March 23rd is my girlfriend's birthday. She will be 49 years old. It is wild thinking about the lifetime we spent together so far. I think last year I asked for birthday wishes, and many people delivered. I made sure to give her each one individually :) Pretty sure it was last year... #blutoid

Yesterday I bit my tongue pretty hard while eating (accident, obviously). Now I'm mad at my teeth and no longer wish to take care of them :p I still do (now). I like the electric toothbrush. Ad Lib Volume 12 is not showing up on YouTube music. I don't know why, I have to assume copyright issue?

I kinda don't want to write new music because it'll bury Mist Spreads :p I'm very proud of that song. I originally wrote that version of the song in 2010 as a remix to Sentence of Mist, which is an old piano exercise I used to do in 97/98, turned into a song :p I will write more though.

I decided that the track I wrote "Reverse Side" will be the intro track to Ad Infinitum Anomalies instead of Alphadeus II. While not a part of the Ad Infinitum universe, I think it opens the album perfectly. Plus Anomalies will have tracks people may have never heard. Stuff planned.

Mist Spreads 🎵 Written for the upcoming 2026 album "Ad Infinitum Anomalies", a collection of remixes based on that universe of music. This is an updated version of Sentence of Mist Speed Mix, which is a remix of Sentence of Mist. One of my favorite songs (all versions). youtu.be/n98TfDp5C3Q

My girlfriend had some surgery done on her shoulder to repair a tear. She will be wearing a sling for at least 6 weeks while it heals. Her sister will be helping her as much as possible, and I will also try to help whenever I can. My abilities are extremely limited, though. In very bad shape :/

Feeling discouraged about making music, but at least my depression is at a reasonable level. So I guess I got that going for me. Been playing Diablo IV season. Made it to Torment I. Seems pretty fun for a short season. Nothing really to write home about, but I just enjoy the gameplay :P

Syntax 🎵 A remix of the song "Battle with Syn". Album name is currently "Ad Infinitum Anomalies", which will be a remix album of songs I consider to be in that universe. This includes music from the album Walking in Circles. Expect to see some remixes from that as well. youtu.be/vpsqO8yIB90

Against the Wind (Time Out) 🎵 There are many versions of this song, but this is one of my favorites. It does a lot of neat things that my music doesn't normally do. From the 2014 album "Ad Lib Vol. 1, Part 1". www.youtube.com/watch?v=yr2A...

It took around ten years of playing keyboard/piano to get comfortable with letting people hear me play. I wore headphones during that time and refused to play seriously for anyone that asked. I’d play “joke riffs” instead. I think 2006 is when i started sharing piano journals.

Birthday went pretty well yesterday. I didn't get cheesecake, but I got some chocolate pudding instead :p Not sure how I feel about the current season in Diablo IV yet. Only level 25. Feeling like I'm glad it's a short season. Looking forward to expansion in April... when FFXIV 7.5 patch is out :/

I’ll be honest. I thought at 45, I’d be a bit more bald (i have a bald spot on the top of my head close to the center). I also figured my hair would be grayer. There are spots, and my goatee is pretty gray. My health is alright i guess. Some tests need to be run eventually. All in all, I’m fine.

I am 45. Feels the same as 44 :p Pulled a muscle typing this post. Enjoy your day :) #blutoid

I probably seem like an always-depressed guy, but it’s not the case. I mean I’m going through it right now, but a lot of time is spent thinking positively. I feel like posting about happy stuff might come off as bragging. And when I’m sad, venting makes me feel better. Sorry if i seem sad 100%

The Amazing Sideshow 🎵 Written back in 2023 for the album Spectrum III. Title is based on the overall vibe of the song, plus the explosion sounds make me think of someone getting shot out of a cannon :p www.youtube.com/watch?v=TV9A...

Less than a day til my birthday, then I can shut up about it :p I might put Alphadeus II on hold to work on some jams. I need more practice with this new music program. I will say that I really like it.

I released an album of chiptune-style music called CHIPS X. 10 tracks, free download. Buying it is completely optional. Just knowing people are listening makes me happy. This is the first album I've written using the new DAW Cubase 15. #chiptunes #vgm #music alphadeus.bandcamp.com/album/chips-x

I feel very discouraged for many reasons. Depression has been manageable lately. Although i feel the worst right now compared to the past few days.

Zars, The Mad King (Work in Progress) 🎵 This video is uploaded directly to Bluesky. It's about a minute long. It's an idea I had yesterday to combine one of the Zars' motifs with "The Mad King". If you listen, let me know what you think. It's kinda basic at the moment.

I'll keep bringing it up because it's a milestone for me. Friday the 13th (yeah!) is my 45th birthday. No plans. I would have liked to have had a new "serious" album (like Alphadeus II) ready, but some things take time :) And I just released a new album. So it's all good.

I say this often (I think) but I think my music would be absolutely fucking epic with vocals/lyrics. I wrote a song the other day I tried to share but decided to delete the post (I feel the song may not be ready, or possibly I should keep it hidden until the album is done). Might post it again

I never thought I'd be one of those online people that quote song lyrics to describe how I feel atm, but here goes: Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world :p

My new album "CHIPS X" has been released. 10 tracks, free to download. Today is Bandcamp Friday as well, but I'm not really looking for sales. #musicsky #chiptune #chiptunes #originalmusic #vgm alphadeus.bandcamp.com/album/chips-x

Now is as good a time as any point this year I suppose. 2026 marks 30 years since I started writing original music. I think I started messing with a music keyboard in 1993 or so, playing simple versions of game tunes. March 13th will be 15 years since my 1st official album release. #blutoid

Fun and Excitement 🎵 8th song written for CHIPS X. I had fun making it, but I phoned in the excitement :p j/k www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1kx...

Listening to my music (specifically Ad Lib Vol. 12), I like the music I wrote, but I feel like if I didn't know it was written by me, I would think it was some kind of collaboration of different (mostly experimental) artists focused on different styles of music. I feel that is a bad thing.

I have an idea for a good "Happy 15th anniversary of releasing music" album, but it won't be ready by then. Plus it just popped in my head and I have no idea what to write, or call the tracks :P Tomorrow's song is pretty neat. I hope people enjoy Battle the Vampire. I like it a lot.

I uploaded Ad Lib Vol. 12 to streaming services (except Spotify and Pandora). It's all 3 volumes from last year combined into 1 30-track album. Has some really nice stuff on there. Will probably show up within a week or so.

Battle the Vampire 🎵 7th track for the upcoming album CHIPS X. This is the track I had on loop for a while yesterday. I just really like it I suppose :p Continues the "Vampire" line of music tracks since the 1st CHIPS album. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrUd...

Even though a new song posted today (A Hero Mourns), I'm really excited about tomorrow's track :p Been listening to it on loop for quite a while now.

I've written 6 tracks for CHIPS X. While I will most likely stop at 10 like I normally do (except for CHIPS IV and VIII), if I can't adapt my workflow to something other than chiptune style, I might write more music for CHIPS X before I release it.

I'm still playing FFXIV, but I don't really have any goals or desire to increase the item level of my gear (i770). I still have the 7.4 trial to complete, and I'm gonna try out the new variant dungeon coming out Tuesday. I just don't know what to do. So I guess I'll write music :p

Space Race 🎵 5th track for CHIPS X. I actually really like this one. I was going for an "epic space journey" style track. www.youtube.com/watch?v=scUQ...

I feel like I don't have much longer. I'm not sick or anything. I get weird sensations in my chest lately along with the usual heart palpitations. Honestly just a gut feeling. Then again, I get this way quite often. I suppose it has to do with my 45th birthday coming up.

Thinking Time 🎵 4th song for CHIPS X. Got a 5th one lined up for tomorrow as well. I feel like I'm back in business. After this album, it'll be time to try to write some complex music. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SoRk...

Round and Round 🎵 Should be public when I make this post. 3rd song for CHIPS X. A lot of notes and a little bit more variety than my usual composition. #chiptune #chiptunes #vgm #originalmusic www.youtube.com/watch?v=2nR0...

Picking up momentum, as I've written a 3rd song that will post midnight eastern to give the 2nd song time to breathe. The clip-based writing method using Cubase, which I thought I wouldn't like, is actually great. I kept having to "split" sections in Sonar, and sometimes that would be an issue.

Out of Body 🎵 Second song of 2026. I'm finally writing music again :) This one is a tiny bit more complicated than Back to Basics. The album will be CHIPS X. I started the CHIPS project in 2016, so it'll be 10 years in late March. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFcQ...

I wrote a second song that will post around midnight. Pretty cool song I think. Cubase has some neat features that make writing music easier. I just need to learn more of them :p

I wrote a new song finally after 4 months. It's very simple/basic, but it's at least something to show that I can use the new DAW. Probably will be the first track of CHIPS X. It's on my YouTube, I don't want to link since I just shared a song earlier, but most of you know where my stuff is :p

A Hero Prays 🎵 Written in 2020 for the album "CHIPS III". Somewhat of a sequel song to A Hero Approaches from the original CHIPS album. #chiptune #chiptunes #vgm #originalmusic www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9i1...

I've been listening to some random-ish music lately. Dance, trance, some 80s/90s stuff I've heard before but do not know it by name. Listening to my music as well, and it just sounds really weird in comparison. I can see why I'm niche and barely heard. It's not really a surprise.

My 45th birthday is coming up on Friday March 13th. I consider it a major milestone because it was the age my father was when he died. If anyone wants to buy me a drink (I’ll be old enough to drink! :p) I wouldn’t say no :) Hope everyone is doing alright.

I hate that when I die, It's going to be said of me that I'm finally at peace. While I do suffer quite a bit from things I don't control, I have already found peace knowing that I will one day be gone. I'm just waiting. The possibility of no longer existing makes me happy now.

My favorite Legend of Zelda games: Link to the Past Ocarina of Time Tears of the Kingdom I tried to play BotW but couldn't get into it (plus TotK came out a few weeks after I bought it). I really enjoyed my time with these games, especially LttP. #blutoid

CHIPS I-IX Compilation 🎵 This is a compilation video of the 110 tracks I wrote for the CHIPS series of albums. They are in a somewhat random order, with CHIPS VIII being the focus early on. There is no track list or timestamps. Sorry. Meant to play in the background. #chiptune youtu.be/eUeVSc0qgoE

Piano Journal 02-17-2026 🎵 Just recorded this, because not writing music is driving me insane. I've been playing the piano a bunch, though. So I recorded a session of improvised "thoughts" in music. #piano #music youtu.be/VeSqHiuGovg

I haven't shared any music in a while. Unless YouTube doesn't count embedded views, the music seems to mostly go unheard (maybe 1-2 people at the most, probably but I don't see it in the stats). So I don't know if I want to share anything. Maybe will just link to YT direct or Bandcamp. We'll see.

My depression is getting really bad lately. It doesn’t seem to be because of any particular issue. Just this overwhelming sense of sadness and hopelessness. Gotta be the chemicals in my brain or something. I’m having trouble doing stuff because of it.

I wonder if I’ve written all the music i could write. I mean almost 1200 songs. More than anyone should have to write. No major hits. Hardly even a ripple in the water. While I’m not giving up, it is something to think about.
