I started Game Set Mash!! A few years ago and it’s a crystallization of all of the VGM compos I’ve run over the years. It started with Mega Man in our first “Grand Robot Master Remix Battle” and I’m happy to bring it back full circle.

I finally finished that #Wplace piece! (It was 40k pixels... 🫠) It's the album art that I drew for @jnwake.bsky.social 😄 #PixelArt #ドット絵 #MyFakeOST #VGM

Fresh from, well, DoD’s latest Fresh Month, it’s the debut of Audio Processing Unit, featuring JSABlixer on chips (LSDJ), @paradiddlesjosh.bsky.social on drums, and me on guitar/bass! This one’s a chiptune metal take on “Adulthood’s Serenity” from I Was A Teenage Exocolonist. Get that coffee going!

I follow a bird photography group and it has been overrun with AI generated posts, I had to leave it. Gen AI enables the lamest chuds to be absolutely insufferable. Just fucking stop.

As a quiet socials person I often do things and forget I need to post about it Recent doings: - fundraising for @ivgorchestra.com - three secret #vgm projects collaborating with some awesome musician - my actual software job 🫠 - music directing for @ivgorchestra.com, new arrangements and videos 👇

And another one! @ocremix.org has now posted my Kirby Triple Deluxe cover from march: ocremix.org/remix/OCR04900. I think it's a good one so take a listen and I hope you enjoy!

New video! It's Terran 1 from StarCraft! We took a weird song and made it weirder and also dance-able! Time to plug into your dial-up internet and log into Battle.Net!

Join us tomorrow on Twitch at 8pm (ET) / 5pm (PT) for a listening party with @biscore.bsky.social, full of music to score (AND farm) to! We’ll showcase their latest album release “Out In Front”, as well as their work as composers for the game “Touhou Farming ~ Minoriko's Homestead Harvest”.

I posted this rant when I was staying up way too late. Had been watching the Panel trudge through investigating some genAI submissions and started to feel angry on their behalf. Extremely pleased to see such a huge response on this post. Not a single instance of a shitty AI-guy trying to “debate.”

Tomorrow night we’re hanging with the DoD family listening to both Out In Front and all the music we’ve done so far for Touhou Farming! See you there!

It came together great. Huge thanks to Lewis for having me on and being very patient as I hijacked the arrangement and added like half a dozen instruments and two solos (including my first pseudo-improv solo on guitar) Listen here! youtu.be/xNwPzJ4gM7M?...
