So this one's finally done, I apologize that this took way too long. University unfortunately got in the way, so I had to go get that outta the way real quick. But hey this thing is as here as it can be, so please enjoy!
I'm honestly particularly proud of this one. I tried experimenting with a much more aggressive sound to accentuate the darker themes of the fight, and this was also partly an experimentation on designing my own sounds (for the bass at least), and I think it turned out pretty well, after following who knows how many tutorials on how to make a nice sounding cyberpunk/midtempo-like bass. Emerald Weapon's theme is honestly one of my favourite songs in FFXIV, so I absolutely couldn't wait to get this one done, I absolutely loved working on it, and I hope that you like it too!

Was honestly up for another collab for this one, thought Lenna's vocals would fit perfectly! I figured a more cyberpunk/synth approach would fit in with this track pretty well, so that's what I tried to do. I tried a more synthwave style at first, but then I had the idea of making the bass super heavy and ended up with this thing! Anyway, enjoy, and please make sure to check out both of our other works! It'd mean a lot to both of us

Guess what, ya know the old cover of Sunrise that I did? I listened back to it, and it's not up to my standards anymore!! It was back when I didn't know what I was doing! Granted, I still don't know. But I know a bit more than I did then. So I decided to remake it! Simple as. It was actually really interesting trying to redo the whole instrumental knowing what I know now, and it really helped put into perspective just how far I've come these past few years. I'm very grateful that Curry and her friends were so kind as to help me out with this project, please be sure to check out their socials and works too!! They're all real talented, trust me!!

woo I managed to get another one out!! Even if it was just a little bit overdue I wasn't too sure where I wanted to go with this one at first, so I just kinda improvised a lot of it, until it sort of ended up with its own direction. I still think it turned out pretty alright! I have a couple other projects lined that I think will turn out *very* nicely, so keep an eye out for those!

Hey everyone, sorry for the really long wait this time around! Life kinda happened and I had a bunch of personal things to take care of, but I did manage to find the time to squeeze this thing out in between of all the nonsense. Which tbh I'm really glad I could, this one's a shorter and sweeter one than usual, but I think it still worked all the same. I did challenge myself to make the actual project file itself a bit smaller this time around and see how efficient I could be by using less VSTs at same time, and I think I did a pretty good job! This was definitely way more inspired by the Shin Megami Tensei IV soundtrack, so I did my best to try and make it sound somewhat similar. This track's short and nice and fun, which tbh was perfect for working on it on/off. I'll try to hopefully be more consistent this time around, please stay tuned!

Been dealing with a buncha stuff in my life lately, so unfortunately that's why uploads have been kinda slow. But hey, a lot of it's solved so hopefully that means I can pick up the pace a bit more!
I really really, really wanted to cover this song ever since I heard it when the patch first dropped. I already had a couple in mind when trying to choose a vocalist, but seeing Lenna sing a lil bit over it on twitter right as the song came out really made me want to cover this even more. I'm very grateful for her lending a hand with this cover and providing some very strong vocals, and you guys oughta be too! Be sure to check out her stuff alongside mine too, don't ya wanna do all of us a favour?

Whoa sorry for the lack of uploads again lately, I actually recently graduated so I kinda been spending my time trying to look for a job lmao. But hey at least I finally got this thing done, so y'know there's that!
This one was a bit more of an experiment if anything, I wanted to see how close I could get to an actual rock-sounding track using mostly synths and some midi guitars here and there. The instrumentation was actually surprisingly difficult to figure out, but I think I did a pretty decent job at it overall. Please enjoy!

Hey hey, decided to do another collab with Curry's fantastic vocals and look at how good it turned out! I've been wanting to cover this one for a while, and I felt that having vocals for this cover would give it that extra lil something that synths can't quite replicate, as it's pretty hard to replicate telling a story of tragedy and revenge with synths alone. So I asked Curry if she'd still be interested in covering this one since I really really wanted to do it, and behold the end result!
Special thanks to her for not only providing fantastic vocals, but also getting someone else to provide equally fantastic vocals for the male chorus as well as having someone to do the vocal mixing. This was actually a pretty big team effort, and honestly it wouldn't have reached this level of quality without any of the people listed. Why don't ya go ahead and check all of em out!

Could this be the beginning of a monthly upload schedule?! Maybe, we'll see where life ends up taking me. But hey, it's progress ain't it!
A friend of mine had the idea of combining Answers with Close in the Distance, and I thought I might as well give it a shot, since both of these songs thematically fit very well with each other. After playing Endwalker, the messages of Answers and Close in The Distance became a lot more clear, with Answers talking about Hydaelyn/Venat's sacrifice, and Close in the Distance sort of being the resolution to her, and your entire arc with her. This blending of messages we thought would honestly be perfect as the conclusion to a several year-long arc, and I don't think there could be a better sendoff.
I immediately wanted to do a more retro synth cover of this because I mean hey, it's in space and all and space is pretty synth-y in nature. I dunno, when I think space I just kinda think synth space opera in terms of soundtrack y'know?
I actually tried including the distorted version of Ultima Thule's theme that you hear when you first enter the area, and the Answers melody was partly inspired by the 1.0 version of it when everything goes to hell, which thematically seemed honestly pretty fitting. That same friend also drew the cover art for the video you see, please absolutely go check out more of her work! Her twitter's linked in the description! If you look closer at the cover art, ya might notice a few little details here and there...

whoa hey sorry for the wait, but it's finally here! I was approached by the very talented Curry to write an instrumental for them so that they can sing over it. Return to Oblivion was a song always I liked, so naturally I accepted!
I tried really hard to replicate the "cold" feelings that the instrumental gave off in the original, from the percussion and instrumentation used. I think I managed to do that pretty well with the synths, sticks and very small bells I used throughout the whole thing. It was a challenging project, but it was still a very fun one! Curry's vocals are also honestly fantastic, had some help making the vocals sound as good as the original did for this one, so please go check both her and our vocal mixer out whenever you get the chance!
I really really wanted to something very special for this cover, since it is my first vocal cover on this channel, so I opted for an entirely new style of video editing. I hope it's to your liking!

oh man, once again it's been like 3 months since I uploaded something whoops, but hey at least it got here before the end of the month!
I really really liked this song when I first heard it and it's something I've really wanted to cover. It was honestly pretty difficult, since it's quite the long song (and as of writing, there's only the trailer version to work with) so it honestly took a while to transcribe all of it. At first I wasn't really sure where to go with it either, but over time I just kinda tried things and see what stuck, and eventually we ended up with this weird synth vibe we have. I really wanted to do this song justice especially with Endwalker so close to coming out, so I hope that you all enjoy it.

Well here it is, it was bound to happen eventually huh
I really really enjoyed working on this one. It was honestly a bit of a breather from working on the rest of the tracks, considering it was actually a lot simpler of a track and had less going on for it. I tried keeping that same sort of mystical vibe to it, while having it have a more energetic and dangerous vibe to it. Overall not too difficult to work on and very fun, it taught me a decent amount about too!

I was very fortunate to get the opportunity to present a panel talking about FF14's music and how it made me a musician at Lunarcon, a large ingame convention celebrating the end of Shadowbringers and looking forward to the release of Endwalker!
I might do more concise analysis videos in the future, because this was very interesting to talk about. I'm very passionate about FF14's music and Soken's work, and it's what inspired me to continue working on my music in the first place. I hope you find this interesting and I hope you enjoy.

Hold on now, it might've been 3 months since my last thing but hey, this one actually took me only 2 weeks to finish! So there's that, looks like I'm getting better at getting things done in a reasonable time frame now that I actually have time to myself.
This one was honestly surprisingly difficult to work on at times, for quite a while I really couldn't figure out how to make the chorus hit the same way that a full-on choir does, while using only synths. Hopefully this will have achieved the same effect! Despite that this was still a lot of fun to work on, and I think I'm kinda starting to find my own signature sound, slowly yet surely. I learned a lot more about mixing and sound design with this one, so despite how it might've turned out, it taught me a lot and def helped me improve as a producer!

This one won as part of a Patreon poll, so it was decided to do this one next! This one was a ton of fun to work on. Certain elements were a little frustrating to replicate like the male vocals, but I think what's present is the best that it could've been. I decided to take a slightly different approach from other arrangements and I tried to emphasize the more traditional feel more, through taiko drums and flutes. Not much else to comment on except that this is pretty cool I think, and I hope you find it cool too. (also as a sidenote I have to say I fuckin love this bass guitar patch I found, Unreal Instruments deserves a real shoutout here)
Also this one is special because it's the first song that was made using my brand new PC! This thing does whatever I want it to do now, and there's no more dumb stupid crackling happening while mixing! And it just blazes through render times, everything is at least 5x faster now. is gud Of course affording it was made a lot easier thanks to Patreon, all of you are truly wonderful.

This song I think is definitely a culmination of everything I've learned as a producer so far and it definitely showcases a lot of things I've learned. This song tells a tragic story of a forgotten civilization and I pretty much wanted to do it justice, so I did everything I could to make sure I was able to tell the same sort of story. Were it not for the inputs of some of my friends actually I don't think I would've done as good a job as I could've on this one. Overall I'm very proud and I had a lotta fun with this one, I hope you enjoy it too!

I tried going for a specific genre, but at some point I just decided whatever lol, I'm just gonna do what feels right for each song and I think it turned out pretty well. I'm actually really really proud of this one. It was a ton of effort and a ton of hours, but I think it paid off as my own tribute to FFXIV and the journey it's taken me and some of my friends on over the years.
also my cpu started dying like 90% of the way through but we still got it so it's ok

There may or may not be some mistakes in the vid cuz Sony Vegas decided to act like complete ass out of nowhere, and I honestly didn't feel like rendering it again lmao
Overall had a ton of fun with this one too tho
