My fourth 16-bit(ish) song release is now out for free! Descending into an arcane paradise, hidden between the planes.

Figuring out the sound design was pretty fun for this one; I'm starting to wrap my head around Chipsynth SFC's excellent tools.

It is a LITTLE hard to mix strings. It is very hard to mix horns.

Just put out another free 16-bit(ish) release! Breaking a lot of rules though - I think this one has like double the channels of the SNES soundchip. Still, I like how it turned out!

Bit of an exploration track for a place where the wilds run... run wild. Where the trees turn troublesome. Where the-

Working on 16-bit-style music for the last couple of months, and I keep asking myself questions like... is it ETHICAL to use an EQ plugin on this track? (Made with the excellent and very accurate Chipsynth SFC)

The way I'll spend 8 hours putting Linux on an old work macbook, but spending 30 minutes on a Patreon post terrifies me.

I'm so excited. I took tomorrow off to work on music all day.

I can't wait to take music off to play Last Epoch all day.

Client: Can you make a song for like, a paradise? Peaceful, but with some mystery.
Me: Sure! But what if maybe a moon is falling on it?
Client: What? No-

Not quite my usual TTRPG music thing, but going live to work on some old chiptune blitz compositions!

Spinning up new 10-minute compositions for folks who sub or cheer a few bucks :>

I didn't have "switching to Bitwig" on my bingo card for the new year, but I love this software.

Coming from FL Studio, the workflow is very familiar, just without all of the tedious little things that bugged me as a composer.

...And they know it too, with their support for FL project files lol.

My process for musical projects is pretty well-refined. The golden keys:
1. Wtf I have no idea what I'm doing.
2-55. Wow okay that was weird, let's try to fix that.
56. Oh huh this sounds pretty good how did that happen

As a beginner video editor, Davinci Resolve is just so sick until it suddenly and ruthlessly gives me an aneurism.

Set up some task management in Obsidian for new year projects.

On the one hand, it's the most productive I've been on personal life stuff AND goal stuff in months.

On the other hand, I'm firmly hitting "Oh this is new procrastination and I have stuff due on Monday" territory.
