it’s October, and so our keyboard king Gene’s yearly tradition returns! 🎃 a strange assortment of frightening films— will it be the best year yet? 🏆 or the worst?! 💀 follow Gene on Letterboxd (genejacket666) where he will be reviewing every movie throughout the month! 🍿 👻

photo taken by my wife in a moment of early afternoon madness. the midi blocks just look like worms and birds after a while, but if it seems like they're wiggling around on the screen, that means it's time for you to press on your eyes for a while (pictured)

I've been working on an instrumental new age synth THING since last Thanksgiving. I love this odd music from the 80s & 90s and wanted to make my own. I may never finish, but I hope I do! Here's a small snippet that may end up on the cutting room floor after all's said and done 👁️
