Hello,
the name's Yu Chen (or Paul), and MIDI is my game. Well, my sort of hobby anyway. The list of music conveniently placed in the
music player are selected works available for your listening pleasure. All the music
presented here, composed either for fun or for games, are my original
works.

"Champion Road is what Hollywood box office hits are made of… A true American masterpiece with explosive energy and an impeccable all-star cast (Brad james, Monyque Thompson Scott, Balogun, Elizabeth Taveres, Terrance Parham and Ro Brooks) filled with Triumphunt victory against all odds that will blow you away from the very beginning to the very last second."

team. Check out a news coverage (in spanish with english subtitles)

Title: Xanga Blog Type: Programming Involvement: Unofficial JS Scripting Year: 2004 - Present
My javascript blog providing unofficial scripts and service that was once
populated, I need to blog more. Combining PHP and javascript, I aim to create flexible tools
for this blog. But essentially, people visit for my infamous
Logger script
that always seems to have server issues.
Okay, I'm lame, but before you machine gun me with emails showing your discontent, think
about what this section really is? Almost all musician websites have this section.
But what is the purpose of showing it? A person's music shouldn't really be judged
on that long list of equipments the he/she uses. I'm sure if you're a film director,
you'd be more satisified seeing someone's grade A equipments or sound libraries but I
for one honestly believe listening to the music is paramount.
On the other hand, you're probably just curious. I often get asked the libraries I use,
particularly with the brass, fx and drum sounds. Truth is, I don't have any secret tools
or ingredient that I use... they are just ordinary tools. I used to get the same idea
with other people as well, maybe they have some secret mouse orchestral members being bred
in the thin walls of their home so they can record live samples from them. But I'm sure
they get tired of the same questions too. To put it simply...the stuff I use, you can find
it out there too (okay, maybe not all, a bunch are recorded through my skype or gaming
microphones). A lot my sounds that you may think are from sound libraries are really
just good old oscillators at their finest. Well, more like my finest... I'm
constantly trying to create new sounds because I don't want to be one of "those guys"
who uses "those tools". Plus it's more creative this way :) It's not everyday you
hear a basketball, or keys dangling in music.
Occasionally, people ask me instructions on how my scripts/snippets/flash/code
work. Some have even asked me to share the source code. Due to an unfortunate
event that happened a few years back, I will refrain from sharing any source
code. This is simply a minor measure to prevent history from repeating itself.
However, I will still be willing to give guides and tips to aid in the project
you may have intended.
The Flash MP3 Demo Player was built when I was just starting to learn actionscript.
Some back-end functional components were built with unconventional methods or
unexpendable concepts. Therefore, I am currently keeping the source closed.
The Last 20 Logger was also a hit from programmers. This script was modified from my
original logging script which was the first logging tool in the Xanga community. I
opened the source to communities and few months later, I was accused of copyright
infringement. A valuable lesson was learned: No fair games. I regret to say that many
users from the Xanga community aren't very responsible. Playing it safe is still the
way to go.
I originally had some other info here, but then I realized... I'm no professional, and I
don't do this for a living. So really, if you've got a project, hit me up and I'll see
to it. But if I don't have time, then you'll most likely going to have to persuade me
with some sort of payment. But credits must still be given at all times though.
To credit me for custom music, please contact me on how to supply credits
in your project. The formats varies depending on the templates of
your projects credits view.
On the other hand, if I have given you rights to use music from my past archive
please follow this format:
Music by Yu Chen
Kaiyoti.com
Essentially, my band/studio name (Kaiyoti) should show up at all times. If
you want to add "Paul Chen" or "Yu Chen" is entirely up to you.
Keep in mind that even if the music was licensed to you for free, credits must
still be given.
If there's a track that fits the genre of your project and would like the right to use it,
let me know first. Most of my demo* music are free for use, but I stress the word "most".
Please keep in mind that even for free music uses, I still need to be credited. You can check
out the "Credit Me" link or you can always email me directly to discuss about the best way to
credit me for my tracks.
I check my emails on a regular basis so if there are no response from me
within 3 days, that usually means the email was redirected to junk. Unforunately
spam filter from the GMail service is locked and no modifications can be made. Try
to formalize the emails as well as refering to me as Paul or Kaiyoti. It would also
help if you refrain from using the words on the line of "pills", "meds", or "viagra"
in the email inquiries.
A Skype account is something I'm looking into in the near future.
Due to various reasons, I'm not allowing public track downloads yet. However, there will
be tracks available for download from time to time (check music updates). If you would
like to download tracks for pure listening pleasures, fire me an email and I'll provide
you with mp3 links.
Name: Paul Chen, Yu Chen
Band Name: Kaiyoti
Birth: 1986/04/01
I like music, but I like creating them more. Unlike most emerging composers, I do this
for fun. Will it become my profession? That's questionable. But for now, it'll remain as my hobby.
My musical goal is to create a "different" sound without compromising anything. That is to say, I
don't try anything funky, but still leave space for me to explore with music making. Music for me
should be simple, not wildly packed with hardcore musical theories.
I'm also undergoing some developments of my own to produce tools that can "recognize" sounds. This
is probably the most interesting subject behind methods of synthesis. I'll probably get back to this
more once I have something more solid developed.
