The Future of Windows 98の

Well I guess it's time to talk about the future of windows....





I don't know if Windows 98の is gonna shut down completely, at the very least I'm putting it on a hold for a good portion of 2016. After I do the EP on Dream Catalogue as well as the numerous tapes that are in the works (Blue Screen 1, Music For Airports, Internet Reissue, これは魂のために reissue/Blue Screen 2) I'm going to focus on making music as Daniel. As well as possibly doing another full length windows album in 2016 if I can. I'd just like to focus on writing music as Daniel rather than Windows. I'm still working on my live patch for performances, and wrapping up all the things I have here as Windows and Rainbow Cadillac. But musically I'm more interested in not limiting myself to vaporwave or trap or mall soft or whatever. I like writing with a wide palette and writing as Daniel allows me to do that.



I'm super grateful for all that's come while doing Windows. I was just a kid (and pretty much still am) trying to spread my music out there in the big open abyss known as the internet. Now I have a great community of people I rely on everyday. It's amazing how many people react to my albums in such different ways, and all the relief it can provide them. It really makes me happy how my music has impacted people, and honestly, that's all I wanted since the beginning.



So definitely watch out for some Windows live dates soon. As well as all the tapes coming out and the new EP coming out on Dream Catalogue in December, along with a new Rainbow Cadillac album coming to Adhesive Sounds. Windows will still live on as a performance project in 2016. But in terms of albums/EPs the windows front will be silent in that regard. I'll be releasing a solo album as Daniel on a new and exciting label. You can follow my activities as Daniel by following @dsaylorcomposer on Twitter and following me on Soundcloud (https://soundcloud.com/daniel-saylor-compositon). I'll be making a FB page soon. I'll still be using the @windows98wave twitter, but as 2016 rolls on I might not use it as much. We'll just have to wait.



UPCOMING PROJECTS AS DANIEL:



Deptel 243 track Premiere on the Halloween episode of Neon Nights



The Discordance of Dissociatives (for multiple Flutes and Electronics) Premiere (Nov. 2015 at the MATA Jr Festival in NYC)



Nmesh x Viper - Death 2 Snitches (Daniel Saylor Remix)



Waves To Ocean for large Saxophone Ensemble (2016, 8 Players)



Solo album (2016)



Thanks,



Daniel.



p.s. I've emailed Jared about the original internet tapes and I haven't gotten anything back yet. It's been about 5 days...I'm still working with Null Religion for the reissue but they're just incredibly backed up with the F500 Comp and a 猫 シ Corp tape.
