Well, hello there my good people. Hope you had a lovely Christmas this year. It's that time once again - a review of the year that has passed, from a Stuffed Duck Productions point of view. Let's get into it!
January
I announced that there would be a new n-Somnia EP, which would later become "Harbinger", and I also announced a sequel to n-Somnia's first compilation album, which was supposed to be called "n-Somnia 2.0". This would later be renamed to "Singularity", as you should know by now.
Gosney released the "Beyond Thy Madness" album and the "Seaman" single.
Before these things, I revealed some possible plans for the year to come. However, I can safely say that only a small portion of these plans actually happened, unfortunately.
February
I did a full blog review of the first ever Roxette concert in New Zealand, which I just had to attend. They are partially responsible for most of the things I do on this website after all.
Gosney released the "6540" album and the "Swamp" single.
March
Forbes writes his first blog entry of 2015. Unfortunately, this would be the last until December, for reasons I can't explain. You'll need to ask him.
I attended the Armageddon Expo for this year, and got the chance to film the Q&A panel for New Zealand actor, Karl Urban. It can be found on YouTube.
Gosney released the "Memory" album. The date of the final Gosney release is announced also.
n-Somnia's "Harbinger" EP tracklist was revealed.
April
The final Gosney release, "The End Days" is unleashed upon the world, thus ending the project.
This month, I announced that I would be appearing on a monthly basis on Plains FM in Christchurch for my radio show, "Forgotten Favourites".
May
It was all about the radio show this month. I made my debut on the 30th and it went rather well.
June
I announced that I will be retiring the video series, "Trying Stuff", but not until after 2 specific episodes have taken place. These episodes are still yet to be filmed.
However, one "Trying Stuff" episode was released this month. It was filmed during Christmas 2014 and guest stars my oldest nephew, Mathew, as we attempt to tackle the Gummy Ghost Pepper.
I announced that some changes to our YouTube channel will be taking place. These are still going to happen. Promise...
n-Somnia's "Harbinger" EP was made available for pre-order.
July
Only one blog entry was made this month. It made it official that Forbes and I were putting our collaboration projects in hiatus mode, due to our inability to get time off work simultaneously as of late. It was very busy for us as individuals this year.
August
I was scheduled to appear as n-Somnia on Pulzar FM's "Grid City Grooves" show to promote the "Harbinger" EP, but had to postpone due to illness.
September
I eventually made the previously mentioned appearance on Pulzar FM, leading to the release of the EP the next day.
October
There were no blogs this month!
November
I released what would be the last n-Somnia album ("Singularity" compilation) and single ("Rocketchild (Where Did You Go?)") for a while, as it went into hiatus mode immediately after their release.
December
Forbes makes a surprise comeback in the blogging world with 2 new entries!
And there you have it! That was 2015 in the SDP world. Not too much to report, really. We were more active at the beginning, but hopefully that will change in 2016.
Hope you all have a safe and happy new year. We'll see you then!
