Pump It Up continues to do well! the IAPPA 2007 show created a lot of buzz for both Pump It Up Pro and Pump It Up NX2. A future Pump title is now being considered and much news to come. It appears machine dance continues to be strong! :-)

Congratulations goes out to NX2’s release video from Andamiro Korea!
(Please note the game is not currently shipping. It will be available within the next month)

Happy Turkey Day from the Pacific Northwest!

Hello 2007 + Updates! January 4, 2007

Posted by Kyle Ward in : Life, News, Video , 20comments

Well, the new year is here! Hope everyone enjoyed the great holidays!

I decided to spend the holidays with family this year. There are great memories from Christmas and New Years that I won’t go into here…

Be sure to check out some of the new pictures on my flickr site.
Luckily there was a local Starwars exibit at OMSI in Portland. I was able to check that out and got to see various props/facts/material that was used in the original movies. It was quite a site to see really. Check out a couple of these pictures…

George Lucas rocks! :)
Here is a couple starwars themed videos for your enjoyment!

Rude Darth Vader

Japanese Darth Vader Parody

Additionally, I got a chance to check out some ancient Egypt exhibits at the art museum in Portland. this resulted in several inspired ideas for new music. Also, I’m now the proud owner of a manature Anubis and Ra! I’ve placed them both in my studio to watch over me as I work. Creepy eh?
anubis-Ra

In general, I’m very excited about the potential of this new year. There is a lot going on right now with my music and projects in general. Collaborations are planned and new “ideas” are documented.
Planning/applying occuring right now! I’m excited because many waters are “uncharted” and mystery lies ahead. I’ll be sure to reveal it all right here as it happens. I think some people might be pleasantly surprised.

You may have noticed, the site has received some updates. Why? Because of new partners and outlets that I’m now involved with. I decided to give things a slight upgrade and make them more “user friendly” for people. This includes server upgrades, new higher quality jukebox/picture picture streaming badge, comment flags based on the commenter location. Be sure to interact and check things out for yourself! Watch out for new preview songs! Additionally, there will be several new features and content upgrade “options” for people who frequent the site. I hope to improve things along the way. Don’t hesitate to contact me with your ideas!

Many performances and live shows have been planned for the year. (both local and far away) If you haven’t seen some of the past shows, now is your chance! I’ll be sure to announce them all here and keep you updated. Thank you to all the fans that have stuck with my music through the past years and continued to enjoy it. Thank you to all the people around the world that continue to send me comments and gifts.

Is there something coming in the future? You bet there is!
Best wishes to everyone for the new year!

Sincerely,

Kyle Ward

Thanksgiving 06 update! November 27, 2006

Posted by Kyle Ward in : Life, Music, News , 4comments

It’s hard to believe I started the KW site almost a year ago? Yikes! Time is sure flying by!

I’d like to start off my update by thanking all the nice people for their comments about the October ITG news. It’s been a pleasure to receiving such positive emails & comments from players and fans from all over the world! Keep on Groove’n! :)

Things have been very busy lately in the music world for me. I just signed a deal to allow KaW music to be featured in several television networks and advertsiements. It should be rather exciting to hear tunes over these networks. I’ll be sure to keep you posted.

The Most exciting news that I have; is the expansion of the studio this month. That’s right!; we have expanded the rack + synth arsenal by 30%! Please welcome the Roland JP8080 and the Emu Orbit3 to the KaW family. Additionally, the Electrix Warp Factory, Edirol um880, and Behringer rx1602 have also been installed to compliment the new additions. These new tools are incredible and have already sparked several musical ideas. I look forward to using my new audio paint brushes in the future songs.
I hope everyone had a great holiday, more news to come!

A True Utopia… October 12, 2006

Posted by Kyle Ward in : Life , comments closed

Evolution is a funny thing. Something starts, develops, and eventually finds the way. A foundation has been set! The future is very unclear and yet so bright. You can never go back to the beginning, yet you yearn to change the future from the past. Is it like a puzzle? Can results be manipulated from the ever changing pieces?

The journeys’ knowlege is always within. Would you have chosen a different equation now possessing the wisdom?

Thank you for contributing and making it possible.

OMG, an update in July! July 12, 2006

Posted by Kyle Ward in : Life, Music, News , comments closed

So, I’ve decided to finally do an update after a few months…. Yeah I know, better late then never.

The performance at ground kontrol went very well. John and I will be coing back to make some regular appearances at the venue. Big thanks to Ground Kontrol and DJ broken Window. We had a blast!

(here are some pictures of the performance, thanks John!)


Some poeople recognised that my Birthday was on the 4th. What did I do? I had a lot of fun, that’s what I did. I’ve updated my Flickr site with some photos from the day. i had to be very careful about selecting pictures; some were completely off the wall! (grin) JULY 4th 2006 - Kyle’s Birthday

(Big thanks to my Forum admin “Norbert” for calling me and wishing me a happy birthday.) Thank you also goes out to all the other people who recognised me/contacted me on the 4th as well!

Lastly, I’ve been hard at work revamping my sites. Be sure to drop on by and check out the new design at kyle-ward (dot) com. I’m hoping it’s more user friendly for people and a cleaner design. Toss me your thoughts here or fill out a question on the revamped FAQ section.

What’s going on in the ITG world? A lot! I can’t wait for the future ITG ports, it’s looking very good right now. I think everyone will be happy with the results.

Tell next time,

K out! :D

First weekend in Vancouver, WA! April 25, 2006

Posted by Kyle Ward in : Life , 1 comment so far

I’ve spent my first week & weekend in the Portland/Vancouver from Seattle. It’s nice being back in my ol’ hood! :)

I got a chance to hang out with some old friends and enjoy the new pool I was physced about! YES IT IS THAT GOOD! Man…Olympic Size swimming from 8am to 10pm! OK, this is a true utopia.

So… I’m also happy that I’ve almost finished Stargate Sg-1 complete season 1-5. Check it out!

(season 3-5 GOOD STUFF! - Why does this show R0×0r so much?) hahah

And Finally, after enjoying several hours of Stargate (while I work in the foreground) I decided to go visit my old hangout Ultrazone. I use to play serious lasertag back in the day…. I mean SERIOUS laser tag ok? Sheesh, I’m not even joking around here people.

Ultrazone was cool because we use to have “lockdown” parties all the time from 8pm to 3am. Lasertag can really be fun if you play with the right people. It’s sort of like an inexpensive paintball game. It really depends on the quality of the area though too… Ultrazone’s happens to have a great layout too.

(I still got the magic! #1 score for 5 games straight…woohoo!)

ahhhhh yeeeeeeeahhhh. Han Solo with the ~ 30,0000 score. Booya (does a little dance) Speaking of dance, I was really happy to find a Pump it Up at Ultrazone. Man….I’m gonna be there every weekend I swear. (Well not really….too much work to do of course. hahah)

As you can see, things are working out so far. I’m really enjoying the PDX life once again. It’s going to be a lot of fun. Anyway, until next time. Peace!

Last days in Seattle - Moving on! April 19, 2006

Posted by Kyle Ward in : Life , 4comments

Well, It’s a fresh new week!

I’ve now moved from Seattle to Vancouver. Yes indeed; enjoying life in southern Washington once again! However, not all is done yet. Hopefully, the move to my new permanent location will go well after returning from ACEN 2006 and E3.

What did I do for my final week in Seattle? I decided to walk around and enjoy life in the emerald city one last time. Here are some memories that I uploaded to my flikr page.
My beloved DDR 5th mix at Seattle Center. RIP!

Gameworks and it’s Sticky pads!  (2 were actually sticking at one point)  I actually got told that I couldn’t “freestyle” or do any handstands ever again. Oh well…It’s appearantly for “my protection”. (hehehe)

Xuxa strikes again!

Foy & I doing some picture taking….*cough*

Thank you to being a big part of my life for the past 5 years Seattle. I’ll certainly be back sometime soon.
Hello Portland/Vancouver…. I’m back and ready for action! :)
