Blog

In the year and a half since I built the second version of the Paper Plane Pilot website, much has changed around here. I’ve added a couple releases, joined a few social sites, started a blog and even created a store. So it’s not surprising that a version three would show up sooner or later.

Looking back to where it all began, even back to the other sites I used before I settled on the Paper Plane Pilot name, version three represents a big step forward.

Version one of this site served as not much more than a repository for song ideas and a quick outline of the Paper Plane Pilot project as I worked on the tracks that would ultimately form First Flight.

Version two, on the other hand, featured streaming music, a store to purchase and download that music, and lots of other media and information. As Paper Plane Pilot grew, so, too, did the site. I changed and added sections, and for more than a year the site has held its own.

I liked the site, but as with many redesigns, I looked for a change that would update the look and feel of the site, as well as lay the foundation for things to come.

Here’s the homepage of the new site:

While there are a lot of similarities between v2 and v3, the new site, in my eyes, is better for many reasons.

• First, there’s a new logo.
• Second, the rest of the site got a refresh.
• Third, the homepage incorporates updates from Twitter and this blog.
• Fourth, low-resolution mp3s are now available for free from the site.
• Fifth, all songs are available as full streams on the site.

That fourth one is probably the most important part of the new launch, and I’m glad that anyone can download and enjoy Paper Plane Pilot music. I’ll be talking about this more in a later post, but in the meantime just head over to the download page and pick yourself up a download of First Flight or I Will Follow You into the Dark.

While you’re listening, be sure to check out the rest of the new site and drop me a line if you have any comments.

Enjoy!
