Mike Shinoda: "Dropped Frames, Vol. 3" out now

Mike Shinoda's "Dropped Frames" trilogy is at last complete with today's release of its third and final installment, "Dropped Frames, Vol. 3"! The new album is available to stream and purchase on various digital outlets including the official mikeshinoda.com merch store.

​

This set contains 14 instrumental tracks that were, of course, thought up and sketched out on Shinoda's Twitch livestreams, mostly beginning with prompts from his loyal subscribers. Similarly, the visual component of the release has been compiled from drawings created during artwork-themed livestreams, again using fans' suggestions as starting points. Closing out the selection is the fan-favourite "License To Waltz", which takes the listener on a journey with its changing rhythms and time signatures.

Meanwhile, even with the completion of this trilogy, Shinoda's daily livestreams show no sign of stopping, although he is doing more drawing and gaming streams for his viewers to add more variety to the program. On the music side of things, he recently worked on an "A Thousand Suns"-themed idea in celebration of that album's 10th anniversary. Whether or not he plans to do anything with these post-"Dropped Frames" ideas is yet to be seen.

This Kerrang! piece mentions a "planned Twitch trilogy", but Shinoda is quoted saying it's "at least three", implying he might release more in the future
