As you all probably know, I make music - from guitar covers of things to guitar pieces I write to other covers of stuff to original chiptune/electronic music.

My stuff is at
Youtube (most things)
Bandcamp (only originals, but better quality)
Soundcloud (old stuff, won't be used anymore with recent soundcloud changes)

Original Music

Myths of Ganeia
Chiptune album entirely made only on a GameBoy (emulator) via LSDj. Work in progress.

Imagine, if you will, an obscure action rpg dearly beloved by the 4 people who played it, made for an old gaming handheld. This game never existed and never will, but if it did, this would be its soundtrack.

Damn, I had no idea you had so many songs up. Also, neat note about Misirlou. Didn't know that.

Edit: Post size limit is 60000 characters. That's about 10000 words.

Yeah, all the chiptune stuff is actually from the last 4 months even - I tried out LSDj to see if using a tracker to make music was good for me (because I wanted something as portable as possible to make music what with baby and all) and it really clicked with me. Good for avoiding doomscrolling too, sometimes.

(a tracker is software where you compose music by entering the notes in s spreadsheet-like interface rather than playing them directly or using a pianoroll or whatever. It looks a bit arcane

)

Did another song on the M8, a cover this time, of Drink & Industry from the Dwarf Fortress soundtrack
I feel the soundtrack is oddly unrepresented in the cover area on youtube given how popular the game is.

Absolutely kickass Damn, that's fire. That's my favorite song by far. When DF was just about to release I counted down the final two hours on a twitch stream with a ton of other excited people listening to this on a loop. Such a good song.

Impressed you manage to capture the frenetic energy of it so well! Really well done, honestly.
