Name: Crash Crushed by Aaron Sharpes
Duration: 3 min 12 s
Description: Baasically what it sounds like. This is music for people who know what it's like to be crashed and crushed and crushd.

The distance between the messages gets to me.
Even though you can't see me,
Know that I am right here,
And I don't want to hurt you.

I want to be your blanket.
When you're scared, you can run to me and hide beneath the sheets.
Too far away to feel your hands,
Though I've traced them in my sleep.

I know everything is harder without family,
So you can lean on me.

Let yourself depend on someone other [than you].

I don't want to take a step back now, while we're so close.
Though the distance is hard on me.

Hypothetically, if we name this thing that we're feeling-
Would you be able to let me help you up?

You said, "maybe, I dunno".

The distance between the messages gets to me.
Even though you can't see me,
Know that I am right here,
And I don't want to hurt you.

We could be stable, despite our insecurities.
You've been a positive change in my life since I met you.
So for now, I'm not going to over-think you.

I know that we're both tempted to over-analyze.
But if we're both living in the future, we'd probably miss something we'd like.
Just try not to squeeze too hard, and also not to pull away,
There's a balance to remember.
Trust yourself and trust each other.

Crash Crushed

Burn

>> memory corrupt

Ambient dungeon music.

True story: I wrote the original version of this song as a Fasttracker MOD file back in the early 1990s.  It was fun recreating it in a proper DAW about two decades later.

Game Soundtracks

Dungeon Ambient

Opening/menu music for a Space-based educational game I made called "Math Attack!".

(but to be honest, I don't know if it still works or not)

Math Attack Soundtrack

Orbital Maneuvers

This is the theme music for the main menu in Mythruna.  It will also be used for incidental music in the game.

Mythruna Menu Theme

This is the song I did for the "Maximum Power" music weeklies challenge.  I immediately thought "cheesy anime theme song"... and so that's what I came up with.  This challenge also had a collaboration component so I teamed up with @SpungeeGoodness who inspired the opening guitar riff.

Level Up

Another Music Weeklies submission.  This one is for the "Random Samples" theme where we were given a collection of random public domain samples to turn into music.  (This song has lyrics but I couldn't record them because that wouldn't be one of the samples.)  It's channeling a bit of the 80s kid in me.

The mix is not great but I'm out of time.  The drums are way too "scooped" at the moment... but it is what it is.

Samples I chopped up and used:

Turnabout(Feel For You)

This Music Weeklies #ChainedTogether challenge entry is a team-up with @trommelfell-mb.  I started the ball rolling with a jazzy piece that he had to take unmodified and continue.  Turned out pretty well, in the end.

For my own part, I was using it as an excuse to work on jazz piano voicings as I've been spending most of the last few years on guitar and the piano skills have suffered.  It was important to me to play the piano parts without cut-pasting... so it took me probably 100 tries.  I think my family was worried I'd had a stroke or something.
