A brand new original song, featuring originally created music, lyrics, sound design, visuals and artwork.
You read it right. I'm venturing outside of my usual fandom spaces to make a giant step that I've been hoping to do for a while. It's intimidating and nerve-inducing to see how people will think and react, but making a song that's purely my own is something I'm very proud of and really hope you all enjoy.
'Our World' is a mixture of elements brought to together, things have both been inspirations to how I make music and topics that coincide with things that I've experienced and wished I'd been told at darker points through my career and life. In the creative spaces, whether we're artists, musicians, songwriters, or anything else, we're constantly overcoming the obstacles of a world that can simultaneously praise what we do and try to stop us from doing it at the same time. And there are many moments over the years where I have personally stumbled and wondered about how I can keep doing what I love despite all these anxieties and worries.
'Our World' is written from words that we all may need to hear during times like this. Whether it be from someone we care about, or an inspiration to us in our field, or even just a general reminder that we're capable of doing all the things we want to do as artists, this song is written for both myself and anyone who struggles with the same anxieties about their craft.
To that end, it was a true honour to bring Michael on board as the featured vocalist for the track. When I was writing this piece out and exploring the message I wanted to make, I knew that his voice was perfect for what I needed after our prior experience working together on 'Liquid Gold' for Lackadaisy. It was an honour for him to take part and I was absolutely blown away with what he performed. And for the visuals, bringing back both Cycoriot as my close friend with an impeccable eye for art detailing and composition alongside MrDemoVE who transformed those pieces into some truly beautiful graphics was all I could've hoped for to make this something that is uniquely my own.
No matter what the world or your own self might try to tell you during times where it's difficult making your craft or even simply getting by at all, you're not alone. And you can do whatever you put your mind to.
Enjoy.

A project to commemorate 30k subscribers, a complete dub of the official prequel comic for Hollow Knight by Team Cherry, featuring full sound design for all scenes. A wonderful indie title with a charming style, fantastic gameplay, and rather deep and interesting lore that encourages you to explore to learn.
Hollow Knight is one of my all time favourite properties and I was excited to venture out and try to put sound to such a brilliant world and brilliant artwork. I endeavoured to try and use as many original sound effects as I could, though I ultimately did take a few from the game and edited them in since some of these sounds are iconic to their original use. I hope you all enjoy it.
Hollow Knight and all its characters belong to Team Cherry.

A complete dub of Service Shopping by voidseeker (https://twitter.com/voidseeker_), featuring full sound design for all scenes. A fantastic artist who does some of the best Lucifer artwork Ive come across in the fandom, please give them all the support they deserve.
This is an older comic made early last year, but now that I have practice and can do voices for everyone, I figured it was time to make sound for it. And about time for Valentino to get the raw end of a deal.
The original comic was presented in a right-to-left reading format. Some panels have been altered to read left-to-right for easier viewing.
The original dialogue was also initially translated into English from Japanese by Yunnbert (https://twitter.com/yunnbert), but did have some minor errors in some areas. Though the text has been re-made to fix these, and also to make the fade-in effects for the different sections, the dialogue is primarily unchanged from how it was originally written.

A full cover version of Well Meet Again in character as Alastor, featuring specially created backing music adapted from a wonderful piano arrangement by Neil Archer (please check out his work here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJrFSEoQsjywQSzjOJCwTjw).
I wanted to do something a little special for this one since it was requested of me quite a lot. I wanted to frame the song like a scene from the show, with Alastor playing the song on the piano for the listener as his powers fluctuate around him. I hoped it would give off a bit a more sinister air about it on certain lines to make it stand out.
(Note: Make sure to support the song on my SoundCloud page: https://soundcloud.com/paranoid-dj/well-meet-again-paranoid-dj-alastor-cover-ver )

A complete dub of The Pimp Lord Moth by Cameron The Imp (https://twitter.com/DarkMysticTulip), featuring full sound design for all scenes. Please support the original posts and give them all the deserved compliments for their wonderful artwork.
The of what may have been happening elsewhere during Charlies news appearance made this comic something I really wanted to bring to life. Not only because of how well Cameron was able to portray Valentinos power and control over others in his domain, but also because his reaction to Angel being revealed as the Hotels patron having such quiet rising anger was catered perfectly to my enjoyment of creating tension in sound design.
A huge thanks is also warranted for BunnyGurl93 for providing the vocal performances for Summer and Dia. Theyre working hard on their own Hazbin-themed dubbing projects, including a series based around Angels sister Molly. Please check her out at the links below.
NOTE: The text on the comic has been visually edited for the sake of video editing flow, but has been UNCHANGED from how it was originally written.

A complete dub of the first part of Rescues And Revelations by Rae (https://twitter.com/jigokuhana89), featuring full sound design for all scenes. A very talented artist, who is already working on a second instalment as we speak, please give them all your support.
This one has been requested a few times on other videos and I saw it as a chance to try and refine my Husk voice. Its not perfect, probably one of the weaker ones I do because of his natural gravel being quite difficult, but any excuse to do more Valentino along with it always welcome.
NOTE: I humbly request to please avoid making blunt remarks about ships and the culture that surrounds them as comments or as responses to other people. This is a fan comic done purely for fun and people should be allowed to enjoy this type of content without being called out for having a different preference to someone else. Be civil, be respectful. Moving forward, anything I see in the comments sections endorsing or acting out this behaviour, I will remove.

Were doing it live!
Since the last attempt at a stream went far better than I ever expected, lets do another one. Like last time, starting with a general hang out as a place to answer questions about anything you want to know about me and my work, maybe even a few voice requests here and there. Then, well be going behind the scenes again where Ill be showing how I produced the music for the recent Valentino cover, including how I recorded/structured the voices.
