Okay, I've been a little bit down and depressed lately - can't play guitar with this stupid cyst, lost power for 5 days, holidays coming up (always get the holiday blues), so I need a boost. Yeah, I'm posting the latest numbers on downloads of my albums.
It's not like it actually means anything; it just makes me feel good that people like my music.
Here goes:
Bryson's Universe 4,222
Aetherial Art of Decay 3,541
Leprosia Doom 1,722
I Am Become Daevel 1,455
Dimaensia Nexus - Improvisations for the Ancients 816
Ugotllathath 733
End of an Era 727
1st iZ LaZt - The Daevellation Suite 588
Deus Fetor, Pt2 422
Loco-Motives 409
Cyberthief Strikes Again 126
Total: 14,761 downloads
Don't know why so few people have downloaded "Cyberthief". I actually like some of the tunes on that one. Some very weird covers. Very weird. And I think the production on it is actually pretty good, too. Oh well.
Well, the song titles are hyperlinks to get to the download pages, so go ahead and help yourselves.
I personally want to thank the 14,761 obviously mentally deranged people who have downloaded my albums. Please seek professional help. Really.

The Dimaex Principae - the Mythology of Dimaension X
Well, my twisted, yet hopefully somewhat creative mind has been coming up with a "history" of Dimaension X - a "mythology", if you will, to have a storyline behind the music, the musician, and the universe. It may be a little convoluted, being a first draft I wrote during lunch at work, so forgive my own discrepancies and plot holes.
Here goes, ...
07/31/08 - The Dimaex Principae
Dimaension X, an alternate universe, or "dimaensional alter-reality quantum anti-phase" ruled by The Supreme Lord Daevel. Leprosia is the main planetary body, the "capital" center of the universe, in which there are 3 suns, each with 3 planets. The other 2 main planets are Necropoli and Thanatos.
The Dimaex Principae is the secret theory developed by the Supreme Magicks Council of Leprosia that Dimaension X is in reality an "alternate" dimension of the "true existing dimension of reality"; a parallel universe of the true plane of existence (called "The 1st Plane" and sometimes "Bryson's Universe") where only one planetary body (mysteriously called "Iirth") in the main solar system of nine planets actually supports life.
Iirth is said the be the original planet where all human life began, and was altered when a series of theories concerning alternate planes of existence were put into practice, causing a "rip in the very fabric of existence, space and time", creating an alternate plane - "Dimaension X".
The residents "created" in this plane were basically "copies" of those from the "1st Plane", snapping immediately into existence with no knowledge of who or what they were - causing immediate and absolute chaos on a planetary scale - war broke out - most of civilization immediately fell and was destroyed - 85% of the population was killed, or died of disease, starvation, or other various reasons.
Only a small group of people retained memory of the 1st Plane, mainly the scientists involved in the Primary Application of the Dimaex Principle - the lead physicist, Dr. Iam Bekum Daevel assuming the role of self-appointed leader, eventually becoming a tyrannical dictator - the rest of the scientists either became his fanatical followers or were hunted down and assassinated. Daevel, being brilliant, but somewhat eccentric and egotistical, also found that by applying further theories of his Dimaex Principae, that reality could in fact be further altered to his whim. He utilized this knowledge to create his new identity; that of a Master of Black Wizardry (which only he and his followers understand that there is no real "magick" - just the application of scientific principles and the laws of physics, which in this plane of existence are very different than that of the universe containing Iirth).
Daevel has strictly enforced rules regarding education and science to a very small segment of the population, who are loyal to him and his ideals. Certain levels of technology above that of the "Bronze Age" equivalent are forbidden. However, Lord Daevel has continued his own forbidden research of The Further Theoretical Analyses of the Dimaex Principae, causing the two alternate dimensions to begin to "bleed" into one another - bringing "copies" of the people into each other's realities, ... becoming extremely confusing when one of these people might already be deceased in the other plane. This phenomena has become known as the Necropolisean Duplex.
A select group of rebels, members of the original Scientific Council of Iirth who were not assassinated, managed to found their own secret society dedicated to the downfall of Lord Daevel, and the Supreme Magicks Council of Leprosia.
More ideas to be added later, ... hopefully this kind of "fleshes out" some of the concepts behind some of my music.
thanX,
Dimaension X (or perhaps I Am Become Daevel, Himself??)

New Worx - Last is First
Hey, here's a progress report on the latest Dimaesnion X news, ... (like anyone actually cares...)
I decided to work on the last of the series of the four all-MIDI albums first (originally titled "MIDI Metal, The Final Chapter")- since it is actually very similar to "I Am Become Daevel" - much use of symphonics and classical themes. Though not many guitar solo spots within these particular songs, so we may have to rectify that. I have pretty much finished re-working the basic MIDI tracks and arrangements, subject to my whim and actual playing ability. And some parts I may just remove entirely.
Once I'm done with this particular album, I really don't know how I'm going to handle the other three. They have a lot more very fast fusiony keyboard work that I'll NEVER be able to actually play on guitar. I just have to figure out the best synth sounds that won't sound cheesy, and just avoid playing guitar parts that I can't play.
Actually, a good reference might be an album by Anders and Jens Johansson with Allan Holdworth called "Heavy Machinery". It's mainly lots of fast synths and drumwork, a sort or metallic jazz-fusion, where the only actual guitar playing is during Holdsworth's guitar solos. Otherwise, it's just synths and drums, but still some great music. I'll have to listen to that one again before working on my stuff, just to "borrow" some ideas and try to re-create some fo the synth sounds.
Oh, I revised some of my Myspace page. I am now streaming my "Bryson's Universe" album for your listening displeasure. If you like it, please feel free to download and distribute at will.
Any ideas, comments, questions, etc., are welcome. Use the comments section, or go to my Myspace page and leave a message. I'll try to work on my tunes this weekend in between all the other usual stuff.
... and another thing... supposedly, a music-blog page called The Ripple Effect is going to review one of my albums, so keep your eyes and ears peeled. They seem to have very similar tastes in music to yours truly, so it might be interesting.
ThanX.
