Unsurprisingly after just three hours this project is seeing the largest influx of new musicians to GG I've seen in a long time. Spite is my most powerful motivator and I cannot wait to get this project fully underway. Hot music made by hot women. Let's fucking go.

Was jamming too hard, I guess… (The sax is ok!)

Aiming to apply for a Gaylord tool for MAGFest this year but already have a room right in the harbor through timeshare. If any friends going to MAG want to room with me and a friend or two, shoot me a message!

We really let loose across a lot of diverse material on this set. Can’t wait to do another Karma Cronies gig with @xanderplute.bsky.social & company

Here’s my set with the Karma Cronies from VGM CON a few months ago!!! youtu.be/yNsLoGWkLh4?...

Oh. My. God. youtu.be/Y3F_qg480Uw?...

We're excited to feature some music from the Persona offshoot games. @xanderplute.bsky.social brings an eclectic sensibility to his arrangement of Axe to Grind from Persona 5 Strikers! Lounging in the Velvet Room on Bandcamp and streaming services: lnk.to/velvet-room #persona5 #persona5strikers

New cover! Check out Dreamy Somnom Woods! Featuring DeLuxDolemite on drums/mallets and @neoncowell.bsky.social with a killer guitar solo!! youtu.be/Sm42rtpmOVA?...

Here’s the video for my cover of Axe to Grind on GameGrooves new album, Lounging in the Velvet Room! Check the album out. It rules! youtu.be/Tvd0e5jGjoY?...

If anyone knows any drummers somewhat local to Ohio potentially down for a simple gig on July 5th, please shoot me a message!

Finally learning to slap after having played the bass for 3 years… oops.

Looks like I’ll be sitting my ass on the streets of New York for a few days until the Switch 2 launch!

(Bloody tattoo) Looking like a Pikmin massacre on my leg

I started Xenoblade X’s new chapter today and the new character’s fit goes SO HARD! I want his jacket…

Every concert needs a Taco Bell beat drop… Our percussionist did not disappoint.

Was playing bass guitar in a studio from 12-7 today (with some breaks). My fingers and shoulders were FEELING it. Props to you bass guitarists…

Best Buy gave me more stress tonight than I’ve felt in the past two years of my life… But I’ve got a Switch 2 waiting for me on June 5th!

Foolishly agreed to film a ‘quick video’ for the percussion ensemble tonight after getting back from VGM CON yesterday only to find that I will likely be here for the next 3 hours after a long day of classes… Rookie mistake.

Playing Bamboo Boogaloo from The Messenger with @xanderplute.bsky.social & The Karma Kronies was a weekend highlight. I love this OST so much. @roninopf.bsky.social @stevenhigbee.bsky.social @supitscarrie.bsky.social @roqdrummer.bsky.social @biggoron.bsky.social

VGM CON had me unsuccessfully holding back tears multiple times both during and since the event. This community rules and I couldn’t be more grateful to be just a small part of it! You all rock!!!

First VGM CON set in the books! Love you all!!! @neoncowell.bsky.social @supitscarrie.bsky.social @roninopf.bsky.social @roqdrummer.bsky.social @thejunoreport.bsky.social @stevenhigbee.bsky.social @biggoron.bsky.social

We about to mirror or extend displays here 🗣️ @xanderplute.bsky.social

With @vgmcon.bsky.social coming up, we invite you to check out some of our GameGrooves Groove Troop artists and their bands at con! See you in the dimensional riff! #vgmcon #vgmcon2025

I have arrived in Minneapolis at… 7:33am local time. Maybe I’ll get some sleep before rehearsals tonight.

Anyone heading to VGM CON comfortable with a camera? I’m hoping to get some additional shots with my personal camera for my set at 3pm on Friday!

Been very busy prepping for VGM CON alongside classes, but I’ve somehow managed to keep my physical health a consistent priority! Been running and working out, and thanks to one of my friends, I’ve started rock climbing multiple times a week! Really kills the forearms…

I wrote this knowing full well who this part was being sent to and that not a single extra word was needed. Catch Ian doing some sick ambient shit with me on Friday, and then some sick goblin-y shit like two hours after!

Every day that passes gets me more and more excited for this set! The Karma Cronies are ready to take over!

hi i'm still here, i got a loooot i wanna use this space for 👀 but i'm gonna start with all the @vgmcon.bsky.social stuff i'm doing with @xanderplute.bsky.social, @neoncowell.bsky.social, @laurentheflute.bsky.social, @ilikepiano.bsky.social, and @kirbysdreamband.bsky.social IT GONNA B GOOD

My schedule for VGMCON weekend! Hope to see some of y'all there!!

We looked at Celeste’s FMOD session in my Video Game Composition class today and I was acting as a teacher’s assistant anytime the professor was curious about what a parameter looked like in game. I’ve played Celeste to hell and back so to see inside of it like this was so sick!

Oh my god. 2 directs in 6 days. 2017 2 is real.

I knew Xenoblade X’s soundtrack went HARD, but hearing all of these tracks in game again really emphasizes them. I love hearing emotional vocal pieces during the most random cutscenes.

Just fell off a waterfall 5 times while failing to land on a small outcropping all to mercilessly slaughter an innocent bug by the name of Schneider… I’m so glad to be playing Xenoblade Chronicles X again.

So stoked and thankful that @audiomocha.bsky.social asked me to hop in on a few songs during his VGM CON set! If you’re curious where to find me in a few short weeks, here ya go! Xenoblade Chronicles and its music cannot be avoided.

Yes… Outer Wilds still has a chokehold on me. Here’s my cover of Timber Hearth! youtu.be/z9yq-oPkQrs?...

Happy anniversary to Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver! Have you heard our citypop-flavored arrangement of National Park yet? Featuring @xanderplute.bsky.social?? Peep it here: youtu.be/kcxB1nhkLLU?...

Every Thursday I get to play a little puzzle with the goal of fitting all the instruments I’ll need for the day into my locker.

You’ve unlocked a new Crony, @stevenhigbee.bsky.social! We’re officially one month out from my set at VGM CON, and I’m stoked to reveal one more addition to the core lineup! We can’t wait to jam out on the Boss Stage with you all!

Had a lot of long, 12+ hour days of classes, rehearsals, gigs, studio sessions, filming, collabs, etc. It’s left me exhausted, but in the best way. As someone who only picked up an instrument in 2020, it’s finally felt like it’s all paying off, and like I really AM a musician.

Who knew a horror game would have such funky tunes??? Here’s ‘Before He was Gone’ from Sally Face! Featuring @triplebmusic.bsky.social, @thebassoonist7513.bsky.social, and Andrew Thomas! youtu.be/KEd9iBWKhV8?...

So now that I’m going to VGM CON… Anyone got the space and want an extra roomie to help split hotel costs?

11am: Jump in frozen lake 7pm: Seeing my name on the big screen in the credits of an independent movie What a day!

Jumped into a frozen lake today. You know, for fun… and charity.

My new live rig arrived yesterday! This is such a great budget synth, and I've already had so much fun jamming on it. Can't wait to give it the live debut with @xanderplute.bsky.social and @neoncowell.bsky.social at VGM Con!

This track has an Armenian duduk AND it’s from Xenoblade?? No wonder it’s a contender for my favorite piece of VGM ever! Check out my cover of Eagus Wilderness with @sean081799.bsky.social, @chromaticapparatus.bsky.social, mauricemori, Jeb Bertram, and KMADS Music! youtu.be/7WIL2l5vPWs?...

You want cronies? You’ve got cronies! I’m SO excited to have these amazing musicians (and some special guests) joining me at VGM CON in 2 short months! We’ve got a crazy setlist that you won’t want to miss! We’re jamming out on the Boss Stage on Friday, April 11th at 3:00pm!

Myself and The Band of Exceptional Goblins (the ENTIRE MagicIan lineup plus special guests @stemage.bsky.social @chucksalamone.bsky.social and @jononealmusic.bsky.social) will be taking to the Boss Stage at @vgmcon.bsky.social April 11-13! We have a massive show planned you DON’T want to miss!

GUESS I’M GOIN’ TO VGM CON! Keep an eye out for more details soon… including the reveal of just who these ‘cronies’ are. I can’t wait to see you all!

In case anyone's interested in what I've had going on outside of VGM, here's a video of my college's Funk & Soul Ensemble's first performance from back in December. Being in this group has provided an endless stream of growth and inspiration! youtu.be/XfnIfPCqRmU?...
