Wrote this for an album that the profit of goes to fighting Cancer.

Description at http://cancerdrive.org/ : This website is no longer working, but if you want to donate to fighting cancer, don't let that stop you! Google "donate to cancer research" and find a place in your area you can give to!

Songs for the Cure ’11 is the 4th compilation by the Indie Music Cancer Drive, an organization that coordinates the efforts and talents of performers and composers from across the world in order to raise money to fight cancer and give support to victims and their families. All of the music for each album is composed specifically or exclusively appears on its compilation, with the primary goal of raising money for the cause.

Intention was to just write a nice chilled tune with a bit of my own influences intertwined. Tags should relate to that pretty well.

Enjoy!

Songs For The Cure 2011 'One Note Edit'

This is a song about Bark Bark the dog's magical adventure. (made in LSDJ!)

Bark Bark!

A collaboration between me and my friend TJ! He sent me a recording of the ukulele and I added the rest in Logic. Featuring  vocals by his daughter Enellopi!

Under Water Temple

I hooked up my loop station to my Yamaha keyboard and messed around with different instruments to make a loop, then I solo'ed over it and stuff!!

Ploops

Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl. . .

And Steven.

Enjoy a new universe on me!

We Are The Crystal Gems (Beach City Night Sky Mix)

Haven't composed music in a while. Here's a goofy thing I made in GarageBand!

Get Back Into It

Fall Is Almost Over

I found this song I made in June 2013. I don't remember making it.

Woowoo 2013

I made some music, I hope it’s cool. Is this cool?

Is This Cool?

Waiting for nothing 
only to find
the sweet relief

that nothing was here all along

Waiting For Nothing

All the end credits songs(save for one, which was almost identical to another save for a light bass in the background) from Steven Universe. I believe all individual versions are called "Love Like You", with varying subtitles. Composed by Aivi Tran and Steven "Surasshu" Velema. Vocals by Rebecca Sugar.

Love Like You

I recorded this acoustic version of Rose's theme for the end of Story for Steven! (It's a little hard to hear in the episode mix which just has the rhythm guitar beneath the dialogue.)

Rose's Theme Acoustic

Wrote the chiptune part a while ago. I finally recorded some guitar and put it all together!
LSDJ + electric guitar

Tumbling Down

I wrote this song like four or five years ago? Trying to practice singing.

Something about the space between
The blankets on your bed
Something about the way we feel
When we see the color red
Something about somebody
Who sometimes acted like someone
There must be something in the air that's keeping me
From getting anything done

I'd like to take it easy
But there's so much stuff to do
I'll blame it on the weather
I'll blame it on you

It's too damn cold to wake up
I roll over and close my eyes
Like some kind of cold-blooded reptile
Curl up and stay inside
Or it's too damn hot
To stay standing
I could shrivel up and die
In a puddle of perspiration
Beneath a blisteringly pretty blue sky

I feel a bit distracted
I think I'll drink a cup of tea
I'll blame it on the weather
I'll blame it on me

Blame It On The Weather

"K.K. Cruisin' (Interstate 5)"
aivi & surasshu
originally composed by Kazumi Totaka
from the game Animal Crossing

aivisura liner notes:

- We love Totaka!
- We worked on this remix in between projects for a year.
- When we lived in separate countries, we played Animal Crossing: New Leaf together all the time, and went to K.K. Slider concerts on Saturdays. We requested "K.K. Cruisin'" every time.
- We started this remix in an attempt to answer the question, "Why is K.K. Cruisin' so great?" After listening to it and studying it, we determined that, for us, the heart of the song was its groove. The same five chords repeat throughout the entire song (five extremely creative chords--Mr. Totaka is always a step ahead of us all), and it never changes in rhythm or energy level. We used that concept as the main inspiration for our arrangement, where instead of ramping up the energy for the chorus like we'd normally do, we pulled back and settled into a comfortable groove. Keeping "still" was a big exercise in confidence for both of us.
- We named our remix after the road trips we'd take together down I-5, between San Francisco and LA. Those trips felt like mini-vacations for us (though we still worked on the road and in our hotel room) and making this song has been a mini-vacation for us, too.

Animal Crossing - K.K. Cruisin' (Interstate 5)

reverse loops + improv guitar and throat noises

My first project made in Logic! I just purchased the program and started blindly making tracks. This is what happened.

NEWTHINGS

This is one of the first chiptune compositions I made! Made three years ago in Milkytracker. Haha I had no understanding of mixing when I made this so it's pretty jam-packed with sound.

blueberries

I haven't composed anything in a while so I just sat down and pooped this one out. Sometimes poop is fun!

Beach Distraction

I made this (holy crap) almost three years ago. I imagine it's the soundtrack to a cave setting. A cave full of shiny and scary things.

Shinyscary

Weird Romance

Here's a chiptune-y cover of Two weeks by Grizzly Bear!!! Made in Milkytracker!!

TWEAKS (Two Weeks by Grizzly Bear)

My first finished cover of a song in LSDJ on an actual Gameboy!
