I legitimately believe Newgrounds has some of the best songwriters, musicians, artists and game developers on the planet.

Hey guys !
I haven't made a blog post in a while !
I wanted to thank everyone for the many comments, likes and downloads, it's honestly an amazing feeling seeing your creation(s) being appreciated by people worldwide on the internet, it's a wonderful thing.
As for my latest project "4/4 In Paradise", I don't know if I struck algorithmic gold, but the song "Sure&Pure" is kind of popping off, and despite almost being left off the project, my friend suggested me to keep it at the last minute, and here we are now =]
It's a new sound inspired by reggae, soul, calypso and downtempo/trip-hop, and in retrospect it really does work well.
Now let's talk about future projects :
"Reverb" is yet to have a release date, as there's still a missing track (I keep thinking the placeholder track is final) and we're a bit in a dry spell in terms of inspiration right now...x[
But the general theme remains the same : nostalgia, uncertain futures, lost in music, vast nothingness etc.
"Reverb" is a general mish-mash of genres, I can't really describe it, I'd say it's closer to Pink Floyd's "The Wall" than anything we've ever made.
Thank you and until next time !

[ ▶︎ Frequency Modulation Compilation 2 | burner (bandcamp.com) ]
Made entirely on Renoise with an authentic Sega Genesis soundfont =]
Mixed & mastered on FL Studio 20 with Ozone 9 (to give a warmer polish).
Tell me your favorite track !

The last release seems to have been well received and it's been almost two years, so I think it's grand time to come out with a project again !
The tracks are usually exercices when I come up with melodies or interesting chord progressions, so I feel like compiling them against like last time (if you've missed it, it's exclusively on sale only on bandcamp right here).
I took a lot of creative liberties for this one, including mixing & mastering.
This is for the old-school computer music lovers, I'm taking you on a trip back to the early 90s !
(The tracks that I uploaded recently are part of the album, they're a sample of what's to come)

AMA + Roadmap post
As you've seen, Azimuth is already out, that leaves us with three projects left to work with.
Hardest task so far has been "Reverb", the scope is gigantic. It's as if all my previous projects got merged into one, the sound design, the songwriting, it's quite overwhelming which is why I haven't set a release date yet, could be by the end of the year, could be next year, who knows ? Just know that the songs are fleshed out and the vibe is just like the cover : gloomy, emotional, bittersweet and made up of pent-up rage. The budget has also been big.
Now for the questions !

Hey guys !
What's up ?
I've been quite busy with work lately, but it didn't stop me from writing song ideas and getting to flesh them out at home.
"Fastlife" is dropping at the end of the month, a breakbeat and house-heavy album, with a throwback to early 90s Rave.
It actually follows a storyline, I'll let you imagine the whole scenario !
Thanks for riding with me !

After a good rest I've decided to return a month early.
To my surprise my song "KINEMATICS" has hit 15k streams on Spotify, putting me at 3.8k monthly listeners. I have no idea why nor how, but I'm super happy !
I'll be releasing "FASTLIFE" on March 30th 2023, it's gonna sound how the album cover looks, fast paced, aggressive and earth shattering. The album is 99% complete and let me tell you, it will make your speakers explode, an ambitious combination of multiple genres across electronic music history.
For now, I've released "Clutch Release", a single off the album to give you a sample of how it sounds =]
