If you'd like to support what I do, simply listening to my music on streaming always helps! I also have this empty music channel I've been sitting on for literal years I'm trying to get up and running. Uh... Eventually... 😅 Take care everyone! 👋 (16/16) youtube.com/channel/UCCd...

Thanks for reading! I've been looking for the right opportunity to share this story until one landed in my lap in the form of Glitch Karts. Go play the game if you haven't already! Maybe play as Uzi in honor of this thread! I'm not your mom. lol (15/16) glitchproductions.store

I love this guy to absolute death, and I hope by now you love him too. Go give my buddy some love if you haven't already! AJ just released the full version of FOREVER along with a full music video he created himself in Blender. The man works hard! (14/16) youtu.be/s7wgU89y6b0

It's been fun showcasing our little Yuuki running gag, but this thread is actually just one big excuse to gush over AJ's work. Have you HEARD the music this man's been writing over the years? Dude inspires the heck out of me every day, and he's an amazing friend to boot. (13/16)

As far as I know, not even Glitch staff know the full Yuuki story at the time of this post. I know AJ at least showed @liamvickers.bsky.social there's a cat sample in Murder Drones (which I'm told he loves btw lol), but we've never really mentioned this wider context until now. (12/16)

If you've been a fan of Glitch for a long time, you've been secretly listening to my cat making assorted noises at you for years in the form of AJ's music. Wanna meet Yuuki? (11/16)

So when I was asked to compose the music for Glitch Karts, and Murder Drones was one of the main shows featured, of course I had to bring this whole thing full circle. Yuuki's my cat after all, so I made SURE he'd make it into the mashup AND the core game! (10/16)

You think I'm even close to running out of Murder Drones clips? Dude, I'm not messing around. Go revisit this show or it's soundtrack with these samples in mind. Legitimately, you almost can't go a minute without hearing my cat Yuuki in some form. It's genuinely absurd. (9/16)

With Murder Drones, AJ went kinda hog wild with the Yuuki samples. It ended up being one of the core pillars of this show's sound. You can spot Yuuki samples literally EVERYWHERE throughout the soundtrack. I'm not exaggerating. It's super frequent, yet always purposeful. (8/16)

I ended up sending AJ new samples for most new projects. I sent this file I named "Meows of Mild Anguish" with Murder Drones in mind. I was hugging Yuuki for a little too long, and he wanted down, so he let out the cutest meows. I was WHEEZING after this. 😂 Sweet baby. (7/16)

This one's a bit more subdued, but in Meta Runner Season 3, AJ wrote a new theme for Evelyn with the progression of her character, which again features my cat Yuuki, this time as this ambient synth layer. You'll hear this play in most of her scenes throughout the season. (6/16)

So anyway, Glitch's next show was Sunset Paradise, which featured a LITERAL CAT THEMED CHARACTER NAMED WHISK! The Yuuki gag was set in stone. How could it not be? The show LITERALLY called for it unknowingly. Do I even need to tell you where the samples are in this one? 😂 (5/16)

So there it was, a silly little easter egg of my cat meowing in the show. Nice and simple. AJ made some killer music, and I get to joke that my cat's in Meta Runner. That's the end of the thread everybody! Shorter than I expected actually. Thanks for stopping by! 👋 (4/16)

AJ then took that audio and incorporated it into his score. A big fight breaks out between Evelyn and Tari during this sequence, so AJ thought it'd be fun to attach the Yuuki sample to Evelyn's character as a subtle thematic element. Just a tiny splash of ear candy. (3/16)

This all started as a one-off joke when AJ was scoring the Hidden Heroes scenes in Meta Runner Season 2. We were in a call talking about something when my cat came meowing into the room. So on a whim, I went and picked up Yuuki, held him up to the mic, and recorded this: (2/16)

Send some love to all these composers! @ajdispirito.bsky.social, @gooseworx.bsky.social, Evan Alderete, @bucklandibus.bsky.social, Aaron Olson, Leland Cox. This mashup rest on their hard work, so I hopefully did their music justice. From one composer to another, this is my love letter to all of you!

Okay, but like there's also a playable video game with my music in it, so like go play it now????
