Working on FM Synthesis via Ableton Live 10 after I’ve been doing some bus ride synth editing on my new Korg Volca FM. I’ve got Zelda vibes from this one

Here is some of the little progress I’ve made with some visuals I made with Max for Live. Fingers crossed, I should have an live electronic music show sometime next year with paired visuals. Listen to Alexandrite ->>  🎶

I’ve been creating electronic music for the past four years and have released a series of demos onto my social medias and websites while growing my creative and technical skills in music production. This upcoming year I plan to release my first EP onto Spotify and iTunes. If you were there along the ride with me and enjoyed any of the tracks I messily released previously, I would like to gift you this collection of my bandcamp releases. If you can, please donate a couple of bucks with your download so I can help pay for the mastering, publishing and labor spent into this upcoming release. Thank you for listening :)

XOXO 2018

XOXO is an experimental festival for independent artists and creators who work on the internet. September 6–9, 2018. Portland, OR.

I’m very excited that tonight begins the first day of the XOXO Festival. I hope to meet a bunch of new fantastic internet creators and like a where’s waldo of real life, discover previously acquaintance dweebs <3

This is my first time attending but I’ve been a fan and friend of the festival for quite some time and when I was working for @wakerobingames we set up our office space in the now archived XOXO Outpost. 

See ya’ll there!~

Is there a procedure that functions as a route towards self tranquil? Would signature switching poly rhythmic trance advance you towards heavy eyelids or explosive expanding neural connections?

I just turned 25 this week and finally finished this track that I’ve been trying to gift to a friend who also drew and colored this QT cartoon portrait of my face! Summer is almost here and although I will be using that time to crunch hours at my day job while it’s busy, I will also be allowing some of my free time for commissions on music tracks! If you want me to compose something for your project or gift your friend a song in their favorite genre with nods to their interest//personality throw me an email for rates! -> [email protected]

I decided to go dumpster diving through my old  Dropbox accounts. I created some songs for a kids animation that never came to be. There was a Beiber fish character in the script.

I really don’t know what I’m doing with my existence anymore.

Lately I’ve had some strong desires to follow in the footsteps of my favorite RPG adventures like Secret of Mana, Chronotrigger and Zelda. Let me know your thoughts on my take on the magical soundscapes!

[nafranpdx]

Currently me and my business partner have been working on some stuff for Wake Robin Games. Hopefully shortly we shall have some stuff to showcase. Here is a bit of a teaser!

Today I was paroozing the Creative Commons music archives some elevator music for a sample based beat with my new Push 2. I discovered this gem called “Local Forecast” and ended up creating this.

Look at this wonderful video that the documentary team created for the Cartoon Network OK K.O. Game Jam 2016!~  I’m only eternally thankful that I was able to be a small part in such an inspiring project. Thanks to Rose City Games, the Portland Indie Game Squad, fellow game jam contestants, the Cartoon Network Games production team and the documentary film crew! I am so lucky to have been paired with @conleysdoodles and Jackson Lango for the creation of Wake Robin Games! Also, none of this would be possible if @ianjq & @tobyjones hadn’t created such a radical show! <3 Ugh, my heart hurts from all the love <3

Today I was reworking this funk beat that I made for a friend. Not sure if this will be used or not but I enjoyed making it sparkle with the rhodes and chiptune organ. Gives me slight nostalgic vibes of playing Grand Turismo on PS2
