every summer, my family and i would travel to an island to visit my surrogate grandparents.

i had this image in my brain of the island being the most perfect place on the planet. but when i returned there years later, i came to realize that such a place had never existed.

the land itself, the nature, was still beautiful, but the inhabitants were corrupting it. it wasn’t the haven that i remembered, except for my surrogate grandparents, who remain the light of the island.

i still love the island, but my idea of it has eroded. nothing is perfect.

this album is a bittersweet ode to a beloved place that has become unfamiliar over time.

dedicated to Judy and Stan.

green (feat. Max Morkri, Michaela Nachtigall)

latter half of my 2017/2018 "opus" that i never really posted

The cover is not a real album, just something I mocked up in Procreate.

Get the Funk

Just a short little thing I did while out of town for 2 days.

Focus

Trying to make an AnimalCrossing-sounding track. No actual AC instruments used, just some MIDI sounds and old drum machine samples and some synths. I think it gets close!

Stag Beetle

Well, here's another YM2151 FM track I did in Deflemask. I'm quite happy with how this turned out. It took me a few days working on it to finish it but I think the end result was worth it. Hope you guys dig it as much as I do. Thanks for listening :). Grab the mp3 here: http://battleofthebits.org/arena/Entry/Time+Fracture+%28YM2151%29/25479/

Grab the mp3 on BOTB!
