Broken Magic:
When I was living in Birmingham, UK, for many years, one of my flatmates got me playing a card game called "Magic The Gathering". He used to play the game all the time on his Xbox as I was walking through the living room to get to the kitchen. So I thought I'd play him at it once he taught me the rules. Then I downloaded the game on to my old laptop at the time and wanted to beat him (of course, I'm competitive haha) but in one of the games, there was an trippy kinda melody I remember hearing so I wanted to make my version of it.

Cracked open the music software and it didn't feel natural to do a Drum & Bass version so I went for a "Drumstep" track (effectively half the speed of Drum & Bass) and decided to call it "Broken Magic" seeing as the bell melody is so far away from the original music concept, you might call it broken haha.

The artwork is from a music producer (e-un).

Thanks very much to Audio Animals for mastering this and bringing the party feeling to it’s maximum potential!

This is also out as part of the Foundations EP are the first 6 tracks I uploaded after getting them professionally mastered by the Audio Animals and set the foundations for my future music adventures. Each one of course has it’s own story but when put together, on the whole, the Foundations EP shares random tales of getting through to finish the PhD, overcoming physical challenges and then the party time of travelling in celebration! Here is a brief look at what tracks feature on this EP:

Broken Magic – Based on a game I used to play on the Xbox with my house mate (i.e. procrastinating)

I Got Something To Say – I had to keep moving house every year and felt like I couldn’t speak as everything was going a million miles per hour.

3 Peaks – A celebration about completing the UK 3 Peaks Challenge 6 months before finishing my PhD

End of the Tunnel – THE track I made celebrating the end of the PhD in July 2014 – Party time!!

Hasten To Forget – Made when I came back from travelling to take me to a place of tranquillity and just forget about any stresses

I’ll Always Be Around – I made this for a girl I met travelling in that same trip but things didn’t quite work out (they never do) but it concludes the EP nicely!

Have you given @SteemMonsters a go, yet? My feeling is that it plays something simular to The Gathering.

P.S. Nice track! 😎

No I haven't given it a go, I wouldn't know where to start or even have the time to get stuck in to Steem Monsters. I heard it's quite the rage though? I haven't play MtG for many years since I moved out of that house. In fact, I haven't gamed for a long time and switched up to other things like making music and rambling on steem haha.

Thanks for checking the music out man, glad you enjoyed it!

Howdy sir nickyhavey! Lord Fogton here, couldn't understand much of this post but then I don't understand anything about music. Although I do know a good twerker when I see one. lol.
Are you ready to cut your posting in half yet?

I'm not sure about it all yet, I'm still going to post each day for the next few weeks and see how things go. Some posts have actually gone up in post rewards and I'm seeing an improvement in curation rewards too. I'm also joining the community in redistributing rewards on trending posts that are grossly over rewarded.

What about you? Are you changing tactics?

No, I'm just hangin around waiting like you are. It would be nice to drop the posting schedule down to Mon-Fri though.
