A track from my album Pulse of the Machine:
https://djtransaction.bandcamp.com/album/pulse-of-the-machine-album Made entirely on my Roland Fantom. No samples, no computer, pure synthesizer workstation. This is the 3rd synth pop song in my album. It is supposed to sound cute and melodic.

Submission to Impressions Mystery Jam #1 hosted by KaleOverlord for Itch.IO June 2025

Instrumental chronicling when Barozek was training with Krodar in Settlestone's Citadel area, before getting whisked away from Jord, later to return to Old Thalos.

The loop end-point is simply the end of the piece, it is intended to cleanly loop to the piece's start.

Long-awaited remaster of We'll Let You Scream To The Void after more than a year.  Required significant timing edits and now sounds less hesitant.

We'll Let You Scream To The Void (Alpha Remaster)

Have my misgivings about this beta (which is how it got not-called-an-alpha) but maybe a new segment of people will like it better than the original.  Stranger things have happened.  The thing is the pitch bending was done by typing the semitones once i got the first segment done off the FA-08 then the last 4/5 was deleted from original except the outro.  so because it cycles +3 each it does come back to non-scratchy at the end (because its same-tone repeat) then outro was unaffected.  But sounds scratchy in the middle. (on PC speakers. a little better with earbuds thru an mp3 player).

Clean alpha remaster where i didn't break anything (or if it's broken it's really subtle)

I Believe You Promised Me Unpleasantness (Alpha Remaster)

Alpha remaster of what was originally release #182, often these get slightly less corrections toward the end of the piece but I tried to maintain discipline - it's a long tune.

Submission for Composer Weekend Jam #2 hosted by Joe Chris / ScoringTech.NET for Itch.IO June 2025

Hastily done in 4 hours.  Kinda reflects that fact.  It might get tuned up more before the Game Jam for the corresponding game (in which the ship with the Dogs is the Game-End boss, a shmup with a Cat protagonist) reaches the deadline.

The track art is crude pixel art from asset packs cobbled together but it's not AI.

It's going to be the sprite of the Dog-Ship in the game at the end of the game tomorrow.

There is a thing in MuseScore where the instruments are, sometimes for complex synth pieces, pre-figured out -for- you, for play in the application and online with just "Grand Piano" for all the instruments, they would be inaccurate instruments anyway because MuseScore has neither my software synth instruments in MixCraft 10.6 Pro Studio nor does it have Roland FA-08's like 3,500 instruments. Just bear it in mind and use it only for the base note values and durations.

"It's Time To Get Catty!"

Sort of an imagining of a weird level of Marble Madness 3 had it followed Marble Madness 2's prototype, say 2 years later in 1993.

Completely nonmonetized free track for all, no intent to infringe.

It -could- have been mastered carefully but this performance was just a quick one to get it out and tease Sisi on Twitter with lolz so it's a measure of how fast I can put something just off hearing it with no reading sheet music

Buntline’s Overcompensated Six-Shooter Rag submission for Weekly Note Composing Jam #25 hosted by emscottish for Itch.IO July 2025

the text prompt for the jam was simply "Old Saloon"

And so a honky tonk piano seemed logical along with banjo approximately.

This Gamma Remaster uses entirely Mixcraft Software Synth instruments hence terming it "Akai Beta" because when dealing with Mixcraft i use my 25-key dummy MIDI keyboard instead of the FA-08

A Shiny Non-Euclidean Sarabande - submission for Composer Weekend Jam #3 hosted by Joe Chris of ScoringTech.NET for Itch.IO July 2025 – exedexes1

I'm getting called on the carpet by the music theorists for inaccurately (randomly) naming it a Sarabande, and they're right.  Nuff said lol.

The music jam prompt was to go find a piece of graphic art and be inspired by it.
I chose to take a tour of being slightly influenced (for 4-5 seconds each and then to veer away sharply) from various Classical Composers.
as follows:

1. Dieterich Buxtehude (c. 1637–1707):
Canzonetta in A Minor BuxWV 225
Toccata in D BuxWV 155

the only composer where I used more than one piece this evening.
I spent about 3 hours on this overall submission.

2. Gioseffo Zarlino (1517–1590).

Veni sancte spiritus, motet

3. Johann Pachelbel (1653–1706).

Praeludium in D.

Johann Sebastian Bach (1685–1750).
I actually did skip JSB its already evident my entire corpus of output is already heavily influenced.

4. François Couperin (1668–1733).

Ordre 12 in E or E-, 8.L'Atalante

5. Jean-Baptiste Lully (1632–1687).

Les folies d’espagne,

6. Georg Philipp Telemann (1681–1767).

36 Fantaisies for Harpsichord, TWV33, No.13 in C-

7. Johann Joseph Fux (1660–1741).

Grave, for 2 trombones

8. Domenico Scarlatti (1685–1757).

Sonata in C-, K.99, L.317, P.135, F.57, Allegro

9. Jean-Philippe Rameau (1683–1764).

Nouvelles suites de pièces de clavecin, Suite in G/G- - 6.Les Sauvages

A Shiny Non-Euclidean Sarabande submission for Composer Weekend #3 for Itch.IO July 2025

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.
