This Week's Song [Backing Track]

This Week's Song [Free Early Download]

Plans for this Week [and onwards]

Well I'm finally doing it. I'm making a video where I attempt to make a video game song with only wood wood. Sounds like a garbage fire at first, right? Well..the idea ended up being pretty alright...

Final video post of the month. How To: Make a Starting Area Theme

I'll be sure to charge on the individual weekends again instead of the month (although it doesn't really matter because you guys only get charged at the end of the month. It still looks professiona...

Video 3/4. Making a Fire Level Theme

This ironically became another new favorite. That doesn't happen often from attempt videos, but I just got really into this one and I spent hours on it after the stream. We're slowly becoming more ...

Video 2/4 oh boy. Making a Song with Video Game Controllers

This one took forever to put together, but I'm happy that I was actually able to pull it off! The idea came from the usual fidgeting I do with controllers (trying to stop, honestly :'D). It's alway...

Monthly influx of video posts! How To: Make an RPG Battle Theme

Probably one of my favorite songs I've ever made. I can't wait to show you guys my other ideas from this project! Definitely going for a darker vibe than what the channel is used to. (I'm not talki...

This Week's Song [Free Early Download]

Went for a "Hometown" theme for Project LUCA! Really happy with how it came out. Speaking of happy...we have a lot more cheerful songs on here these days. Feels nice to balance it all out. I hope y...

This Month's Tabs (They're real oh damn)

Here they are! A patron mentioned tabs for "Breaking Point" and I realized I never made any. And then I remembered why. My last laptop has a pretty big crash and I lost a LOT of original project fi...

New Guitar Song Idea [Rough]

This is for a commission I'm working on! They wanted something in the style of "Here I Come!", so...here's another Anime Battle-type theme! I'll probably get it remastered soon (or touch it up myse...

New Song Idea [Still Very Rough]

Working on a field theme inspired by stuff like Zelda and Xenoblade! Percussion needs a lot of work and variation and a lot more instruments need to be added. Once this is finished, I'll probably d...

This Week's Song [Free Download]

Here it is! The original challenge version and the finished version! Really happy with the latter. I'm considering making a rock version of it! 

Plans for this week

I have either an "Attempt" video coming up (metalcore song in 1 hour) or a "Making" video (making a video game field theme). Just finished recording the field theme. Loving how the song came out. D...

This Week's Song [Backing Track]

If you want to jam to this, for whatever reason! 

This Week's Song [Free Download]

A song made completely out of video game controllers. Percussion comes from button presses, joystick flicks, and palm hits. Notes come from pitch shifted vibrations! I included a version without pe...

Plans for this Week (and some other stuff this month!)

If you haven't check the last two posts, be sure to! I might be doing a How-To (or Making of) with that song for this week. I'll probably be making some more changes to the final song, but you will...

New Favorite Original Song! (Full Idea Free Download)

Man, I couldn't make that title sound more like some sketchy torrent file. Anyways, here's the full idea! If I make any changes to it, you guys will get the updated version ASAP. Let me know what y...

(New Favorite) Original Song (Rough Ideas)

So as some of you may know now, I have 2 video game ideas that I use for writing music. I only recently started making songs for the second idea (there are none on youtube yet). Without giving anyt...

And for the last post tonight, Weeaboo (Anime) Metalcore.

I took on the challenge of fusing metalcore with traditional anime-style melodies. I'm definitely not the first to do it, but it was a fun challenge to try blind nonetheless. It was a bit difficult...

I've been on a break. There will be no video this Saturday (so no charge)

My apologies if I've been a little slow here. Been on a usual social media break to keep my creative juices firing on as many non rusted cylinders as possible. No charge for June 1st. As for tabs, ...

Song Ideas! (special sneak peek)

So some of you might know this from the discord, but I have 2 video game ideas. The first one involves a lot of the music I've made for the channel. The second one doesn't really have any represent...

Making a Video Game Racing Theme

Nothing says quick like...time...limits. At first, I wasn't too keen on this song, but after spending a lot more time (after the video) on the final version, I came to like it a lot. I'd like to re...

I managed to make something week! Here's a download for you all. I hope you enjoy! 

Plans for the rest of this month

So I spent quite an amount of time writing that new idea (check the post before this one). So much so that I didn't make something yet for this week. So I have this plan...Kazoo Metal. Just hear me...

Song Samples of a New "All-Time Favorite" Song I'm working on

This is pretty rough and it's missing a whole bunch of instruments, but I had this "Emotional Final Boss" idea sitting in my head for a long time. If I get this right, it might surpass both "Here I...

This is for a certain commission. The requirements basically boiled down to "in your anime style" and "magic". This is the result! I hope you enjoy!
