The JM Instrumentals Challenge

These are the 14 track instrumental albums I was able to make from late 2016 to summer 2017

Fear facer

AdoboVision

JMReversal: Face Fear

JMCombo: Face to Facer

No Convention

JMReversal: Vista Adobo

That's 84 songs. Three original albums, no sampling (I did add smart drum to my original drum tracks for fear facer and AdoboVision), and three partially original unique remix albums all on a music program in my cellphone with organic live instruments. It's been a challenge to keep going without support and recognition especially on challenging financial times amid upkeep of past projects (including an 18 album audiobook opus of sketch draft music albums, an original album for "A God Production" called Shelter (2014) and one for JMStudios called "Friend TV (2015)" and the juggling of 16 different online departments for A God a production and JMStudios, but I'm fighting exhaustion. 

It's fall 2017 and I'm currently working on the combo album for adobo vision called:  Adobo:ObodA. 

If you read this, please check out Fear Facer, Adobo Vision, and No Convention. They can be heard on YouTube on the JoyManifest channel.

Disclaimer: This is all a "Work in Progress"

This and all of my blogs are a continuing rotating work in progress revised daily. There will by typos and mistakes. If any stand out please leave a comment exposing it. Doing so will bring the problem to my attention quicker allowing me to fix it more promptly. Also, if there is any content you wish to see that hasn't been posted or released yet please let me know what it may be. The progress of this entire series of projects/work in progress depends on you.

Also, many of the projects I will share online such as: sketch draft Novel albums like euphoria and apathy sequence and prodigy sequence album 1 were made on a very low budget with limits on time as well, same with the literary novel version of Prodigy Sequence which I may also someday release.  I do not have producers, editors, high end software or equipment, etc. I thank God for everything that has ever gone right with my work. That said, the success of these projects depends on you and your support. 

Thank you for your time. :)

Joe Melendez: Bio

I'm a multimedia artist/writer who, since 2002, has been working on "The Drianna Sequences," a futuristic mythology about a futuristic world where there is no hindrance to our dreams.

I started with a solid foundation in Christianity at the Vineyard Christian fellowship. 

•My first school was Logos Primary school.

•For middle school, I attended Gospel Outreach.

• I attended high school at the Chicago Academy for the Arts, and there I received an education in fine arts. 

While at the academy, I learned: life drawing, painting, printmaking and sculpture among other things. I also began dabbling in poetry; It was a natural way for me to express my feelings when bored in class. 

The social justice oriented subject matter they taught would profoundly change forever the way I viewed life.

M.I.A.D. Era

When my time at the academy ended, I attended the Milwaukee institute of Art and Design, there I learned a variety of design techniques, it was the first time I made art digitally. I also dabbled in film and video, as well as my first animation class. Durring my time at M.I.A.D. I experimented with being a vocalist and emcee on my spare time. 

It was a lonely time where I began what would become the multimedia massive project, the Drianna sequences. 

During my first summer at M.I.A.D. my brothers and I sang on stage in San Antonio Texas in front of a large crowd. It was the first time I ever did that in my life, the thrill was indescribable. That period was like a renaissance 

Columbia Era

I attended Columbia college in 2005 and learned 2d, stop motion, and 3D animation. I also wrote in that time my trilogies "A Desolate Sequence" (a 9 sketchbook long rough draft) and "Prodigy Sequence." As a set of three literary novels. I would graduate and earn my degree in 2007.

One of the greatest experiences I had  in my life was running the aftercare program and teaching art to middle and high school students at "Eagles wings Urban Academy." I thank God for every sacred life I was responsible to guard and teach, and I did so adamantly. No Matter what was going on in my life at the time, when it was time to do my job, I put myself aside to be the best I could be for them. The memory of that time fuels me to this day. 

Post college (2008-2013)

I have worked modest jobs since that time, doing the best I could and can given what I knew and know not to sell out and to maintain my integrity. I fell on my face many times in many ways, but I always strived to create art I believed in and always tried to give it a social justice point of view. 

After a few botched, embarrassing, efforts I regret, I finally came up with TheJadeMachine, my first consistant online Vlogging effort. There I was able to utilize many of the film teqniques I learned doing allot with alittle. I also made it my buisness whether giving my opinion about a music industry trying to force a dumb down on the public or showcasing my. Artistic abilities to "make art and speak heart."

During that time,  I recorded 2 multimedia trilogies consisting of 9 music album sets "Apathy Sequence" and "Euphoria Sequence".  

I have always wanted my art to be pure and for my stories not to be chewed up and spit out by an entertainment industry that fused the creativity of artists worldwide to lies propaganda deceit and content that does not feed us what we need, but keeps us stagnant, limited, and does not help us reach our fullest potential as individuals or as species in love. 

2013-present

From online projects, to the continuation of my work, I have strived to keep integrity, and the desire for a better world, alive, striving to live for love and peace! I have struggled with homelessness because of these things, but I strive to do maintain integrity in all that I do.

Volunteering for my church WAS the best job I have ever worked in my life. It inspired me to write another trilogy thus "Stratagem Sequence" is currently in the works.

I thank God for every blessing in my life, I love honor and respect Jesus Christ who was there for me through thick and thin. His words and viewpoints, when seen through the eyes of love, are life giving. My words do not do His contribution justice. 

I love the Son of Man, who I believe to a a great extent is the inner Child. I have lived for it since high school and have strived to protect it. It is a focal point in practically everything I've written, and continues to be worth living for, loving, and defending against the destructive things of this world. Nowadays whether through my art, or with my relationships, I live to follow The top two commandments of Jesus: "love the Lord my God, who is Love, with all my heart soul mind and strength," and "love my neighbor as myself." 

There's more to be written, and I look forward to what blessings will come next.

JM Product Still-Life Art

http://joymanifestst.blogspot.com/2017/03/jm-product-stilllives.html

JMStudios department "JoyManifest" showcases pictures both conceptual classic art still life and photo based art of real JMStudios Products. 

Through this window, you will be able to see what JMStudios products are available and what products will be available in the future. The availability of these products depends on your support. 

For the time being, the products are advertized in futuristic backgrounds in JoyManifest. In the future, I would like to have this available in the Drianna sequences.

I long for the day when joy manifest can showcase the product artwork as a real life display. Something to look forward to.

JM Studios: Plans and Ideas (Work in progress)

JM studios is a project where my desires for a better mor loving world are brought to life.

The goal is to inspire and encourage the audience to help make our best most wonderful hopes happen in life.

Ideas are constantly showcased and made better in a constant work in progress for the audience to see. These concepts will be showcased in a variety of multimedia formats. 

Images of work that does and doesn't exist yet will be presented as beautiful works of art to be displayed. 

I hope that any progress to be had from these works of art will be honorable and good and that they will help us grow together and be the better for it in unison. 

JM studios, this multimedia art project, is a flower petal on the flower's disc of love.  It is also is the encapsulating department of my overall body of work. 

These are the sub departments of JMStudios:

• The Drianna Sequences: futuristic concepts of my best most wonderful hopes for a better world. sequences that depict dilemmas in thrilling futuristic formats that challenge the characters within and us to change reality for the better.

TheJadeMachine: where life becomes abstract in ultra creative ways and heart is spoken in ways that challenge society to change for the better.

•JoyManifest: a department in which good concepts are developed technically and everyday reality is enhanced via hyper and effective realism. It is the place that showcases JMInstrumentals. 

It also provides a behind the scenes look on projects from The Drianna Sequences. 

JMStudios showcases the best of all three sub departments, everything from physical products, to concepts. Their content can (especially JM studios content) be presented in galleries.

• Through the other departments, JM studios, and said aspects, are a novel about an honest business that would like to present galleries, a restaurant/cafe, movies, graphic novels, the list goes on. it tells the audience concept art that is or will be real art product. it is info about integrity rich adventure everyone can enjoy that can help others achieve the same thing. 

it is up to us to be united in love, understanding, wisdom, peace, honesty and communication to manefest our dreams with integrity. 

A God Production is the standard and filter I to keep the work morally sound and love based. A place where projects like JM studios can be shown in AGodProduction in if the content truly is morally sound, good right, pure and lovely. 

I hope others would do the same as I long for all of us to be petals on the flower disc of love.

Welcome to JMStudios
As of right now, JMStudios consists of 3 constantly improving Studio departments:

• Studio 1: "The Drianna Sequences," showcases a  futuristic mythology I started in 2002 about a futuristic world of innovation and adventure in a variety of ways. 

• Studio 2: TheJadeMachine was started in 2009, it's primary purpose is to make abstract creative art with no limits and to speak heartfelt matters as need be. 

• Studio 3: JoyManifest officially began in 2014. It's purpose is to make reality as enjoyable as posibe with little to no assistance from fiction or the abstract, it is also the premier place for instrumentals, song parts, and first run, raw unedited song takes. Though hit or miss sometimes, JoyManifest aims to alter reality for the better.  

JMStudios is a multimedia Project that contributes to making life better in all facets.
