I Hope You Like Time Signatures...
This is an experimental track that, honestly, I'm not sure how much of an audience there will be for something like this - but I had a really fun time challenging myself with making it. Basically I wanted to try making a song that explores stacking Time Signatures and to see if I could keep it somewhat accessible/coherent. Below is the nerd section of the description for anyone who cares:
So my idea for this song was to "warm up" the listener by going through various building time signatures each at a time in order from 2/4 to 12/8, and then in the latter section (once "warmed up") the 9/8 riff heard earlier on repeats and simultaneous to that unstable time signatures (from either 2/4 to 12/8) play alongside it with the other instrumentation - weaving in and out from matching the starting beat of a measure in order to try and retain a sense of coherency amidst what would otherwise be total chaos.
So for example, the first two measures of 9/8 (9/8 and 9/8) in the final stretch are accompanied by 6/8, 2/4, 7/8, and 3/4. Both total to 18 beats, so they eventually converge again. From there I just used a variety of changes to weave in and out. I hope the results are at least an interesting listen. I wanted to do something like this a long while back and remembered the idea and that I hadn't done it yet after revisiting some Dillinger Escape Plan songs (if you don't like off the wall music I can't really recommend them, but hey, I like their stuff. So shout out to them for making me remember this.)

What the title says. Hopefully it's amusing enough in one way or another.

Just wanted to give a quick thanks. I actually at one point was considering making some kind of song to mix a thanks into but nothing was coming to me and I'm in the midst of working on a myriad of things currently, so I wouldn't want to force a half-baked idea. There's just too little time in the day to get all the things I want done, ya know? But yeah, thanks to anyone who has spent some time...

"Hey you, stop browsing and go to sleep already" says Pseud Sapien despite the fact he made this song at 2 A.M. Do as I say, not as I do... Anywho... it's been a while since I've done a slower relaxing song, so I felt like doing this. But yeah, seriously though... get some sleep.
If the DOOM music was Happy

Headbanging with a friendly smile. The idea popped into my head to make a weird combo of a happy overall track while having the wide chunky riff style Mick uses in the modern DOOM OSTs. Instead of stomping on demons' heads Doomguy can take Daisy out for a walk in the field of flowers.

Enjoy your surprise. I actually planned to make the ending fully authentic rather than having to resort to a stock effect, but unfortunately I didn't have the, uh, resources by the time I had my mic ready to record. We'll all have to settle for imagining what could have been. The vision is there though, I think you'll agree. Don't unsub

Eternal damnation has never been so cool. I don't know what compelled me to make this or why such a stupid premise for a song popped into my head, but hopefully my shenanigans don't detract from the music too much. If they do, hopefully your brain is running on as low of sleep as mine was when I made this video, so that in itself becomes the entertainment. I love how the end sequence turned out...
My First Song in FL Studio

I mean pretty much what the title says. The end is a bit on the nose, but I like it so I kept it. Made this right after getting FL Studio so I'm getting familiar with it in transitioning over from LMMS. Given how progressively structured I like to make some of my songs I was able to just kinda do my thing and naturally test out most everything along the way. Quite like it so far though it's fan...
Defeat the King that Hides from the Sun (Orchestra Music)

Fantasy orchestral sorta stuff. Although when I look back on the art it makes me think Elder Scrolls a bit I definitely was feeling more of a JRPG kinda vibe as I was putting the music together. More of an old school Final Fantasy kinda thing or something I dunno. I haven't tried to write a full orchestra piece before and for whatever reason that occurred to me and seemed like a fun thing to do...
Sound Bathing/Brain Comb (Full Mini Album)

Sound Bathing/Brain Comb is a continuous collection of 9 parts (or it can be viewed as one long song) fusing ambient, electronic, and jazzy/funky progressively structured ideas together. The idea with this was to make an experimental project alternating between mellow sections for "sound bathing", more atypically structured/textured sections to "comb" the brain, or some combination of the two. ...
Thoughts Before the Final Battle (NES Music)

I wanted to make a song that could play on an actual NES sound chip, so that's how this came about. Although I went widescreen with the art for the sake of a better viewing experience, it's still a 240 pixel height and I limited myself to the NES color palette as well to capture the proper aesthetics. The NES only has 5 channels producing sound in mono - 3 which are wave channels (2 pulse and o...
A Likable Villain's Theme Song

Another one of my incredibly creative song titles... Anyway, I played the Persona 2 games (both Innocent Sin and Eternal Punishment) a while back and the mood of the OSTs stuck with me so it inspired some of the "texture" of this track if you'll allow me to use a wine-sniffing music term. Especially the end section of this I feel would be right at home in SMT/early Persona. I wasn't even thinki...

I was thinking about using old gaming system beeps and boops in odd time signatures and as it came together in my head I - for whatever reason - imagined this. It's completely random and stupid I know. But I made it, so here we are.

Initially I started thinking up a tune in my head that would be at home in an older racing game (you know the ones. Breakbeat, bass and drums, electronic, jazzy snazzy stuff) but as I started to feel it out I ended up going with something that has a lighter tone with an image of a robot (or "robot", since I went for an image that tells a story a bit) getting handed a flower in my head - a kinda...

I hope you've got some good low-end on your headphones/speakers, cuz we're getting chunky today. I think DOOM: The Dark Ages getting announced (at the time of me making this) made me have heavy riffs on the mind. Pair that with some rave style shiz and an organ and I mean, yeah, this is what ya get.
