Hey! I just released some new music, a track called Purple Earth! This was made for an animated project by @Tawaki6ixty5ive and @MetalSlayer69.

You can listen to it here:

It's also on Bandcamp along with the instrumental version and original demo:

In fact, as of the time I'm writing this, it's Bandcamp Friday! So if you enjoy my music and would like to support me I'd greatly appreciate if you downloaded/purchased some music from my Bandcamp. No pressure either way of course.

There should also be an update to my site soon, I've not updated it since February but I've been working on redesign, so I've not forgotten about it!

Cheers!

This is literally one of the coolest things to ever happen to me.

I'm currently not selling these as these were mostly for me to give to family, however if enough people are interested in buying a CD I may be able to set it up where you can buy one.

I just wanted to share this because I'm absolutely ecstatic about it.

Here's the album if you wanna hear it:

After my hard drive was wiped last week, I found backups of a few songs on my phone. I've decided to share these with so as to not have them permanently lost in the future.

Pretty much all of these songs are unfinished and unpolished so don't expect much from them, but they mean a lot to me as I did put a lot of work into them.

Hard drive got wiped, guess you won't be hearing any new songs from me for a while.

Edit: There's an old backup of my FL Studio project files that wasn't affected, but this only goes as far back as 11th December 2022, so anything I've made after that is lost. Most notably:

• All Demos from Inktober '23
• All files associated with Album-A-Day: Wing It!
• The project files for Attic Daydreaming, Interlude: Awaken, Last Day to Thrive and Epilogue: Resolve, all of which were from Album-A-Day: Last Day to Thrive.

This may not sound as bad as it is, but given that I was in the middle of remaking Inktober '23 and I was particularly proud of Wing It! and Last Day to Thrive, losing the project files associated with them is a major blow.

Once I've reinstalled all of my plugins I'm going to do another Album-A-Day to make up for the fact that nothing has been released in a while.

The next piece of music you hear from me is something that I just need to get out of my head because it's been bothering and distracting me for months.

Linux is the embodiment of the saying "You don't have to be crazy to work here, but it helps", and you know what? I'm here for it.

Anyway the first song of my upcoming album is done, only got like six or seven more songs to do.

Hey hey, @Aalasteir invited me onto his interview podcast A100 and the episode was released earlier this month! I didn't announce it earlier because I've been away for a week and didn't have access to proper internet, but I'm back now!

Enjoy!

Phew, am I glad Inktober is over. That was a lot of work! If you're not already aware, this year for Inktober I decided to write a song each day for each corresponding prompt. It was time-consuming but a lot of fun and very rewarding to do!

The album consists of 12 songs, but three of those songs contain more than one inktober prompt and two of those songs are over 16 minutes long!

You can listen to the full album on Newgrounds by listening to the playlist, or if you'd like you can download the entire album for free on Bandcamp.

As a preview, here's the song I'm the most proud of that came out of this project: The Weight of Expectations
