No new song today, BUT!

Look what is finally available everywhere!

My collection of Sea Shanties, "The Sea & The Flame," is out on Spotify, iTunes, Amazon Music, and all those other places. You can also listen to it here!

EDIT: Power's back! Of course, this happens less than 30 minutes after I post this. 😆

Tonight's stream might be canceled!

Got home from visiting family to find our power is out. Looks like it is our whole neighborhood and the power company is hoping to have it back up in roughly 6 hours.

If it comes back on before I have to sleep, I will try to hop on, but this might just mean that I will do a stream later this week instead.

A quick announcement.

Life has gotten hectic recently. First our kids got sick, then my wife, then me. Then once I started feeling better, things at work got really crazy.

So, for the next little while, I'm going to slow down a little here. I'm still going to try and get at least one song out each week. I'm just trying to maintain that whole work/life balance thing.

I have no plans to stop and still have quite a few songs that I've got in the works that I definitely want to get out there, but all these things take time and I find that I just never have enough to stay on top of it all. I also have a huge backlog of songs that are available here on YouTube that I haven't been able to get onto Spotify and others streaming platforms. Once those are caught up, I'm hoping that I can get back to my regular schedule here.

The gaming streams will keep happening on Sunday evenings. I've found them super relaxing and a great way to recharge before starting my work week.

I really appreciate all the support I've had from all of you and I am working on Friday's video as I'm writing this.

See you soon!

Just a quick note!

No new song today, everyone. It has been a crazy couple of weeks and right now my kids and wife are all sick. And last night when I sat down to work on the video, I just didn't have the energy (pretty sure I'm getting sick too).

So, I decided to take it easy and just play Hades II for a bit instead. It was the recharge I think I needed.

Don't worry, songs are still coming! I just needed a calm evening without any pressure. I'll be back at it next week!

Check this out!

‪@NOTISL‬ took one of last week's songs and worked some MAGIC on it!

I'm thrilled with how both versions sound! Definitely go check out this channel and leave ‪@NOTISL‬ some love!

Hey, everyone! I just wanted to wish all of you a great holiday season. Whatever you celebrate, or don't, I hope this year has been great for you and that the next one will be even better!

I don't have a song releasing tomorrow. I chose to relax today and just enjoy Christmas with my family rather than worrying about rushing a song for tomorrow's release.

I'll be back next week with some more songs! See you then!

I'm curious. I've been really enjoying playing Silksong and still want to keep going with the Steel Soul challenge, but I've also got an itch for a few other games that I've been meaning to play.

Anyone interested in watching me try any of these out? (The only one I don't currently own on this list is Dredge, but I could snag it if there's enough interest.)

Just so you know, the only one I've played at all is that I played roughly an hour of Hades II when it was in pre-release but shelved and decided I wanted to wait for the full game.

The rest, I know basically nothing about.

Let me know what you want to see me play and if you have suggestions for other games, I'd love to hear those too!

Today, one year ago, I accidentally set "Bladder of Steel" as public. I wasn't planning on releasing any songs until I had at least 30 or so ready to go. But when I finally noticed, that one had a few random views from other people.

I figured, well there's no going back now. I had 9 other songs ready so I just switched them all to public.

And now here we are 1 year later with nearly 1200 subscribers and over 100 songs!

I just wanted to take a quick moment and thank you all for being here with me and helping me to get to this point. There are many, many people that have helped me do this and I couldn't have gotten to this point without them.

Thanks so much for being here. I'm excited to see where we are next year!

Alright. This post is LONG overdue. I've been meaning to share one of my personal favorite artists here on YouTube and have finally found a moment to do it.

And especially since this month is Mental Health Awareness month, I couldn't think of a better time to do it either.

If you haven't checked out Sheaberry Studios yet, you absolutely need to. I've been watching and listening to his music for... at least 6 months now and every single time he drops a song, I'm blown away.

His channel showed me just how much I can improve on my own and I still hope that one day my channel will grow up to be like his.

Go listen to his stuff. And if you know anyone that needs that little bit of "you're not alone," this music is perfect for it.

Seriously. Go check it out.

Hey, everyone! I just wanted to take a quick moment to shout out one of my favorite creators. This is ‪@EchoGateStudios‬ and he is INCREDIBLE. There's no genre that he can't tackle and his channel is one that I go back to often when I'm stuck and can't think of anything to write.

Not only that, I've even been lucky enough to reach out to him directly and we've talked back and forth about song ideas. A lot of the quality of my songs comes from the help he has given me.

AND he is one of the biggest supporters of people working in this community. Whenever I find another person making AI music, he's almost always there in the comments before me offering encouragement and support. I consider it a victory if I ever find a channel before he does. (And that is a rare thing now)

So, please, please, please go to his channel. Listen to a few songs. Leave him some comments and subscribe. He's incredible and deserves at least 300x the subscribers he has. Go help him out!

And to say that I had a hard time picking just one of his songs to feature here is an understatement. So many great songs in so many genres. Everyone of them fire.
