"I am so going to upload tracks faster" - Famous Last Words of NeRd, 2016.

(I didn't actually die, for the record.)

Super World Maker Deluxe (TM)

I haven't even played Lotus Land Story.

Remix of the Touhou song and the fan made version, using the PC98 Sample Pack by trepmaws062.

This in no way keeps to the restrictions of the YM2608, or the YMF288, or the YM2203 for that matter.

Bad Apple !! (PC98 Remix... of a PC98 song)

I'm not sure what genre this is, please help.

Big thanks to Charlie (https://soundcloud.com/swampymoo) for letting me steal him for the guitar solo that I decided was integral to the track obviously. You should listen to his music too.

Also thanks to David for making this version of the NeRd logo about 2 years ago for something else I was working on.

(BudgetPCsAustralia is allowed to use this song in their video, they checked with me beforehand.)

EDIT: School's just about over so I might post more from now on, but I'm actually in the process of packing for moving to another country right now, so we'll see how it goes.

Business casual (ft. Swampymoo)

I found an old portable mono reel-to-reel recorder in a antique store recently with some tapes, so obviously I had to use this high-tech device in a piece. I wasn't able to for some time because I've moved country (surprise) but now that I've settled in expect more music. Or maybe not, because school starts tomorrow. 
Vocal samples from said tapes.

Dead zone

I haven't really done much for awhile. so I figured I'd do something completely different to get my creators block out of the way. And it worked! This is somewhat unfinished, but I though I might as well post it.

For anyone wondering why I haven't done anything for awhile, I'm actually working on finishing a album / ep thing made out of the best of my tracks. I'm having to m a s t e r all my old tracks that are bad (and I definitely not a expert or good at it!), which is taking a while. Also school sucks at the moment, as I've just moved countries, and the new school system is hella weird. Hopefully it'll come out soon, and then I'll get back to making things at a normal rate!

Also sorry for the comparatively low levels, forgot to amplify before posting.

Orchestra test (Legend of Zelda rip off)

Here is another iOS project that was recently re-looked at by me. I hope it's ok??? 

BTW if y'our'e reading this, you're either Charlie or someone who wants more content. Please feel free to check out my other channel (it's in the links section)! I'm actually somewhat active there.

Rise up

We're doing movie scoring in music class, and a scene had someone playing a video game resembling Mega Man. I probably should have just used music from Mega Man, but instead I made a full length (not accurate to NES hardware) chiptune for a scene that lasts like 20 seconds.

BONUS - Extra snippets of alternate tunes at my alt account!

NES minitune

I SWEAR I'LL UPLOAD MORE SOON, JUST GOTTA FINISH SCHOOL FOR THE TERM

Checking out more Kontakt / VST stuff. Expect more stuff in a week-ish.

Fresh (preview?)

One of my contributions to cool and new music team's Homestuck Volume 11. If you don't know what Homestuck is, and you don't read Cool and New webcomic you are probably really confused, so go do that. Check out the buy link for even more (better) tracks (not made by me)!

Homestuck Volume 11

Your (Quest) Bed

NeRd is back, baby!

...for real? Who knows!

A new year, a new song. I'm trying to commit to posting more often now, I got caught up with ungodly amounts of school stuff, which shouldn't happen again. I have no idea if this sort of music is my new style, but it's what I've made! This may be the first time I've ever had the excuse to put (fake) gated reverb on a cowbell, and how could I resist the opportunity?

(reuploaded due to uploading the wrong track lmao)

Mr Cool

Got some new virtual synths and libraries I wanted to test out, so I made this, and it turns out I have managed to actually justify a purchase for once??? Wow, I need to buy more useless junk to make up for this.

This was blatantly inspired by Skaven252, an amazing musician who made the soundtrack to most of the bejewelled games, made some music for some cool PC demos in the 90s and also did some other cool things, please follow him as he is great.

A spacefaring world

Happy 4/13 everyone! Here's to hoping we get the epilogue later! Also, free downloads for this track, yeah!

EDIT: Here's to hoping we get more epilogue content later! Also 🥩 all the way.

I'm sorry I wasn't able to throw together a 4/13 shitpost for this year as I ran out of time. I've reposted Karkalicious to my second account as by way of apologies. I hope you understand.

This remix is dedicated to George Buzinkai.

EDIT: Dammit, I should have called this Doctor (10 years older remix) but I like the current name as well.

Happy 4/13! - Doctor (Bring the funk remix)

I tend to dump random musical ideas here. Also now a member of Cool and New Music Team??? Hope you enjoy!

I often start things and never finish them, so quite a few previews here will be abandoned. Most of them have been moved to my secondary account, so you can check that out if you want to.
