I've seen people trying to defend it today by saying "No, no, I just use it to brainstorm, bounce ideas, I do the actual writing" and with all the kindness in the world I need to tell you: if there is a stage of writing you are not good at, you need to get good, not use the plagiarism machine.

The Copernicus Strain is now available to stream or purchase on my bandcamp page; official release and listening party on An Eclectic Collection of Dust's page April 10th at 9pm. episode81.bandcamp.com/album/the-co...

Album is finished, uploaded, sent to the publisher...no turning back now. "The Copernicus Strain" releases a week early on my personal bandcamp page, April 10th everywhere else. I look forward to seeing you all in the listening party.

My toddler just said "I love you dada" for the first time so I guess you could say my life is pretty good

The Copernicus Strain is the story of a long-forgotten city, a hidden society, and dismantling the oppressive ruling class, no matter the cost. Pre-orders are available now, the album releases April 3rd, 2026. episode81.bandcamp.com/album/the-co...

I have a new track on this An Eclectic Collection of Dust compilation--my first release on this label. Check it out below: aneclecticcollectionofdust.bandcamp.com/album/earth-...

Happy 40th anniversary to "The Legend of Zelda" (released on February 21, 1986).

Go team, go sports!

I'm excited to announce I've accepted an offer to join the brilliant roster of ambient/experimental artists at An Eclectic Collection of Dust. I'll still be releasing my music on my own pages, but I'll also be under their umbrella for the foreseeable future. aneclecticcollectionofdust.bandcamp.com

episode81.bandcamp.com/live/sublima... Hey friends! Listening party for Sublimation is officially open!My fanclub is also $5 right now; that means you get this and every album in my discography for just $5.

Listening party today at 7pm EST. I'm excited about this one because @conbonmondon.bsky.social will be there in the chat with me as we tell the story of the album to you like an audio book you have to read. So...a book. episode81.bandcamp.com/merch/sublim...

Hey remember that period in gaming from like 2006-2013 when everything was just...brown?

Set to release January 17th, 2026, Sublimation is an album that began as a game jam that soon became too ambitious for our team to finish. Check out the guided listening party on January 16th at 7pm EST and experience the story with me. episode81.bandcamp.com/album/sublim...

[New album] is very close to release, I'm just trying to figure out what date works best. Plus a listening party still to come.

Look all I'm saying is I've never seen Giles from Buffy and the lead singer of Tears for Fears in the same room together...

Killzone: Liberation is really fun and I'm sad the franchise is all but dead. Even the official website now redirects to Playstation's website. I miss Killzone...

I'm curious how many people take other people's opinions on your work seriously. For me, I don't take much stock whether people love or hate what I do as long as I'm proud of it...which sounds good, but when you're your own worst critic it's actually terrible.

Thinking about that time my mom asked me unironically "do you guys get The YouTubes?"

I just remembered all these poetry/art promo thingies I made for my Facebook audience back when I considered myself more of a writer than a composer. I'll start sharing them here periodically, starting with this one which is relevant to my current state.

I always forget how great Parker Posey is in Josie and the Pussycats

Listening party for my new ambient album "Murmurs" begins in ~15 minutes. Be there or be...not there. episode81.bandcamp.com/live/murmurs...

Many of you will be surprised to know I'm in a #barbershop chorus, and I'm actually in Toledo right now for a competition. We're slated to go on at 10:12 EST. You can catch the livestream here: www.singjad.com/2025-fall-co...

Hey ambient fans! My new album "Murmurs" comes out October 27th, and the listening party is at 10pm EST on the day of the release. I love these album release/listening parties because I can connect with friends and fans alike. It's been almost a year since my last one so this is important to me.

Thanks for the overwhelming response to my call for artists! Submissions are now closed; I have to sift through all these requests and there's only so much time in the world.

Looking for Unity devs for a survival horror game jam I'm working on...we have a writer, 3D artist, programmer, and a composer/writer (me) but we are looking for help on the 3D art/programming side to get stuff done before the deadline October 28th. DM if interested.

I don't understand why people like baled potatoes when every preperation I can think of is superior. Fried, potato pancakes, hasbrowns, scalloped, potato salad, gnocchi, au gratin, and of course, boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew.

Until I can get @fantano.bsky.social, @derrickgee.bsky.social, or the gang at @hearingthingsco.bsky.social to talk to me about my music, I am asking YOU to hit me with just three questions about my forthcoming EP (which I will send you for free if you ask)!

Imposter syndrome rears its hideous head. Too many things in my life to even think about composing and when I do everything I write goes straight in the trash. I have four different albums in different states of completion and it feels like they'll never be finished at this rate.

Released the soundtrack to a game I was working on until recently. Just a title, ambient exploration and end theme, but the bulk of my work was on SFX. It's stuck in development hell and hopefully we'll see a release eventually. episode81.bandcamp.com/album/unnatu...

If you get upset about being cut off at a bar/restaurant, there's probably a reason you were cut off.

Proud to be an American, but ashamed of my country. Happy 4th.

I'm tired, boss.

I've been away from piano for far too long, time to take some lessons again. I need structure. I am not good at self-teaching. Getting my favorite piano piece--Debussy's "La Cathedral Engloutie"--performance ready is my new goal.

Watching old Salt-N-Pepa music videos and I just remembered how badly I wanted a flat top when I was a kid and my mom had to break it to me that my hair won't do that. I think she just didn't want me to have a super fly hairstyle.

Working on two game jams right now, plus two other albums, plus my summer chorus performances coming up. I was going to take on another soundtrack but my wife said she misses me.

Why is every SNL actor Canadian?

Just watched The Last Jedi again for the first time in a couple years and it's still great. Haters can kriff off.

More scary sounds coming soon; I'm working on a new horror game jam soundtrack.
