Been working on the studio website! Added a bunch of nice photos by Vitor Sá, a releases section, an FAQ page, and new audio samples.
I'm available for both in studio and remote projects, so get in touch if you want your music to sound really good for not much money!

Update: made said virtual instrument with Decent Sampler so it'll be lightweight and theoretically useable in all DAWs! Wound up being more straightforward than the Logic sampler for what I'm trying to do.
Shout out to @decentsamples.com for making such a neat and easy to use sampler!

Currently working on making a virtual instrument from drum samples taken here at the studio.
I've done this sort of thing before in the past but this time it'll sound better (probably) because I know what I'm doing (somewhat)

- Guy who sent a video of a headrush pedal he wants to trade for my guitar, lives 2 hours away
- Guy who called me ma’am, said “ASAP”, then ghosted

Okay hard mode is hard. Got stomped on a random battle against some birds. Made it past Dorter though!
The definitive edition of an all timer. The complex and addictive gameplay has been better explained, the story and characters resonate more than ever — both due to the state of the world and because of the new voice acting.
Time to restart on the new tactician difficulty with Japanese voices!
