This Week's Song (Free Early Song Download)
Something a little trippy (with a leitmotif inclusion). This was a song I wanted to put out a little while ago, and this week's video was a pretty fitting way to do so. I've finally begun working o...

Well...August has been a wild ride. Behind the scenes, there's been almost too much commission work. Those "songs that play when" videos have definitely saved me more than once. Most of all though,...

This last original is a favorite of mine for 2021 and I'm super happy to say that it'll be in an actual video game! I have much more like this coming soon and I can't wait to show it to all of you ...

I am absolutely PUMPED for this anime, and the music that accompanied the trailer was downright amazing. It's always tough to learn a song that still has SFX being played over it, but I've done it ...

This was just an excuse to get back into writing metal music. I wanted to practice some techniques again because I have some stuff planned akin to my song "System Failure". Cant wait to show you al...

This song meant a lot to me and still does. Because its one that I made with you all in mind. Thank you all for getting me to where I am now. I don't know where I'd be without all of you. I know th...

This is a song for one of the games I'm working on (Attorney of the Arcane) but it's for a newer mix that you can't get online yet. Some new tweaks, new instruments, better quality, etc!

Here it is! A new original. Made for a game no less! This one is for a game titled "Attorney of the Arcane", a visual novel inspired by the Ace Attorney series! At the moment, this is the final tra...

Ended up doing Jolyne's Theme! Pretty fun song to cover (:
2021-08-21 12:31:52 +0000 UTC View PostPlans for this week
I have 2 ideas for this week:
1. I'm about to announce another game I've been making music for. This week could involve me showing off one of the songs (which you'd get a free download for) 2021-08-17 13:52:28 +0000 UTC View Post
Last Week's Song (Free Download)
I'm trying to get a bit back into heavy stuff and I figured this video would be a good excuse to give it a shot!
2021-08-17 13:50:23 +0000 UTC View Post(Free Song Download) I made a new original. It's based on a game idea, but also you guys and all your support.
Thanks for everything thus far (:

Hello, all! As you're all aware, it's been tough to keep up with frequent updates (or at least update as much as I'd want to) on this page. I'm still able to give my plans and give out free song do...

This one is a bit of a fave. I've been slowly working on this one and it's an attempt at a different style. I'm hoping to learn more after this and try some more in this style sometime! I hope you ...

I laughed the entire time I made this song. But then I replaced the cat noises with a violin for the Patreon version and I came to genuinely love it. I may even make a full idea out of it sometime....

I started up a new series idea where I'd be able to make songs like usual but minimize editing so I could have more time to work on commissions. It was unusually successful, which is fantastic! The...

I made another FNF song and honestly, it was a lot of fun making a song with battling melodies. It's a theme I wouldn't mind using for my own songs (in a less literal sense). It's definitely a styl...
2021-08-01 03:44:25 +0000 UTC View PostTabs are making a return! I should be uploading one in either a few hours or tomorrow!
The title pretty much has the update, but I'll be bringing tabs back (: for new and old guitar stuff. I'll also try adding notes from other instruments in there if I can!

I SHOULD be releasing a new original for this week's new video! I tried my hand at some drum and bass again while mixing it with some jazzy chords and leads. I should have a download for you soon i...

Remember that silly cat-related song i made last weekend? I made a serious version as well (replacing the cat noises with a violin) and it ended up being pretty fun. It might be something I use and...
