Hello to anyone who would come across this.
This is still a mostly inactive account. What was stated in the previous update (2010 and then 2017, time flies eh?) still applies. I have however updated the SoundCloud link as I changed my name over there a few years back. I'm now known as Ammari M/S: https://soundcloud.com/ammari-ms
My main creative output is still confined to music. All of the tracks I have uploaded here, and also most of the tracks I have uploaded elsewhere are still free to use for any of your creative projects: animations, games and now apparently Geometry Dash levels. The licensing is the same: Creative Commons - Attribution Only.
There is now somewhat higher of a chance that I may return to this website with something new this year. Let's just say that an idea appeared to me the other day for something I could do for the next Madness Day. It won't be an animation, at least not animated by me. I'm thinking more in terms of music.
The music of the earliest episodes of Madness Combat have been a tremendous influence on me, and I still keep coming back to them. Why not try and remix some of those classic tracks? So I'm thinking I could make an album, or maybe even a series of albums for the next few Madness Days. But for now, I'm starting with the music of MC1 through to 4 plus Madness Interactive. Some of those old Cheshyre and Mmodule tracks could sound really cool with trap, footwork and jungle beats, is what I'm thinking.
Obviously, copyright could be a problem here. Newgrounds isn't like the early 2000s anymore where anything goes. I probably couldn't upload the entire album to the audio portal due to some copyrighted and uncleared samples as well as unsanctioned remixes. But I could probably upload one or two of the Cheshyre remixes (with permission ofc) and link to the rest of the album on SoundCloud and Bandcamp (and it would be free to download). My personal view regarding copyright is still that it is entirely an unecessary constraint on creativity and freedom, and that sampling and remixing anything should be 100% allowed no questions asked. Let it at least be known, again, that all of my original music is free real estate for sampling and remixing so long as credit is given, and I extend the same courtesy to those I sample from.
Anyway, maybe or maybe not this idea will materialize. There are still a good 7 months to make it happen. So long and until next time.

holy shit this was unexpected

You and me both. I did not expect any engagement from me checking in now 6 years after the last time I wrote an update, let alone people still following despite me not having uploaded anything to this site since 2011 and making it clear that I was done with NG.
You know what else was unexpected? That the Madness fandom is still going strong and there's enough new blood in the scene that the only name of an active MC fan content creator I can recognize is Gabriel Barsch. I mean, who even are you? (No disrespect, it really just have been that long!)
So yeah I'm more confident in going forward with the idea of doing some remixes for the next Madness Day and maybe even the next ones after that. I kind of owe it to the community for shaping my taste in music and art, sense of humor and overall creative potential as a weird teenager who grew up on the internet, even if some of that stuff makes me cringe nowadays.
