Hey Patrons!
Ken's Theme is coming along well and sounding pretty awesome. I should have a first draft done today and have a preview for Tier 3+ Patrons up here really soon. Assuming all goes according to plan, I should have the video complete and up around Thursday or Friday.
I got pretty much the whole week off just to work on May Madness songs so I'm gonna be super busy this week! I've also decided on 2 more brand new songs that will join the line-u...

Time for some Etrian Odyssey! Their Own Brand of Justice is the final boss theme from Etrian Odyssey III: The Drowned City.
This was yet another song chosen from the Patreon Request List. We got 2 rather left field choices in a row (this song and Cursed Leorina), so we've definitely been on the path less traveled lately. xD
This song was actually pretty difficult to get down. I had to do a lot of practicing on it. Long non-stop 12th note parts and arpeggios abound. Really fun son...

GaMetal - Their Own Brand of Justice (WAV)
Here's the early download for the upcoming song, Their Own Brand of Justice from Etrian Odyssey III!
Was supposed to have this up this weekend but I broke a guitar string :/ I have everything now though and just have to edit it together and will have it up tomorrow (Monday).
Enjoy!
Here's another for Alex Bourdages, this is the all too familiar Overworld theme from Yoshi's Island.
Added shaker because I couldn't get the shaker sound out of my head from the original. xD
Enjoy!
Here's a short for you from Mats T., this is the ending theme to Darius Twin, a game with really cool music. xD
This reminds me of something, but I can't put my finger on it. Burst Man from MM7 perhaps?
Enjoy!
Here's one for Kyle K., this is Vega's Theme from Street Fighter II.
This will go nicely at the end of the Ken's Theme video coming later this month. :)
Enjoy!
Here's a preview of the upcoming song, Their Own Brand of Justice.
Pretty neat so far. Like I said in my update post, this song is actually kind of hard. Non-stop 12th notes for almost a minute and a half after this first section, and arpeggios everywhere. Makes for a great guitar exercise though!
Enjoy!
Good afternoon/morning/evening Patrons!
Been kind of low-key lately but we should be all caught up by the time the week is over. I'm about 75% done with the next song, Their Own Brand of Justice. It's actually pretty difficult xD but it's really cool. It'll definitely be a good warm up song for my repertoire. Assuming all things go according to plan, the video should be up either on Friday or Saturday.
I'll also be spending most of tomorrow (I'm off work yay) w...
2016-04-11 21:36:50 +0000 UTC View PostHey Patrons!
I've been taking it easy the past few days just to recharge my creative batteries, working on some acoustic shorts (should have a few more up later) and such.
Things have been going great here on Patreon! We're getting really close to that Patreon Album goal, we were REALLY close before but a lot of declined cards at the beginning of this month dropped us back down a bit, but that's ok. Whenever that goal is reached, I'll post all the details on how it's going...
2016-04-05 13:42:30 +0000 UTC View PostHere's an acoustic short brought to you by Alex Bourdages, it's Zinogre's Theme from the Monster Hunter games (I think it's in 3 and 4? :P)
I've gotten a lot of Monster Hunter requests throughout time. Maybe we'll pull one from the request list sometime this year if it doesn't get randomly chosen. :)
Enjoy!
April Fool's day has arrived, and that means it's out-of-place-awesome-song time!
This final boss theme was requested a few times after last year's April Fool's special (Final Boss from McDonald's Treasure Land Adventure), I've kept it in the back of my mind since then. I was deciding between a few other songs for this year but decided to go with this one.
It's also a pretty laid back song similar to our last song, Cursed Leorina, but while the latter had more of a softer feel, S...
2016-04-01 18:44:46 +0000 UTC View PostHere's the WAV version of SpongeBot SteelPants for you amazing Tier 3+ Patrons. Enjoy!
GaMetal - SpongeBot SteelPants
Here's the early download for tomorrow's April Fool's Day special: the final boss theme from the PS2 game SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom!
Don't let the game fool you: this final boss theme is totally serious. Enjoy!
Here's one for Jamison 'SolarZero' P., this is the Coliseum battle theme from Kirby Super Star.
I slowed it down some, seemed to sound more 'western' that way. xD
Enjoy!
Here's an acoustic short from Airsh, this is Wisdom of the World from Mother.
Finger-picked for that extra softness.
Enjoy!
Here's an acoustic short from BurgleTurd, this is the SS Anne theme from the original Pokemon Red/Blue.
I was kind worried this was gonna turn out crappy but it actually sounds really good. Kind of reminds me of the Valentina acoustic bit I did in the SMRPG medley.
Enjoy!
It's acoustic short time! I should have some more coming today and tomorrow.
Let's start off with one for Chris Bonner, this is Snowman from Earthbound.
Enjoy!
Here's the first minute of the upcoming song, SpongeBot SteelPants from Battle for Bikini Bottom.
Another fairly simple song, a lot of percussion and orchestral oriented stuff, the main melody line is pretty much the same throughout. A lot of funky time changes in the drum line too but that comes later.
Enjoy! xD
It's time for an unusual choice! This is the request list round 4 drawing winner, Cursed Leorina from the PS2 game Klonoa 2.
It's sort of slower and softer than anything we've done recently, but I decided to keep it that way since, in the game, Leorina is overwhelmed by sorrow and transfers into this weird dragon thing. So it's actually fitting.
The next song up will be the April Fools special followed by the round 5 drawing winner! Thanks as always for your support Patrons...

Here's the early download for the upcoming song, the Patreon request list round 4 drawing winner Cursed Leorina from Klonoa 2.
Finished recording all the video earlier and just need to edit it together tonight, so it'll be up tomorrow. Enjoy!
Hey Patrons!
I've decided on the April Fools song! I had it narrowed down to this or a song from Shaq-Fu (maybe next year, did you know Shaq Fu got funded for a reboot?), but I've ended up with the Final Boss theme from Spongebob Squarepants: Battle for Bikini Bottom, I remember seeing a few requests for this song last April Fools day when I posted the McDonald's Treasure Land...
2016-03-25 04:41:19 +0000 UTC View PostHere's a preview of the upcoming song, Cursed Leorina from Klonoa 2.
It's actually a pretty simple song melody-wise, just a lot of hard-to-hear-stuff going on in the rhythm in the original. I decided to keep the gloomy feel since a lot of people like this song for that reason.
Enjoy!
Well I was supposed to do this earlier today, but I just got home not too long ago.
Congratulations Octillery: a winner is you!

2016-03-23 04:13:13 +0000 UTC View PostGood morning Patrons! To get a better vision of how this month is going to play out, I've decided to go ahead and draw the next Patreon song. We'll be doing this tomorrow.
I've now officially instated a system for people who have won a raffle before but are still pledging: If your song has been chosen from the list and is completed, you will sit out for 3 rounds, you'll then be entered in the next 2 rounds at half voting value (meaning, your song will count for 1 vote, while everyone elses...

Obscure song time! RandomPicker has spoken: The next song will be Cursed Leorina from the PS2 game Klonoa 2.
I don't know much about Klonoa (is... is he a cat?), aside from ...
2016-03-17 16:50:04 +0000 UTC View PostHey Patrons!
I believe I've got everyone's list up with a song chosen on the Patreon Request List, I encourage you to take a look and make sure you're on it if you've submitted me your list, as there's always a chance I might have missed someone.
If you haven't posted a list yet, feel free to post it anytime before I do the drawing. I can always add to the drawing participants any time before the ...

The latest song has arrived: Dirty and Beauty (aka Sullied Grace) from Kirby Triple Deluxe!
So I had stated here on Patreon the next song would be a song of my choosing, I was going back and forth between a few but ultimately ended up on Dirty and Beauty. It's one of my favorite 'modern' Kirby songs, and was also a pick from XenomorphicTendencie's song list and was also on giga-ganon's request list, plus it's a highly requested song period, so I was pretty confident in going with it.
