Oops, forgot to post this when the album actually came out so here:

Familiar is out on bandcamp and streaming platforms

familiar is an ambient electronic album with themes of horror and the supernatural. It explores love, death, separation, and reunion. It ranges from very melodic and focused to very ambient and experimental. You can find it on bandcamp (for pay what you want) or most streaming services.

Hope you enjoy!

summer lofi

This summer I experimented with some new genres, and lofi was by far my favorite to work on. It's a genre I've always wanted to write in but until recently hadn't been able to really figure out. I'm really happy with how these songs turned out, and I look forward to writing similar stuff in the future. You can find summer lofi on my bandcamp, and on streaming services sometime this week. I hope you enjoy :)

Also, one of the songs on this album, "it's perfect weather for a trip to the café, don't you think?" was frontpaged here on newgrounds! I was totally stoked when I found out (it's only my 2nd one), and now the song is easily my most viewed track on newgrounds, thank you for the support! I also submitted the song for ngadm, but I had to drop out after round 1 because school and work was too much :(

While making this EP i recorded a lot of samples. there are some old ones made with glass jars, I did a session where I recorded a bunch of school supplies and noises with them, some chord progressions, and other unused stuff. I might put these on my patreon for download if anyone is interested, but there isn't really a use for that page right now to be honest.

Unfortunately now that I'm back in the swing of things with school I won't be doing electronic projects as much, I will try to post relevant stuff here and on my soundcloud, but it will most likely be more orchestral. In terms of electronic projects I want to work on "XIX - The Sun" but I have no idea when I will next have the time to.

I hope you all enjoy the last couple weeks of summer, hopefully the nice fall weather comes in fast!

"A Jazz-bit Story 2" is a sequel to my 2018 album "A Jazz-bit Story." This one is a bit less story oriented and is more about the music, but I hope you'll enjoy it nonetheless! check it out now for pay-what-you-want on bandcamp, or in about a week on Spotify and other major streaming platforms. If you want to presave this album on Spotify click This.

Other Updates:

Astral and this album were my 2 main music projects going back since before the pandemic, and now that I'm writing more for school there probably won't be any big releases for a while. When I do write electronic stuff I will post it individually on here, soundcloud, or my patreon depending on what it is. I have no idea what i'm gonna do next, I may do some more stuff related to Astral, but as for the next big project I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Happy Holidays Everyone, and I hope you enjoy the jazz!

Astral is out on Bandcamp and will be out on streaming platforms within the week, go check it out! I've been working on these songs since the pandemic started, and I learned a lot of things on the way. As you can see on the cover, this album has some similarities to my first ever album, Adventures, and it's very story oriented and less about my own personal life. A lot of these songs use samples I gathered from various objects in my room as well as from my practice sessions on marimba, piano, and drumset. "The Artist" also features birds from outside my window the morning I began working on the song. Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy, this has been a long time coming and I'm very happy with how it turned out.

Have A Great July!

Clueless:

After a lot of procrastinating it is finally done, Clueless is out on Bandcamp and will be available on other platforms within a week or so. This album has a compilation of songs i worked on over 2019, all of which were written during a time where i was coming to terms with becoming an adult and all of the unique challenges i now have to overcome. It's free (or pay what you want) on bandcamp only, so go check it out!

Other News:

Feel free to make fun of me, because the hard drive to my computer is fried, and i did not think to put backups on anything at all. Unfortunately this means progress on a lot of things has either been severely impeded or entirely halted for good. Luckily most of the songs i have already written for "A Jazz Bit Story 2" are in a preview mode on bandcamp, which means i still have a way to get the WAV files when i release the album, but i lost all the project files, including the WIP songs that i had no backup of, which is kind of a bummer.

I definitely feel pretty stupid right now, but i am currently working on my mom's old computer i found in the closet while i save up for a new rig (my old one is completely toast now) but in light of recent events i may be in this situation for much longer than anticipated. Not sure what projects i am going to take on over 2020, but i haven't had a fresh reset since before i released "Adventures" almost 3 years ago, so i am excited to see what happens.

That's about all, See you soon

P.S.

Please do not post anything related to the current global crisis ESPECIALLY advertisements to your business on Other people's pages and posts. I know times are tough and i am trying my best to help those in need and prevent the spread of the illness, but these posts are about other things and i have no way to check the validity of what people comment on here. It's very unprofessional to use other peoples platforms to promote yourself in any situation, especially one where people's lives are at risk, so i'm deleting all of these comments and banning people from posting on my page if i see any more of these more-than-likely-scams. Thank you for understanding, and stay safe.

Wow, it's been a year since i last posted on here... My bad. Figured i ought to put something up for upcoming events and such, so here you go:

?31?

I released an album in November containing all the songs i made during the "Inktober but music" event which you can check out on bandcamp and many other music platforms. I had a super fun time making (almost) a song every day, and i even got to participate in the collab at the end of the month, which was even more fun.

Clueless

This is going to be similar to Adventures in that it's more of a collection of all the work i've done over 2019. There are a couple more things i need to polish up before i release it, though, so keep an ear out if that's something you're interested in. There will be a few things on there that i never released on my usual platforms.

A Jazz-bit Story 2

This is a sort of background project I've been working on since the first album came out. The 8-bit music is a fun way for me to take breaks from my bigger projects, and i think I've improved a lot since last time around. There are a few of these songs up already but i have quite a bit more that probably wont be posted till the release.

I'll definetely try to update this page more than once this year, but nobody ever reads these things anyway so i guess it doesn't matter too much. At least my profile page will be up to date. Happy 2020!

Imaginary EP:

This album is a long time coming, it was supposed to be done over the summer but obviously that didn't happen. Fortunately it is done right now! and you can listen to it here right now! or on most other platforms very soon.
 

Imaginary is an album about an imaginary world brought to life through music. All the songs represent locations on the child's map. Hope you guys enjoy!

That's it guys, Happy 2019 and heres to a new year filled with lots of great music!

I've started work on the last song in the album, it should be out soon.

It's time for album #2!

Floating EP:

This album has 8 songs that I've made over the past year. They mainly have a focus on emotions, and are really personal compared to my other songs. Most of these songs have a direct correlation to a certain time of my life. This album is out right now on my bandcamp, and will show up on other platforms within a week.

Imaginary:
I'm still working on this album, and i have all the songs planned out. Still no album art, i only have a rough sketch:
 
Pure art, right?

The album will be released sometime in September, most likely, but you can check out the songs i have so far on my Newgrounds or Soundcloud

Also follow me on my instagram

That's about it for now, ill post the album art for imaginary once i have it, other than that, enjoy the rest of your summer :)
