Hey all! Haven't made a post in a while, but I saw that @Teravex released his new album Amethyst so I thought I'd shine a spotight on it for him. He's one of my oldest musician buddiest here on NG, and he's been around since 2013 but still hasn't reached 100 fans like @Cacola and myself. Let's fix that. His newest album has a lot of tasty house jams. My personal favorite track from the Amethyst is Skylights currently. Listen to the album here:
Also merry christmas. I got a bunch of steam keys, so I'm gonna be dropping them in random places, like videos on my youtube channels, in the descriptions of some of my older songs, and maybe other more obscure places???
2016 is swiftly coming to a close, so I've begun looking back and reflecting on my music and how I've evolved over the year. To start, I'm going back and listening to every track I've released. I plan on making a youtube video discussing my growth over the past year, and my goals for the future.
However, I'm really terrible at analyzing and criticising myself so I'm turning to my fans for help! Let me know how I did in 2016. What was your favorite track? Have my changes in terms of branding and marketing made any noticeable difference? Have I been engaging with my fans as much as I have been? Am I treating you guys alright? What do you want to see more of in the future? I want to know! Leave me some comments down below, let me know your thoughts.
I've made a playlist of my personal favorite tracks of 2016. Give em a listen here:
P.S. Anyone here play xbone? I blew my paycheck on one last week to play with my console friends. If you want me to add you, leave a comment or message me with your xbox gamertag! Mine's larynachos (one R, I made the account when I was a wee lad). All I have for it so far is Halo Master Chief Collection, Halo 5, and Naruto UNS4 (fuckin love this game lol).
Hey everyone! I just wanted to make a quick post to say that if you want to support me, the best way would be to donate $1 monthly via my Patreon. If every fan donated just $1 a month, I would be able to quit my job at McDonald's and make music ALL THE TIME. I have a lot of cool ideas right now, but the shift manager keeps giving me 11 hour shifts (11-10), and it's hard to find time to create, which forces me to rush my work and shelve my ideas.
The rewards and stuff are just something I came up with on the spot, so don't feel obligated to pay more than $1 a month because I'll probably give all of my patreons all of the rewards. Even the smallest bit helps!
Also, you guys like vaporwave? I tried my hand at it today and I'm pretty happy with the results.
Also, go follow @Cacola. He's an incredible musician.
I just wrapped up my latest album last night! Listen to it here on Newgrounds, or on Soundcloud via the embed below:
The downloads are free on Newgrounds, but if you're feeling generous you can buy the album on Bandcamp or support me on Patreon. That would help me out a lot. Thanks!
Do you need more cute ferret videos in your life? I certainly think you do!
Shoutout to @thedukeofjuke for his cool music, which I used in the video.
Music
I'm just about done with my 8th album. I'm working on a finale and then it'll be out for sale. SPEAKING OF PURCHASING MUSIC, you can pick up my entire discography for only $9.75 on Bandcamp! Click the link in my info to check it out! Individually, the albums are always like one or two dollars, so it wouldn't hurt to look! I'm might start disabling downloads on my tracks here on Newgrounds soon, idk.
Videos
@seprix and I have been talking about working togeether on some films! We're both amateur filmmakers who live fairly close together, so this is an exciting opportunity to finally work on video projects with someone!
Also, I've started uploading to my YouTube channel again. I was inactive for a while when I first signed up for Newgrounds, but I'm back in the game now! I'm gonna be uploading my music there, as well as a bunch of other things. Idk I have a lot of ideas haha. Make sure to subscribe to my
That's right, I finally made a Patreon! I'm getting tired of my part-time job getting in the way of my creative endeavors, so I'm trying to take the steps towards making my hobbies a career. It's a monthly donation, so you won't have to worry about me spamming you with a bunch of crappy content just to make money! I've set up a couple rewards which I think are pretty cool, and my only goal is to get $800 a month to cover the income I get with my part-time job. Of course I can make changes to the rewards if people have concerns, so make sure to speak out!~ You can check out my patreon (and perhaps donate?) . HERE
Gaming Channel (ew lol)
I've started a gaming channel, BUT I don't want to just upload crappy gameplay and stuff. I'm working on making some funnier scripted videos, machinimas/cinematics, reviews, challenges, and modding tutorials. Right now, I"m playing a lot of Super Smash Bros Brawl, but a hacked version B) Interesting? I'm releasing a tutorial on how to install it for the Dolphin Emulator soon.
Anyhoo, just wanted to catch up with all of you! I'm trying really hard to build not just a fanbase, but a community. I'm having trouble finding a niche, so I'm kinda all over the place. Hope you can forgive me! Have a good day, Newgrounds!

My new camera arrived today: a Canon T3 1100d! This video is just some random footage I filmed in and around my house. Just getting a feel for the camera's controls and settings. Also practiced some stabilization and color correction for post production. I'm very happy with these results, and I can't wait to work on more videos!
Any other filmmakers on NG? I know @Seprix has some experience!
Psst! Did you know you can buy my entire discography (12 albums) for only $9.75? Well you can, over on my bandcamp page (link in the sidebar)!
I seriously can't thank you guys enough. Huge shoutout to @1ReVeLaToR1 for being mr 300. I don't really know what to say. It took less than a year to get another 100 fans, the 200th being last september. Thanks everyone! How about 400 by the end of the year :3
How you guys doing? Talk to me in the comments lol :D
Also, I have some bad news. My computer died, so I can't compose music for a bit. If the hard drive is fubar, any and all projects I have out right now will be cancelled. I'm staying optimistic about it, since my last computer failure still allowed me to recover some data.
