I realize it's been a few months since my last post here. Truth be told, a major player in the reason is that I've been a bit low on ideas, combined with the pandemic everyone's concerned about making me impatient for things to get back to normal.
This is not to say absolutely nothing has happened, however. In regards to my prior post about the Kickstarter for Brok, I'm happy to say it was a successful campaign within a mere 21 or so hours of its launch! Also received my own share of related merchandise a few weeks ago, so that also has me pretty excited for promoting the game as its composer.

As for other things going on, I've become well acquainted with cartoonist Brandon Zalar, who's proven himself a good friend and source of motivation and inspiration, in addition to an eager client. So far I've made the music for a Christmas-themed animation of his made late last year, and while he polishes up a longer animation coming within the next week or so, he's been sharing my music occassionally while he's been streaming his own creative process on Twitch. More information about him and his work can be found on his own website:

I've also admittedly been a bit caught up with some game-music-related communities with the niche interest of finding synthesizer sounds used in certain soundtracks. Some words exchanged in them have been responsible for some of my activity as of late, whether it's my finally succeeding in extracting a Fairlight Series III hard drive, or, more recently, ripping a demonstration vinyl record of the Emulator II.
Some inner epiphanies as of late have made me grow to realize that, while things do seem to be improving for everyone, there's still a lot of work to be done, and my productivity is proving no different. I do hope to get more on top of actually making music, though, especially as I realize I've slipped up recently, and as further consolation, I will try to do better to update this blog when anything noteworthy happens.
