A little snippet of the latest track. Trying to get a bit more of a complex groove going, as opposed to the basic house drums I've been doing.

Sharing my experiences and my learnings while making my latest track.

I mainly focus on how I don't get stuck when making new music by not relying on "ideas".

I'm so glad I finally "finished" this track. It's been sitting there, in the back of my head, waiting to be mixed for the whole summer.

I've had a great time doing this one. Besides improving my skills, I think I learned a bit about what music I enjoy making, which is so important to me.

Just me coming up with some weird sound. Looking forward to finishing this track.

Something I am gonna try out and I am excited about! Having players in two different levels of the game, and incorporating metagame in a diegetic way.

You, as a player, are your players Ancestors!

Check it out!

Last week, I submitted my track for Redline's Monthly Composing Challenge. The challenge - make a track that never repeats the same chord progression - inspired me to make some orchestral music, which is something quite new to me. To make it more familiar, I added some sound design in my style.

Since there was a lot going on, I'm sharing here my process https://youtu.be/wDz-_LjNQFU

Some of the #Sketches I have been making for my #CavePaitings oracle for #PrimalQuest!
There will be around 100 of thesse for a cool #DieDropTable!

Last week the team I worked with managed to deliver the game for the #LowRezGameJam.

It was a nice experience, I worked with amazing people who did incredible things in a very short time. So I'm glad I managed to support them with the audio part.

This is the final result, if you want to play it https://zilonis123.itch.io/rift-blade

And here's how it sounds

Working on my #BonkWave submission and here is a #ShowYourWork snippet. This is the last third or so. Arrangement is more or less done, but this is unmixed, and unmastered so might sound rough . . .

Hey @c_gurra

These are the only two guitar bits I've put down so far. Both are using Guitar Rig 6, both are too quiet and too sloppy to use in a track. So I've lined up a ton of how to record guitar on Ableton tutorials.

Other track is in post after this one.

Edit: Slightly messed up bounce. It says the running time is 7:21 but it's actually just 3:20 mins. I must have extended the punch out bar by accident.

A new track I'm working on, so I thought I'd do the #ShowYourWork thing . . .

Moving on with my Chiptune learning, I decided to learn by doing, so I enrolled in the Lowrezgame jam, where you have to make a game with a resolution of 64x64.

So far I made a simple tune and some sound effects. I didn't keep in mind the #ShowYourWork while doing the sound design, so I lost some steps. Sorry about that.

Today, I started learning how to make Chiptune music. I think it's useful with dealing with games.

I had a lot to say about it, so I explained everything I learned and did in a video. https://youtu.be/tTgYkxPXbuc

But to summarize: musicians back in the days had really harsh limitations, which I actually see as a stimulus for creativity. So I will try to use it as an opportunity!

I made a house track, simply because I was listening to house. It doesn't match the weird stuff I usually do, but I'm releasing it for 3 reasons:

1) I always try to finish my stuff, so I increase my "track completion" experience.

2) There is weird stuff too. The spoken parts are random lines from a game + seagulls just because they look beautiful.

3) I want to improve my mixing skills, so every track is an opportunity.

Today my girlfriend had a day off, so I spent time with her and did not make any music 😀 (Well, I played the bass in the morning, getting ready to play with my friends on Wednesday)

Anyway, I found some time to write about the amazing experience I've had this week at the OST Composing Jam.

Take a read if you want! ❤️ https://diskoverymusic.wordpress.com/2023/07/28/ost-composing-jam-6/

Taking my lead from @c_gurra and using his "show your work" tag to preview a snippet from my latest track.

It's African themed, because the team at "Afrobeat Prodcuers" were handing out free loop samples.

Day 4 of the OST composing Jam. It's done!

I'm so happy. I've had a great time, did some cool stuff, talked to nice people and listened to their music.

In order to submit my project, I had to include proof that my work was original, in the form of a video of my DAW.

So I took the chance and said a couple words about what I did (you can tell I'm not used to this 😆 )

Day 2 of the OST composing Jam. The second entry is for the "Boss Level" of the game.

I think this is really my zone. I love making these hi-tempo, pressing tracks that make you feel like you're being hunted.
