The best love song I've written (Free Early Download)

Gentle, but then not. I hope you enjoy! I tested out a new choir program with it for extra heaviness!

Back from big commissions (and food poisoning oops). Here are my plans!

So I had a video idea prepped for this week but I didn't have a lot of time, so I thought I'd do a quick valentine's thing which I also didn't have time for (for today, that is). I'm going to upload it tomorrow instead because who cares about algorithm (and also because it'll actually be vday). I...

Making a Song Out of a Fan's Screams (4/4)

Making a Song Out of a Fan's Screams (4/4)

I was planning this for awhile and I'm happy to finally see it through. The song ended up being way better than I thought, to the point where I want to remake it with real synths. I thought the screams themselves would warble too much for consistent notes, but nope. A little bit of EQ-ing and eff...

Bowser's Fury Theme (Metal Cover) & Making One Winged Angel out of Mario's Screams (3/4)

Bowser's Fury Theme (Metal Cover) & Making One Winged Angel out of Mario's Screams (3/4)

Decided to fuse these into one single paid post as I never made a paid post for the one winged angel video and this one was pretty short. Both were an amazing time that were met with unexpected praise. I'm glad you guys enjoyed it!

An Original Waltz Theme (A Dance With You) (2/4)

An Original Waltz Theme (A Dance With You) (2/4)

This was another random "on a whim" video (honestly, every video this month was) but the original that came from this is one of my favorites I've made. I hope to work more on the idea in the future and incorporate it into other ideas!

Making Theme Songs for Weird OCs (1/4)

This was a fun idea I came up with on a whim. And there will probably be more (there's actually a cut one that never made it in due to time constraints, so I can't wait to show that to all of you!). This month has been pretty good for originals and production quality (commissions honestly helped ...

New Original Song (Free Download) (Commission)

This was meant for some youtube lads that I binge watch! They have a DnD channel and they wanted a funky Persona 4-style intro theme. I'll give more details on the theme and the channel itself in due time. But for now, I hope you enjoy this new original! Also I jokingly called the demo track "Shm...

I made something at the last minute (Free Song Download)

So I had this plan for awhile, but I realized I had enough time to do it and make a video about it today. A streamer friend had some of their friends on their stream and one of them was a fan of me. They were joking around and asking him to do a fanboy scream and I made a joke saying I'd make a s...

Change of plans. I did something cooler [Free Early Song Download]

So I decided to cover the bowser theme from the new Mario 3D World video.  Seeing as it was short, I was able to slap something together today. I might just upload a video of me playing it. Or maybe I'll have some commentary on how I put it together (while avoiding the original song because ...

Random Song I'm Working On that Will be Released Soon

Woah funky. working on humanizing the sax more and adding some more sections, but yeah! It's for another commission (which I will not divuldge on yet)

Plans for this week (and future plans)

Alright! Back with more things. I finally have an original or two that I can upload in the form of a "How-To" and I will finally be finishing one of the game soundtracks I'm working on by the end of January (that means a mini album of the rock/metal style songs I write. Of course, $3+ tiers will ...

This Week's Songs (More than one woooo)

Here they are. I went and made theme songs for 2 weird O.Cs. One was a post-war elderly rat and the other was just ColdSteel the Hedgehog (yknow...the "Nothing Personal, Kid" guy). They actually came out a lot more decent than I thought!

Plans for this week + Idea Suggestions!

New Years is very soon, but I figured I'd do a little project if I have some time! That project being "Making Theme Songs for Weird OC Characters". I find some of the weirdest OC characters on the internet and then I try to make *legitimate* mini songs for them. Of course you'll get those for fre...

This Week's Song. Both the blessed and cursed version

So...I really went and made a part of One Winged Angel out of sad Mario noises. But I also decided to work on a metal cover of One Winged Angel! So far it's just the same main melody, but I'd love to expand on it soon. Lemme know if you'd want a full cover :) Full originals coming soon! Just hang...

Woah it's been a minute. Here are some future plans and updates! Content returns!

First thing, I've made some amazing progress on my commission/video game track work and soon I'll be able to send everything to you (for free of course). That being said, I should have some samples to send you guys this week, among some other things! Content's rolling back out.

For videos, ...

Announcement Regarding Updates, My Motivation, and Future Stuff

Hello again. As I mentioned, I've been hard at work on commissions and other stuff. For those who don't know, I'm even working on some game soundtracks! As a result, I've been a bit busier, hence the temporary lack of updates. I will send samples when I can and you will receive the commission son...

This Week's Attempt Song

So as I mentioned, some of this month's videos will be handled by an editor (Depriety) of mine. The song for this one was an attempt to make a "Horror Core" song. I'm not even sure what Horror Core is of it it's even real, but this was my interpretation. A special shoutout to my editor (Depriety)...

First thing's first, if you're confused about the "(5/5)", it's because october's videos didn't go through due to an issue on my end. As a result, I'm only charging for one video in november as the october ones go through. Didn't feel right charging for 2 full months in one go :'D

Plans for this month + some other stuff

So I might have mentioned it in the past, but I will be working heavily on commissions (you will receive all of the songs for free with backing tracks, some tabs, whatever else).

Some of you may or may not have seen, but because of this and the status of youtube, I am taking a bit of a brea...

This Week's Cover (Backing Track) [I genuinely love this one]

So I made some original metal progressions in the back for certain parts and I very much enjoy how it came out in the mix. I might actually reuse these parts for something (since they weren't a part of the original guardian theme). I hope you enjoy the random thrashing!

This Week's Cover (Free Early Download)

I did it. This was a tough one to arrange. Especially the bits with the time sig changes, but it was a super fun process and I got to learn a bit more about the arrangement of chaotic tracks. Sometimes it doesn't need to be all fast drums. In fact, it doesn't even need percussion sometimes. This ...

Plans for this week

SO I'm planning on finally making a metal cover of the guardian theme from Breath of the Wild (the age of calamity version in this case).

I'm on a tight deadline for commission stuff this week though. But I will try to balance it all out!

On top of that, I still plan on doing that...
