Statement from the stars:
As of 11/3/2025, effective immediately, all albums forward will be $5, whether it be pure instrumental or otherwise.
Jacobson Hallwood Music has signed an A.I. "Musician" for an upcharge of Three - yes, THREE- Million dollars.
As much as I hate to say this, coming from someone who tries to be optimistic, no matter what: for instance- I'm typing this right now with an extreme tooth pain, waiting to go the dentist. I have had this pain for two days now, and it shows no signs of stopping. Yes, I will update this when I get back.
As someone who tries to see the good in things, I fear this is the first step into the revolution of industry. The final nail in the coffin, last line of defense broken; whatever analogy you want to use for the end: it's here.
Seeing as though this means that corpoheads have found out that A.I. can shit out "songs" in record time, there will be no need to hire working people.
Another thing: A.I., being a conglomeration of all things it's swept up in it's path, no one can legally own it. This is a win/loss. On one hand, the people making will never be able to market it, on the other hand, everything will have A.I. "music". Since it's free use.
I originally licensed my albums under the Creative Commons ASA (Attribution share-alike) which meant that anyone from anywhere could use it, even commercially, without hinderance. I have since, as of today; effective immediately, revoked that license. My albums, in whole, are now all copyrighted by me, All Rights Reserved.
Now, that may sound like a dumb maneuver, but really and seriously think about it. I was granting free access to any and all people, solely because I make music for the sake of making music. I care not what it's used for, or by whom. However: I will NOT have my art used by corpoheads so tainted by avarice that they can no longer make real substance. Taylor Swift, The Weeknd, Drake. These three are artists I despise, for one reason or another, but they share a common fact of making a lot of music in a short time. For the sake of this topic, I'll spare going into full detail; basically I fault them no longer. Taylor Swift's newest album, which is utter trash, is still of substance, at least compared to something so redundant in it's now infant state. Even the worst music, made by the greediest person, will still be so far above something made by an A.I. that I will march, scream & preach to the choir in their name.
That being said, to anyone making youtube documenteries and//or whatever general videos you make: my art is free range. You all may use it, I ask for no money, no compensation, just a tag in the description if you use one of my tracks. You could make 100k off a video, I will not care. At all. I am solely licensing everything under A.R.R. so that the heathens that infantilize actual effort and human touch of imperfection can no longer legally, without paying me, use my art in commercials, trainings, what have you.
We're marching closer and closer to midnight, and as a wise merchant once said: "Don't get it mistaken: we do live in a dystopia. It's just a really boring one."
"Take me while I'm talking revelation."

Dando Vueltas is my first album with drums, if you discount the ending of Free Noisemaker, which was me testing the plugin. I'm really enjoying having the full arsenal at my disposal.
'I also made an album about the game "No, I'm Not A Human", it really struck me as a wholesale masterpiece & I can't wait for Trioskaz's game after it.
What I'm here for is "Big B". It's not out yet, but it's 8 Minutes or so of pure passion and love for Buckethead. I can't begin to explain how amazingly insightful it is to read some of the posts on his website. Of all the famous people I've ever seen, I truly believe Big B is at the upper echelon of that list. The world could never give him what he deserves, as he deserves everything. He's one of those rare individuals whose intellect & emotions are so connected to each other that you can just feel emotion right through the music. Every note is placed perfectly, that kind of thing. Above all, from everything I've seen from Big B ever, he just seems like an amazing person.
He singlehandedly got me into faster playing, even I can't quite do it yet myself.
Here's a quote from his website: "Another thing that I find troubling and can only imagine if I was a kid growing up in this day is the idea of putting things out to the world and getting comments and looking for validation in the world and having people being critical or making fun of. It’s a difficult thing to put yourself out there. And I do know a lot of great artists that are sensitive people and I’ve seen it more than a few times where they have the excitement, pure joy, they put something out and get made fun or criticized and for those types of feeling souls it’s devastating. It’s very hard to watch and the thing I would say to these individuals it to protect that joy, don’t let anyone define you. If you’re going to put yourself out there be prepared. Going back to your identity on the inside or outside, if your identity is strong on the inside you won’t be touched by criticism or being made fun of. It’s easy saying that, it’s very difficult to build that psychic armor, it takes a lot of work. But I do feel so strong about these souls that get hurt and makes them never want to do another thing. I’m one of those and I know it’s taken years and years and decades and I’m still very far from that armor being as strong as it needs to be. There’s a lot more to say about this and I just want to introduce the topic."
If reading that doesn't confirm that Big B is a one-in-a-billion person... I'm not quite sure what will. Seeing him live is like watching cosmic swirls spinning in the sky; it's truly a feeling from a different world. Should he ever see this for some reason, Big B, with all my heart: Thank you. For everything. ~Some random guitarist who wishes he could play like you.
bonus: here's a direct quote from me when showing someone who'd never seen Bucket a video
"...Right? He's the most unassuming guy. Ever. He comes out and it's like: 'oh this guy's gonna be a goofball' and then this. It's one of those things where youre just blown the fuck away. Cosmic waves circling around in the air just feeding power into the stoic faced machine, who's less than 100 feet in front of you, playing the best music you've ever heard in your life. That's Big B."
soooooo... Two albums this time. Not usually my quota but its alright!! I'm focusing more now on songwriting and practicing the art of melody (new album name) before the whole band gets together. Hopefully, in an idealistic world, we'd have our album out by the end of this year.
It's been downsized since I don't wanna cause a green day uno dos tres situation where we all burn ourselves out, ya smell me?
Joking terminology aside, I really want this to work. Music has always had a deep connection with me & it's fun to see how others live and breathe through it.
Liv, she writes more songs about being depressed and stuff which is cool, meanwhile I enjoy trying to tell stories moreso. I treat my writing as such did Lovecraft, loosely makes sense & often times nonsensical: but it makes you think...
Anywho, this is the music page not the blog. The New Ordinance is named after the Red Vox single "The New Flesh". I love the implications of that name and the meaning behind it are equally as interesting.
Thought it would be nice for a piano album finally, after having found a VST for one. I love piano a great deal, even if I often brush it off.
Also since I forgot to mention it in the last entry here: The album "Captain Hansen" is a tribute album to alaskan king crab fisherman of the same name. The songs are even titled using the names of the episodes from his docuseries!! Love Siggy, even if he's a bit goofy sometimes.
Anachranocon is named after a lore item in my D&D world. In the context of gameplay, the Anachranocon is a tome of inscriptions that once incanted cause several adverse effects to people near and far.
In case Liv, and her amazing wisdom, or Averie, or Kai- (jk he doesn't read my stuff) decide to read this, I don't want to spoil it... (Totally just haven't thought about it yet)
The song "Weeping City" isn't really based on anything but the last few lines are based on people suffering when tourists are invading their homeland, having to "Bear the viral iris".
The song cleverly named *ahem* ˢᶜʰᵉᵈᵘˡᵉ ¹ is a fan song based on the current ingame soundtrack. Love Tyler and his music is some of the best in modern game history; I find myself glam'ing out to "Adventures in Grassland", "Sand-Grown Sativa" & "That Longing Feeling" all the time!!
Now that you've found out the info I'm sure~ you've been longing for... see ya!! (^w^)
First: "Liberty: Presented" is an homage track to the game of a similar name, made by Wertpol.
I found it heartbreaking when he left us, especially since he was such a visionary. I got the urge to make a song for the game one day and decided what better way than provide a score to Markiplier's video.
I can only hope that through the sonic waves I've bundled into the 57 minutes of song there, that some part of it fits/sounds good. To sync: press play on Mark's video & the song at the same time, that should do the trick.
Second: "Chitin Harshell" is one of those albums where I heard a song and decided to bang out an album's worth of tracks in under two hours.
The song in question was "How I Made My Millions" by Radiohead, an absolute steamer that should've made it onto OK Computer.
Realistically, I know it doesn't fit but GAWD DAYUM was I shocked by how amazing it was.
Prior to listening, I said "A Wolf at the Door" was my favorite song by them but know I'm not so sure.
Anywho besties, I love beetles, specifically Prosopocoilus Giraffa. They're adorable & cute & sweet and I need one..
The album cover was drawn by our Guitarist Olivia, which I then changed the hue and quantized it.
That's about it... ciao!! ~ (w_w)zzz
Okay so I've put out a ton of stuff without updating here so from this point on I'll do these if I have something to say about them...
That being said I don't have much to update with, other than I have lore for one of my albums thanks to a certain gal named Rin.
Anywho, sorry for the silence!! ~ (-^w^-)
Discovered Pantera this month, absolutely in love with Dime's tone on - you guessed it! - floods.
I've gone through a few of my own tones; I keep coming back to distortion + chorus. Something about it just sounds "like me" - to me.
Whole album inspired by the aforementioned song + the bible I guess lmao
For this album, imagine a rainy, green bed of death and sorrow. Dead Cells style.
I must output more than 600 albums this year... ~ (-^w^-)
What can I say... 3.5 longest album of all time.
I never wanted to make some big, grand thing. Just wanted to make music...
So here it is. Probably the biggest accomplishment I'll have. I'm gonna start writing individual track meanings, though that'll take a while...
Recording started in June of this year, finishing on the day of the 25th. In that time: I started streaming, making videos, learned guitar, learned synth, the works.
Now I'm not saying I could do the most tracks on one album... AHEM. seth. That's right. The gay one. Somehow, Seth muthafuckin' Putnam has that record... I would feel kinda bad about taking the record from a dead guy, even if he wasn't a super decent person...
...2025, 8876.
Soon I shall rule the music world! (Or maybe not... Damn Bull of Heaven XD) ~ (-^w^-)
Last Morning; The Million Eyes Explosion was made after I heard the band Ghost & Pals. I like their one song Amygdala's Rag Doll...
...And so that's where this album was born. The tone of the guitar was achieved by putting a shifter pedal down with 10% mix, amp, delay, shifter up, 10%.
Rusted Corners, Twilight of Tulpar
This one is a very clear - and forward - tribute to the game Mouthwashing.
I played Mouthwashing for the first time a few days ago, it quickly becoming my favorite of all time.
I used to call Majora's Mask my absolute favorite and the pinnacle of game design... Not anymore.
I have not been moved by a game in such a long time that I didn't even have words at the end my playthrough.
I also discovered something: if you're a broke ass artist like me and can't afford a big synth to use in tandem with your DAW, in FL, if you click record EVERYTHING on that prompt...
You can actually get it to record what you're playing with your keyboard. One thing though, if using more than one instrument, make sure to make new pattern or it will copy over what you just recorded.
This one tells the story of a host being taken over by a parasite
This is loosely based on Back 4 Blood, though you can think of it else way
not a lot to say LMAOOO
Remember to take your pills..? ~
This one is supposed to sound like Icarus' journey through the sky, eventually falling...
It's also the first song with vocals from none other than your truly!!
Lyrics were completely improv and not super great, I don't like the first lines delivery...
Besides that, it turned out great!! I'm a huge fan of dirty, overdrived vocals that have to be read to understand.
I think I did a good job with the source material, the ending certainly reflects the fall, I think.
On to Ary Lulle Parnam
Don't exactly remember how I got that effect... That is my guitar, after all.
There's two more tracks using that effect; the songs title is gibberish
In my DnD world it means "The World Remains Infinite". Now, you wouldn't know that if you haven't played DnD with me but its all cool
It just kinda sounds like that place in Deepwoken when you die and face yourself. That's what the concept is
Album coming soon!!
Enjoy the music!! :3 ~
Gonna be honest, forgot I even made this track. Kinda hard to remember when there are nearly 400 songs, though.
I released it to the bandcamp as a first song just to get the customization moving + I feel it represents the coming album pretty well.
To be fair, the whole album is screeches and such, so is that song but not to the same extent.
Kinda sounds like silent hill to me, getting chased by pyramid head or something.
I'm kinda burnt out on music rn tbh... I got really into the groove when I learned I can't transition and just kept recording more and more
...Which lead to burnout. When you're recording almost 40 tracks a day, it gets pretty rough. Either way, there's the synopsis.
Keep being you!! :3 ~
