"Mushroom Hill Zone" Lofi Remix

I am continuing to go fast in terms of getting out new music. The song itself has of course been slowed down to a crawl. Really excited that I've been focused enough to get a new song out two weeks in a row now, and I'm hoping to continue this streak to three (or four?) weeks. I'll be churning out more lofi while I wait for Klaymore collaborations to get their materials to me, and then it's back to some metal.

This song will be available for download to all $3-tier patrons and higher i...

NOW LIVE - Patrons Only Stream - Creating Lofi

I'll be live in a few minutes tackling the task of creating a lofi remix of a song from Bloodborne. This was suggested by one of our patrons, so come watch me make it happen!

ARCHIVE UPLOAD - "We Are the Swarm" (Demo)

This week's Archive Upload is from the long ago time of 2015-2017. I wrote these melodies and riffs over the course of a few years and then never came back to them. Originally the opening melody was written as a joke and had lyrics to go with it that were about drinking Faygo and the song was called "Mist of the Moon." This all started because Dan bought our old drummer a Faygo and then told him it would turn him gay after he drank it and he seemed legitimately nervous about it. I guess the r...

Patrons Only Live Stream - 6/27/21

Hey, everyone! This month's patrons only live stream will be this Sunday the 27th at 9pm EST. I'm going to attempt something we've never tried before. Esteemed patron BigDun suggested I do a Bloodborne remix and suggested a specific song, so I'm going to dive into it during this month's live stream and see how far into a lofi remix I can get in our normal two hour time slot. Be there on Sunday to watch the magic (or frustration) unfold, and see how I make a lofi remix from the very beginning....

"Chao Garden" [Lofi Remix] - Factory Flora

I had a MIGHTY NEED to do a remix of more Sonic music and what better choice than the chill vibes of the Chao Garden. Shout out to my friends for lending their voices as samples throughout the track.

This song will be available to all $3-tier patrons and higher in my next post and will eventually be available on Spotify. Thank you all for the continued support, and stay Scary

Lofi Preview Clip - "Chao Garden"

Hey, everyone! I got inspired to make some more lofi when I checked our streaming numbers and saw that Factory Flora actually now gets as much attention as Klaymore. After going hard at metal for a few months, I needed to switch gears into something more mellow. I'm hoping to get the final version of this out next week onto YouTube and then onto Spotify a little later. Until then, enjoy this preview clip of the Chao Garden theme from Sonic Adventure 2!

Behind the Scenes - "Hyrule Market / Litposting"

Hey everyone, we always end up with a bunch of footage in between takes for videos that doesn't make it as the outro screen, so here's a collection of it filmed during Hyrule Market and the Lit video. Now you can see what fueled these videos other than discussion of thicc hippos.

I should have a song preview coming this week, a song release next week, and a song release the week after that. It has been a whirlwind of a time, so thank you all again for your support as I make maybe the m...

"Hyrule Market" - Metal Cover

Hey, everyone! I'm back this week with an exceptionally nostalgic cover: "Hyrule Market" from Ocarina of Time. Zelda songs were some of the first vgm I learned on guitar, but I've only put one on YouTube before this because it's such a saturated market, no pun intended. This one took me a little longer to put out than I anticipated because I accidentally made it too fast and had to actually practice to be able to record it. I'm sure I will not learn a lesson from this and make that mistake ag...

"Hyrule Market" Preview - Weekly Update 6/1/21

Hey, everyone! This week I have a preview of my cover of "Market" from Ocarina of Time. The full video will be out on June 9th, and the audio will be on Spotify at some point after that because the distributor sent my submission back and delayed it by 8+ days because I said the name of the song was "Hyrule Market" and not "Market." Very cool and not at all frustrating at all!

This track was mixed by my friend and all around reasonable dude, Aaron Willis, who also mastered Cash Mirror W...

Now Live! - Working on New Material

We'll be live in 5(ish minutes). Come hang out and see what I've been working on!

Patrons Only Live Stream Announcement - May 30th

Hey everyone, I'm hella late announcing this on Patreon, but I posted it in the discord server the other day: our monthly live stream will be on Sunday May 30th at 9pm EST. If my computer and internet will flex hard enough for me, I'm going to try editing one of the videos Alex and I filmed this month, and if that doesn't work out I'll be working on new music. Either way I'll see you guys Sunday night!

Weekly Update - 5/24/21 "Nightrain" Mix Preview

Hey, everyone! Over the last two weeks Dan and I have been putting together a cover of Nightrain by Guns n Roses (sorry, Dad) and now that guitar, bass, and drums are all done for it I figured I'd share a clip of it. These are still my demo vocals and more needs adjusted, but everything else is the final recording. I have a ton of content that's almost done and I'm hoping to start dropping something every 2-3 weeks. I had two outside engineers work on mixes for songs which has been made possi...

"The Most LIT 90s Guitar Riff" - New Video

Hey, everyone! The video I planned to drop this month was delayed, but I wanted to put something out so that there wasn't a two month gap between uploads. A lot of my future content hinges on other people right now, which is great because it takes some of the work off of me and I get to work with a bunch of talented people, but it also adds time to the creative process. The good news is that I should be getting my next cover back from being mixed this week and then it will be out as soon as i...

Weekly Update - 5/11/21 "Speed of Light" Solo Preview

Hey everyone, this week I'm hyped to show off a clip from an upcoming cover. Our friends Ty and Brian from Lords of the Trident lent us their voice and shred skills to really put the power into power metal. I started mixing this song on a live stream the other month, so check out how far it's come and enjoy Ty's 800 backing vocal layers and Brian's absolutely inhuman soloing skills.

The other update I have is that tomorrow I'll be sending out messages to everyone in the $5-tier and hig...

Weekly Update - Black Sabbath Supernaut Cover (Demo)

Hey, everyone! I had been listening to this song all week and one night after work I decided to start recording a cover of it. I realized the song only has two riffs so like how hard could it be. I'm sure I'll find that out when I go to fix the drums, record final tracks, and figure out how many overdubs it needs to sound correct. I have some ideas for a video that I'll need to learn more editing techniques for, so I have no idea when a final version would be out, which is why I've decided to...

Hey everyone! I'm live for the next few hours working on the second Factory Flora album, come hang out!

Factory Flora Cassettes Now Available

When payments are processed for May, I'll send out a message through Patreon to everyone in the $5-tier and higher asking for either your shipping info to send you one, or if cassettes aren't your thing you can get a $5 discount code for the Klaymore and Katy Scary merch stores that will expire at the end of the month. There is a special thanks section on the inside of the cassette case, but thes...

Patrons Only Live Stream Announcement - May 2nd

Hey, everyone! This month's live stream will be this Sunday, May 2nd at 9pm EST. Last week Derrick and I sat down to start officially putting together the next Factory Flora album, so this stream will be me messing with what we have written so far. Be there Sunday night to hear some brand new lofi jams

Archive Upload - First Compositions

Thanks to you guys reaching the "Archive Upload" community goal, I will now be uploading unheard material every other month just for channel patrons. This link will lead to a YouTube playlist with all previous uploads as well.

I started releasing lofi hip hop in 2019, but I actually had years of experience writing music only with midi before that. In high school, my brother and I would mess around with FL Studio and try to make edm, and then in early 2014 I started consistently writing ...

"Launch Octopus" - Mega Man X [Lofi Remix]

We're back with more lofi this month and this time I delved back into one of my favorite game soundtracks: Mega Man X. The Chill Penguin remix I did from this game last year is one of my favorite things I've released with this project, so I wanted to take another crack at it (with more on the way). Enjoy the relaxing, retro vibes!

This song will be available to all $3-tier patrons and higher in my next post and is also currently available on Spotify. Thank you all for the continued sup...

Hey, everyone! Last week Dan showed up with a fully arranged and recorded cover of "Town of Glenfinnan" from the game Odallus: The Dark Call, so I joined him in the burning backdrop of my living room to tear up this 80s speed metal inspired track. I've never played this game and based ...

Hey everyone, dropping another demo for my extreme metal project this week called "Reviled By Light." This one took me longer than I wanted to finish because I kept putting time and thought into the lyrics which is the last thing anyone pays attention to in this genre. I have not learned my le...

"I've Come to Make an Announcement" Preview - Weekly Update 3/29/21

Very weird update this week. Last night we had our patrons stream and I showed two new songs I'm working on. One was a melodic death metal cover of the "I've Come to Make an Announcement" video from SnapCube. If you haven't watched the original video, this will make absolutely no sense so I'm including a link to the source material at the end of this post.  The long story short version of the original is that SnapCube made an improv, single take fandub of the Sonic Adventure 2 cut scenes...
