Miss fortunes song FINALLY releases...

Actually...it's already out on Spotify. It has been for some time, but this release has been such a pain in the ass ughhh....

So, here's the rundown(for y'all who wasn't asking for it lol):

Routenote is my music publishing provider. I upload songs to their service and they publish it on all streaming platforms. It usually takes about a week to get a song approved and available on Spotify, but I always upload two weeks in advance to make sure there are no delays between video and s...

Riot sent me a gift(ASMR opening)

Well actially...it wasn't really Riot, but a proxy company called "Summoner". Kind of a consolation price for not being included in the community cover playlist...
...so now I can learn to make covers...

"No Sleep Tonight" feat. Rawb - Little Nightmares song

I played the games with my wife and daughters and we reaaaally liked them! I can highly recommend them!

This song was so much fun to make! Not only did my daughters participate directly(I think you can hear them quite clearly ;)), but I did tons of foley recordings and ear candy throughout. Listen closely, there's a lot of details in there :D HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Frozen Memory feat. AntiRivet

This was another beast I had to iterate on many times before getting the feel right...both lyrically and instrumentally. BUT, after all I think it came out very cool(badum-tish), although leaning more into "nordic metal" than the cheerful and jolly side of Braum.

Special thanks to these exceptional individuals:

Still here~

Dear Patrons,

First, forgive me for the lack of communication. I've been wanting to share news with you many times, but I've just found myself so swamped and drained of energy to do community outreach :/

But I'm still here, so let me tell you what's going on.

You heard Beck and Call. And there's been a live video shoot, and the video is being worked on. The reason this song hasn't been released is mainly because the goal was to release TWO songs simultaneously, one fo...

NEW SONG - Beck & Call feat. Wonder (Miss Fortune song)

Verse 1:

Whisper tales of my misfortune

and I wear it like a crown

I spat my demons in the face

and watched them drown

I’m a killer and a lover

and I’m everything between

Spread the stories far and wide about 

The Pirate Queen

Chorus:

Set sail! Skull and bones! 

Take a bow ‘fore the throne

Goons, thugs, stand up tall

Ready at my beck and call

B...

Poll and update~

Dear patrons,

I hope you'll forgive my lack of updates recently. As a matter of fact, at the start of April, I got my previous job back, and I've been quite busy resuming my Audio Director duties.

Thus, I haven't had that much time for Falconshield stuff, sadly. I have however finished the Miss Fortune song, it's mixed and ready to go. I probably won't be able to release it until July since me and Wonder(who's doing the vocals) will do a double song release-thing and the second s...

(WIP) Beck & Call (Miss Fortune song)

I know it's been a little quiet from me for a while.

Good news is I actually got offered my job back, so I'm working full time in the games industry again. For now, at least. But I'm still hustling the best I can with new songs.

One of them being this Miss Fortune song which I think will turn out to be really great! The other one is a Katarina song that's a little too early to show off, still being written.

Let me know what you guys think!

MASOSCHISM feat. AntiRivet & Rawb Lucci (Rammus song)

I highly recommend listening on a system that has some bass, either headphones or a 2.1 system or something. You'll thank me later ;)

Hope you like it!

Lyrics:

Masoschism

Verse 1

Surprise,

You hear the rev and now I’m rollin’ out the jungle,

That armordillo here to quake until you’re humbled,

And when you look into my eyes, I’m tryna rumble,

You gettin’ heated, while I’m trollin’ like a Trundle,

Bridge...

Making a song out of a meme & update

Foolish of me to put the Rammus song as a suggestion I suppose. As one person commented, "If you ask Youtube, the answer is always going to be a meme". I suppose that's right.

Okay so let me drop a few things:
1: I didn't make a "Behind The Mix" for Put Out The Flame. The first reason is that it takes me a lot of time to shoot and edit the video, and the second is that the videos don't seem to catch a lot of traction. So not really worth the effort, it seems. INSTEAD, I've been strea...

Put Out The Flame feat. Rena (Annie song)

This is my daughter's favorite song, and that might be the best review I've ever gotten.

To be content without content.

Hey everyone. 

First, how'd you like the new artwork? It's made by Helleborus ( https://twitter.com/Helleborus_Gab ) and it's going to be used for the Annie cover, obviously :P I personally LOVE it, and it fits the mood perfectly. I have mixed the song, but letting it rest for a little bit is usually good for discovering any quirks or inconsistencies.

Anyway. Let me get to the point. 

I was ...

WARMAGEDDON feat. Johannes Persson

Somewhere in the middle of production the similarities to our own world, and that definitely gave it a different nerve. Consider full scale nuclear warfare. That's the kind of destruction that Aatrox longs for. The aftermath is just dark and dead space.

HUGE thanks to Johannes Persson from Cult of Luna. Working with someone you've listened to in your youth is a very humbling experience. I hope you like the song!

Warmageddon, Annie song and Wonder collab!

Dear Patrons,

Thanks for another month of your support. Your generosity is truly more valuable to me than ever, so THANK you so much!

So let's give you an update:

WARMAGEDDON, the Aatrox song is releasing February 15th if everything goes as planned. You know how I use to complain about mixing metal, but I'm actually quite happy with how this one came out. I should probably make a production template from this project, because the drums, bass ...

Forging On (Ornn song)

I call this "nordic-metal mountain-shanty" and I think you will agree ;)

Update - Jan 2024

I recorded some audio but here's a transcript:

Hey everyone,

Short update. New year, new opportunities.

As the reality of my unemployment dawns on me, it becomes increasingly clear how important your support is. So thank you so much for your contributions. If you have any suggestions on how I can bring more value to you, please leave a comment.

On that note, we will host another trivia night shortly, probably with an accompanied AMA session. If you keep trac...

Between Two Voids Ep #6 - Kassadin

Malzahar's sworn enemy has somehow managed to make the guest list....

(NEW SONG) Life Is Cruel, Death Is Kind

I suppose you could say that this song is inspired by Kindred, but is really about death. 

This one has been recorded and produced exclusively by yours truly.

Lyrics:

Verse 1:

Live your life like an angel

Sell your soul to the devil

Stand united or divided

Doesn’t matter who you side with

Check your life as the time slows

Guiding hand coming in close

Reunite with the bloodline

Give your fears ...

It's over. (good news for you)

It happened again. 2 years of work with this game has ended in a studio shutdown, all employees let go. 

Since before that I was working for another studio where I spent ~3 years working on titles that never saw the light of day...that's a total of 5 years of working on shit that I do not own and that isn't improving my merits in this business. So right now, I'm feeling pretty burned with...

Kindred sample / life update

November is upon us. 

This will prove to be a pivotal time for me. If you didn't know, for the last one and half years, I've been working intensively as Audio Director for this game: https://www.shadowwar.com

It's an action multiplayer team based game, with a near future sci-fi setting. Think Overwatch, for some reference. 

In 2 weeks time, we will know if we will secure the funding required to conti...

BEHIND TWO VOIDS Ep.1 Mordekaiser (Patreon Exclusive)

Okay so, me and Kenny had this idea to do a Between Two Ferns-inspired talkshow where Malzahar is interviewing and being awkward with different guests. Just short pieces like this, and release them bi-weekly to you guys for being awesome and supportive!

Gonna get some custom art made for this too.

So...it's a pretty short listen, let us know what you think! Kinda funny?
