The new BitCrushed compilation drops on Friday! I contributed a solo famitracker composition called “The Unseeable Forever” which closes out the album. If you like slow, emotional songs with alternating 4/4 & 7/8 time signatures, this one’s for you.

I am on this new album with new turbo grafx-16 song ‘Rainy Summer Daze’! Please get the word out and share some support this Friday Nov 21st.

If you're looking for a chipwest emo song actually written by a real person, here's 'West For The Winter' by me. Heavily influenced by American Football

There’s only one choice. A mini golf game featuring Eugene Levy?! Yes.

“We only want what’s best for him” 😌

I remember this! We got so hyped for the game and my older brother bought it. It’s crazy that they just threw in a giant spoiler right in one of the images though….

Angherr Shisspa (Revisited) by Kōenjihyakkei album cover a Tibetan-style demon strumming a lute-like instrument

Tatsuya Yoshida of #Ruins has a lifelong love of #Magma. Kōenjihyakkei's fourth album Angherr Shisspa is the point at which he took the French band’s formula to make something that even eclipses even them

Love this band! I got into them and Ruins before Magma - so it was a sort of a connecting of the dots to find the influence.

This is a good one gang
