Heavily, extremely, deeply inspired by "Clare de Lune" by Claude Debussy. Obviously.

The Adventure Zone: Ethersea Theme

Song Info:
Remastered and ready for action!
I unironically and unapologetically LOVE Letterkenny. I had to make this little homage of some of their classic lines, with two others from another Canadian gem thrown in! Thank you Jared Keeso and Jacob Tierney for this incredible show.

If you haven't seen it yet, it alone is reason enough to subscribe to Crave or Hulu!

I don't own the rights to any of the vocals, and the melody line is, of course, the Canadian National Anthem.

Album Info:
Last week on vacation, I was talking with my (much more talented) musician friend about the things I was learning in Ableton. Being that there are so many plugins, AI helpers, looping clips, etc. out there, I said "Heck, it would be dead-simple to make an entire 'meh' quality album in a week"

So, I decided to do it. I bridged two weekends, but worked full hours on my regular job, so I think it balanced out.

On the drive home from vacation, my family and I wrote down over 40 musical genres. I then narrowed it down to 20, assigned numbers to them, and rolled two twenty sided dice. The results: Lo-Fi Chiptunes. Great excuse to buy the software synth I've been looking at for a while!

I got just over 31 minutes done, so 9 minutes shy of my goal. Still, I'm fairly happy with these songs! A lot more work could have been done, but I learned a lot.

Shoutout to Rory Given, the *incredibly* generous and *super talented* individual who gifted me a copy of Ableton! Follow him here:

O How Are You Now, Canada? (explicit lyrics)

Some months now into my music production journey, and I have slid into the Dunning-Kruger Valley of Despair. I am increasingly aware of how little I know about all of this. I haven't posted anything for months, unable to satisfy the new standards I hope to achieve. This track doesn't either, but here it is.

Nimbus Signal

Distant Moons

loving the 80's vibes in recent movies and TV shows, so I wanted to build a track that has that same energy. 

Johnny Cyberhands

First trap beat after getting out of the loop making hole.  Trying to figure out this mixing/mastering game!

Trippy Plucks

Finale

Levin Dalton Riday Lacas - Finale

LYRICS
Never taken out the garbage
Never bought his own groceries
Never done the laundry
Never said he was sorry,
Why’d it take me now to see

Waking up from this insanity
Realized he lied to me
I just want to live my day
Too much in my way
Making ends meet ain’t free

I felt stuck, no place to turn
I decided to let it burn
He promised we would get our due
What a crock of shit, Man is full of it
Turns out he’s not like me or you.

Never worked in fast food
Never served in the military 
Never pulled four 10s
Never made amends
Not like you and me

Now I see that he lied to me
Ruining my life, just let me be
I just want to do an honest day’s work
Provide for me and my family
Throw me a bone 
Don’t leave me alone
I’m just trying to save face
I need some grace

I just need a bridge back

Never changed his own oil 
Never stacked a load of wood
Never said a nice thing
If you know what I mean
Never been up to good

LYRICS THAT DIDN'T MAKE IT INTO THE ORIGINAL SONG:
I need an open hand

Gets off on being mean

Never said please or thank you

Never run an honest charity
Never believed in liberty
Never trusted you or me
Why did it take me so long to see


Never changed a diaper
Never picked up dog poo
Never cleaned a litter box
Never ran forks


Never put someone before himself
Never ran food orders
Never felt gratitude

Never ran a forklift
Never compensated for kerf
Never put someone before himself
Never learned to surf

Never asked for consent
Never satisfied anyone
Don’t know how to have fun
Never cuddled afterwards
Never did an honest days work

Never loved America
