[Important: Patreon rolled out a new Patron Manager, and it is monumentally bad. I think I managed to successfully message everyone their rewards, but please let me know if you didn't receive them. Thanks!]
Howdy! I apologize for the prolonged absence (again). This year has been tough for me mentally, but I think I’m finally ready to get back into the swing of making videos again. I’ve just uploaded “Underground” from Yoshi’...

Hi! I hope everyone is staying safe out there! I’ve been spending a lot of time inside, so I’ve been making progress on a lot of my videos, but I also keep jumping back and forth between projects, so I haven’t finished anything until right now. But Witchyworld {from the Suggestion Box) is finally live on YouTube! I also have some news about new Suggestion Box forms, as well as some previews of the Underground and Bonus Game themes from Yoshi’s Island.

Hello, long time no see! Sorry for the lack of content lately. I was working on a Dark World collaboration, but unfortunately that fell through, and then I got discouraged from making videos for a while after that. But I’ve decided that the new year is a good time to get things back on track, so I’ve reorganized a few things, and hopefully I’ll be able to get Dark World finished within the next month or two. For now I hope you enjoy the Turnabout Sisters Th...

[EDIT: Whoops, I made a huge mistake in the original upload, so I just re-edited and re-uploaded the video. For Patrons who are looking for a link to the raw video, click here! The link that I sent to your private messages is the original/wrong video, so ignore that one (unless you want to save my error for posterity).]

Hello! I hope you are all having a good 2019 so far. Outset Island is now live on YouTube, and I’ve also prepared some previews of “On the Beach of Dreams” from Chrono Cross and “The Legendary Theme” from Gitaroo Man, which are part of an upcoming double update! As usual, the links for those are down at the bottom, but first I wanted to show you some cool new lighting equipment that I purchased.

[ Ok, apparently if I upload a video as unlisted and then publish it at a later date, I will be shat upon by the YouTube algorithms, so I guess I’ll just have to post a link to Home Sweet Home on my Google Drive and then upload it to YouTube when I’m ready to publish it:

Hello!
I just wanted to post a quick update to notify you that I’m going to start uploading regularly again starting near the end of October. I know it’s been a while since my last Patreon update, so I just wanted to give you a fair warning of my return so that you’d have a chance to cancel or modify your pledges in the event that your financial situations or tastes have changed since the last time I uploaded.
My goal is to start updating about once per month aga...

Hello everyone! Sorry for the delay again. I’ve been working on a couple of Earthbound related tracks that took a lot longer to put together than I anticipated (more on that at the bottom of the page). Also, now that I have all this cool equipment that helps to simplify my work flow, I’ve felt a lot more comfortable in taking on really complex projects that I never would have attempted in the past. As a result, my videos end up taking a lot longer to produce than they...

Hello everyone! I’m back (again), and I finally managed to finish my Dragon Roost Island video. In one of my previous updates, I mentioned a free bonus video that I wanted to post for Christmas. Well, Dragon Roost Island ended up being so complicated that I didn’t have time to post one video in December, let alone two. I’d still like to post a free video at some point, though, so I’ll keep working on it alongside my other projects, and hopefully I can have it out ...

Update: December 13, 2017
Due to the high volume of negative feedback Patreon has received regarding this change, Patreon will NOT be going forward with the changes to the fee structure. So basically, just ignore this entire post. However, if you have already modified your pledge amount, don't worry about modifying it back, I will make sure that everyone gets the rewards that they are entitled to.
I'll post more about this in my next update to make sure that everyone...

Hello, and sorry for the prolonged absence again! After working on Gruntilda’s Lair and the SMB3 medley back to back, I decided to try to pick something simple to work on to give myself a break from all the heavy labor, so I chose to record Dragon Roost Island. Unfortunately it turned out to be one of the most complicated things I’ve ever recorded, which is why it took me another two months to upload a video. My next project should be fairly simple, though, so after this I ...

Hello everyone! I decided to take a break during the month of August because it was just way too hot to do anything. But I’m back now, and I’ve got some cool stuff to share with you, including new equipment, some new productivity tools that I’ve adopted, and a preview of a Super Mario Bros. 3 medley that I’m working on!

Hello everyone! I just uploaded Flower Garden from Yoshi’s Island, so here’s an update regarding my next project! Normally I’d also talk about new equipment purchases, but I didn’t really purchase anything interesting this month, as I’m trying to save up some money to maybe make some upgrades to my recording/monitoring equipment. So I guess this entire update is just gonna be about Gruntilda’s Lair.

Hey everyone! I just now uploaded Delfino Plaza! I think on my lag blog post I rattled on about how cool the harmonium was, and I’m actually still really excited about it. It was a lot of fun to record, and I’m looking forward to using it again soon. But in the meantime, I decided to tackle my favorite track from Yoshi’s Island, Flower Garden (preview link at the bottom of the page).

Hot Head Bop is now live! This project took a long time, mostly because I really wanted to use a harpsichord for the pattern that plays behind the main melody, so I spent a lot of time looking around for a university that had an unsupervised harpsichord lying around. I finally found one, and I was able to sneak into the university with all of my equipment and record the harpsichord without incident.

So I submitted Schala’s Theme for distribution to iTunes/Amazon/Google a week ago, but for some reason it’s still not live on any service except for Spotify, and I don’t want the video to go up on YouTube before the MP3 is available, so I’m just gonna give y’all early access to the video for now. I’ve emailed DistroKid about my problem, so hopefully it’ll be resolved soon, at which point I’ll push the video out to the rest of my subscribers.
Anyway, sorry for my brief abs...

Hello! Again, I’d like to thank you all for supporting my videos! Thanks to your contributions, I was finally able to record Mining Melancholy arrangement, which had just been sitting on my hard drive for the past couple of years since I couldn’t afford the stuff that I needed to actually record it. That video has just gone live, so here’s an update about other stuff I’ve been spending your money on, plus a preview of Schala’s Theme down at the bottom.

Hello! Spiral Mountain just went live, so here are a few updates about stuff that’s been going on in my home studio. But first, a quick note about the new $3 tier.
New Tier
As you may already know, I recently added a $3 tier that allows you to download the stem tracks from each video I upload. I’ve made a separate post with the download link. If you are currently pledging $3 and are unable to access the post, you probably just nee...

Hello! I'm going to be uploading Spiral Mountain within the next couple of days, but I just wanted to post a quick update about reward tiers.
New $3 Tier
I noticed that there were a few people who were pledging in between tiers, and I felt bad that they weren't getting anything extra out of it, so I decided to add an official $3 tier. The $3 tier will allow you to download a zip file that contains all of my stem tracks (i.e. individual audio tracks for guitar, me...

Hello folks! First off, thanks to your pledges, I am now able to purchase a mandolin I’ve been wanting so that I can re-record Spiral Mountain. I won’t be able to purchase the mandolin until I receive the payment at the beginning of next month, so the Spiral Mountain video probably won’t be posted until a couple videos down the line, but I’ll keep you updated. I’ve also been wanting to record Dragon Roost Island for a long time, and now that I have a mandolin, I...
