~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Elephant in the Room ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Well, first and foremost, OIL PASTEL IS STILL NOT CANCELLED! I would have to fry all of my brain cells for me to say that. Second, it's not continuing production yet either; it's currently on hiatus. Why? I'll get to that. Currently, Oil Pastel is in a state of limbo, meaning while it's not "dead", it's not in production for the time being. The reason why is because I am still cleaning up my files. During this time period, I decided to not download anything until all my files are sorted out. This will greatly affect Oil Pastel (since it relies heavily on sampling) and my activity on DeviantArt (since I have to download images before posting them). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Another, Related Announcement ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Another announcement, I might replace JWOL (Track 7). JWOL was going to showcase the impact of John Lennon's death through Beatles samples, but I scrapped it for two reasons: 1. At this point, you might've already guessed I'm a Beatles addict; a 'Beatlemaniac', if you will. However, I don't want to sound too biased (I try to incorporate samples that will hopefully be diverse). 2. I have a track that will hopefully be better than JWOL; it's called "Wolf". Overall, I'm not sure JWOL would even be that good on the album. It was basically going to be the "Revolution 9" of the album, to the point that it even samples the song itself. So... what exactly is this new track, "Wolf"? - It's a track that includes my voice. That's all I can say without saying the track names or otherwise spoiling too much. ~~~~~~~~~~ Conclusion ~~~~~~~~~~ So, In short, if you want Oil Pastel Track 5 (and onward), I suggest you be patient. Oh yeah, for you detectives out there, I also hinted some lines for Track 5! They're in the project, but these aren't the lines verbatim. The audio is one of my samples I'll use for "Goat Cheese of Camelot". Psst... if you want to be on a ping list, just ask!
