You sense the opening...

You've traversed to this space several times now.
Instead of becoming more familiar, it's only deepened in mystery.
It's in equal parts awe and curiosity that you decide...
to step into the realm.

Getting lost in the atmosphere of Liquid Drum and Bass... 💎🌊

Largely inspired by Seba, as well as Tayla, LTJ Bukem, and Wax Doctor.

Amethyst

⋆.˚🐠‧₊ _Frutiger Aero inspired music!_ ˚✩ ₊˚🫧⊹♡

Late 2000s tech had a unique vibrancy that made it feel almost magical. A new wave of color and light, glowing portals that illuminated worlds imagined and real. It was truly alive, how you interacted with it was so novel. More intuitive than ever before.

The anticipation for this promised future was at it's strongest as you began to load up that new system you brought home. Powering it on. Walking through the startup process. Being greeted to something wholly new...

SkyBox

A love letter to burning CDs in the 2000s.

I had such a blast making the playlists, swapping them with my friends, curating songs for their taste, and then hand drawing some album art on notebook paper in sharpie. Goooood times.

My Mix CD

Cool guitar driven music for hot summer days.

Largely inspired by the great Masayoshi Takanaka.

Snow Cones

A veil of darkness spreads across the land and lakes. Barbarian Coyotes have begun pillaging the nests of innocent folk. You play as the chosen duck! An unlikely hero who must overcome his own fears and hoards of enemies. Embark on a quest to reclaim the three MacGuffins and restore balance to the world!

Inspired by Yasunori Mitsuda and Nobuo Uematsu's music from Chrono Trigger.

Super Duck RPG

Collectathon Island's magical power-orbs have been scattered all over the place! We need a lovable 3D anthropomorphic mascot to use their signature jumping and running abilities to return them all.

Inspired by Richard Jacques, David Wise, and countless summers playing platformers.

Jam 3D

Lucy's been listening to my teenage emo CDs! Now she's all moody.

Dog Angst

Celebrating the arrival of spring! I've always loved how these two flowers speckle the hills and fields this time of year.

Flowers

In search of treasure, encounters with the mystics, following the omens. 🐪

Desert

Video Game inspired Drum and Bass! Influenced by Soichi Terada and Jun Chikuma.

Space Cowboy Forrest Frog pilots his galaxy F-5 aircraft in search of the Hyper Fragment — a now rare material used to power warp speed travel. A group called the Black Hole Herons has aggressively taken control over the mines in the Lake Lenticular Galaxy, and there's only one gunman for the job!

Space Frog 64

Music somewhere between ambient classical and winter lofi.

Scenes between the warmth of a fireplace in winter and hearing the howling wind of a storm late at night.

Inspired by Snail's House, Sigur Rós, and Brazilian pianist Fábio Caramuru.

'Tis the season for walking trails and folkin'! 🍂

Cinnamon

For those buoyant feelings — suspended in air and under water ☁️ 🌊

Floating

My favorite lesson from learning to draw so far: gesture and rough outlines can be even more expressive than the final clean up.

So hey, here is that in music through quick improvs and hasty recordings!

Sketches

An adventure into the wooded grove 🌲🍃

Playing with a few sounds from Ocarina of Time and Chrono Trigger!

Forest

Gusts of white, clouds on the ground and in the sky ❄️🌨

Playing around with synths! Some light house music with drum and bass.

Whiteout

Bring on the clear skies and open windows! ☀️

Spring

Backyard

Bloom

April Showers

Time Is On My Side

Reveries on guitar. Improvising with gestures, harmonies, and melodic lines.

What better way to start a new year than with some dreaming?

Cover art by the unbelievably talented Calvin Wong! ([Web](https://calvin-wong.com/) | [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/calvin.camera/))

Meditations

Happy Holidays!

George Michael's classic and a winding, wintery piano improv for traveling home.

Let's see if I decide to continue the trend of making my Dog Lucy the cover art for all of my music!

Last Christmas

Covering cartoon and video game music! A few new, and some old tracks that have been kicking around for a while.

This also marks a year of making these little albums, and I think that's swell!

Covers

Fall, y'all! 🍂

Lots of spices going on — Folk, jazz, spooks, and piano improv. Not to mention my (pretty crunchy) singing!

Debuting my old timey singing here, too! Harvest Day is a song I wrote for a PRETTY COOL 7 year old!

Turning Leaves

I wrote music for (and developed!!) a game!

AC: New Murder is a murder-mystery who-dun-it in the style of Phoenix Wright, featuring characters from Animal Crossing. The story and art are done by my sister Jenn. I developed the game for web browsers and built out all things software related. Oh, and I wrote the music!

Each character in the game has a pretty distinct theme and personality, with music to match! All of the music is original - but definitely inspired by other games. Video game music has been a big inspiration in my own writing, so it was a blast writing music for one! (Not to mention PRETTY WILD to develop a full on game!)

AC: New Murder Soundtrack

Summerrrrr!!! I'll miss you. 👋 Here are some send off jams.

ALSO! I'm excited to be debuting some of my guitar playing on this one!

Island

Quirky midi music! Inspired by [Tamara Shopsin's LaserWriter II](https://tamarashopsin.com/lw2/) — and the reliable Macintosh repair shop the novel is based on.

The book features a real rag-tag bunch of characters. Philosophical printer parts, a virtuoso violinist, master repair nerds, and garage band musicians to name a few. I wanted to capture some of my favorite personalities here!

Tek Serve

A short EP of [digital fusion](https://www.digifumusic.com/digifu-eng) nocturnes.

The full moon is hitting me pretty hard, lol! This album was inspired by last month's Strawberry Moon — and those moments where time seems to stand still.

Lunar

couple of songs from before the move!

a poppy synth jam for spring time. and a cover — super mario 64 meets amélie, lol

Spectrum

Dreamy atmospheres capturing my time living in North Austin.

It's bittersweet to be moving! Lots of magic has happened here for the last couple of years. Old dreams realized and new ones started!

Walnut Creek

Songs for early memories.

Daydreaming about playful years. exploring the space between then and now.

Childhood

Latin and jazz grooves for tropical travel and endless summers.

Some songs were written back around July last year, when I was listening to lots of Leon Chang and Louie Zong — and actually sweating from the heat!

Noodle Bird

icy synth sounds for cold weather.

Most songs in the style of some of my favorite digital fusion musicians — Maxo, Floor Baba, and Joshua Morse.

Snow Bear

Short, peaceful little sketches.

Little bit of inspiration from Andrew Bird, hiking along rivers, and a pokemon quote for good measure.
