Spindrift - First BHSA Music Jam hosted by Skitto/BHSA for Itch.IO

Mostly an ambient piece about the beach setting in the visual prompt for the jam.  I stay mostly quiet, but it is, after all, me.

The even-numbered Broken Telephone game jams on Itch.IO take the art competition from the previous odd-numbered B.T. game jam as the prompt for inspiring the music composing, as text it was called "at the tavern"

Kaleidoscopic Revelry Riff submission for Broken Telephone 4 Jam hosted by cjee246 for Itch.IO

Okay this one goes way back because the original instrumental track is only the -sixth- in the line up (VI) released in March 2023.
I assert that fact that the original is so tiny, it doesn't really violate the originality restrictions of the game jam.  Which might be a stretch but here goes.

There are easter eggs in it from Dissatisfaction 4 (XLIX) for those wondering at some odd shifts like Myxolidian scales up and down.

Lyrics: 

Imagine a boot so big somehow
That we have to start licking it now
In case it might exist some day
A fear that just won't go away  

I started life on a diet
Of solitude and quiet
But rosiness did not prepare
For the jungle out there

And once I had thoroughly got their gist
I saw through the plot of my nemesis
To churn out carceral urbanists

Your agency is proportional to the number of people
You can handle being mad at you at the same time
But a contrarian mindset sometimes
Cannot exactly turn on a dime  

My supposed social betters
Took on the workforce fetters
Because they gamed Goodhart's law to the letter
While I’m left to dream of something better  

I was wanting to have my cake and eat it
But the cost made me feel so conceited  
I’m trapped, still living under their thumb
While my heart keeps beating to my own drum  

The consequences gradually got meaner
I suspected the grass is greener
seeing the glass ceiling's pretence
drove the lure of the other side of the fence

One thing that I have found
Comfort is the devil's playground
But colocated with silent grief
Escapism gave me some relief

But Rose-colored lenses
Still don't conceal systemic defenses  

In time regret ebbs and flows
A cycle of longing that grows
Energy flows where one’s attention goes  

It’s not necessarily a race
Rose-colored glasses can’t erase
The truth that I have learned to face
Dissatisfaction expands to the available space
  
I muse on vales, zephyr pure
Far from mire, no rancor’s lure
Ascendance blooms, I endure

Dissatisfaction Expands To The Available Space (Extended Lyrical Version)

The second track of the game jam submission for Crunchtime 04 hosted by LoneRabbit, a prologue where Annael recounts to Tuor the Long Peace (and also what happend to Rían his mother), the games main action is a strategy game between Mereth Aderthad and Dagor Bragollach

Submission for Broken Telephone Jam #6 where the oddnumbered jams compete for an art competition and then the winner of the that jam's square image becomes the art prompt to make music off of for the following even-numbered B.T. Jam

I tried to evoke early arcade racing games from the mid 80's like Super Sprint for the Atari System 1/2 and maybe the Final Lap series into the 90's by Namco

A bit of an ambient track.  The game jam's prompt was "Rainy Weather" and so accordingly there are some royalty free thunder and rain sounds from Pixabay.

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.
