Happy Friday Party Members!
It dawned on me the other day. I've never really done any kind of a "Farm" tune for you guys. It seems like such an obvious choice now, but the idea eluded me for well over a year surprisingly! Oddly enough, this ended up being one of the more difficult tunes for me to write.

Hey Party Members! Hope you had a great weekend!
Yesterday when I started writing this tune, I had nothing in mind. No theme, no requirements to meet, so I started off my session by looking for some inspiration. After listening to some tracks from "Tales of Phantasia," I found some inspiration that offered me a jumping...

A few days ago, Daniel the Warrior had a request in the suggestion box, asking if I had any songs that would work well for a town that was down on it's luck. While I did find something for him along those lines, I thought that would be a great basis for today's video. The track turned out we...
Hey Party Members! Hope you had a great weekend.
The other day I was organizing my music projects folder, prepping everything for a backup. Part of this process is opening up old files and asking myself, "When the heck did I write this?" Then proceeding to wonder why I abandoned said tune. Well it was no different the o...

For today's song/video I thought I would kick things back to Frizbee and his crew. Their initial plot to find the director failed, so they've had to take a step back and plan for the next attack.
That being said, the scene called for an ominous, brooding and suspenseful tune. This...

Hey Party Members!
Todays song is a fun one! It's a bit different than what I usually post, but I think that's a good thing in this case. This tune will work well for jungly forests, dark mazes, underground caverns etc. Heck, you could even throw it in some futuristic industrial level and I'd bet it would still work!

Things have been so heavy the past few weeks, I decided that today's episode would be a lighthearted one, just like my older videos. Nothing too serious or super vital to the plot, just some silly fun.
I've also been experimenting with some new 16 bit instruments recently, and I think ...

Hey Party Members!
Today's song is very much inspired by "Secret of the Forest,' a classic tune from the legendary SNES RPG "Chrono Trigger." The game is still highly regarded today as one of the greatest games of all time, and considering the super group that was the game, it's no surprise. (Seriously though, if you ha...

As I mentioned in Tuesdays post, I've officially been on Youtube for over a year now. So I thought this week I would do a bit of a look back at a couple of fun moments from this past year, while also continuing the story line I've fallen into.
Really happy with how this song turned out....

Happy Tuesday Party Members! Hope you are doing well.
Last week, my Youtube channel celebrated it's one year anniversary. I had been kicking around the idea of doing something special for it, but truth be told, the date kind of snuck up on me. (Oops!)
It's hard to believe I've been releasing at least one song a w...

It's been a few episodes since we had seen Frizbee and his gang, so I thought today we could shine some focus on them again. In case you missed it, he is currently looking for "The Director" to find out why he wasn't used in any videos for over 3 months. To make matters worse, in his absence...
Hey Party Members!
As you know, I've been posting 2 new songs every week since the beginning of this year, one on Tuesday and one on Friday. What you may not know is that usually I write these songs the week they are posted; Tuesday's song is written on Monday, and Friday's song is written on Wednesday (with the accompa...

So in case you missed it, I released a minigame tune for my Warriors and Mages this past Tuesday. It was a suggestion from Daniel (Warrior) that I thought was a great idea. In fact, it was such a great idea that I decided to do another minigame tune for today's entry.
For the vid...

So one of our top warriors Daniel had a great suggestion for me the other day. He asked if I had anything that would work well for a minigame, and if I didn't asked if I could write something. Honestly, I'm surprised I didn't think of doing a minigame theme sooner!
Since he was reques...

I really wasn't sure what kind of tune to write this week, so I did what I normally do: play a bunch of random things until something catches my ear! It didn't take long for the first few notes of this tune to pop out, and boom! I was on my way.
What came out actually worked well with...

It's been a while since I've done any kind of village music, so I thought I would remedy that. This actually started off as more of a cutscene tune, with just the simple guitar and oboe/flute lines, but I felt the song was a bit too empty. So I added some strings to it and boom. It's sudden...
Happy Friday Party Members!
Got a fun little tune for you today...and by fun I mean a panic inducing song for tense scenes.
I knew where I wanted the story to go this week, so I just had to write a tune around that idea. Fortunately, as I was writing it, I thought it could also work as some battle music as ...

Hey Party Members!
So after releasing 2 "Spooky" songs last week, I thought I would lighten the mood a little bit today. :D
I've been listening to the Octopath Traveler OST a bit in my off time, and I wanted to do something inspired by that, but with my own style mixed in there. Hopefully I pulled that off OK!

Well we've had 3 episodes in a row of the party investigating at the Ancient Library, so this week I thought we would take a peek at what Frizbee and his gang were up to. They are still stuck in the forest, as per usual, although the atmosphere is a bit different than when we last saw him. 2021-07-16 14:10:01 +0000 UTC View Post

Recently I've been getting into horror games/videos a bit. They usually aren't something I partake in regularly, just once in a blue moon. But as of late I've been venturing over to the "scary side" of Youtube and diving down rabbit holes. Perhaps I'm getting bored with the stuff I normally...

At the request of our resident Mage, Kylo Lin, I've got another battle tune for you today!
I think I will probably doing these a bit more frequently as the battle music seems to be some of my most popular stuff. In fact, my first video (which was the battle bundle) has officially crossed ...
Hey Party Members!
So for today's song, I wrote something that was suggested by Daniel (AKA UPRC). He mentioned in the suggestion box channel on discord (hint hint, wink wink) that I should do a music box theme for cutesy/emotional scenes.
I thought this was a great idea (and Celestrium agreed!) so viola! T...

Today's video picks up right where we left off last week, which makes it the first official 2 parter on my channel. Not sure how effective it is, but I thought I would try it out! If the sepia tone doesn't give it away, this video/song is all about the flashbacks; a little exposition to expl...

When I was younger, I would always get super hyped when a game had an epic opening cutscene. Final Fantasy VI in particular, really did a great job in this department.
These opening cutscenes were great for introducing the world players were about to jump in to, setting up character relationsh...

Today's scene is what I had initially planned for last week. At the last minute though I realized that I basically wasn't ready.
Was I ready this week? Not entirely, but I did it anyway!
This Library scene will be part 1 of a 2, maybe even 3 part sequence where the team gets qui...

So like most people, I often find inspiration in other peoples creations, whether it is music, literature or art. Often my songs start off with me trying to mimic something I really enjoy. I'm not too shy to admit that. When you have an upload schedule like mine a lot of times it's necessary to get s...

So for today's song and video, I had something completely different planned. Well, same song, different scene. But as I started working on it, I just couldn't get into a good groove. The scene and the music just weren't vibing like I thought they would.
So, I did what any sane person wo...

So yesterday was one of those days where I wrote most of a tune in the morning, and just wasn't feeling it. It happens every so often. There are still some good ideas there, but it really needs more time in the oven before it gets released.
Thankfully I had another song ready to go, sitting in ...

So I had to continue the Island theme from Tuesday, it's just where my mind was at this week. There are a bit more jazzy elements worked into this one than I normally do, but I think it worked well for the song. Frankly, of the 3 or 4 beach tunes I have done this past year, this may be my fa...
Hey Party Members! It's Tuesday, you know what that means!
So this past week I was fortunate enough to be invited to the beach by my sister and brother in law. That probably means nothing to you, but I hadn't seen the ocean in over 20 years. It was a much needed getaway, and I had a blast. I'm super blessed and thankfu...
