So I sent a random idea for a song to Josh a week or so ago. 20 minutes later he sent the idea back with a whole new twist on it that pretty much made me shit myself. After tweaking it on and off between the 2 of us, I finally just decided to post it for the hell of it. Who would have thunk it would make best of the week, lmao. I guess that just goes to show what Josh and I can do when we actually work on a song together, hahaha. The new song is called "Lost in Ambience". It's pretty much what the title says it is. An extremely relaxing but sweet ass song that everyone should throw on their ipods. Give it a listen and tell us what you think!

Yeah, When jason sent me his Idea, I had this immediate idea to build onto his. It went in a different direction and Jason was ok with that. He's got some awesome ideas and he's pretty flexible when it comes to letting me run with them. The song turned out pretty good (for about an hours worth of 'work'). I'm happy it made best of the week at the #1 spot.
Also, feel free to jump on over to http://www.kelwynshade.com and check out my solo stuff along with some KTRecords stuff.

We've gotten quite a few offers and requests to help with various projects recently. The biggest one so far is with a flash author by the name "Badim". I've guess we've kinda become his partners and we've been pretty damn busy with that. So, anytime you want to hear KTRECORDS music, you're probably going to have to check his games, lol. We have also been quite busy with school too, but every once in awhile we try to get together and crank out a tune here and there. I have posted one just recently, but we'll have to see how long it stays up there. It seems there has been an explosion of zero-bombers lately... Pretty immature if you ask me, but hey, that's the internet for you! If people don't have anything better to do than colaborate with their newgrounds buddis and vote down massive amounts of songs in their free time, them more power to them. Who knows though... maybe they'll grow up?

Josh and I have been crazy busy lately. Josh has started school again to be in video game design somethin like that, and I have been stressing over my accounting homework. Fortunately, in all the craziness, Josh and I have still been able to pump out a few songs here and there.
Josh released a few new songs on his solo account account last week. Probably my favorite one would be Kaim Reborn . It's a tribute to the awesomeness that is Lost Odyssey. If you haven't played it...I recommend you give it a try. It the best rpg I've played in a looooooooong time.
I was personally able to get a new song out as well, though I just posted it under the KTRECORDS logo instead of using my own account since for whatever reason, I can't post music on it. This new song is *What Have I Done?* . This is the first song I've ever made that I have actually been happy with the final product. It draws a lot of influence from Josh's style of music, which we both tend to get a big laugh out of. It makes sense though since I have been learning most of my music creation from Josh anyways, lol.
Also, Josh has been hired to make music for the game series called Elite Forces. Make sure you hit up his page at kelwynshade to give him props. It's not every day you get paid to do something you enjoy :) .
Well, that's all I have today. Stay tuned for more updates to see what's happening in the world of KTRECORDS!

So I might as well throw something on here. Unfortunately Josh and I have been pretty busy with life (school, work, etc.) lately, so we've been havin a harder time getting together to make music. Obviously that shows since we've really only had one co-op project posted in friggin months (Fist of Fire loop). Josh has been pounding out music of his own at home under his solo acct Kelwynshade. He also has gotten his own site up and running at www.kelwynshade.com. You should check out that site and see some of the crazy updates he's got goin on over there.
I have posted a few of my original WIPs under the KTR logo since newgrounds is havin trouble posting my music under my own personal accout. Suprisingly enough, Link's Reflection got a 6th place on the front page of the audio portal! I don't really know if it deserves that high of praise, but I won't complain. I thank all the people that enjoyed it, and maybe someday I'll work on it some more and actually finish something, lol.
Also, Afro-Ninja is almost done with his new game Territory War Online. That game comes complete with more KTR music, a couple solos from Josh which have already been posted and then an OOOOLLLLDDDDD song made by me as well. Maybe I'll eventually post that on here, but I fear the raping it'll probably get since I made it even before I really got into music creation, so... it's uh... yeah.... I guess if Afro-Ninja liked it enough to put in his game, it shouldn't be too bad though right?
Also I am the official voice actor in Territory War Online! Go me! I get all of 3 lines lmao!
Ok, I rambled. I'm gettin outta here. More likely nobody read this whole ramblefest anyways, lmao. Thanks again for the support and we'll catch you later!

After a month and a half of hard work from Josh, the complete Afro Ninja Theme is finished. It's completely different from the normal KTR style, so please check it out and comment on what you think. Maybe we can try something like it again sometime. Feel free to check out our other stuff as well. Also, check out Josh's solo work at http://kelwynshade.newgrounds.com/ . His songs like "Path of Memories" will be sure to blow you away. That's all for today, hope you enjoy our music!
