As much as I love how the arrangement came out, my greatest accomplishment is if I managed to help get more people to watch the show haha

Fantastic arrangement from Jeff! I started watching the show after recording this, now I'm addicted! I'm happy I could play tuba with all these wonderful musicians!❤️

When I am really into something, I get this overwhelming passion energy that I just need an outlet for. After watching the show and reading some of the light novels, I just had to do an arrangement of some Apothecary Diaries music. I literally just love it so much, I needed to.

I played on this cover of music from Apothecary Diaries, an anime I've really fallen in love with! There's no video of me so you just have to trust that I'm there among my fellow flute friends ♥️ I'm so glad I got to be part of this, like a welcome-back to VGM after my surgery!

I really hope you like it, and that I was able to do the amazing series at least a little bit of justice.

And of course a huge thank you to everyone who made this arrangement happen. They are all wonderful so please go check them out!

It was also the most people I have had on a single track I've made! Definitely took a lot of extra effort, planning, coordination, and mixing. For such a short track, it was absolutely so much work. but in the end, I'm so happy with how it turned out.

Jeff Penny @jeffpennyaudio.bsky.social · 14h

This was also my first time doing a wind ensemble arrangement! Being a band kid for so much of my life, it felt really special getting to go back to this instrumentation. It was also a great excuse to get as many wonderful musicians involved as I could. Just made the whole thing more special to me.

My Apothecary Diaries cover is out tomorrow, so I wanted to take a moment to share the incredible art by @camberdraws.bsky.social! Honestly, getting to see their work is one of my favorite parts of all of the releases I do. They are so great at capturing what I am trying to express with my music.

Album artwork that reads "The Girl of Apothecary". It features a hand holding a hairpin in front of plant life

Yeah for sure! Its good to know that a lot are fine. I can look up individual ones before buying them. But I just wanted to make sure that I wouldn't get a steam deck and then find out it can't run most of them or something

Jeff Penny @jeffpennyaudio.bsky.social · 2d

Ohhh that's good to know. I've heard there can be compatability issues and when they do run, the font size can be a problem

Jeff Penny @jeffpennyaudio.bsky.social · 2d

Does anyone have any experience with visual novels on a steamdeck? There are so many I want to try, but I'm Mac only.

I love that over my years on the internet I've come across multiple roadside attractions across the US that are just a bunch of toilets
