June Update - Pico-8 Celeste, Masterclass and more!

Added 2019-06-03 15:03:28 +0000 UTC

Hello Patrons, hope you’re well!

Pico-8 Celeste Remake!?

Horaayy we’ve hit $200/month! Thank you, thank you! To celebrate, I’m considering remaking the Celeste OST in Pico-8. This will include all the sheet music, so it’s a big project, and will likely take a couple of months. But I think it’s doable : )

Next Masterclass

…is THIS Sunday, June 9th @ 10am-2pm EST.

Patrons get priority feedback - Do you have some Pico-8 music you’re working on? Questions about composition/theory? Do you play the piano and want feedback on your playing? I’ll be streaming, talking music, and playing around with Pico-8, MilkyTracker & the piano.

Jazz Piano Articles

I’m currently working on a big, 2000-word update to directional relationships. Expect to see that soon. I know the last few articles have been very pedagogical, and not necessarily relevant to everyday practice. Admittedly, writing these have been more of a grind than I anticipated. But these thoughts are helping me establish a foundation and a language for eventually writing more practical exercises.

If you’re reading these articles, and wondering how to connect these ideas to your piano practice, I’m often streaming my own practice sessions (Monday-Friday 1:00-4:00(ish) EST). I’d be happy to demonstrate. I’m also always open to feedback; help me make these articles better!

MilkyTracker Volume Tutorials

In case you missed them, I released about 60mins of MilkyTracker tutorials just on volume controls and effects:

The next group of tutorials will focus on panning controls and effects. Looking at my schedule though, and depending on the Celeste remake, I may have to delay these until July or August.
