about composing a Mistborn soundtrack for a long time now, ever since the Kaladin album really. I haven't gotten around to it (hopefully I'll be able to this summer when I'll be less busy), I've just been letting ideas bounce around in my head. Then yesterday, I hit upon a really good theme for Vin, and its getting me pumped for this upcoming break.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! I've been trying to compose a Mistborn soundtrack for a long time too! Can I hear your works? And share mine with you? Maybe we can collaborate?! I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE, HAAHAHHA!!!

Seriously, though. I've made songs for lots of things, but not one for Vin alone. We could work together on this, maybe! I'm just really excited about this.

Yeah, I know you’ve been coming out with Mistborn music for a while @Firerust. I’ve listened to most of what you’ve put on the shard :D. If you really want, I can DM you what I have, but be warned about its quality. I just jotted down the essentials on GarageBand really quick so I don’t forget it, so it’s super rough.

It would be awesome to collaborate, but anything serious would have to wait until mid June. I’m planning on using Apple Pro Logic X to arrange the pieces, but I have literally no experience with it, so I’ll need 2-3 weeks to get the basics down. And I won’t have that kind of time until the end of the school year.

The publishers of Leo Carew just mailed me a advance copy of his new book The Spider. This book doesn't come out until June so I am really excited! I really liked the first book so I'm pumped for the sequel! This is only the second ARC I have ever received!

I also have no orchestration experience. I've done it all on the electric piano so far. And the quality of my own recordings isn't that good, so I'm used to hearing not-so-good quality. So I'd like to hear your song. GarageBand is good enough on its own. But I'd really like to hear this Vin theme, please.

And yes, collaboration would be great. Let's put together a team of all the people who have made Mistborn music and become a Mistborn version of The Black Piper. We would need a name for such a group...

I'll DM you what I have so far. I will say that I don't necessarily see the theme as it's own piece necessarily. As in, maybe it would be better to incorporate the theme into other pieces that are based on scenes or events in which Vin is active, kind of like what Black Piper did with the Knights Radiant theme. Who knows though, I'll have to see where it goes.

Black piper is only two people though...

You know, at first I didn't believe in you. But then I looked it up, and I couldn't find any composers other than Richard Williams and Michael Bahnmiller who worked on the album. Huh. Guess I learned something new.

Well, there are three technically. The two composers, and the producer. Since the composers have not read the book, the producer was absolutely necessary. That shouldn't be that big of an issue for you guys though :P

And do I count as a contributor as a beta-listener if that's a thing?

Decided to quit my job. It was just getting unsafe. Feels a bit different from previous quits. Those times, it was kind of sad leaving the people I had worked well with. This time, it's just good riddance to bad garbage.

Just came back from the state junior high band (or maybe just music cause there was an orchestra) festival. We came away with a Superior With Distinction, which is the highest rating you can get!

So a while ago I lost my job, I did something (innocently) stupid. Nothing bad, just not in line with the job but it was enough for me to be jobless and spiral into depression. I had the constant support of the family and girlfriend but i had to move between jobs. I got another job in the same line of work that I wholeheartedly want to put my time and effort into. This is the first time that I actually feel comfortable after a year in the place. I managed to buy a MacBook and PS4 Pro with my bonus and I've just been comfortably living. I know it's not much but it's helping me see that I can provide better for my partner and that's just all I want in life really. Hoping that I can stick this out because I feel I need to do better for my soon-to-be family
