critical reception is that i should not go this simplistic but stay edgy, after 2 days of reviews

Strugglers is roughly anything with less than 350 plays so far.

My Strugglers

Amateurish stuff about the Silmarillion, no intent to infringe JRRT

Performed by myself in December of 2022 on a Roland FA-08 from memory by ear with no sheet music, as one track with 2 hands.  Original composition, but not monetizing this because I dont wan't New Line or Tolkien Estate to come crush me.
Finrod+Galadriel has to do with the passage in the Silmarillion where Finrod tells Galadriel things are about to go badly.
The following paraphrase:
"Now Finrod Felagund had no wife, and Galadriel asked why this should be."
"And Finrod answered: 'An oath I too must swear, and be free to fulfill it, and go into darkness.  Nor shall anything of my realm endure that a son should inherit.' 
"

Games feat LIL ALLOTIC

Extended of Upside to Manlet Existence.
Part 5 of the DistroKid Requirement Expansions.

Which was challenging because the base tune is kind of way shorter than 1 minute which is what DistroKid sets as a minimum.
But I had some real fun with this one.  First time that I inserted an extra beginning rather than an ending (which also got extended)

Other Duties As Assigned

The Middle Eight of Mach Rider's Main Tune for original 8-bit NES.

All rights reserved to Nintendo and the original composer (Hideki Kanazashi)
No intent to infringe, free track for all.

Middle 8 is kind of a misnomer it's longer than 8 measures but it's accurate enough as "the part you don't normally hear until you're advanced into something"  As this tune only played if you were at least 8 courses into the game's progression.  When the ruins are replaced by futuristic buildings on the horizon.

Dedicated to all of those who are headed either direction on I-5 into Seattle at around exit 190's ish not really obeying 80 MPH in the left lane.  We know who you are.  A significant fraction of you are humming exactly this portion.

Performed manually without any arpeggiation, from memory.  It's a little glitchy but it's the fondness for it that counts.

Mach Rider Middle Eight

Just an ambient stroll.  Seeing if I can stay on the rails with something more repetitive.  People ask me if I do -only- chaotic.

07-23: that seems to have backfired, my soundcloud followers went down a little and I got a bit of criticism for Not taking risks.
So maybe I go back to staying Edgy which was what people liked about me.

Above it

Didn’t exactly know what genre to put this into it’s got a glitchy garage heart but also notes of RNB and HIP HOP but at the same time it could be seen as dance is some peoples eyes 👀

The Fire We Chose

I made this track for 2025 Halloween, I hope you will enjoy it! :)

That's a preview of a original composition with more bass work in the track than usual. Not yet finshed. Let me know what you think of it. It's a "work in progress track". ;)

Welcome to my kingdom Musical Paradise. This is a kingdom where everybody's talent is being showcased to the world. How this kingdom was found is when Offspring and the gang was storming through a forest. He heard some very colorful noises and decided to check it out. As he found the source of the noise, he heard a band playing some colorful tunes. Offspring grew curious about how was they doing it so he decided to ask one of the band members if he could play his keyboard. They all approved and Adollaspring asked him, "dude do you even know how to play a sound?" They all laughed at his joke while Offspring response was "no but I'm finna learn today!" With excitement in his tone, he stared pressing different keys hearing them make different sounds. So of course every inexperienced piano-est press every key on the keyboard sounding very terrible. The band member was gonna stop him until a shocking event happened. As Offspring kept on playing, Offspring original form was turning lighter and lighter and that's not all. He even started to play better, so better he even made a never unheard of sound. Everybody in the venue was admiring his sound. Hell, even Onslaught decided to chime in with him and play the drums. Adollaspring played the guitar, spawn was on saxophone and hollowspring was playing the villein. All of them played in sync creating the most magical song of all time. Everybody's soul was being turned to their aura, their spirits was flying across the sky, even the Walking Onslaughts form changed to a musical guardian. All of them stopped playing and saw the magic with everybody. The lead singer ask "Dude........ how... how did you do that?" Offspring response " I don't know, it was like the music was in my soul. Like..... I was in a musical paradise." As those words went out of his mouth, Two musical guardians appeared in his presence. Offspring said "who the hell are you guys?" guardian "we are the musical guardians, and what you just did was unlocked your hidden power via sound, and we want you to be our God. We'll even grant you your own kingdom." At first they was suspicious about it, then they talked more in dept about it and Offspring agreed to their offer. Years down the line, they made the most colorful sounding kingdom of all time. To this day, more and more selective people are joining the kingdom. Who knew music could be so powerful.


#OffspringMysterious #WalkingOnslaughts #MusicalParadise

Musical Paradise

A therapeutic journey into a mix of jazz, classical, and a blend of types of electronica.  And a wry, gradual observation that promotion tends to only go as far as you push it.  At least I make my fellow musicians laugh a little.
