Not an April Fools joke

Hey everyone! Between all of the excitement with MAGFest, hospitals, and my upcoming performance at 2016-03-31 22:52:16 +0000 UTC View Post

Some Minor Housekeeping....

Yo! Patreon is changing the layout of creator pages in about a week. I've already updated the description on my Patreon page, and I am now working on updating the tiers. Please know that nothing is changing. I may clean a few things up in the name of brevity, but you can expect the same great reward...

"Real" Sega Genesis / Megadrive EDM album hits Bandcamp

Pardon the generic title, I am hoping to both inform my existing Patrons and reach non-Patrons (future Patrons?) with this one....

"Where's My Mommy?" is out NOW, featuring my music!

Hey friends, family, followers, patrons, and fellow poopers!

I wrote a soundtrack to a game about poop, and that game is here:

New Sega Genesis / MegaDrive album release imminent

Hey everyone, thanks for supporting me this month. 

On March 1, "Where's My Mommy?" will release, and if you pop over to http://store.steampowered.com/app/423610/ you'll see that the soundtrack is avail...

Talk to me about cartridges

I've pretty much decided: This upcoming WMM soundtrack is going to be released as DLC for the game and also on Bandcamp/Loudr/iTunes/Google/Amazon/Spotify/etc, but there's another plan brewing... That plan is to produce a Sega Genesis (or Megadrive as the case may be) cartridge that will play in a r...

Turtleneck delivery complete!

Hey all, thanks for supporting on Patreon! Everyone should now have a download code for Turtlenecks, check your messages if you don't!

Things are crazy over here, so $1 Patrons have their tracks early! Bonus! I really needed to do all the code-sending at once today. I'm so very close to b...

Turtlenecks, aka Right Said Benny Benassi

The poop game is almost out! Maybe you say that every time you need to do a #2, but the more time I spend typing this description and the less time I spend on pooping out these tracks for the game, the more stressed I (and the studio in charge of the game) will be. Therefore, I give you this sample ...

Retrocovered. Revised. Revisited. Re-recorded. Re2rocovered.

What's up, Patrons?

I wanna tell you about Retrocovered. Many moons ago, I released my first album, The Midnight Chiptunes, which is now free on my Bandcamp thanks to you! While working on th...

Do you have Retrocovered?

Hey everyone!

I'd like to share my album Retrocovered with you. And if you're a Patron, I'd like you to have it as pledge material. This would commemorate its release across iTunes, Spotify, Amazon, Google Play, etc.

That said, I'd also like your input. This is an already-re...

Youtube Music launched today. Still no music royalties.

Why do people listen to music on Youtube?

I recently asked this question on social media and got a variety of responses. There are an increasing number of people that report youtube is not blocked and other streaming sites are. Also, it's definitely true that almost anytime you search for a so...

Here's a sample of "Pinch it Off"

I'm trying to further evolve my Sega FM work as I hope you can hear. =] This track, like the others I'm doing for "Where's My Mommy?" is done on a single Sega Genesis / Mega Drive.

The download code will arrive in your Patreon inboxes when pledges process. Please feel free to share the Sou...

Next "Where's My Mommy?" track drops tomorrow, preview tonight

Hey Patrons,

Tonight, DJ Astov, who spins at http://eve-radio.com/ will be spinning my next track for the game "Where's My Mommy?", which I've titled "Pinch It Off". His set is generally very beat-centric and he goes live at 11...

Monthly vs Per-creation? Rewards?

Hey all. Do you like the way things are currently set up here? I've been asked on a few occasions why my campaign isn't monthly. To tell the truth, I've considered switching to that model because I see the current trend moving that way (and it would certainly help me complete more) but I still worry...

Where's My Mommy - a cartoony poopy runner game

Ladies and gents, I'm excited and jittery. I've overloaded my responsibilities once again and I will be writing an album worth of Sega Genesis music for the indie game "Where's My Mommy?" The game is currently on Steam Greenlight and needs your votes. Please hit 2015-09-17 18:41:55 +0000 UTC View Post

How to use a Sega Genesis to explain Adult Life

All my Patrons should now have download codes to this track, which is apparently... what's the vernacular... "blowing up the spot" (am I showing my age yet?)!

"My Adult Life" is currently getting 20 times the plays of any of my other tracks and over half of the plays of any of my...

Sega Genestep? Elevator Drive? MegaDrum?

Something is happening, and I'm not quite sure what it is. All I know is that it's some combination of EDM (That's Elevator Dance Music for the uninitiated), four-operator FM bass wobbles, square waves, and headbob jams. It'll be a SONIC (oh no, puns!) experience!

Mystic Searches on The Goldbergs TOMORROW

Hey everyone, I have some pretty big news: In just a little over 25 hours the next episode of The Goldbergs is airing on ABC, and "the New 8-bit Heroes" project Mystic Searches will get what I am told to be a reasonably prominent display on the show. Why is this a big deal? Because I'm the one that...

We passed $256! Thank you!

Hey! I'm typing this from a phone so forgive me for being quick, but I wanted to thank everyone for helping me achieve my $256 goal. As soon as I take care of some other responsibilities, I will begin working on some more LED effects to make shows pop. I've also added a few more milestone goals - pl...

New EP listening party in a week?

Hey Patrons! I'd like to have a listening party for the new EP, and I want to include everyone either via twitch or maybe a group hangout. Right now I can do it on the 15th of April, which is Wednesday, sometime after 7pm eastern standard time. So, my questions are: - Who can make it / Who can't? ...

This month: A slightly big thing

Boy, I sure know how to wow the crowds with subject lines! But seriously? Get excited: This month is bringing us a 3- or 4-track tribute EP of another major act. Can't say who yet; trying to mitigate any fallout in advance... I will say the first track is already done and it's sounding great. The...

C64est with ColorChord visuals on LED grid

Here it is! In this video you can see my (Patron-supported) track, C64est, playing, with visuals running on the LEDs. We need to make the LEDs do more things, but this is a great start. Please help spread the video and this Patreon if you have a minute, I'd really like to reach the milestone where ...

Jan 2015 Patron-supported content

Boring title, I know - I just typed up a huge long post and it vanished (twice!) so I'm now typing the abridged version. =] I've been hard at work getting my video-fu up to par, in multiple ways: 1) The video I posted earlier this month uses something called ColorChord. Charles has been hard at wo...

New visuals: Check out this video

So hey! I recently monetized my YouTube channel after receiving a resounding "DO IT" and I made a resolution to try and pay more attention to it. This is a part of that. In that vein, I've been testing out some cool music visual ideas with my buddy Charles and providing feedback, and I wanted to s...

Happy December 2014

Hey Patrons! I just wanted to wish everyone a happy holiday season, no matter what you celebrate! If anyone's interested, I've lowered prices on Chiplust, Chipping of Isaac, and P8M downloads on bandcamp; I also reactivated the FINISHP8M code if you want to get a P8M poster at cost. Thanks for al...

Rescue? More like NEScue, amirite?

Hi Patrons! Recently dropping on the unsuspecting masses alongside my Dungeonmans Demakes is a remix for Beatscribe's Starship Rubicon OST. This game recently got a re-release and is worth a look, and the soundtrack has an interesting blend of chipsounds and beats. If you're in a hurry but still ...

more exciting developments with the $256 milestone

Hey Patrons! I spent some time away from home this weekend and my buddy Charles managed to get some things working really well on my LED display. He made a tech video explaining how he pulled it off on cheap hardware that even I could afford: 2014-12-16 09:26:48 +0000 UTC View Post

The Chipping of Isaac Hits Bandcamp

Hey Patrons! I just finished uploading this to Bandcamp, and you can listen to it in full over there or right here. At last, you'll know what I've been so busy with! Patrons at $4 and up will receive a download code for it at the beginning of December of course. If you can help spread the word abo...

Oct 2014 Wrapup

Ladies and gents, thanks so much for being a patron! I say thanks a lot — maybe it's getting old — but it's because I really do appreciate you staying on-board with me. This is a slightly-crazy end of the month for me. Here's what's going on: 1. I've got those Dungeonmans tracks going up on ban...
