update time!!!
hi am ele again coming at u 4 months after the last post !!! whoopsies daises !!!
Ok, let's get down to BUSINESS. I ... have a job now !!! [cheering applause] I no longer have to scrap the single dollar funds I get from my music and my parents to buy me some stuff for my crap !!! Now, this means a lot of big things for the channel, most importantly is that videos will be bigger !!! and have budgets !!! (ok i'm done with the !!! i promise) This could be reflected in my thumbnails, where I may have other people make them now, or possibly in what I talk about, and even just basic equipment. I can tell you right now that I have already bought new headphones and some new art for when the channel does eventually return. A major downside though is that my time for making things goes down DRASTICALLY, especially cause I work on the weekends while I am already still in school :( So, things may take longer to come out now, or may not all be made by me, but just understand that it will be easier handing off a few specific smaller tasks to others !!!
Speaking of which, let's talk about the future of ELE for the 21st time (or something close to that). I feel that for the first time in YEARS, I finally have a plan that feels semi-possible and realistic !!! I am going to spend November finishing up what I can of my next musical project (more on that later) and starting drafts on the first proper video of 'ELE: BEYOND !!!' I already outlined what this video was going to be over a YEAR ago, and I'm so excited to finally start making it because it just celebrated a very IMPORTANT anniversary that I NEED to make this video before it passes completely. So, be on the lookout for it, hopefully sometime around December!!! I'm going to keep updating about it in these posts so be excited :)
Streams are also a big subject of interest on the channel, and trust me, they are COMING BACK... soon. I'm SORRY, OKAY??? I DON'T KNOW RIGHT NOW!!! I know I want them to come back just as much as some of you all do, but right now I'm currently swamped with finishing up this musical project, starting on this video (establishing branding and new settings, characters, backgrounds comes with that too...yeesh!), and trying to work through schoolwork and my job. I would if I were superhuman, but I can't right now... sorry !! I'm also working on the silksong video occasionally in the background; don't think I've forgotten about it, and trust trust trust... I will BE THERE when the DLC drops.
NOW. THE MUSIC !!! big updates here. I'm glad to finally announce that on January 1st, of 2027, I will be dropping the deluxe edition of #GAMINGPOP: [FOREVER]. It is likely my biggest project to date, currently sitting at a mind-boggling 36 minutes of fully produced music for UR EARS !!! I'm working on making a over 4 month rollout that starts (hopefully) TOMORROW... So don't worry, you'll have something to chew on while I work on other things as well :)
There will be the 7 old tracks, which have all been touched up in some way. Some got small mixing changes, while others were completely remixed or rewritten; check the list below!!
- workonlater_final (been out for a while. longer 3rd chorus, more vocal effects & layers, more synths)
- Login (light vocal & minor mixing touchups)
- Discontent (added instruments and minor mixing touchups)
- Voicemail (redone 3rd verse and minor mixing touchups)
- Circles (redone singing at parts and minor mixing touchups)
- The Big Man Upstairs (rewrote ALL lyrics, major mixing touchups)
- just stop making music!!! (MAJOR production touchups)
alongside those, there will be 5 new tracks, of which their contents will remain hidden for now... four of them were cut from the mixtape for various reasons while its making, and one is a very special track that is very specifically self-indulgent to me :) you can find out which that is.
- [#######] (interlude)
- [showrunner]
- [flicker]
- [nerves*]
- [i think this one is called "pronouns"]
i hope you are as EXCITED as I am... cause I got a lot to reveal :) The rollout properly starts TOMORROW with the login lyric video with the revised mix coming up !! Also, big news!!! I am switching distributors, so you may see some weird stuff happening with my music on streaming platforms for a while, but this will also mean that 'fragmented gameries+' will finally join my streaming profile, alongside a few updated mixes here and there! no dates as of yet for when this will fully take place, but just know it'll happen before the next update most likely :)
Speaking of which, UPDATES !!! I'm going to TRY to go for an update every other week on Thursdays, but no promises as of now. If I don't update this blog, just assume that nothing really of note has changed since the last post :/ Try to keep an eye out on socials and my website, both of which are the best ways to keep up with me :D
And lastly, thank u so much for sticking along thru this journey to get here! We're starting to finally reach the start of a new era with 'ELE: BEYOND !!!', and I hope you all are equally as excited as I am to get into this era :) below are some sneak peeks at all of the things I talked about (other than streams, sorry), so please take a look and enjoy !!!
XOXO, ELE!
