NGADM 2012

Hi folks, just a quick announcement to let you guys know I'll once again be trying my luck in the NGADM (Newgrounds Audio Deathmatch), which will take place from July to November. Wish me luck!

Also, as the title indicates, I was offered a role last week to act in a movie straight out of Hollywood. I'm under NDA right now, so I can't say what it is, but it's part of a very popular ongoing saga that many of you guys surely know of coming next year. I've just finished shooting the first scene I'm part of, another of which will be shot in the middle of July. It was a really fun experience, and this actually just opened me a slew of opportunities for having my name in other Hollywood productions in the coming years!

For now that's pretty much all I can say without having them suing my ass, but I just wanted you guys to know!

Hey there, now has it not been a long time since I updated this!

I've been held up doing so many projects in the past month that it's been hard to find the time to update this, but now that things are clearing up, I thought it'd be a good time to let you guys in on what I've been up to recently.

To start off, I've just finished with a movie project I've been working on which involved the recording of the soundtrack as well as a shooting for the videoclip for the soundtrack, which I've included to this post (link in case it's broken). The director for the movie as well as the musical director were both real cool guys and they said they really enjoyed working with me and will be using my services again in the future, which is pretty awesome!

I've also been hard at work on a very big project as a musical director for a drum corps, in which I teach, compose/arrange and supervise development for. It's a very formative job, as well as endearing, since I have the opportunity to see my music come to life. You can check out a video of a practice done three weeks ago of one of my arrangements. (I'm the one playing 1st trumpet)

Other than that, I've been doing lots of small gigs on the side, writing, directing and performing for a theater production, national sporting events and small movies. I'm currently not working, so this is the only thing keeping me afloat.

I'm also hard at work with my semester, which ended up being much different than what was originally expected. Seems lie I won't be doing any actual composition before either next semester or the one after that. In stead, I've been rehearsing with a Jazz Trio, where we'll be interpreting three songs that I very much enjoy, so expect videos/audio of this soon!

Lastly, I've just received my latest instrument to add to my collection, and so I decided to make a quick photoshoot of part of my instrument collection. I've included it here, but if you want detailed information as to what is contained in the image, I'd recommend to read this post I made.

In any case, I think I'm just about done. I wish you all luck in your finals (if they're not already done), and I should be getting active again once my semester is over two weeks from now. Until then, I bid you farewell!

Cheers,
Sam

Alright, finished working on my Dreams of Splendor submission, and I suggest to everyone reading this to give it a quick listen!

I've had to cut my plans a bit short for this competition considering I started working on it only three days from the deadline, but I'm still happy with how it came out. I'll still be working on it, possibly entering the Orchestral MAC organised by BrokenDeck.

In other news, I was accepted this past month to a composition program in what I consider the best college (not to be confused with University) in the country, and I'll be starting on the 18th of February. In this program, I will be taught new recording techniques, will learn how to properly mix, new compositional tactics and will have the honor to record my compositions with more amazing artists than I could ever have hope for, so expect a lot of amazing stuff to start to come out soon!

I am still accepting review requests for my fans, although if you'd still like a review, you can send a PM my way or reply to this newspage and I'll see what I can do!

I leave you all with a screencap from my DoS submission, entitled Pictures of Things to Come.

Been a while since I actually updated, mostly due to my involvement in the NGADM (where I finished fourth in a competition against over 200 other artists), having a very time-consuming job and generally feeling lazy. Whichever the case, I've finally found the combination of time and will to do so.

So let's start this by celebrating a milestone I frankly didn't think I'd attain before quite a while longer, that is, of reaching 50 fans! I'd like to thank everyone of you for showing interest in my work, and I promise to keep bettering myself in every new song I put out.

As a thank for previous fans and perhaps gain a few extras, I'm offering to give out critique to anyone who follows me, as long as they ask for it in the comment section or by PM. I must warn that I am reputed to be very harsh when it comes to critique, but will always be fair. I'd like to thank my friend Bosa for the idea.

As for my upcoming projects here on NG, I've done some collaborations with Kor-Rune (seriously, go check out his amazing work, it's a wonder he isn't already big) already, but what is yet to come will be on a completely different scale, going for even bigger and more ambitious, so definitely keep an eye out for those in the near future.

I'll also officially be recording my song Etude this friday in a professional recording studio with my studio musicians, and will afterwards me mixed and mastered by none other than NG based Tomppaah. In the future, we expect to make a permanent band formation with the studio lineup, and so expect a lot good things to come out of this, as we will be playing my own compositions!

As a parting word, I'd like to thank everyone for the incredible amount of support I've received in the past few months, all the new friends and colleagues I've made on this site and all the wonderful opportunities I've been given by this community to grow as an artist. I owe so much to you guys and couldn't possibly thank you all enough!

Cheers,
Samuel Hébert

Alright, been a while since I posted a status update, so I thought this would be as good a time as any!

In any case, I've entered the RAC (Represent A Country) for a third consecutive time. For those who weren't aware, I got second place by a single point last year, so I'm not having any of that this year. You can listen to my submission HERE, a second one will join soon.

I also forgot to mention it, but I succeeded in making it into the third round of the NGADM (Newgrounds Audio Deathmatch) and am now in the quarter-finales! You can listen to my winning entry HERE.

Lastly, I recently finished to build my studio setup, or at least one that's fully up and operational. I also got robbed of an important part of my setup, the hard drive that contained all my samples from the East-West Complete Composer's Collection. It's fortunately recoverable for a fraction of the price, but it's still a huge drawback, and the main reason why the last piece I submitted to the NGADM sounds surprisingly low-fi. I should get it back once I get the money, which should be around the end of the month hopefully.

In any case, here's a pic of my finally functional studio setup.

Cheers,
Samuel Hebert

Hey guys, just a quick heads up to let you know I've just finished my NGADM submission!

I've put over 50 hours into it, and I consider it one of my best tracks yet, so come take a listen!

In other news, the studio I'm currently building is coming along nicely. I might post some pics soon once I find a decent way to take pictures, as I'm currently piss-poor and can't afford a camera.

Pic related.

Cheers,
Samuel Hebert

Heyo, everybody!

Just a quick heads-up on my latest track, Mild-Arabic, which you can find HERE.

I've taken extra care into making this song as authentic as possible, so hope you guys enjoy!

Also, as an extra treat, here's one of my favorite tracks of my main inspiration into the making of this track. I'd seriously recommend this artist to anyone wanting to get into ethnojazz, or general jazz for that matter.

Cheers,
Samuel Hebert
