Here is me, personally, playing guitar, if you will, at my most rescent residence that I was literally unlawfully evicted from, this is music that I created, personally, and that I continue to refine. My music, and only a gleaning of such, if you will.

Honestly super proud of this and I think it's something I want to make one of my niches. I have the tools to take instruments from retro games and use them as references to make my own music.

Going live with Delverium. It looks like a mix of a farming sim and a dungeon crawler. I'm so excited to give it a shot. Thank you, Lurkit, for the key.

I think I might have to reupload because the intro sounds glitched, but here's the song I polished up yesterday. I'm really pleased with it, and I can't wait to make more.

Sharing a few lines from “Imani / Faith”, a song from my 2001 album “Free Dome”. I’ve been making music my whole life! All of my songs are available wherever you stream music under Naila Keleta-Mae. #BlackMusician

Going live with music. Trying to get my homework finished up today. Gonna try out new things I learned, so I will probably be going for a while. It should be a chill stream~

Going live with music again. In the final stretch, so I've gotta finish this assignment today. I will be fiddling around with Dolby Atmos again with binaural listening.

Going live with another late night composition stream. It's going to be low energy and chill, so if that's your vibe, feel free to swing on by.

Going live with music today. It's something a little different because I'm creating something for a fake commercial. I haven't composed anything in a bit, so I'm excited.

Going live with music. Trying to get as much done for my first draft as possible. The teacher wants me to add a vibrophone, so I will do that. There will be vocals and possibly trumpet recording~

Going live with music homework. I'm going to be fixing previous assignments and working on this month's final assignments. I'm also going to be recording stuff. It's going to be a relatively chill night so come hang out.

The best way to figure something out is to try it I suppose. I'm going live with my music homework and then I'm probably going to revisit a project if I have enough time.
