I know movie theaters make most of their profits from concessions and that's why it's so expensive, but when it comes to people like me who won't ever pay $10 for popcorn they could make some extra money by selling a ticket that costs a few more dollars and lets me bring in my own food.

And yes, getting beaten with a stick would be an improvement to my mental health vs nervously refreshing reddit every 5 minutes

For hire: someone to come to my house every day at 10pm and beat me senseless if I'm still doomscrolling instead of winding down for the day and reading a book I enjoy.

I made a thing! I downloaded Vermilion VR today and gave VR painting a try. I don't really know what I'm doing but it was pretty fun. I'm especially pleased with the sky, I might have to go back and add more detail to the mountains.

Progress photos below the cut.

I finished a piano track! But before I release it I started experimenting with also making an Orchestral version. What do you think/which do you like better, solo piano vs orchestral? (The strings still need more refinement, but here it is as a quick sketch)

New song release today! It hasn't snowed much yet this year where I live, but this song is helping me get in the cozy, snowy mood.

Listen here!

I began writing "Snowfall" on a quiet afternoon, inspired by the snow falling on the trees. I wanted to capture the calm and cozy feeling of sitting inside while watching the snow through a window. The track reflects that sense of quiet stillness and introspection. Releasing on Bandcamp 1 week early.

I'm returning to a song I released 8 months ago. I try not to go back to old projects too much, but I always wished this one had a calmer, more mellow sound to it.

I know nothing about making ambient and atmospheric music, but I think I'm off to a good start. I'm open to any tips and feedback. Take a listen to the video above to hear how the new version sounds compared to the original.

The pumpkin bread from the bakery at the store:

Full of evil fat and sugar

Probably has some pumpkin in it, but that doesn't count

Unhealthy

The identical pumpkin bread I made myself:

Homemade

Has vegetable puree in it

Probably super healthy for me to eat lots of

Another WIP. I think I'm going to call this one "Hope".

Small celebration post.

My favorite release just got a boost from the Spotify algorithm and has gotten over 3k streams this week! Not sure how long it will last as the algorithm is fickle (already trending back down) but if you haven't heard it yet it's worth a listen!

Current WIP: Snowfall. It's not a complicated song but I'm loving the cozy vibes.

Thank you! This song is a personal favorite. My original vision for the song was rain on a bustling street, capturing the movement of the rain and the cars and the people. But as I worked on it I liked focusing not on the objects themselves but on the light playing off of all the things I was envisioning, which turned into ripples and refections of light.

Release day! I had so much fun writing this. It was my first time incorporating orchestral strings with the piano and I couldn't be happier with the end result. My favorite part is especially from the 2:00 mark to the end.

Thank you so much for this description! So vivid! I'm flattered you were able to envision such a beautiful scene in my music. This comment made my day :)

New song release -Wildflower Meadow!

This one is for the gamedev folks. It's a nice looping sort of song that would make a good game soundtrack. While writing this one I kept thinking of a game like Flower where you are a gust of wind sweeping through the grass and flowers, running up and down hills. What does it make you think of?

Danse Pensive

I really like how ponderous yet energetic this song sounds, like a dancer concentrating hard on their actions, intention in every movement.

As always, my latest release is out a few days early on bandcamp! Coming to all streaming platforms on September 12th.

It's release day! Another new piano song for y'all, enjoy!
