Prepping for live performance. It will be a while before I am prepared for messing about in realtime, but it's something I've wanted to do with my music for many years.

I'm cooking up a couple more tracks, hoping to release them as singles as well later this year. I don't know that I'm going to continue the album format anymore, as it's just going to cause me to hold on to tracks forever.

Of course I had to play a @sanxion7.com song to celebrate. I could only play StepmaniaX at conventions, so I don't have much practice :3c

It is #bandcampfriday today - Bandcamp's revenue share (15%) is given back to the artist. Today's the day to check back on your wishlist and also share your favorite albums!

"Eumorpha" is released just in time for Bandcamp Friday! As always, pay what you want. sanxion7.bandcamp.com/album/eumorpha

Grotesque (Gargoyle II) is released with two different mixes: "rhythm game mix" and "extended mix". Instrumentals and vocals are Bandcamp-only goodies if you get it there. Available free at the Bandcamp site. sanxion7.bandcamp.com/album/grotes...

The Bandcamp release of "Grotesque" will have some extra goodies, and will be available sooner than other platforms. I'm aiming for tonight or tomorrow for release! I'll post links when it's live.

Writing within constraints (like an older piece of MIDI hardware) is a lot of fun, I think I'll do these more often.

It's not "official" music, just sometimes I get that DTM module itch.

Another WIP that's pretty much dormant (but almost there), "Eyes Forward' www.youtube.com/watch?v=2smb...

here's the comm sheet: bsky.app/profile/did:...

Bsky was having trouble with this upload (so it's on YouTube) but I wanted to share another thing I've been workshopping the last couple weeks: www.youtube.com/watch?v=GqSD...

A lot going on behind the scenes for this game idea. Much of this may find the cutting room floor.

This might lead to saving other projects, we shall see...

I had an idea to make the first repetition of a phrase just one semitone shifted from an earlier occurrence. Cooked a bit yesterday, and this is what I came up with.

I was already kinda done with SoundCloud; I have vented frustrations with the site on my personal account before. Starting today my music will not be available from that site. I am working on an alternative method of sharing music scraps and other works in progress.

You can expect this to get some use in projects on the horizon. Really neat piece of gear.

It's not album release news, but not every moment needs to be about the next project. :)

(up too late already but you don't always get to schedule inspiration for the afternoon)

Work machine operational again. We are cooking on an M4 Max based Apple Studio now. These are incredible machines for low latency music construction.

bandcamp Friday begins. We released this charity album! All proceeds will be donated to Game Center Betty-san, an independent Japanese arcade which is heavily damaged by the earthquake in 2024. iwate-evolved.bandcamp.com/album/otoge-...

Been working out a script for a video essay that goes through the process of writing a track. There are many of these out there, but given that we all do it quite differently I think it is worth making, still.

Bandcamp lets us keep 85% of revenue. That is the best rate of anybody out there. Over a period of about 15 years, I have taken home ~$3000. Every album is "pay what you want", so you all rock. If you bought an album for $5 then you gave me more than streaming the whole album ~300 times.

I do like working with other independent musicians (particularly queer/adjacent!) and I'd be happy to collab some more this year.

This one has been sitting on my hard drive for a couple years, about time to release it. (Although it is the instrumental as the vocals are not actually completed.) Thanks to Oddy for making this possible by sending me the original stems. soundcloud.com/saxxonpike/2...

If I get to 300 here I'll post progress on a long version of Grotesque. Or 3k on YouTube, whichever happens first.

I have used products from Rigid Audio for a couple years already. They're quite good for pads and grimy loops especially when I want to fill out a mix. If you have Kontakt, do check this bundle out. They got basically their entire lineup for $25. www.rigid-audio.com/products_eve...

[cw flashing] I've decided for a brief moment I will not be modest about my music because these riffs fucking kick ass this shit is cool as fuck, PC LP4 is music for fucking badasses and you can buy the album if you're a badass. #bandcampfriday #diysky plasmacutter.bandcamp.com/album/wolves...

A bit of experimentation in Nexus again tonight. Seven patches made from init for experimentation (no presets). Inspired by (and uses vocals from) "I Am -Corov's Conlang Mix-" by Case Jackal.

PLASMA CUTTER LP4 IS HERE. IF YOU LIKE EMO AND POP PUNK AND CHIPTUNE AND GHOST HUNTING AND HATE HENRY FORD THIS ALBUM IS FOR YOU. CHECK OUT THIS EXTREMELY REAL PARANORMAL VIDEO THEN TELL YOUR FRIENDS. plasmacutter.bandcamp.com/album/wolves... 🐺⚡🍊🌊🎸🎶 #diysky #bandcampfriday

Also since it's Bandcamp Friday and all the monies go to the artist here's my last album if you wanna: soundvision.bandcamp.com/album/determ...

It's Bandcamp Friday! --- no dumbass fees or cuts --- 100% of the sale goes DIRECTLY to the artist. Grab my latest album now & share the good news! huepow00.bandcamp.com/album/metal-...

if you fuck with plasma cutter you are legally obligated to give aftersome from jay's new album log off and go outside!! one million plays that's how it is on this bitch of an earth

#BandcampFriday is upon us, a special day where 100% of the revenue goes to the artists. (For what it's worth, they already treat us well.) My entire catalog is available, for free or pay what you want. Check the most recent chiptune album "Wave Program": sanxion7.bandcamp.com/album/wave-p...

It's #BandcampFriday again! The day where 100% of the profits go towards the artists! Oh hey! Did you know that I'm one of those musical artists? I make various flavors of #synthwave and released an album a while back called In Flux! diym.bandcamp.com #furry #furrymusic #rubberfur #latexfur

Nexus5 is out now. I started learning all about the changes by creating a supersaw trance lead using the new layer editor feature. #musicproduction

Fastest Furs Fall Fest 2024 ( @fastestfurs.com ) starts on Thursday and marks 5 years for me as a speedrunning event organizer. In that time we have raised over $55k for various charities, featured hundreds of runners, and helped to bring more furries into the larger speedrunning community.

"Eumorpha" is a faster almost-pop/rave/techno track featuring vocals. This is planned for a future release, perhaps with a longer edit, but the "rhythm game cut" is wrapped up already. youtu.be/OeFluY_Bnjo?...

"Grotesque" is a spiritual sequel of sorts to "Gargoyle". This will be released soon with an extended mix, but this is the original "rhythm game cut". youtu.be/vxhO4Oij21s?...

All of my new music releases and YouTube sneak peeks will be announced here. Follow this account for updates.

And we're live.
