really happy I got to help close out the year of namco 70th festivities with this great klonoa album!! as usual really heavy-hitting lineup of artists with v diverse creative takes. I covered a hidden gem called CRATERS from one of the gba spinoffs

SECRET PORTA enters its fifth year... the pxtone server secret cover exchange is one of my favorite parts of every holiday season. the results are always charming, highly experimental and creative, and full of love. check it out!! pxtunes.bandcamp.com/album/secret...

two special deliveries came in early for the holidays... PAST FUTURE PRESENT MEMORY on vinyl... thanks to @samplemance.rs for making the best chiptune album of the year and graciously agreeing to autograph my copy. nice sturdy jacket, v pretty liner notes insert. essential buy!

live on youtube playing astronautilus with the new pxtunes remixes. for a few hours prob! tune in youtube.com/live/MesmG8j...

I'm so close to cracking it guys

currently reading. never can decide whether to read the forewords on these things or let my own interpretation grow out of nothing. this one was insightful and a little strange

it's bandcamp friday!

segagaga and moonlight syndrome patches in 2026 is going to change the game. that was like #1 and 2 on my wishlist

it's spotify CRAPPED season and in protest I am once again writing about some of my favorite new albums of the year ⬇️

wow, finished this one after like 5 weeks of reading every commute. definitely made an impression... I think the last time I thought "I want to read that again and take notes" was when I played the silver case several years ago. lot of great subtle mysteries here and really compelling symbols+images

annoyed that my friends are gatekeeping their innermost feelings, medical information, home address etc. on small private discords. this is what wikis are for guys!

loopbreaker ost is up on neo's youtube... here's another one I'm really happy with youtu.be/stSBbrk_T6k always grateful when I am handed an opportunity to write "visual novel investigation scene" type music

going to see ANGEL'S EGG for the first time at the theater tonight

youtu.be/ksdSIBBGtnI learned this morning of this beautiful piece by a teenage benjamin britten. hmmmm I've had the modernist chamber music itch lately, maybe after the idm binge is done it's time to go back to my roots

bears repeating: this game is so so cool and pretty, the new story being added here is pretty unique and moving, and the new version will have a few remixes by me!! don't miss it

it's not bandcamp friday

new jaxcheese comp !! jaxcheese.bandcamp.com/album/select... it felt like time... I've been accumulating tracks a little slower since #9 but I think a lot of these are heavy hitters. some exciting new experiments and plenty of my favorite old sounds. thank you for listening <3

with as often as this gets posted it kinda feels like leaving money on the table that no one has released a chiptune album titled "the crap sound of 8-bit"

think this book just gaslit me with deliberately unclear kerning. insane tech!

that's what I'm talkin about

the orchestra is doing copland no.3 this week. never really felt spoken to by this stuff, appalachian spring, etc... what happened to this copland youtu.be/hdHkKTcgfNA

my dear friend @michaelwithana.bsky.social and I put together a bespoke 9-piece "rouge stage music from sonic adventure 2" cover band for this very special occasion. I'm working on the arrangements and I'll be playing drums. this will probably only happen once ever! not to be missed! I'm so excited

I made a "real book" with transcriptions of 15 handpicked vgm obscurities to bring to my local vgm jam sesh!! download JAX's DEEP JAMS at jaxcheese.net/sheets feat. tunes from MARIO ARTIST TALENT STUDIO, LEADING COMPANY, SNOOPY CONCERT, SORA NO FUDOUSAN, IHATOVO MONOGATARI, and more...

so thrilled to be on a tracklist here with *literally shogo sakai* as well as a bunch of chiptuners I admire. the album's going to be really great and unique from what I've heard, please check it out!! I think this is also the first time ever you can buy a cd with jaxcheese music on it, wow

this wkd: played loud brass music in the street. tonite: went to brutalist city hall to see some v placid, oblique experimental silent film. lot of ppl on this part of the net have been saying our Radical Resistance Art needs to be loud+horny but I wonder if there's still a place for the dry+subtle

new update to the meta. I knew of "brava" for a woman soloist before, but just now I worked on a tape where a guy called out "bravi" after the dittersdorf viola&bass concertante. apparently that's the right form for groups. so it's about more than just reaction time, you need to know the vocabulary

final goodbye to my home of ~20 months. like me, it was sometimes warm and loud and sometimes cold and quiet, it contained many mysteries, and it occasionally smelled a little funny

you used to be able to call things "rayxanber iii"

'Gunstar Heroes' was released on the SEGA Mega Drive 32 years ago today in Japan.

my ongoing galaxy brain take on this sort of dilemma is still that you absolutely should buy games that you don't like and which are terrible for you and you can't finish. I do this all the time and it's much more horrible and meaningful than "enjoying a game," gross

I wrote and sang a song for the new 10th anniv @staffcirc.bsky.social album!!! it was an honor to celebrate this special occasion with a bunch of musicians I have admired for years... I'm pretty new to this kind of songwriting so you will have to forgive the rough edges (but I plan to do more soon!)

tried listening to aphex twin "selected ambient works" for the first time yesterday and youtube somehow started playing vol 2 at the same time in the same tab and I didn't realize for like 20 minutes. it was kinda hip actually. "wow the asynchronous rhythms seem way ahead of his time" etc

it's Bandcamp Friday! one of the only big events that celebrates paying artists kindly :') check out my... - NEW album of emotional FM chiptune post-rock - electroacoustic glitch album with friends - experimental SNES chiptune album my car broke down recently so help is extra appreciated this time

it's bandcamp friday

someone should do a youtube video essay in the style of those glenn gould radio docs. "the monstrous avarice of wario land shake it" but there's an old woman musing on the psychology of greed in your left ear and a young businessman explaining the hardware inside the wiimote in your right ear

why did they teach us to start every letter with "dear [name]," not doin that unless the person is actually dear to me, which is a pretty serious thing. I think you have to try to be honest about it
