Songs from the Chechnyan Love album "Amalgamation" are now available to listen to online at the sites listed below. The website for Chechnyan Love has not launched yet, so downloads of the songs are currently unavailable.

Facebook The full album is posted here to listen to. For some reason the songs are not in the correct order, but what can you do. If you like what you hear, feel free to become a fan. My goal is to get enough fans to reach the double-digits so I can be regarded as a successful, albeit broke, musician.

MySpace I have issues with MySpace. I know that it's the social site of choice for most people, but for some reason it just bothers me. However, because it is the social site of choice, I figured I should post a few songs there as well. Some people may think that I am selling out, but because I'm not making any money and likely never will, I think they're wrong. Or at least that's what I tell myself in order to sleep at night.

Virb I don't recall how I ended up at Virb, but they let me post some songs, so they're there for your listening pleasure. I actually like the layout of Virb as it's nice and clean looking (unlike MySpace). So far all of the stats on the page (2 song plays and 4 views) are from me checking the page after making changes to it. Yes, I really am that unpopular.

I plan on releasing at least two more albums under the Chechnyan Love moniker over the next year. I also plan on getting back into playing actually instruments as they've all collected dust over the last two months. Hopefully I'll be able to complete an acoustic album over the next year as well. On top of all that, I'm currently working on the score for a short film. This will be my third time having my music put to film, and the second original score. Add thirteen hours of work per day, possibly starting a record label and occasional pretending to have a social life, and it will be impressive if I complete any one of these things.

I drove to the local post office yesterday and dropped off my album. A wave of relief came over me just knowing that it is complete and that I won't be tweaking the songs until the end of time. I, of course, am not completely satisfied with any of the songs (some less so than others), but I am more than content with the outcome given the short amount of time allocated to the project. The music should be available on the RPM Challenge website towards the end of the month.

So what's next for Chechnyan Love? Well, I actually plan on continuing to work under this moniker as an outlet for all of my electronic music creations. I'm planning on releasing the album on CD and will be creating a website as well. I've even been talking with a friend about the possibility of starting a record label in order to make things more official and broaden the potential exposure of our work. We've looked into this type of endeavor in the past but the cost has always stopped us. If we can do this with very little monetary investment than it will likely happen.

I've also spoken with my friend about working on some collaborative music via the web, since we are far, far away from each other. And with the assistance of a fellow mogger offering lyrics, I can see some serious potential in this type of project. If anyone is interested, let me know. I'm sure this won't get off the ground right away, but hopefully in the relatively near future it will.
