I don't know who out there has listened to my Rude Otters album over 35 times in the past 7-days on Spotify, but I appreciate you very much! Pepperoni Joe in ASCII Land is almost finished being written, so I'll be in the trenches mixing that soon; hoping to have it release ready ASAP!

During my music production stream today, at some point I apparently accidentally deleted the second guitar solo in my song. Thankfully, I had synced all my projects to my Unraid Server the day prior, so I had a version that still had it! Moral of the story: Back your shit up, and often!

I'm participating in my first ever raid train this Sunday! I intend to put my best foot forward, and focus on electric guitar (both rhythm and lead) in a recording and performance context. I'll be composing some material tomorrow specifically for this event!

Today I finished the bones for the five tracks on Pepperoni Joe in ASCII Land! Now I can begin my second pass of all the tracks, where I go on a maximalist composition rampage. I'm particularly excited about the last song, which clocks in at 14:40 long! Progressive rock roots never die.

Today I celebrate the start of my 38th revolution around the sun! 37 was a good year for me, and I hope 38 is even better! Everyone can look forward to more music output from me, both Saint Coelacanth and singer-songwriter! I'm definitely a late bloomer.

It took a shock to my system to clear it out, but in the process I learned what ADHD emotional dysregulation is. I don't know how long I've been numb for, but I truly feel again for the first time in a very long time! Now I need to educate and better myself so it doesn't happen to me again.

Hey guy, I'm unsure when I'll be streaming next. My schizoaffective disorder is flaring up, so I'm going through a really bad mental health period right now. I miss streaming a lot, and I miss making music, but I need this emotional storm to pass first. I'll be back when I feel like myself again.

Last year during GMTK 2025, I managed to sneak within the Top 500 for audio. It was a big mark of pride for me, and helped to foster the confidence I needed to continue working in the soundtrack space. Sadly, the same can't be said for GMTK 2026; I scored over 10x worse. My confidence is shattered.

My friend SirLegna and I participated in the GMTK 2026 Game Jam! We made Numerous, a puzzle game where you have to balance timers falling at different rates. I made the soundtrack, and photobashed some visuals for it! If you do check it out, please leave a rating, it helps a bunch!

I've been hard at work the past month on my next album, Rude Otters! On this album I explore a lot of duelling guitar rhythms, punctuated by my maximalist composition style. I'm very proud of this album, and I hope my listeners enjoy it! Here is a teaser! youtu.be/dqgNLavtdj4

I'm currently rendering and exporting stems for Rude Otters! If I keep pace, I should be in the thick of mixing this album tomorrow afternoon or evening. Wish me luck!

It's been a month now since Calcium & Turtlenecks was released! By my standards, this has performed incredibly well! This was a challenging album to create, and was overly ambitious in a lot of ways. I'm glad however that I've created something that listeners seem to legitimately enjoy!

Work on my next album, Rude Otters, has been progressing steadily! I have one more song to compose for, and then I can begin mixing the album. Today I photobashed some album art together for it! This is a small section of the full album art, to serve as a little teaser of what is to come:

I'm very excited to announce that I have been accepted into the Twitch Music Creator's Club! This is very surreal news to me!

My latest album, Calcium & Turtlenecks, is at over 200 streams on Spotify! This is incredible news for me, as I'm an unknown artist with minimal social media presence and laughable self-promotion skills.

2/2 I'll likely always be an eccentric, obscure and niche creator because of my love of auditory maximalism, but other people liking my music is a bonus!

1/2 I focus on composing music that I've always wanted to hear myself. I adore blending multiple different rhythms together at the same time, and creating a melodic assault on the senses (minimalism is a concept I only employ when asked to for commissions or soundtrack work).

It's been quite awhile since I've released a proper Saint Coelacanth album! This one was quite ambitious, so it took awhile to get it out the door.

Back in November, I released Lady Disrepair, an album containing songs I obsessed over completing for over 10 years. I hate to admit it, but the original release was in, well, disrepair! My newly remixed version of the album just hit Spotify. It sounds much better now!

I've been streaming on Twitch now since late 2023, focusing almost entirely on music production content. It's been a long journey, but I can proudly say that I am now a Twitch Affiliate!

I've been cooking up a new singer-songwriter album! It will be my first release of this type since Planck Scale Minotaur back in December. I've been working on these songs for many, many years, so I am thrilled to finally have them recorded!

The soundtrack I made for Exposure Appalachia is now live on Spotify! open.spotify.com/album/6hPceM...

Solipsists of Caramel Hearts is the final song of Gluten-Free Gnosticism! Technically, it was also the first song I started working on for the album, but it had album closer energy from the start.

Casual Antiferromagnetism was a fun song to do! I used a lot of WaveFrame, CMI, and Synclavier sounds.
