Time to shake things up a little with a pseudo-jazzy rock song!

This was heavily inspired by Shady Cicada's how-to series where he humorously shows you how to make music in different styles and genres. You should check out the original inspiration behind this jam!

As for this song, I'm a little unsure how to feel about it. It was a total blast to make and play, but I couldn't make it sound anywhere near as good as I would have liked, and my sloppy playing let it all down. But whatever, I think it's super hype and I loved making the video so I hope you guys enjoy it!

Revolution (Jazzy Boss Battle)

This was really fun to make, it's basically just a rock cover of Vs. Susie with guitars and stuff, though that main repeating riff is played by the bass with support from the guitar, something I don't see a lot of other covers do for this song. Synths then take over the roll of the bass instrument. I liked the weird spaced out empty feel of the choruses played by the piano and the clean guitar.

Vs. Susie - Deltarune Rock Cover

A piano duet if you want to cram together uncomfortably with your SO on a piano that's too small for you.

Some Kinda Love Song

A folk song about coming to terms with heartache and accepting it so I may move on. It's a little on the raw side, so it still sounds like a raw wound. Might need a bit of polish one day.

Open Up

A rustic sappy love song that I wrote about a crush that was WAY out of my league. In hindsight, I probably should have taken that as a sign....

One Wish

Do you hear the voices crying out for this sick cover of Beck's "Threshold" for the Scott Pilgrim movie? No? Well... well they are! Trust!

Fun fact: This is one of the first songs I learnt as a noob, so it kinda fulfilled a teenage dream to rock out to it where more than my bedroom can hear!

Threshold Cover

A cover of "Animal" by the Indie Rock band "Wavves", who are totally super cool sounding and probably inspired a little bit of my sound. Because they rock!

This was a crazy amount of fun to record, and doubly so when you include the video which you can check out on YouTube! (links below)

Animal - Wavves Cover

A weird pseudo orchestral and electronic videogame sounding thing that's meant to be a generic encounter/fight theme for a videogame idea I had. I made this quite a while ago and just tweaked it slightly, so some of the horn parts are physically impossible to play because they're out of the range of those instruments, but I still think it sounds pretty cool. There is also a pure piano version of this that I made first but I doubt I'll upload it anytime soon.

I'll Blow You Away!(Orchestral Version)

A pop-rock/garage rock indie jam I made as part of a songwriting tutorial for my YouTube channel. I think I'll let the music speak for itself on this one, though without a bunch of context, it probably sounds like gibberish to everyone but who it's about and myself (and who it involves doesn't listen to my music so whatever).

The song tutorial is available on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/BHb4t2ZZbNM

Exit: Stage Left

A hard-rock/metal instrumental track designed as fight music for generic encounters in a video-game.

I was thinking maybe in an old school beat-em-up, it would be easy to loop it in an endless circle of punches and guitar solos. While I do play a lot of rock music, this was pretty far out of my comfort zone. I'm not much of a shredder or metal player, so even the pretty basic solos were really hard.

That said, it was SUPER FUN to make, and was a much needed change in pace! Things have been a little rough so it was great to just shut up and really ROCK, and play something different to my usual stuff.

Rust

An upbeat pop-punk song about getting escaping from your crummy hometown AND YOURSELF! It was thrown together when you just wanna jam something with the gang or whatever.

This was originally meant to sound like an anime theme song actually, the intro being inspired by "One Life" by The Pillows from the FLCL soundtrack, but then I dived way off the deep end with the chorus and wound up here.

Escape

A high-energy hard rock song about being a total nobody in your crappy hometown that you don't really like and don't fit into even though you secretly wish you did. But WHATEVER man? We're too PUNK for that! Being a loser is the new cool! Yeah!!

Loser

I play guitar badly and make slightly better songs. I'm the annoying cat singing outside your window.
