Rainbow-nd

So last week I promised that I would do a retrospective of sorts for Rainbow-nd, and here it is! The general concept of Rainbow-nd was to create a set of tracks each inspired by a color of the rainbow. Initially, that was just 6, but I made a track for class that I felt was…

El Draque

Happy Halloween, everyone! It finally happened! I completed Rainbow-nd! Honestly, I thought I would never get here, but after over a year of messing around with LMMS and plugins and just generally not being very productive, I’ve finished all the tracks that I planned to make. So how long did that take? August 8th, 2020?…

Well, it’s October and you know what that means! That’s right, time for a summer themed music track! What do you mean you want skeletons and pumpkins? Anyway, I’ve always thought of October as the “Orange month,” what with the Halloween pumpkins and changing leaves, so I figured I’d release Rainbow-nd‘s Orange theme to kick…

Magicis Puella Desiderio

Exactly a year ago, I woke up to find that my favorite gacha game was closing down its North American server. Magia Record’s NA branch had just wrapped up its anniversary. I felt like I had been punched in the gut, which sounds silly when you realize it’s just a mobile game, but I made…

The Site of Battle, now a meadow

This is the only piece I can remember where I started composing from the middle instead of the beginning. Yeah. I don’t think I’m going to be doing that again. I actually started writing this track…

The Eye

Hm. So this is one of the projects I mentioned in my last post that I was working on. It’s been out for a week, but I wanted to space things out (and also so that I could take a week off). I wrote this piece as part of my final project in a physics…

Blue Shell Beach

You can also listen to this track on Bandcamp as part of the album Rainbow-nd! Once again since there are limits to the descriptions put on Bandcamp and Soundcloud, I thought I’d take the time to write out my thoughts here. This track was inspired primarily by two sources: Maplestory’s “Above the Treetops” and Ethan…

Starbound

You can also listen to this track on Bandcamp as part of the album Rainbow-nd. Since there are certain character limits on Bandcamp and Soundcloud for adding my thoughts, I decided to make a post here about my feelings towards this piece. For a very long time now, I’ve been hitting my head against a…
