I found an old video of me playing whatever I feel like while wearing the Dtoid shirt (which no longer fits :/). It didn't get many views then, most likely the case now. But if you want to learn more about me, the best way is to listen to my piano stuff.
A Theatrhythm Final Bar Line demo came out for PS4 and Switch. I played it quite a bit, and I think it's going to be a great game. Ultimate is quite challenging with new note patterns to wrap my head around, and lots of stuff to unlock.
The Emerald Warrior Ship -Boss- (2023): Working on an album called Hyperion II. The story is that after saving the galaxy in the first "game", Hyperion has become a wanted ship, and bounty hunters are after it to be claimed. It's going to be a boss rush.
Nicholas Satchell - Road to Nowhere: This is a song my brother wrote. One of my favorites. I contributed quite a few instruments to it as well, including the synth lead that sings alongside his singing. I will put an instrumental in the comments.
I find myself stuck in a loop of eventual "wanting to give up" on trying to be social. I want to share my music, but hardly anyone listens, and it makes me wonder if I'm bad at music, or people just don't give a fuck about it. Endless goddamn loop.
Enigmatic by Design (2014): One of my darker songs, written different than most of my music. The intent was to write a song that wasn't as repetitive as my usual work. Also, Conundrum and Bass 3 and (soon) Slumber will be on Digital Streaming Services.
Epic (2021): CHIPS IV is a really good album, and this is one of my favorite songs. I'm listening to my music more than usual, trying to determine some things. Hoping I can figure out a way to make it easier for people to find music they might enjoy.
Not sure what kind of album to work on next. I have a few ideas. "Super/Mega Chips", instead of 8-bit, I switch to either SNES or Genesis sound. Maybe Conundrum and Bass 4. Spectrum III, CHIPS VI, or perhaps something new and experimental. Thoughts?
I released a new album "Slumber". 10 tracks, free to download as always. These are chill tracks leaning in Lofi territory (basically my interpretation). One and only extra special bump!
Scheduled a physical for next month. Haven't had one since I was a teenager I think. Don't remember. Next month is also me and my girlfriend's 23rd anniversary. And then the month after, we both gain a year in age! Time sure does move forward, huh.
Exceptional (2023): First song of the new year. Written for the album currently called "Slumber". I picked up a new upgrade to my main instrument library, so I got some fresh sounds to work with in all sorts of styles of music. Looking forward to writing.
Health Check: If you've seen my previous posts about it. I don't seem to have trouble swallowing food at the moment. I can't find the "lump" in my throat that concerned me. Still going to see a doc. Gonna be 42 in March. Wondering how much longer I got.
New album "Ad Lib - Vol. 10, Part 1" has been released. 10 tracks, free to download. All the music I wrote last year for various albums, decided to combine into one Ad Lib. Enjoy :) Bump
Happy New Year :) I bought Elden Ring. Played it for 45 minutes so far. Runs good, controls feel pretty nice. I died twice so far, mainly because I misjudge the distance between me and the enemies :p I hope I stick with it.
Since I probably can't do three albums at a time, I decided to combine the tracks I've written so far into what will be Ad Lib - Vol. 10, Part 1 for next year. I just need to write one more track. Hard to focus on music and gaming at the same time :/
Merry Christmas :) have a random VGM cover I made :p I hope you all have a wonderful holiday and happy new year.
I treated myself this year. 512gb steam deck, 512gb SD card, God of War, Ace Combat 7, Potion Craft, Vampire Survivors, FFXII, and Hades. I also bought some inexpensive music stuff. Thinking about Elden Ring for 35 bucks. Personal Details in comments.
Gaia to Go (2022): First song for Conundrum and Bass 4. I'm working on three albums at the moment, which is fine. I'm taking my time, writing them whenever I feel like it. I wonder which one will release first next year :)
Steam Deck is a wonderful time. My only issue so far is that the text in Cyberpunk is way too small (and I have a bit of double vision which makes it harder to read). Playing games while in bed is a great experience.
My previous post hinted at this, in a surprising turn of events, I was able to get a Steam Deck. It's wild, and I have to figure out which games to install while I decide on an SD card for the rest. I also need to get used to the controls. Very happy :)
I picked up a sale of 10 drum and bass sample libraries yesterday. I wish I had it when I was working on the album. Guess this means Conundrum and Bass 4 is coming early next year :) I'll also be decked out for the holiday. Not blowing Steam ;) I hope.
Bloodstained is a really good game. It took a while to get into it, but I'm glad I stuck with it. Maybe I should get Elden Ring sometime since it seems to be a favorite, possibly even a game of the year? ;)
Lazy Day (2022): I'm in such a productive mood that I'm going to knock out this Chill album most likely before the end of the year. But as promised, I won't release any new albums until next year. Nothing like relaxing music after some drum n' bass :)
Ghost with the Cosmos (2022): After about a month of deactivating my Twitter, I can say that while it has been a great burden lifted, I also miss seeing what you guys tweet. I might try to write some more chill music before the end of the year :D
The Drum and Bass cat is back! Conundrum and Bass 3. 10 Tracks, free download. This is my last album for 2022. Thank you for listening. One and only bump.
New album "Video Game Music Vault" has been released. 91 tracks, free. Contains music from games I worked on. As such, music cannot be used in any other project. Thank you. Bump
A Hero Prays (2020): From Chips III. I love writing Chiptunes. The abscess under my arm seems to be doing well. The tiny lump on my neck has not gone away after a treatment of antibiotics, so I'll have to make it to a doctor and make sure it's nothing.
Bones and Black Magic (v2) (Xeo) (2022): I picked up a sweet set of virtual drums called BFD3, and the first song I wanted to try them on was Xeo's song, because I felt the original drums were too low. Let me know if these are a better fit for the song :)
My top song for this year (Apple Music, I don't use Spotify atm) is 6969 (Level Up) by Ninja Sex Party. It probably would've been my top song on Spotify as well. I mentioned this before, but I have a silly playlist I listen to when I sleep or bejeweled.
Destroy All Machines -Battle- (2019): Battle themes are one of my favorite things about video game music. This is one of my best original battle themes. I'd like to hear your favorite theme as well if you'd like to share :)
