I haven't been active in...months, but all that's going to change! I've reblogged this from my main blog, so please lemme know if you're interested!

Fuck it, I'm opening up commissions like I meant to do months ago.

Do you want a theme for your ocs, projects, or scenes? Look no further! Narrative composition is my jam and I want to build up a portfolio, AND I love it when people gush about their projects, so let's help each other out!

I charge $3.00 US per 30 seconds of audio, I'll start working on a commission as soon as I'm able and then you get the finished product when you pay for it (you'll get a partial demo track for free to decide if you like where the song's going or if you want to change something before you pay)

You can dm me or fill in a commission request on the linked Google Form and I'll get to you to discuss details as soon as I can. Thanks!

So I had this whole plan where I was going to do a countdown to Rune Factory 4 Special’s western release where I released a new cover from the OST every few days until the game came out and then...that didn’t happen

I never actually posted my finished transcription for Leon Karnak, and I will at some point but not right now. No, in the mean time? Have this demon song. I struggled so hard to get a semi-passable recording of this. I like my reduction of it for the most part but it’s deceptively tricky...and I’m the one who reduced it. So this isn’t a clean recording, but it’s probably the best you’re gonna get from me at this point in time.

I also have a blooper reel that’s basically half an hour of me crying if anyone’s interested in me cutting that up and posting it at some point (I kind of lost my mind for a while there whoops)

So anyway, yeah. I had fun with this, I just also wanted to throw my piano out the window so there’s that.

So hope you enjoy, and I’ve got a few other things queued up (OST’s and otherwise)

Stay safe, y’all

Me listening to my early compositions be like

In 1997, two composers created ‘The Most Unwanted Song’ by issuing a public opinion survey and compiling all the lyrical and musical elements that most people found annoying.

It combines a harp, accordion, out-of-tune children singing about Christmas and Walmart, high-pitched flutes, tubas, keyboard demos, someone yelling random political terms through a megaphone, and an operatic soprano rapping over cowboy music, bagpipes, and screams.

It’s 22 minutes long.

Orchestra conductors are something else, man.

There are wizards casting spells...

...some ascend to another mental plane...

(Valery Gergieve, Riccardo Chailly)

...and some go total Super Saiyajin!

Stages of waiting for audition results

Right afterwards when u feel relief surge through your body cuz it’s over

First stages of stress and regretting the mistakes u made

Trying to text ur orchestra directors to see if they’ll show you the list early

Watching random twoset videos until u find out (im crrently at this step)

Getting the list

I just totally forgot how music worked for a second

—me, forgetting how to read music

someone: Do you think Bach would be an excellent marriage therapist because of the way he made two differing melodies sound great when put together, the way two people can be very different and yet great together?

me, who actually knows music history: It’s called polyphony, and no

I still think about this

Music history professor: can you learn Rachmaninoff no. 3 for us?

Pianist: no way

Professor: coward

New song! For this song, I imagined a hero in a pixelated RPG game approaching their final battle. It’s not tied to a video game though, it was just for fun!
