This week was very boring! I was supposed to film for another video but that got pushed back for another two weeks. I decided to take this unexpected "free" time to revamp a lot of the Factory Flora channel since over the last year I've figured out more what thumbnails work or don't work and we now have a more consistent brand. We have our monthly remix set to be released this week and this one will be out on both YouTube and Spotify, so check back Friday to hear more of our ethereal piano mu...

I had a busy year. I've known Sariya for I think like 7 years and we finally had a chance to work on something together. I really like how this video turned out, so check out this symphonic rendition of Viva La Vida with me on lead vocals

Now that I've woken up from my 24-hour Labor Day nap, you guys can check out what I did this weekend. 5 months ago we had a cover of "Gobi's Valley" from Banjo Kazooie released onto streaming services, and we were given a whole two weeks notice for the release date to film and edit a video! Wow! How useless! So obviously I didn't have a video ready in time since during April I was much more focused on like, living through a pandemic rather than playing guitar. The final video will also have a...

Filmed a ton this weekend for a video that I want to get onto the Klaymore channel by the end of this month. I'll be editing together some of it to show you guys a preview clip on Tuesday instead of Monday because I'll just be sleeping all of Labor Day

In the last year I recorded guest vocals for two albums, and one just dropped its first single. You can check out me doing my best Sebastian Bach impression singing for the band Shotgun Rodeo from Norway now on Spotify

This weekend I did a ton of work getting ready to film some new content, and if everything goes according to plan I'll be filming it this Saturday. In the mean time, I figured I would show parts of us getting our setup finalized, so I put together this short clip of The Claw is the Law for you guys to check out. Back in April we released a cover of "Gobi's Valley" on Spotify featuring our friends in Lords of the Trident, so that's going to be the first song we film and release a final video f...

We're still on our Sonic the Hedgehog kick this month and are rolling out a remix of "Star Light Zone" from the original game. When we first skimmed through the soundtrack looking for potential remixes, this was the one that immediately stuck out to Derrick while my first pick was Marble Zone from last month. Be sure to like the video and let me know what you think on YouTube. All Katron Rank II patrons and up can download this song from my previous post here on Patreon.
The weekly up...

This week's Weekly Update video will have some example footage of the new filming space setup (aka the living room), but for now here's some in-progress shots of rearranging it to how we want, including the must have vanity speaker wall. I got my friend Alex to help me with new video material, so this weekend we messed with all the new gear I've acquired over the last two months. We're going for a new backdrop unlike my previous green screen or all black backdrop that I've used in videos up t...

This week I get to present a clip of another final mix. The full song is only about two and a half minutes long, so this "clip" is actually more than half of it. I have NO idea when this song will be available to the public, so you all reap yet another benefit of being the first pledges to my Patreon and get to hear most of it months early. This song is going on a Secret of Mana remix compilation album, so it's entirely up to the album's producer to let the rest of us know the tentative relea...

Hey guys, I've been messing around with my new Canon 90D this week and filming some 4k footage to use as background videos for Factory Flora (which I'll inevitably warp and distort to make it look like it was played on a VCR in 1993, but anyway). Check out my new visual capabilities and also check out the audio I've included which is the skeletal arrangement for a remix of Starlight Zone from Sonic the Hedgehog that Derrick and I have been putting together this last week. Right now it's just ...

I'm doing some updates to the Factory Flora channel and I just wanted to point out/appreciate how goofy the sprite for Sting Chameleon looks in the background. Also, if you have yet to check out my work with Factory Flora, here's the Sting Chameleon remix: https://youtu.be/lei_nPyWWfs

I bought some new LED RGB lights and a new camera and lens, so while I don't have any play-through videos to film at the moment, I'm trying them out by getting some background footage for my lofi videos. I'll have some edited examples on Monday to show off what the new camera can do!

This week I have multiple song previews for everyone. These are going to be on remix compilation albums for Hollow Knight and Secret of Mana that I THINK will be out by the end of the year (that part is up to the album organizers). I just handed in my final mix for the Hollow Knight album on Friday and the Secret of Mana due date is in two weeks, so by then I'll have an updated preview clip for everyone to hear.

I was hoping to use a Klaymore clip for this update, but the guitar I need to use for it needs work done before I can record properly with it. I'll hopefully have something by the end of the month.
Instead, we still have some metal this week. I'm currently working on three tracks for various different video game remix compilation albums, so this is the solo section from a cover I've been tracking this week from the game Hollow Knight. The first solo is played by my friend (and fellow P...

This month's Factory Flora remix was turning the Sonic the Hedgehog OST into ethereal lounge music. I'm hoping to do a lot more from this game in the future since there's a surprising amount of material to work with in each song. Be sure to like the video and let me know what you think on YouTube. All Katron Rank II patrons and up can download this song from my previous post here on Patreon. Thank you guys for the continued support!

Hey, everyone! Tonight I have a preview of some Factory Flora work that will be dropping later this week. I kicked up my lofi editing up a notch this month with some new plugins so now we have that sought after VHS static. The full song will be dropping on Friday, Katriarch level patrons will be able to hear it on Thursday night, and it will be on Spotify as soon as it gets processed through their system

Welcome, everyone! I just wanted to give an extra thanks to everybody who immediately jumped on board. I'll be starting my weekly update posts this Monday with a preview of upcoming work and more info about what's coming next (including a merch discount code for everyone who pledged any amount this first month).
ALSO, the Patreon bot in Discord is sometimes weird about assigning roles, so if you're in our server and your role wasn't updated after pledging, please feel free to message m...
