The conclusions they come to are rather fascinating, but the sensible one must keep the naive one from going too far too fast. For fear he will miss something fundamental to living.

PlatineDispositifさんのNintendo Switch・PS4アクションゲーム「メイドさんを右に ミ☆」より、ステージ2BGMです。

洞窟を下っていくというコンセプトなので、そのあたり意識してサウンドメイクしました。
また、せっかくアクションゲームなので気持ちはガンガン進んでくぜ！というようなカッコイイサウンドに仕立てました。
個人的に今回のサントラのなかで1・2を争うお気に入りの曲です。

バイオリンの演奏は松本一策さん。ありがとうございました！

happy new year everyone!

in 2021, i graduated in june with a BS in chemistry and soon after began working at my first full-time professional job. clearly, the past five years of undergrad put a strain on my will to continue the music i've been making since middle school, and keeping up with the online communities i've embraced pretty much since then as well.

i've known full-well that even during my years of pseudo-inactivity, music is something that i will return to time and time again as my passion, no matter how often it waxes and wanes.

being 23 now, change is a very frequent part of my life in pretty much all facets i can think of, which is as exciting as it is chaotic. this year, i hope to rely on music to ground me in my personal chaos, as it's been a comfort of mine that i've indulged in since the age of 11. even after straying away, coming back to OpenMPT never feels foreign.

this year i will devote more time to my music endeavors. working a 9-5 makes me realize how valuable my time is; how i need to really block out time to sit down and create amid balancing my work life, social life, and sleep. it's been a challenge so far, but still very manageable, and fun! it's quite rewarding to have it all feel adequately balanced.

new years is probably my favorite holiday, for symbolizing a fresh start which encourages change. the identity of a musician is something i've shied away from in recent years, and i aim to change that this year. so let me hold myself accountable in this statement, and please enjoy this little tune :-) i think i doodled up the main melody for this song sometime in like 2019, so it's been a long time coming!!! (i think i actually started truly composing a song out of it in december though :P)

thank you all for your continued support and encouragement. every little snippet i've posted on twitter, and occasional OHC upload over the past period of general inactivity has been met with excitement and anticipation for more music to come. it truly touches me to see it, and it only motivates me to keep on at it.

★ SPRING TRACKS VI ★

Plastic Waltz

Music I wrote for this Global Game Jam 2018 game that you can play here!: http://www.matthewgatland.com/ggj2018/

Once again of course each track was each written in only a few hours.

The game's by Sergio Cornaga and Matthew Gatland, inspired heavily by the strange old DOS roguelike game "Moraff's Dungeons of the Unforgiven"

Did a VERY fakebit "2op fm on steroids + [other random stuff that makes no sense to be in a fake dos game]" style. I kind of regret not going full authentic opl2/opl3 for this, since I totally could've, but maybe I'll do arrangements in those formats sometime in the future~! (maybe)

I'm a huge fan of the GUST Sound Team, so this is my homage to them. Please enjoy!

Aloft In The Wind

"If you squeeze me, I'll squeak!" *squeaks*

my entry for sample pack contest 13!  It got 11th place out of 72!!!

My silly commentary:

"Hai! ^^ Wanna play with me?! *squeaks!* i make a great friend!!!! : D I love to play with my friends! I'll be your best friend,,,,,,FOR ETERNITY > : ) *squeezes you TIGHT and eternally binds your soul to PAIN HELL DARKNESS REALM LABYRINTH 634b_5_3208h.5s{{{{{*

i was disappointed in this song because I had wanted to make a "CORRUPTED CUTE PLUSH TOY FRI3ND THAT DEVOURS YOUR SOUL" theme___d song for like years, and this did not turn out really much like anyth1ng I had in mind D: so i got very sad : ( especially as I feel i fell back on too many "chimeratio default traits" when I had wanted to write something that tried a lot of new things. but I still had fun making a fun song ^^

it was also my first time using a new setup where my BIG keyboard can be used to record live-played things into the inside of my computer :O i have done things like this before very VERY occasionally but only using my tiny midi keyboard that is much harder to play. the majority of the track at any given moment has at least one component at least partially involving things I was playing live and that is cool to finally be able to do more conveniently than in the past!! Ironically i went for quite mechanical and artificial stuff that probably sounds more computer input sequenced than most of my actually sequenced music! (a running theme with whenever i do this kinda thing it seems) mostly i just spammed transposing sus2 stabs and quartal/quintal runs hehe...but it was still fun!

this was inspired by various music I enjoy such as "Mad Buffoon" (aka Paradox) by Hitoshi Sakimoto from the video game "Sword Maniac". and also "Naughty Oaf Isle" by Shnabubula......and i intended to reference Hitomi Sato's cute quirky BEEP COMPUT3R JAZZ style here but didn't really get a chance to. AND Jethro Tull "Batteries Not Included" in concept. The end result does n0t really sound like any of these songs : ( but i hope my fun friends can still enjoy the song that I have made ^^"
