Going to take awhile to get used to but I like it so far and made this ๐ปDarksword - Relic of CorruptionTsunscreen2024-05-18 | "Sinister but tragic" was the goal with this (I'm a sucker for the "fallen hero" trope).
A little ironic given the theme but I actually had a hard time releasing this one but at some point you've gotta stop lamenting over the mix lol.Sunken Ruins [VGM]Tsunscreen2024-05-15 | ...๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐-๐๐๐๐Tsunscreen2024-04-30 | I may have had some fun with the video. The visualization was recorded straight from Windows XP[Castlevania Inspired VGM] Emissary of DarknessTsunscreen2024-04-12 | Had some fun doing up the background for this in Godot, coincidentally the same engine used for the note visualizer (ALMAMPlayer). The bitrate suffers a little bit, but eh
Sidenote: I recently got some new headphones so the mixing process is brutal right now while I get used to them, but the idea is eventually I'll be able to do that better.CHIPDEATH: Death InvocationTsunscreen2024-04-01 | This started out as kind of a joke, but honestly it goes a little bit. Technically the first song featuring lyrics I've written (even if they were created in the span of 10 minutes)
(This is really neither chiptune or death metal, but close enough)INDUSTRIAL EDGETsunscreen2024-03-19 | Seen a few industrial acts recently1-800-ALIENTsunscreen2024-02-26 | Cooked this up shortly after the new year turned over in some sort of daze, but it's kind of cool.Descent (Dungeon Synth)Tsunscreen2024-02-18 | more dungeon synth goodnessBattle Against an Elevated BeingTsunscreen2024-01-26 | ...powder snowTsunscreen2024-01-20 | annual "it has snowed" track
Background video is a recording of a TimeSplitters 2 Level Drum samples from the "breakcore is not a good way to get laid" pack (this is definitely NOT breakcore, but maybe if you play it at 2x speed lol)meadow vibesTsunscreen2023-12-18 | Just vibing
Also may be using this style of video a little more, at least for some of the more miscellaneous kinda songs. Really does make it a lot easier to upload stuff.[Chiptune] Adamant StrongholdTsunscreen2023-11-24 | Picked up Plogue's Chipsounds on a sale and made this immediately after.
Definitely not "real" chiptune but the individual sounds certainly are. TIL this plugin was also used pretty heavily in Portal 2Overworld Theme: Dark JourneyTsunscreen2023-11-14 | Foreboding music that would play on the world map late into some sort of (J)RPG.
Misc trivia: This tune has existed as a short midi loop for almost two years, but I finally just decided to finish it.Ecoscape - New AgeTsunscreen2023-11-07 | ...Bad EndingTsunscreen2023-11-01 | Inspired by bad ending songs in VNs which go unreasonably hard for some reason๐ Pumpkin Festival ๐Tsunscreen2023-11-01 | ...Dreadscape V - Prerendered BeingTsunscreen2023-10-31 | "What the hell is this" is probably an appropriate response to this. I more or less did this in a single night and I certainly thought that afterwards.
Next up is a bunch of more 'normal' stuff though!Dreadscape IV - Fun ZoneTsunscreen2023-10-30 | ๐Dreadscape III - Turbine FailureTsunscreen2023-10-29 | Not entirely sure what would motivate someone to listen to this (or make it for that matter). It's a mysteryDreadscape II - Absolute ZeroTsunscreen2023-10-29 | The second of a few weird pre-halloween tracks ๐Dreadscape I - Infernal VoidTsunscreen2023-10-28 | Going to be uploading some weird creepy stuff that's been in the backlog leading up to Halloween๐

Started out around when I made that edgy title screen music, so it's along the same kind of vibeCrystalline Passage [Sega Genesis Style VGM]Tsunscreen2023-08-06 | Limited myself to around an hour as an exercise, plus used Chipsynth MD alone for all the sounds. Quite happy with the results~definitely boss musicTsunscreen2023-08-03 | One whole year since I started posting music on this channel. I didn't mean for this to be a followup originally but hey it kind of works.
Got a bunch more stuff in the oven too (they call it that because you of in the cold tunes of out hot listen the song)Ghost Trick - The Last Desperate Struggle (Fan Remaster)Tsunscreen2023-06-15 | Finally bit the bullet and watched a video on side-chaining, so I did this to play around with it (TL;DR makes things punch through the mix, typically the kickdrum)
Made this before hearing the actual remaster for the new release, but that one's cool too.Dungeon MusicTsunscreen2023-06-06 | Video is of an oldish roguelike I tinkered around with awhile ago. Never really got to the "this is a game" state but I've been reworking it all recently ๐
Music is definitely Nox Arcana inspired.[Liminal Ambience] current_exhibits.aviTsunscreen2023-06-02 | A weird track I played/improvised a couple weeks ago, set to a bunch of museum/museum-adjacent photos.
It might not be what I upload next but the next thing I work on will probably be very high energy after this. Just saw Haken live the other night and then there's this new A7X album out tomorrow, so those are bound to influence things ๐ฒDark Hearse - Edgy Race MusicTsunscreen2023-05-17 | Another in the series of "edgy early 2000s vgm."
Might've gone a little too hard on the particle effects (this kills the bitrate ๐ชฆ๐)Edgy Title Screen for an Imaginary PS2 GameTsunscreen2023-05-06 | "Necruiem" is an (imaginary) PS2 game with extraordinary amounts of early 2000s edge. Like Dirge of Cerberus but more

Done as part of RickyRister's April Fools event to make a video in the style of their "how to make a passable X-style" videos: youtube.com/watch?v=H5IPRjXUyI8 which are cool.
Realized part way through that it was sort of suppose to be Touhou themed which this definitely isn't, but oh well ยฏ\_(ใ)_/ยฏ
There's really no "fools" here but it seemed like a fun time. Left it to the night before/day off to do because of cat reasons, but it turned out surprisingly good all things considered~

This was also a good way at scratching that "I want to make a vast open world space exploration game" itch so I can focus on other stuff.[Sega Genesis Inspired] Mini Boss ThemeTsunscreen2023-03-23 | Picked up Chipsynth MD last week and have been having some fun with it. It's kind of great!
This one is a rework of a track I made for Ludum Dare 51, which was just a midi originally in-game. You can hear the original version as part of my entry (timestamped): youtu.be/xgNfpMXTMXI?t=160
Thinking of potentially releasing a bunch of old/new stuff using this plugin as part of a faux-soundtrack. Already reworked a few tunes which lend themselves well to it, and I've been trying to think of a way to package a bunch of stuff together into an album kinda thing.[Castlevania Inspired VGM] Vampiric AwakeningTsunscreen2023-03-13 | Caught a bit of gameplay for the new Dead Cells DLC and wanted to do something Castlevania inspired.
twitter.com/Tsun_Screen[DEMO] thing with a GUITAR in itTsunscreen2023-03-04 | Finally decided to get a guitar which I definitely cannot play yet, but it's fun enough just messing around with an actual physical instrument. Didn't spend too much time on this given how rough/sloppy the recording was, but will probably revisit it once I've learned how to play guitar a little (or a lot) better ๐
The song at the end will probably end up in something eventually as I'm pretty happy with it, just didn't feel like it was the right mood. Also I said weekend but it was cut a little short as I was scoping out a cat adoption ๐โ
twitter.com/Tsun_Screen[90s Chill Lounge] Any Other Way (Old Leather)Tsunscreen2023-01-30 | If you can believe it I was sober when I made this.
Took a lot of inspiration from St Germain as well as all manner of weird 90s remixes where they just insert TV show dialogue into songs. Meant to sound dated and I think I pulled it off (โ_โ)
