Also, watching the final stages of the Artemis mission live is absolutely wild

First finished page in @jazzastudios.com's alcohol marker colouring book that arrived last week sometime 😁

Yeah awesome, I would definitely use scale highlighting!

I was wondering about that! Could you switch from coloured keycaps to lights underneath the keys to indicate tuning perhaps? Then you could select different tunings too, e.g. drop D, and see it visually 🤔

Yes love this!!

Lunar eclipse and blood moon last night! We had such a great view of it from our deck and the sky was completely clear. A bit chilly though haha.

I just uploaded the music video for Raven, my latest single 😁. Would love it if you checked it out!

Shot right here in my office with whatever was laying around 😂

Raven is now up on Bandcamp! Dungeon synth-adjacent to assist you with your existential dread.

Fully arranged on the EP-133 KO II using samples from the Microfreak and various drum samples.

The rain is from my field recordings, which are included as bonus tracks.

I tend to create a rough template first with the instruments and patches I think go well together. Then when I'm (roughly) done with a track, I'll copy it for the next track but might make tweaks as I inevitably want a few different sounds lol

I'm wrapping up on a new track and I'm pretty stoked with it if I'm being frank (but I'm Nick so take that with a grain of salt).

Dungeon synth vibes. All arranged on the EP-133 which was a cool challenge. Also including some of my ambient field recordings.

I'm sure you already know this but these are so damn cool

Sweet will do!

Maybe a long shot but if/when you start looking at adding music to your game, I'd be keen to provide some tunes!

I must've started Dark Souls 1 and 3 with the intention of finishing them so many times haha but I end up watching mostly challenge runs for them on YouTube 😅

I gotta say you are nailing the Bloodborne and Dark Souls vibes 🖤

The new track is up on Bandcamp! A little higher tempo than usual but still a little unnerving I hope 😵

Oh thank you so much! And yeah definitely keen, hit me up whenever 😁

The new cemetery king probably!

phlebotomy II, by blod [sic] 5 track album

Would this suffice? 😁

Sounds good, hope YouTube treats the other shorts a bit better!

I always get wildly different numbers for the shorts I upload - I definitely wouldn't worry about it too much!

Maybe too cheesy 😉

The hardest part after finishing a track is coming up with a creepy but still cheesy name... What's it going to be this time??

Recorded another couple of tracks on the guitar this afternoon. I think this one is getting close to being finished 🤔

Going to watch a rescreening of The Labyrinth at the cinema tonight! Somehow I've never seen it so I'm super excited 👀

Saw @gianmarcosoresi.bsky.social in Auckland last night and my god this guy is funny

I really don't understand why some of these shorts get a bunch of views but then others get basically none 🫠

I've updated my scale/mode helper app to include a few different guitar and bass tunings I use. It's all URL-based so you can bookmark your favourites to make it easier.

Worked on a couple of new Microfreak patches today, inspired by lo-fi dungeon synth sounds. So far I've got a nice warbly organ and a crusty/noisy lead. This thing just keeps surprising me with how much it can do (with a few effects anyway).
