Week 3 of posting a track! My goal for this piece was to try and create an electronic track with a lot of automation. Turns out that is a lot of fun!

It's #bandcampfriday? That's convenient I just released this EP last week.
Do you like acts such as Radiohead or the Beatles? They are some of the major influences on this EP's sound.
It's about 15 minutes long and is only $5.99 to support an indie artist!

Last week I participated in Global Game Jawn, a 48 hour Game Jam that took place in Philadelphia. Together with two other awesome people we made Jewel Heist.
I composed the music and did some sound design work as well. This is one of the tracks:

My local radio station put on a 24 Hour Song Challenge and I participated!
I wrote all the music and played every instrument. My friend Dylan produced and did audio engineering. The result: a psychedelic bedroom pop-esque song!

Do you like Pokémon and piano music?
Here's my cover of "Gate" from Pokémon Black & White! This is one of my favorite lesser known tracks.
This cover was done as part of a larger collab album called VGM Pianists. It's 36 tracks of Pokémon piano!

When I was younger, I used to make "revamps" of older Pokémon sprites from Gen 1/2 into the style of Gens 3/4/5.
Decided to try again with Clefairy from Pokemon Silver! I'm more of a composer than a pixel artist but I have fun making these.
Have you made a "revamp" before? #pokemon #pixelart
