Drop It (tentatively titled) is going to be my second album release (the first being my Auld Lang Sine 3 album, Project Kaisen), and the entirety of it will be available for free right here at fusion2004.com.  My ability to compose and digitally sequence music has increased tenfold since then, but I’m by no means no more than a Hobbyist Musician™.

I hope to finally release by Spring 2011. We’ll see!

-fusion2004

Recorded, sequenced, mastered, and publishing over the course of one weekend as the final project for my Midi Technology course! Features my friend Victor’s guitar playing up until the last lackluster guitar solo (that one was all me).

A mad scientist with a device that allows him to remember events that haven’t happened yet? Or did I just need to finish this song by the day after I started it?

Shortcodes

Shortcodes are a cool feature in WordPress that essentially allows you to do some pretty incredible things by just inserting a “shortcode” into a page or post. Using Shortcodes is a breeze, just insert one where you want the relevant content to show up and, whallah!, it works like magic. Here’s a list of just a few of the shortcodes included in Aspire. Remember to replace any squiggly brackets “{” with square brackets “[“, and for the shortcodes that require customization (like the donation shortcode), edit the information in functions/shortcodes.php. Enjoy these!

1. Related Posts

Related posts are an easy way to get your visitors staying longer on your blog. There’s tons of plugins to display them, but you can also use this simple shortcode and be in business in mere seconds!

{related_posts}

2. Google Charts

Including Google Charts into your posts and pages has never been easier. Just use this shortcode and fill out your own particular details and the chart will be posted automatically, like in this example:
