This is the first update that will also be on my Patreon (which exists by the way) and the second update of this year (God i really need to update more)

anyway, lets get down to business with the THREE (3) Albums planned for this summer :)))) (Thats a lot!)

A Jazz-Bit Story EP

 
This is a concept album for a game that does not, nor will ever exist, but it's chalk full of 8-bit Jazz tunes and it’s OUT RIGHT NOW! which is like, Right now! So get hyped if you like jazzz
 

Floating EP:
 
This is an album i've started working on that's really focused on my emotional side, and what emotions go into me creating music. I made the music for myself, really, but i feel like it applies to a lot of other people, too. This one should be out over this summer or early fall, depending on how much i am able to work on it.

Imaginary EP:

This album, unfortunately, does not yet have album art (even though it's the one i've been working on for the longest), but it is another concept album based on an imaginary world i thought up in my head, which is cool. This is a completely different style because it's more about setting a scene rather than setting an emotion, so im excited to release an entire album of it!

I am now EVERYWHERE!

What does that mean? i am using an online distributor, so pretty much any music streaming platform you use i will probably be on. The downside of this is that my newer stuff will actually cost money (not a downside for me!), but Adventures and Dreams will forever be free on my Bandcamp page, so at least there's that. My old albums (and A Jazz-bit Story) will all be released everywhere within a week (as music platforms review my submissions), so keep a look out for that stuff

Youtube! (again):

So remember last update when i said i was gonna update my youtube account? yeah... that didn't happen. Luckily for you guys all my releases should be on youtube music (because of that online distributor) so now i don't even have to do any work. Which is perfect, because i'm a lazy f-

Social media:

I have an instagram: https://www.instagram.com/avapxia_music/

I post on it sometimes.

I might get a twitter in the future??

That's all folks! Have a great summer, and keep a look out for all this stuff!

Hey everyone, i figured i should make some sort of post since i haven't made one yet this year...

So heres what's going on:

Imaginary:

I'm working on a series of songs that are supposed to be connected to a world that i have sort of developed in my head. Some of them are already out and others have yet to be made. I don't have an idea as to when it will be done, or when i'll decide to stop making songs in this theme, so i don't really have anything else to say about it besides to keep an eye open if you're interested.

I don't actually have any art for this yet (sorry), but you will definetly see some pretty stuff before it releases. :)

Another album?

Also, i will probably release another one around the same time as "Imaginary" with songs i've made since last september, but i'm undecided on theme so there will be more on it later. (I don't have art for this either)

Youtube

You may have noticed that i've been doing some youtube stuff. You may have also noticed it's a bit out of date as of today, but im gonna update it over the next week with better quality videos and more up to date content. If you want to see the stuff that is already up (although it's the same stuff as this page) then check it out here

CHIPS Youtube

I'm also running another youtube for CHIPS compo, which has all the compo winners for each compo over the last few months. You should check that out as well. All the music on it is the best music CHIPS has had the privledge of seeing, made by a wide range of artists who participate in the compos every week.

Recent releases:

Here's some other stuff i've been doing lately

Cracks is a song in 5/4, made for the first round of an 8 round competition hosted by CHIPS compo. I won't know how it scored for about another hour, but i enjoyed making it and i think you would enjoy listening to it too. Fun fact: the lead is a violin and a saw wave (with some automation) playing simueltaniously. It has all the simplicity of a saw lead with the expressiveness of a violin. Maybe i'll make a post later about all the plugins i currently use???

Welp, i hope that was enough info to justify the 6 month wait since the last time i made one of these, lets hope the next update's a little closer.

Have a great day!

   If you couldn't already guess, Dreams EP is out right now, a short 5 song trance album. Every           song aims to set a scenery, and is named thus. I hope you guys enjoy it, i sure enjoyed making it.

   Dreams EP contains 'Summer Nights', 'Clear Skies', 'Autumn', '6AM', and 'Dusk Sky.'

Other than that, there isn't much going on right now. Pretty boring, right? :)

Anyway, more music stuff should be in the works soon, including probably something halloween themed (because halloween is awesome) that i haven't decided on yet. More info in the future, until then, have a nice day :)

Youtube:

I've started posting my music on my youtube channel, and i may be doing some other stuff on there as well. I'm not sure what i'll be doing, so if you have any suggestions, i'd love to here them. For now that's all there really is. I have put everything up all the way back to 'The Midnight Woods.'

Dreams EP:

I am working on some songs similar to 'Summer Nights' and 'Clear Skies' that i will put in an album later on this year. For now, you will probably see some halloween stuff, and some other projects going up over the next couple months but i will make another post when i release the album. (Don't worry, it's free)

School + Band + Stuff:

With school, band, and other stuff like getting a job, i won't be posting as frequently as i was during the summer (mainly August). On the other hand, i'm spending more time on music than ever before, and spending less money on games as a result. My main goal is to post more than last year, more than 1 song a month, and so far i've surpassed that goal.

New Toys :)

I got an AKAI MPK Mini for my birthday. It's pretty cool. It also came with some sick synths i've been playing around with (Hybrid 3 and Wobble). Any other recommendations for MIDI controllers or other music toys?

Anyways, thats a little snapshot into my life right now, have a nice day :)

Adventures EP is out right now!!!

Finally, after about a year of posting music, i've released my first album on bandcamp.com. It contains everything i've worked on since last year in September. It explores many different syles, including ambient, chiptune, and electronic. So if you want to download any of my music you can see on this page or on my soundcloud, then head on over to bandcamp and pay what you want for it.

In other news, i will be taking a hiatus during august for marching band and the start of the school year, after that i will be posting regularly again.

Finally, i hope you have all had a great summer, and year, and i wish you luck in all of your endeavors. have a great day.

Wow... haven't done one of these in a long time...

Anyway, school is out in about a week, and that means a lot more free time until August (for the most part). And while that means i have a lot more time to make music, i can't promise anything, because i am a lazy ass. I do, however, have some stuff i am starting, but i won't be making much progress this week because of finals...

In very old news, Radio silence was front paged earlier this year, and i'm really proud of it. Not only because i think it has the best percussion out of all of my songs, but because i'm not that popular, and having a song frontpaged is awesome. 

Also, i have begun assembling and album. It will be released on bandcamp, probably google play music, and maybe on itunes (if i can get that done). Adventures will contain songs all the way from The Midnight Woods to my most recent song, A Sad Adventure. It also may contain songs that haven't been made yet. I hope to have it done, sometime over the summer, preferably before the end of june, but a specific release date has not been set as of today.
