Hi! I’ve just uploaded Roar, so here are some updates regarding my upload schedule and my albums, plus a link to a full preview of Guardia Millennial Fair down at the bottom:
So I’ve checked out the results of the survey, and it seems that the majority of you are interested in seeing more video game related content. Luckily for you, I just found out that Loudr is going to be defunct by the end of this year, so the cost of legally releasing an album has just increased significantly from $0 to ~$120. (I’m still looking at all of my options, but it’s looking like ~$120 is the least amount of money that I can expect to pay to release an album of cover songs.)
Seeing that I have no idea whether or not anyone is even going to buy these things, I’ve decided to do away with the Pop album for now and just focus my efforts on the Chrono Trigger album. ‘Cuz it makes a lot more sense to spend $120 releasing one album that potentially no one will buy than it does to spend $240 releasing two albums that potentially no one will buy. lol.
Also, I’ve hit two of my Patreon goals, so thanks for that! I should be receiving payment any day now, so I’ll order the mandolin that I need for Spiral Mountain as soon as I can. I really didn’t expect to hit $120 so quickly, so I might have to wait until next month to get the stuff that I need for Mining Melancholy. In the meantime, I’ve already finished Guardia Millennial Fair, and I’m currently in the middle of working on Peaceful Days, so you might end up seeing those before Spiral Mountain or Mining Melancholy (depends on how fast the mandolin gets here).
As I mentioned, I’ve already finished recording Guardia Millennial Fair, so here’s a full preview if you’d like to listen to it. I’ll be uploading the video for this to YouTube in two weeks:

That’s all for now! It’s unbelievable how much faster I’m able to work now that I don’t have to worry about spending too much money on equipment. I never really realized how much my lack of money was holding me back until now. So thank you once again for your contributions, I sincerely appreciate it!
