Music is my mid-life crisis. He/him. Neon triangle-free zone. Synths, but not necessarily synthwave. If you ever figure out what genre I am, please let me know. My music My website Mastodon

I don't always jump on necro'd predictive text chain shitpost bandwagons, but when I do...

This is disturbingly apt for someone with songs out there about overthinking past regrets, making thinly veiled comparisons between medieval folk medicine & modern anti-vaxxers, and the joys of long term treatment with anti-depressants.

All the little things that don't matter

Years later

Eating you away

Pulling you away from the moment

In which you exist

Until you just subsist

On guilt and shame

Drive the nail through the soil at the crossroads

Turn three times around

To the next passer-by

All your fevers shall ever

Be bound

And there's no release

From this nameless disease

This sense of unease

And I can't decide

Is it all in my mind

Seen by gaslight?

Either I use my issues, or they use me.

Man, you ever have a day where nothing goes quite right?

Like, nothing *bad* happens, just every tiny thing goes a bit wrong

Anyway, have some introspective jazzy noodling. Mmm, tasty jazz noodles, eat up, they're good for you 🍜

Cyberpunk 2077 got me making heavy music for smashing ice and installing daemons 🤘💾🌐❄️

(with some help from a ludicrously '90s Shadowrun commercial)

Watching Gunsmith Cats made me wanna make some cheesy car chase music

So I bashed this out for fun 😽

[alphachromeyayo]

Finally, Cyberpunk 2077 as it was truly intended to be played

Some people spend hours stuck on a boss in Armored Core

I spend hours making the GREATEST ENYA MECH that Rubicon 3 has ever seen

let’s summon demons

i finally recorded my first “live” modular synth track - the one i’ve been banging on about having had patched up for so long now that it was starting to become an issue, and block me from working on other things… the heat finally died down long enough for me to get in the fancy shed and do it. video is up already, as mentioned. audio, after i’ve applied a bit of light compression just to normalise the volume with the other two tracks finished so far, will be up on Bandcamp soon, as part of the Memento Potato work-in-progress album. and, in keeping with the Memento Potato ethos, i’ll be recording and/or writing something about what i learned along the way, before finally ripping out all the wires and moving on. (strictly it’s not a “DAWless jam” - there was a DAW on percussion duties & some light background pads - but the DAW *was* running from the same clock as everything else, and I *was* live-controlling its pattern changes, not just letting it run end to end. i don’t have a drum machine, sue me)

Got a CD-ROM full of glorious 90s FX 💿💥

These effects were apparently used in Duke 3D, wondering if the start of this one was for the octobrain attack 🪼

(apparently this exact effect was also used to fake a UFO vid pretty recently too)

hoping to change that this weekend but honestly it's a weird time and i don't want to get my hopes up
