This week instead of a relatively complete track, I have a messy raw recording of me coming up with a melody in real time. This file is called "Cool Chime thing" and it's apparently from March 2025. I don't really remember this but I'm inclined to agree with past self that it is in fact pretty cool

too many tracks!! I can't find things

This week is "Falling Action" from July 2020. The idea was that the piece starts out very intense and quickly reaches a climax, then the rest is just slowly winding down, which I think lends it a cool structure. Unfortunately it's too long for bsky so I had to leave out the last, most lowkey section

This is "Torsional Collapse" a little song I wrote last night. It's a bit rough but I really like it. I think I'm starting to form a idea of what the next album I write (which would be my 5th album) is going to be and this song is definitely on the shortlist for it

To make up for the fact that at (once again) forgot to post last week, here's a preview of another song from my next album. This is "Finite Automaton" from August 2024!!

To make up for the fact that I forgot to post a song last week, here's a preview of a song from my next album. This song is called "Out There".

I finished writing this album just over a year ago, before I'd even released Anxiety Odyssey. I'm excited to finally put it out soon!!... probably...

This week is "Life in the Void", a funky little tune I've been working on this month.

It's meant to loop seamlessly but the little pick up at the beginning makes it not really work in the video :( so I included two iterations of the loop

This is "Human?" from May 2020. I was in an undergrad dystopian sci-fi literature course and we had these weekly written prompts but if you didn't want to deal with that one week you could just make a piece of art abt the subject lol. So thats what this was

This week is "Cosmos Revolving" a weird, kinda messy little song I wrote last night.

This week is "Sleepy Time" from February 2023. Unfortunately the Ableton project file for this one is lost to time so you get this very small jpeg instead. It's about 50 seconds too long for bsky video so I had to cut out a bit at the beginning

sorry I forgot to post a song of the week last weekend

To make up for it, here's a preview of a song that's on my next album!! This is "Time Won't Stop For You" from April 2024. This album is comparatively a lot more chill than Lonely Night

This week is "Walkin' and Talkin'" from a few days ago. It's just a little thing I wrote to unwind after the stress of finalizing an album. Since I have to export it as a video file for bsky anyways I figured I'd try showing the Ableton playback

This week is "The Long Night" from January 2022. This was the first track I ever made with Ableton Live. I've since reworked this one into a song on my upcoming album Lonely Night. So please look forward to a much better version of this soon!!

This week is "Tale" from June 2025. I've been in a chiptune mood recently I guess.

hey so I was having a rough time these past few weeks and didn't post a song of the week for 2 weeks. I want to be a lot more consistent about this. 😰

So here's "Something, Anything" from January 2025.

This week is Burnt Out Star from September 2022. I really like this one, it's been under consideration for my albums multiple times but I've never found a place for it. It's a shame I can't include the full piece here. It's about 4 and a half minutes long.

Sorry for the delay (again)!! This week is "11 Seconds of Music" from 2017. In high school I was editing a video for a group project about Joseph Stalin and there was an 11 second clip that we didn't have any music for so I wrote this lol

Sorry for the delay, this week (last week) is "Time Bomb Set!!" from literally today. I had a lot of fun making this one.

This week is "Waking" from uh, probably like 2016-2017 idk. This is the entire piece.

This week is "Janky Factory Music" from May 2021. This piece is in 19 tone equal temperament where the octave is divided into 19 notes instead of 12. idk anything about 19TET music theory but I really like how it turned out
