Website v3 is here!

JT Website v3 is here!

Last September 1st the new version of my website was launched and I can actually say that it’s finished and stable around 99%. The previous version was fine, but I made it in 2013 and it was already obsolete in some aspects (for example, adaptation to cell phones). In fact, for a few years now I thought that at some point I would have to give a new vision and rebuild the site from zero. Since I am actually closing period (The Electronic Years I) and I began a bit in spring to conceptualize this new version, I marked as main objective for this summer to create and finish this new website. The work has been harder and longer than I thought in a beginning, but I believe it hass been worth it. I’m really satisfied with this v3. The website is completely responsive, adapted to cell phones, tablets or different sizes of screen and I have designed a visual and modern style which I hope you like. The bad part is that accesing is slow, as much as it’s a complex and heavy load, but I have wanted to make an ambitious design, thought for the future (and my host is shared 😛 ). My idea is that v3 works as final website and I don’t have to think about new versions in future.

What about the content, I have kept all the old information and I have improved the most of the sections: ‘Biography’, ‘Discography’, ‘Indepent Tracks’, ‘Gallery’ and ‘Contact’ sections… I have added a bit of more information by the way. For example, in the ‘Discography’ section I have added lyrics. I have updated some things too.

In another order of things, I have begun this summer a new metal project with an old friend. Our actual objective is to create a professional production and to record some song. This will be difficult, because we work in distance with each other and this is actually in experimental phase. We will go slowly, we are not in a hurry, but we hope everything works properly if we are patience… It’s complex to make this works, but we are trying… My main role in this moment is production and engineering and everything flows cool here (but slow!). Musically, our starting point will be: Mercyful Fate, King Diamond, Annihilator, maybe a bit of Megadeth… We have some interesting ideas, but we’ll share when the time comes.

What about my own projects, when I finish my transition process I think I’ll concentrate in ambient and experimental electronics, I would like to work for a few of years like artists as Steve Roach, Robert Rich or Ran Kirlian: ambient, improvisations, experimentation, synthesizers, sound exploring, drones, freedom… As I wrote in summer, I want to concentrate in instruments, hardware equipment and spontaneity. Anyway, I have not closed doors and am open to other options… As always, time will pronounce!

But now it’s time in my own projects to close my last period, and I have some pending things:

-To finish the song I began to record for CAUTIVA around two years ago! (75% finished!)

-To finish an ambient study that I began to work around two years ago too! (25% finished 😛 )

-To make some modifications in my studio (well, this is part of the new upcoming period).

-To update some licenses of my albums in digital distribution and licensing for media.

-To work in some retrospectives (I have an interesting idea divided in three parts and a maximum of 4-CD release).

Finishing all this, I’ll be starting my new period (and I’m excited about it!)…

Since for a year I have not been able to do anything related to my music (lack of time), now all this is a big mess. But the important now is that I hope to have some of time every day and little by little things will be made.

Best wishes and stay away from the bug!
