A hugely busy day of non-stop computer admin. We Robot and it's single AI And Celebrity is moving distributor and appearing in new places. Due to my inexperience with the system, the iTunes Digital Booklet I've created for We Robot will not ship with the release, but there is a new booklet for AI And Celebrity. A future remaster (!?) can restore the booklet. I could include it with the Bandcamp release. This is a lesson for me to take more care when submitting. Both releases will, however, include high resolution audio on Apple, that is 24-bit.
Most of the day was spent converting my existing Spotify Canvas animations from 30 FPS and 240 frames to 25 FPS and 192 frames, to take them under 8 secs. I did confirm that their new system won't accept exactly-8-second animations. This, for me, involved editing each Argus animation, then re-rendering, recompiling the animations from scratch; this for Gunstorm, A Walk In The Countryside, The Modern Game, Masculinity Two, The Myth Of Sisyphus, Nightfood, Secret Electric Sorcery, Heart Of Snow, Remembrance Service, The Golden Age, and Burn Of God; 91 videos. It is/was exhausting work, charging through the conversion and rendering process.
I still have Cycles & Shadows to do, and more canvases to create, for the new Flatspace Soundtrack, and for the Excessive Consumption single. I also have lots of iTunes booklets to create, but my plan is to do those in small batches as needed.
Still, I'm elated at having done so much today. Onwards I must push.
