JWPH 🇵🇭

Happy Birthday to Wendy Carlos, composer famous for _Switched On Bach_ , _A Clockwork Orange_ , _The Shining_ , and _Tron_. She also did a brilliant collaboration with Weird Al and many other albums wirth checking out […]

Ensemble effect's done, but tweaks and some crackling delayed audio still remain…

One delay line left to code, and my own take on the vintage triple-chorus ensemble's done

To everyone in the #Philippines ,

- Do not forget to fully charge all your gadgets and powerbanks!
- Buy extra prepaid load
- Enable 7–30 days worth of unlimited Internet / mobile data
- Buy food if you haven't already (we tend not to because we're too used to typhoons)
- Secure your roof […]

A screencap showing the aftermath of my Normal Marisa(Yellow2) 1CC run. Below the large "STAGE CLEAR" text is a rundown of how many pyramids I defeated over the course of this run, which total 80, as well as a clear bonus of around 37 million pts.; beside the playfield are the final score (at 1,957,225,650 pts.) and lives/bombs left (5 (0/3)/2 (1/3)).

A live screencap during gameplay showing Ariya's final spellcard on both Easy/Normal, "Stone Goddess", on its third phase, where thick green diamonds are added to the blue- and yellow-colored waves, traveling outward at random points. Below sits the player character (and its hitbox) shooting focused with translucent explosive frogs, almost touching one of the diamonds in front of her.

And there we go, a not-so-scuffed Normal 1CC with this shot build right here, with five lives left to boot, after around two months' worth of playing (though late to the early-bird party)! G1 did wonders on making summoned pyramids easier to defeat, as well as […]

Other than the Ny and Tricent mkIII (two of Full Bucket's VST string synth emulations), what bothers me with most, if not all, of these VST string synths lately—especially those that don't rely on pure samples, is their lack of proper MIDI velocity features (volume, mostly) and CPU tax

Been thinking of translating the dialogues in HSiFS and FW into Cuyunon and Filipino, respectively, this late at night, the best I can

Problem is, I might also have to contend with the proliferation of trainwrecks of AI-made translations, often from people who know scant shit about the […]

Isang paspasang guhit sa journal book, ni Terra, isa sa mga bagong Sang'gre (at tapanga-alaga ng brilyante ng Lupa) mula sa teleseryeng "Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre", sa kanyang kasuotang panglakbay, at hawak ang kanyang sandata - isang pares ng kahoy na tungkod. Mapapansing magkahawig nang kaunti sa kasalukuyang estilo ni ZUN ang kanyang porma.

Bagong WIP ngayong gabi: Pa'no kung nasa Gensokyo ang ating mga bagong Sang'gre sa gitna ng unti-unti nilang pagbawi sa Encantadia?

Hindi ko pa naguguhit ang iba pang tatlo sa ngayon; nasa isip-isipan ko na nga itong crossover eh mula pa noong unang nabalita ang […]

And now we have just come full circle with the entire Deltarune-Touhou cross-inspiration, but through a work-in-progress fangame called DELTADREAMER…

…it's a boss rush up to CH2 at the moment.

And the art? Well, by the same one as Flickerflame Shutter Festival. Somehow they feel both a bit […]

Mukhang kaarawan nga naman ng mama ko ngayon.
Makulimlim, ngunit matiwasay hanggang hatinggabi.

Just had my mind quiver towards tenco's Touhou 20 video on Youtube recently—and one of the talking points he noted on was with the ideas of permanence and change, as Ariya and the Lunarians have shown, in their own sort-a ways.

Obviously, it's a question of "Do you still wanna cling on to your […]

And I just have listened to the preview vid for Exobolt's "012" compilation album (itself releasing on the 10th this month) earlier this morning, and most of it, although usual to my ears, were sure of the post-apocalyptic theming throughout, especially those two young dudes exploring it all.

Nailabas na rin ngayong gabi (hindi ngayong madaling-araw) ang mga resulta nung magkahiwalay na poll para sa FW (dahil umabot lang hanggang st3 boss ang nakaraang malakihang pop poll isang buwan na ang nakakalipas).

Si Yuiman ang bagong kinagigiliwan; naungusan si Nareko sa #3.

At mas bantog […]

Aside from that, I also have an upcoming Touhou spacesynth album come December, as well as a couple of unreleased originals, most of them from the ANV10 era. In fact, one of them is a five-person collab submission (though rejected) where we did the genre-mashup even more to our own best; come […]

Ah yes, #MusiciansDay today.

Welp, here goes mine—I typically mash genres when I can, and otherwise make tracker music on other days. Recently, I've been focusing much both on rhythm game and Touhou-style stuff, learning and iterating my own takes with whatever music software I have ATM. Below […]

Just this same morning, I found out one of my fellow musicians for our rejected ANV10 music submission (to be posted later on here) just dropped their gritty, almost lo-fi in tone, bootleg of lftkryo's "A Mind is Born", in the same limitation spirit as the original.
Fair warning though, it does […]

At upang mas mabuhayan ng loob ngayong anibersaryo ng Batas Militar sa 'Pinas at ng mga kilos-protesta ngayong araw, 'etong pambato natin sa pole vault na si Kuya EJ, dumaig sa mga dayuhang kalahok sa naturang patimpalak.

Handwritten protest sign I made for today's nationwide protests in the Philippines against those who benefitted from ghost projects and budget insertions. It reads in a mix of English and Tagalog: "Our mortal enemy, KAWAT'E! Are you watching?! Tignan mo ang dami ng proyekto't perang-bayan, mga pangarap at mga buhay sa lahat ng dako ng ating inang-bayan, kayong lahat na kinubra!!" in uppercase style; a tongue-in-cheek reference to the last line of dialogue Junko (the final boss in the dōjin shmup Touhou Kanjuden ~ Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom) utters before the fight.

[addtl. Martial Law declaration in the Philippines (53rd) anniversary]

Anong say niyo sa protest placard na 'to? Text lang ang hangganan, ngunit napapanahon pa rin.

Magbalik-tanaw nga tayo sa anong naganap nitong nakalipas na linggo:

- Back in town na si Terra
- Ang ikaapat na bagong Sang'gre, kahalintulad nung backstory ni Kai'Lea sa dating New Age
- Pinagtaksilan si Mitena ng kanyang mga heneral
- "we hardly knew ye" ang mga kambal-diwa ng mga Brilyante […]

Ako lang ba 'to, o mayroon pang iilang nasasabik sa rerelease nitong mapanigbughong pelikula na para bang salamin sa lagay ng ating bansa noon at ngayon? For real: nababasa ko lang at nahahagilap ang ilan sa mga shot rito (sa orihinal nitong anyo) isang dekada na ang nakakalipas…

#Philippines […]

May kulang na isang bagong Sang'gre, ngunit sa anyo ng isang nawalan ng kanyang ada
Bakit parang natutulad kina Junko si Mitena, ah, sa kabila ng mga kanyang-kanyang kapangyarihan? Puro poot ang dala?

Guess I'm also doing one for Ariya now, in my usual spacesynth flavor

A screencap taken off Fossilized Wonders, the 20th Touhou mainline game, showing a typical game over screen. Below the "Score Ranking!!" text is a highscore list, as well as a grid of characters for inputting the player name; at #1 is JWPH, with a score of 1,075,995,620 pts, ending in Stage 6. Blurred behind is "Danmaku Fossil", the final boss' 4th spellcard (out of a total of seven), on said difficulty. On the right is the shot build I used this Easy No-Bomb run: Y2 (crescent moon) on hyper, R2 (crimson diamond) on both focused and unfocused, and Y1 (topaz ore) on assist slots.

[Touhou 20 late-game spoilers]

Guess I'm not gonna reliably cap this tricky spellcard anytime soon; plus, it's a nearly-sure run-ender on all difficulties

Grabe… ngayon, napapaiyak na rin ako sa sinapit ni Yuiman sa kanyang nakaraan, at sa nagawa't posibleng kapalaran ni Toyohime sa kasalukuyan

Kinailangan ba talaga nilang gawin iyon sa kanya kahit na labag sa kalooban niya at ng kaibigan niyang si Iwanaaga-hime? At anong […]
