Song To Work To - April 9th - Orson - Already Over

Submitted by Mark on Mon, 04/09/2012 - 11:14

Could you call this an oldie yet?

It's a few years old, but I always found Orson good background music while working.

Growing Pains....

Hi guys,

You might have noticed Elf Knows It was offline for the past few days, this was my choice. Basically we had run way over the allowance on our hosting, and the only way to let the level of traffic to go back down was to put the elf to sleep for a bit.

But we're working on this, I'm currently looking for new servers to handle the amount of traffic we are currently receiving (which is great!) but this is proving to be come with a cost.

SKRILLEX - Scary Monsters And Nice Sprites - Remake

Submitted by Mark on Sat, 03/17/2012 - 00:41

Here's a remake of a Skrillex tune I put together, the melody of this has been in my head for a few days now, so I got bored tonight and made my own version of Scary Monsters And Nice Sprites.

It's not really a full song, more a proof of concept! Seeing what I could do with the melody and not melt my speakers with wobbles and bass drops....

Apologies for Downtime

Submitted by Mark on Thu, 03/15/2012 - 21:10

Hi guys,

You might have noticed that we have been experiencing some downtime lately, this is because we are getting too big for our boots.

We are currently experiencing more traffic than our web servers can handle, so this means only one thing, we have to expand :)

This is both good and exciting, this means Elf Knows It is growing and we need to grow with it.

So I'm currently working on a new server setup for us here at Elf Knows It and we should be moved across soon.

We'll keep you updated!

Thanks,
Mark

Mark Brennan - Small Town Outro - Original Piece

Submitted by Mark on Sun, 02/26/2012 - 12:42

Over the years I have built up large amounts of music that I have created, be it small clips, full songs, you name it! So I have decided to start posting some of these clips here and on YouTube. Lets kick it off....

This was a little outro I created for a song I wrote with a band a few years back, the song was called "Small Town", the band was "Lead Balloon".

My Twitter Is Alive!

Submitted by Mark on Sat, 01/07/2012 - 22:58

Yes, I have a Twitter account, nearly as old as Twitter itself, but I never really used it much, the most action it had seen was relaying some posts from here etc. But the Twitter bug has got me....

It all started when I decided to install the Twitter app in my phone, just for some giggles, but this was my mistake (opportunity?). I'm hooked.....
