Thinking about that time my mom asked me unironically "do you guys get The YouTubes?"

On any other Thursday in October Are you naked behind those dreams; Waiting for no one to come inside and dismantle your reflection Are you safe behind the painted window frame? warping in the memory of raindrops taking their last breaths against the memory of your own Are you singing underneath your whispering words; “Let me out, Let me be. Let me be free” This pane has seen the seasons fighting for its turn, darkened by days of drooping eyes observing quietly in apathy. Are you silent for the things you wish you said? Will you let the weeping willows have their dances in your stead? - Caleb Myers

Depression is not sadness. It is nothing. it is acceptance, in all the worst ways. Depression is the trash lining the halls beside the dirty laundry. counting every breath, not entirely anticipating the next. it’s mixing desires with needs, and passions dying to passivity. Depression is soiled bedsheets stained with days that felt like hours and hours that felt like weeks, Waiting for emotion. Depression is feigning happiness, and feeling guilty for believing it. it is all you are until it passes.

I just remembered all these poetry/art promo thingies I made for my Facebook audience back when I considered myself more of a writer than a composer. I'll start sharing them here periodically, starting with this one which is relevant to my current state.

I always forget how great Parker Posey is in Josie and the Pussycats

It actually blows my mind how many musicians are streaming-only. I don't use streaming services, so if I can't buy and download your music drm-free, I'm not listening to it. And as a musician myself, it just makes sense to give your potential listeners as many routes as possible.

If you actually think MAGA give a single whiff of a fuck about the Epstein files you're delusional. Trump could be #1 at the top of the list and they'd still defend him.

"Murmurs" Listening Party Join me, episode_81, for a late-night listening party on the night of the release. Grab your friends and your pillow and relax and chat as we listen to my newest collection of ambient soundscapes.

Listening party for my new ambient album "Murmurs" begins in ~15 minutes. Be there or be...not there. episode81.bandcamp.com/live/murmurs...

It's so fucking tiring being American

Legendary Final Fantasy Composer Nobuo Uematsu says he’s never used generative AI, and never will.

"I think it still feels more rewarding to go through the hardships of creating something myself."

"Murmurs" Listening Party from episode_81 Listening Party from episode_81.

episode81.bandcamp.com/merch/murmur...

Hey ambient fans! My new album "Murmurs" comes out October 27th, and the listening party is at 10pm EST on the day of the release. I love these album release/listening parties because I can connect with friends and fans alike. It's been almost a year since my last one so this is important to me.

Looking for environmental artists as well as props. We don't need character artists, unfortunately.

Unfortunately not, we're all hobbyists who just like to make games.

Thanks for the overwhelming response to my call for artists! Submissions are now closed; I have to sift through all these requests and there's only so much time in the world.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention, I've made them public now.

Looking for Unity devs for a survival horror game jam I'm working on...we have a writer, 3D artist, programmer, and a composer/writer (me) but we are looking for help on the 3D art/programming side to get stuff done before the deadline October 28th. DM if interested.

Baked* Potatoes, sorry

I don't understand why people like baled potatoes when every preperation I can think of is superior. Fried, potato pancakes, hasbrowns, scalloped, potato salad, gnocchi, au gratin, and of course, boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew.

Until I can get @fantano.bsky.social, @derrickgee.bsky.social, or the gang at @hearingthingsco.bsky.social to talk to me about my music, I am asking YOU to hit me with just three questions about my forthcoming EP (which I will send you for free if you ask)!

That's cool as hell! I've been thinking about releasing a sample pack for all the SFX I've compiled for the past few game jams I've been involved in. Was it as difficult as I imagine?

Imposter syndrome rears its hideous head. Too many things in my life to even think about composing and when I do everything I write goes straight in the trash. I have four different albums in different states of completion and it feels like they'll never be finished at this rate.

So you're telling me this ISN'T Take Me Home, Country Roads?

Unnaturalia (Original Soundtrack), by episode_81 3 track album

Released the soundtrack to a game I was working on until recently. Just a title, ambient exploration and end theme, but the bulk of my work was on SFX. It's stuck in development hell and hopefully we'll see a release eventually.

If you get upset about being cut off at a bar/restaurant, there's probably a reason you were cut off.

Proud to be an American, but ashamed of my country. Happy 4th.

I'm tired, boss.
