come to the “aphrodisiac” listening party!
infloresce’s newest compilation will have not one but two listening parties! pick a time that suits you (or come to both!)–the website automatically adjusts the time to your timezone. i can’t wait for everybody to hear this! (and of course, preorder on bandcamp!)
mix: world rally blue
a zippy nostalgic mix dedicated to my favorite car paint. been a while since i uploaded a mix (i did make one in between but it didn’t end up online, a few tracks from that one are here tho). mostly dnb and house on this one, i’ve been listening to a lot of the ambient swim liquid dnb mix (which is super sick as well), so that’s where my mind was at!
preorder infloresce vol.3 – aphrodisiac!
infloresce records vol.3 – aphrodisiac, is now available for preorder on bandcamp, tackling the topic of sexuality in all its forms! this is an album that has been years in the making and actively in production for over a year! now all four out of four previews have gone out, revealing the incredible cast of composers, and also me.
kill your backlog (re: “on cratediving” by noescapevg)
Reposted https://noescapevg.com/on-cratediving/. this article touches upon something that is part of my philosophy: backlogs are awful. something that i didn’t think about that kaile mentions is the comparative difference between music and games. i’m going to just be thinking out loud here, but i feel like it’s pretty rare for music fans to make a list of ALL the “great music” they haven’t listened to yet and then stressing out about that list. sometimes i might hear someone saying “oh man i should really check out more (insert act)”, or “i’m so ignorant about (genre), i should check out the…
in which meta steals my money and symphonic is a useless piece of shit
so for the last several weeks meta has not been fingerprinting my song, “the penis (eek!)”, (which gets hundreds of thousands of plays daily) on their platforms. this means that i am missing out on their (frankly pitiful) payment on this song. i complained about this to my distributor, symphonic, and they said it’s because the song has “non-exclusive content […] for example if it contains content sourced from public beat pages such as BeatStars”. but, well… that’s not true, this is an entirely original song composed by me with no sampled material whatsoever.
500 FINGER FILLET: demo out!
the game i’ve been doing sound design for, 500 FINGER FILLET, just came out with a demo! developed by heather flowers under the brand new DEADBODY games moniker, it’s a horror roguelite where you have to stab your own hand 500 times to escape a deadly (and kinda gay) trap. also, ursa is watching. explaining more would be spoiling it so check out the trailer and give it a wishlist if you like it! music and sound implementation is by the awesome josie brechner!
further adventures in webmentions, and some thoughts about it
i am part of a small but tight-knit community of people in the games industry who were active on the now-defunct “fourth website”, cohost. i don’t remember how the conversation got started, but some of us are dabbling in adding webmentions to our blogs and websites, a functionality which is part of the indieweb. bruno is now one of these people, and i have linked his post announcing the addition of webmentions to his blog above. i also realized that i simply announced that i added “webmentions” without elaborating further, so i’ll try to address this now.
shiba – どっかで無限に聴いた懐かしい雰囲気
shiiba is a wonderful DTM composer that takes a great deal of influence from the music of kirby and nintendo and such, and this latest track is an addictive catchy melody in that vein, check it out!
webmention testing never ends
this is a legally distinct function called a reply, not to be mistaken for a repost
