Enjoyed watching Ruins, one of my favorite bands, almost live on YouTube! #ruins #brutalprog #yoshidatatsuya

"It’s progressive thrash powered up to the nth degree..." Many thanks to @toiletovhell.bsky.social hell for the nice review of the new AutoReplicant album "Drone Down!" Check it out at toiletovhell.com/mini-reviews... #thrashmetal #mathcore #grindcore #diypunk #diymetal #mathmetal

A few more Inktober drawings from a few years ago! #pendrawing #drawing #penandink

Album of my electronic dance-ish stuff! Features some microtonal tracks! #idm #abletonproducer #ableton #microtonal #edm #musicproducer aaronmyersbrooks.bandcamp.com/album/overla...

The first piece on my solo microtonal guitar album was reamped/mixed/mastered by the inimitable Colin Marston! It's structure is based around a slow 11 against 6 polyrhythm, hence the title. #experimentalmusic #microtonality #colinmarston #guitar aaronmyersbrooks.bandcamp.com/album/oblique

Once upon a time I recorded a tiny EP of Orthrelm covers! Very tricky stuff to figure out! #orthrelm #mickbar #brutalprog #mathrock aaronmyersbrooks.bandcamp.com/album/orthre...

Bandcamp Friday is upon us once more! My solo stuff runs the gamut from prog metal to contemporary classical to electronic, usually with an experimental bent, and always with quirky rhythms. #bandcampfriday #experimentalmusic #prog #polyrhythms #oddtimesignatures aaronmyersbrooks.bandcamp.com

Real flower in front of artificial flowers in our yard!

Purchased the official rom for Sega Genesis indie run and gun Xeno Crisis! Enjoying it on my PC and my Anbernic Arc handheld! #indiegames #retrogaming #segagenesis #megadrive #anbernic

Probably the most Joe Satriani thing I've ever written! #shred #progrock #instrumentalrock #mathrock #riffs #progressiverock aaronmyersbrooks.bandcamp.com/track/euphor...

Less digitized version of the art for my latest solo release "Two Tracks - Summer 2025." #pendrawing #experimentalmusic aaronmyersbrooks.bandcamp.com/album/two-tr...

Tomorrow is back to school! Here are the JRPG's I finished this summer: 1. Dragon Quest III Remake (Switch) 2. Lunar Silver Star Story (Switch) 3. Saga Frontier 2 (Switch) 4. Final Fantasy Legend II aka SaGa II (Game Boy) #retrogaming

Recording some new Monochromatic Residua riffs! Monochromatic Residua is my microtonal death metal project with Stephen Klunk and Albert Hall! We've got drums tracked for a new 3 song EP. Guitars are 60 percent done. Vocals will happen in the not-too-distant future! #deathmetal #microtonalguitar

Saying farewell to summer break with two short new recordings! The first is a mobile form piece for guitar and Game Boy. The second is a riffy tune for microtonal guitar and drum machine! These will likely both be expanded into larger pieces. aaronmyersbrooks.bandcamp.com/album/two-tr...

Some favorite tiny Transformers acquired in recent years! #transformers #toys

Some favorite Star Trek and Transformers toys by the front door! #transformers #toys #startrek #90skid

Yesterday's 1-credit-clear was Street Fighter Alpha 3! I'm enjoying trying the previously portable-version only characters that were just added to the collection! #capcomfightingcollection2 #retrogaming #fightinggames #1creditclear

Recent vinyl acquisition: one of Cynic's least metal records!

Speaker guardians! #chocobo #shyguy #yamahahs

ZPF update! Managed to break 1 million points! Still haven't found all the secrets. #zpf #indiegames #shmup #retrogaming #segagenesis #megadrive

Happy to add to the chorus of shmup fans enjoying Earthion! #earthion #shmup

Happy Bandcamp Friday! My mathy/grindy thrash-metal band AutoReplicant has 2 CDs and a logo shirt on its Bandcamp, and I have microtonal guitar CDs on my solo page! autoreplicant.bandcamp.com aaronmyersbrooks.bandcamp.com #thrashmetal #diypunk #progrock #microtonal #experimentalmusic #bandcampfriday

Retro game systems in the basement! #retrogaming

Vinyl records of such an inherently digital medium as video game music soundtracks is a fairly whacky idea. Nonetheless, I very much enjoy my vinyl copy of the Thunder Force IV soundtrack, particularly the omake disc of tracks not actually heard in a run of the game! #thunderforceiv

"...what stood out to me was how they ride the line between surgical technicality and chaotic grind. There’s a raw, almost punk energy woven into what’s otherwise a highly progressive and complex sound." Nice review of the new AutoReplicant album! theeclecticgirl.com/auto-replica...

Managed to beat Dive Alert on Neo Geo Pocket, and I very much enjoyed it! (perhaps all the negative reviews tempered my expectations) #neogeopocketcolor #retrogaming #divealert #jrpg

Was able to get my very simple GBStudio game to work on a real Game Boy via this cart reader/writer and flash cart from Inside Gadgets! Was also able to back up my save file from Final Fantasy Legend III aka SaGa III. aaronmeterchanges.itch.io/alien-collec... #retrogaming #gameboy

I don't consider anything perfect, but these come close: Chrono Trigger Final Fantasy 6 Street Fighter 2 Hyper Fighting Thunder Force IV Sonic 2 Is it obvious I'm an elder millennial? ;)

Neo Geo Pocket games that weren't on the Switch collections! The three Japanese games are King of Fighters R-1, Samurai Shodown! 1, and Biomotor Unitron 2. Hoping that the price on Faselei comes down eventually. Which NGP deep cut is your favorite? #neogeopocket #retrogaming #neogeopocketcolor

Keyboard cats!

First appearance of "Papa Smurf" in a while! (Avatar 2x12 guitar cab with eminence speakers) #guitargear #guitaramp #avatarcab #quilteramp

Today's 1-credit-clear is King of the Monsters on Sega Genesis! I think I prefer the Genesis versions of this and its sequel to the Neo Geo versions. #retrogaming #kingofthemonsters #1cc #1creditclear #segagenesis #megadrive

Still on the Switch 1 for now. Here are a few recent acquisitions! All reversible covers have been reversed. #nintendoswitch #retrogaming #physicalmedia #switch1

Managed to 1cc ZPF! (no TLB though) The scoring system is quite engaging. My 1cc run score was quite a bit lower than my best scoring run, where I didn't get past stage 6. This is the next to last regular boss! Great game! @megacatstudios.bsky.social #shmup #retrogaming #segagenesis #megadrive

Unlocked one of the secret bosses in indie shmup ZPF! It seems you have to no-miss most of a level with its corresponding ship type, shoot a bird who then provides a key. Do this for both levels of a type and you'll immediately start the secret boss fight. #shmup #zpf #indiegame

Very excited to receive my copy of ZPF for Sega Genesis/Mega Drive from @megacatstudios.bsky.social, a Pittsburgh based game studio! #zpf #shmup #segagenesis #megadrive #retrogaming

I drove roughly 20 hours over the last few days. Here's the music I listened to! 1/2 Rush "Caress of Steel" Meghan Thee Stallion "Tina Snow" Pelican "Flickering Resonance" Bikini Kill "Reject All American" Romancing SaGa 3 OST Koenji Hyakkei "Live at Club Goodman" Boredoms "Vision Creation Newsun"

Sometimes computers make me happy, like when I get to organize music files and play Mortal Kombat Trilogy.

Shoutout to @aaronmeterchanges.bsky.social. Received today: AutoReplicant – Drone Down. New 2025 CD album by this band from Pittsburgh, PA. If you are into technical thrash like Dimension Hatröss VoiVod or Watchtower – you have to check this out! 1/2 #AutoReplicant #nowplaying #MetalSky #Thrash

Managed to clear two of the SaGa games recently: SaGa 2 (aka Final Fantasy Legends II) and Saga Frontier 2 Remaster! Very much enjoyed both in all their quirky and strange glory! #retrogaming #saga #sagaseries #finalfantasylegendii #sagafrontier2remaster #squareenix #squaresoft #jrpg

Current CD library, plus some retro games! #cdcollector #cdcollection #cdlibrary #retrogaming #retrogames

Two recent CD pick-ups of some excellent music: avant-prog from Happy Family and free-jazz from Mitchell/Ewen/Smith/Walter! #progrock #rockinopposition #experimentalmusic #freejazz #cdcollector #compactdisc

Three SNK vs Capcom (not to be confused with Capcom vs SNK) carts for portable systems! #neogeopocket #retrogaming #snkvscapcom #snk #capcom #nintendoswitch

Happy Bandcamp Friday! My math/grind/thrash metal band AutoReplicant's new album "Drone Down" is now four weeks old! autoreplicant.bandcamp.com/album/drone-... #thrashmetal #metalcd #mathcore #grindcore #mathmetal #punkcd

Wildflowers and an obscure Transformer! #transformers

Here's a fun/silly thing! Trying to teach myself GB Studio. (mostly for music purposes) Here's a lightly interactive chiptunes EP where you play an alien music teacher collecting musical examples. You can play in browser or download the ROM! aaronmeterchanges.itch.io/alien-collec... #chiptunes

My math/thrash/grind band's new album is out today! #thrashmetal #mathcore #grindcore #metalcd autoreplicant.bandcamp.com/album/drone-...
