Lunar Trigger Red - Piano & Techno pftq 2023-10-14 | Spotify: open.spotify.com/playlist/1jd6rdkOtYzvvhqWnxPZIfBandcamp: autodidactic.bandcamp.com/track/lunar-trigger-red-pftqNewgrounds: newgrounds.com/audio/listen/project/5120886Second version of Lunar Trigger & cousin to Lunar Fractals. Meant again as a collab stem for Waterflame to add to but didn't end up happening before the song got finished. Maybe 3rd time's the charm! Waterflame did share some synths/samples this time that were used by Zero-Bass though, so that helped get the sound a little bit closer to the inspiration. Like the first Lunar Trigger, the music is heavily inspired by two artists on Newgrounds - namely XsToRmEr1 (Flames of the Sky) and Zero-Bass (the Trigger in the name is a homage to his tracks as well - Lighting Trigger, Atomic Trigger, Death Trigger, etc).This is also built out of the same instruments as Lunar Fractals, so it has a similar sound.Check out Zero-Bass's stuff too! Managed to suddenly find his Spotify ironically because it got recommended to Lunar Trigger on auto-play, so looks like I got close enough to his style. :Dopen.spotify.com/artist/0zSUmTdqzIpecUexfuwdDBMusic is royalty-free depending on use.

Lunar Trigger - Piano & Techno pftq 2023-08-28 | Made this originally as a stem for this month's collab, but ended up making a whole song while waiting on Waterflame to do a pass on it. He may still get to it, but I thought this was also nice enough to stand on its own as a separate track. Influences are mainly 2 artists I used to listen to on Newgrounds - XsToRmEr1 (Flames of the Sky) and Zero-Bass (the Trigger name is a homage to his naming scheme - Lighting Trigger, Atomic Trigger, Death Trigger, etc).This is built out of the same instruments as Lunar Fractals, so it has a similar sound. You can consider it a more upbeat cousin of that track with a bit less melancholy.Crosslisted with @AutodidacticStudios : youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsKWgfWtIc5qAbppHs-wZmtf_pLilE8geSpotify: open.spotify.com/album/6Z76toyE1rCMXZ3meAfsC1Bandcamp: pftq.bandcamp.com/track/lunar-triggerNewgrounds: newgrounds.com/audio/listen/1241745Check out Zero-Bass's stuff too!

Tech Trader AI in Real-Time - Fully Autonomous Trading pftq 2023-05-09 | Just realized I have no footage of the Tech Trader AI actually in action - even though it's been around for over 10 years - so I made a new temporary account just to show what it looks like! All trades in the video are fully automated and to the live account shown. Not as many trades currently as when it first started, as the market is a bit thinner lately. The website dashboard is a UI for monitoring Tech Trader which I built in a couple days in mid-2015.Tech Trader is a fully autonomous trading system I built back in 2012 and have left running in the background since. It primarily trades in the same style I used to do - somewhat a combination of technical analysis and orderflow analysis (of options) but nothing really standardized since it was how I ended up trading on my own. While it has some elements of adapting/self-adjusting to situations, it is more akin to the kind of AI you'd see in simulation or strategy games since that's what I grew up playing and modding as a teen.

Mad Whirl (Piano) pftq 2022-10-21 | Piano improvisation inspired by Mad World. This is a much older recording I forgot about from some 10 years ago. It's piano improvisation from me just messing around after figuring out how to play Mad World by ear, with obvious inspiration from that song (not to the point of copying it though for copyright reasons), and veers off in its own direction with some Halloween vibes to it.Newgrounds: newgrounds.com/audio/listen/1166382Soundcloud: soundcloud.com/pftq/mad-whirl-pianoSpotify: open.spotify.com/track/3DcdrEc2QqDO5vMPzteB4o?si=523049eaa4124326
Euphoralysis - Heroic Epic Orchestral Music - Choirs and Strings pftq 2022-10-21 | Cinematic-sounding orchestral action music that could go with some heroic battle happening against an apocalyptic setting. Sounds a little bit like something from Two Steps From Hell. Composed quickly for a challenge to make a "strong and euphoric" sounding track, but I think I missed the euphoric part. :PWaterflame also made his own submission to the same prompt - check out his as well!youtube.com/watch?v=Z5d2mj4fm8cIronically we both missed the deadline while working so here it is instead.Special thanks to Waterflame for helping come up with some of the drum patterns.Also available here:Newgrounds: newgrounds.com/audio/listen/project/1915466Soundcloud: soundcloud.com/pftq/euphoralysisSpotify: open.spotify.com/track/1o4P1MxZB8cE5ltGOcly5i?si=e20369fc878848b0
Rising Melancholy - Relaxing Harp and Drums pftq 2022-08-06 | Another short challenge track done in a few hours to submit.

Ambidextrous Tennis with Two Rackets - Rallying Practice pftq 2022-07-10 | Rallying practice for ambidextrous tennis with two rackets during a training session on court. I've wanted to play someone else who is also ambidextrous (and uses two rackets) for a long time, so if there's any other ambidextrous tennis players out there who want to hit, let me know. It's just fun imagining how it'd look with everyone using two rackets on a court (always imagined to look something like an anime or kung fu tennis battle haha). ^_^#AmbidextrousTennis
Ambidextrous Tennis - Switching Hands pftq 2022-07-10 | Old video some years ago of practicing ambidextrous tennis with two rackets against the wall and also switching hands. If you're also an ambidextrous tennis player and play with two rackets, please feel free to reach out. Would be fun to one day have 8 rackets on a court and make some sort of crazy anime / kung fu tennis battle haha ^_^
Greener Grass - More Uplifting Guitar and Strings Music pftq 2022-06-19 | Some even greener grass on the other side. This music is made from the same palette as Green Grass - another song with similar uplifting strings and instrumental acoustic guitar style but this one being a bit calmer and quieter. As before, it takes a lot of Bosa's cinematic style from the early Newgrounds days plus a bit flare of my own. No idea what the genre is (I thought it was bluegrass but haven't found any music like this when searching lol), so any input on that is welcome.

Green Grass - Uplifting Guitar and Strings Music pftq 2022-06-19 | Grass is always greener on the other side. This is sort of a homage to Bosa's older cinematic music at Newgrounds, which had this kind of inspiring, uplifting strings and instrumental acoustic guitar feel. I listened to a lot of his stuff when I was younger and wanted to see if I can make something in similar style. Not sure what the genre is - some of his tracks were bluegrass, but none of the other tracks in the category sound like this. The low-whistle and fiddle also add a bit of an Irish/Celtic vibe. Maybe the closest thing is Sims music lolElsewhere:Spotify: open.spotify.com/album/4caVk9CfZWiPDplIXh6wpaBandcamp: pftq.bandcamp.com/album/green-grassesNewgrounds: newgrounds.com/audio/listen/1128788Check out the two other songs in this series as well:- Greener Grass: youtube.com/watch?v=9sU1DzjJQSM- Greenest Grass: youtube.com/watch?v=xIr6sGPi8MISome of the tracks from Bosa that inspired this:- There is Hope: newgrounds.com/audio/listen/196452- Pure of Heart: newgrounds.com/audio/listen/395356*Reuploaded for better quality.
Koto Cutter - Fast Intense Koto Music pftq 2022-06-19 | Dec.13 2020First new song in a while. Just something short and sweet that might be expanded to something more later. Since I keep sneaking kotos into my other songs, I went ahead and just made a solo one (all koto except the brief flute). This is the kind of stuff I like to listen to when it comes to kotos/Japanese music, with a ton of strumming and noise (almost like an acoustic guitar), and a lot of it comes from listening to East Wind / Uttara Kuru (ie Tsugaru) growing up. However, it doesn't seem very common when trying to find more koto music (at least for newer stuff online). The closest things I've found are maybe j-rock or band maiko (secret maiko lips), but they emphasize electric guitar with koto just in the background (and not very plucky either!).Also available on Bandcamp and Spotify:- Bandcamp: pftq.bandcamp.com/album/fast-koto-music- open.spotify.com/track/57poevnEtgjYBbRQ7dbMXd?si=572bebb26db74f7aThis was later sampled for Koto Breaker, an electronic/rock-style koto collab track:youtube.com/watch?v=9EjR3kv6wXcCheck the playlist here for more Koto music if you like this track:youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWqZTgAFww9-rHqD8TSd0-rlqzId58LsBEpic Koto Music | Fast Koto Music | Contemporary Koto Music | Koto Rock | J-Rock

Old 4G Phone Works After Sim Card From New Phone pftq 2022-02-19 | Old 4G phone disabled by 3G sunset works fine after using an activated sim card from a new "approved" phone, showing it's just AT&T or other carriers disabling the sim rather than the phone actually ceasing to function. See: pftq.com/blabberbox/?page=Old_Phone_Works_After_Activating_Sim_on_New_PhoneBasically AT&T and other carriers are claiming you need to buy a new phone because your phone doesn't work after 3G is shut down, when actually it is just them disabling your sim card. I'm not saying all old phones will continue to work but that they are taking advantage of the transition to arbitrarily disable all old phones without checking case by case if it still works.Hard part about making the video is I already activated the new sim card with the new phone, so I can't show that it didn't work on the old phone previously (it didn't) - can only show that the old phone with its old sim clearly disabled and no 4G but works as soon as the new sim is swapped in.
Sparkle in the Dust - Piano & Strings pftq 2022-02-15 | Piano and strings bit that were leftovers to the more uplifting Sparkle piece from my earlier years. It's a complete opposite of the more blissful feel of the original released song, and it was hard to figure how to finish, as a result. Original song here: youtube.com/watch?v=tWwqOauKY-AExtended version:Spotify: open.spotify.com/album/4XfjxSrsbzXo9E1vYEtzJ4?si=CZiX-h7eQ8qJwa82LHwgKgNewgrounds: newgrounds.com/audio/listen/1111411Soundcloud: soundcloud.com/pftq/sparkle-in-the-dust
Raindrops (Piano Version) - Sound of Rain in All Its Forms pftq 2022-02-11 | Piano version of the original Raindrops track that recently got remastered here:youtu.be/k2-Lc6TU1H4I figured I might as well have the piano version get a similar treatment here and be released on its own for the first time, since it was never published previously.Bandcamp: pftq.bandcamp.com/album/raindrops-2Newgrounds: newgrounds.com/audio/listen/1110567Soundcloud: soundcloud.com/pftq/raindrops-pianoSpotify: open.spotify.com/album/5Fs3DQqjbYgwvGlKGrKOFX
Raindrops - Music Inspired by Rain and Sun pftq 2022-02-11 | 20220206: After 12 years, I finally remastered this properly! Didn't even replace the Edirol VST, so really had to dig into the EQ to make the music sound clearer/louder while preserving the original sound.Bandcamp: pftq.bandcamp.com/album/raindrops-2Newgrounds: newgrounds.com/audio/listen/324986Soundcloud: soundcloud.com/pftq/raindropsSpotify: open.spotify.com/album/5Fs3DQqjbYgwvGlKGrKOFXI also uploaded a piano version as well, which has a similar remaster treatment:youtu.be/cvF9Oae1yNsOld version if you want to compare: youtube.com/watch?v=cIYSy8CtoPs-----------------------------------Original Post: April 11, 2010As the title suggests, think of rain when you hear this song. Think of rain in all its forms (drizzling, shower, storm, hail...) and then think of the sun when it begins to emerge. The initial idea was for the piano to represent rain and the flute as either life in general or the sun (just something counter to the chaos), but it's really up to interpretation. I just happened to think of this song during a rainy day. :PI had the theme going in my head for almost a month before I was finally able to record it; initially I kept playing it in the wrong key signature and even after I've finished the song now, I don't think I actually got the right one. -_- If anyone knows an easy way to shift all notes up or down a few steps in FL Studio (all channels + patterns), please let me know (but then I might end up even more indecisive :P ). I actually have a version of the song shifted up to an A-flat key instead (correct me if I'm wrong; I can't read music), but it's only in piano: pftq.com/raindropsp (can't decide which I like better)Originally there were two endings very similar, but I liked them both too much to give up either. I ended up just having the second ending modified to hopefully not to be similar. One way to imagine it is the first ending results in the storm taking over while the second ending represents a recovery or aftermath (think after the storm).The one thing that kept bothering me the most about this song were the transitions; I still don't think I managed to get them right, but alas I'm out of ideas for this one now.

Created this in a day for part of a longer piece, but thought the segment was interesting enough to listen to on its own. As usual, there's a koto in there.
Cloudful (Piano Music, Re-Rendered) pftq 2021-12-26 | A rerender of some older piano from 2010 when my left hand was much more limited, but as it is one of the few happier renditions of this melody, I thought it was worth restoring with higher quality samples.This is an improvisation off the melodies from the Cloudless songs below:Cloudless Dreams (2014): youtube.com/watch?v=THzuPvPlKjgCloudless (original): youtube.com/watch?v=zovN-uqimKQElsewhere:pftq.com: pftq.com/cloudfulpNewgrounds: newgrounds.com/audio/listen/414024

Cloudless Daydream - Slow, Melancholic Piano Improvisation pftq 2021-07-04 | Slow, melancholic piano improvisation I played some time about a year ago. It doesn't really go anywhere, but the melody comes back every now and then for me. The original melody and piece in Cloudless Dreams is much more uplifting, but in some ways, it feels like that only ever remained a dream while reality took this route instead.Elsewhere:Newgrounds: newgrounds.com/audio/listen/1051786Soundcloud: soundcloud.com/pftq/cloudless-daydream-pianoSpotify: open.spotify.com/album/0BZRwCYBbTFmnJsUBLhGDIThe original Cloudless motifs, which if you like can be further listened to under Cloudless Medley: youtube.com/watch?v=w7FDe7hU9iw
Cloudless Sky - Piano Duet Improvisation (Azuria Sky vs pftq) pftq 2021-05-16 | Duet piano improvisation with Azuria Sky some years back that we both forgot about. Starts with some motifs from my Cloudless melodies before branching into something different. Everything is made up live on the spot with no sheet music, and it was the first time we ever played together. A video breaking out the notes by player is above, but the software stopped separating the notes about half-way through, making it unclear who was playing what. The arpeggios are always from Azuria Sky, since I can't play those myself. And the random dissonant / creepy changes in tone are probably me.Newgrounds: newgrounds.com/audio/listen/1033183Spotify: open.spotify.com/track/6b8Yy5BjkhvTnNnPz2Juuk?si=cff73ea59a104886Soundcloud: soundcloud.com/pftq/cloudless-sky-pianoFollow Azuria Sky at:youtube.com/user/azuriaskysoundcloud.com/azuriaskyopen.spotify.com/artist/5SqkdSX5Rj9cRrV7fqyLwDtwitter.com/azuria_sky

The Same Four Notes in Us, Annihilation, & Dark City pftq 2019-03-25 | Had these four notes from the Us trailer stuck in my head for the longest time and couldn't quite place why it sounded like I heard them in orchestral form before, then realized I heard them in Annihilation, and before that, Dark City.Music obviously isn't mine but is meshed together just for fun to show how similar the pieces are from each respective movie. Ironically, Dark City is the most uplifting variation of the melody and most thoroughly explores it.Credits to Michael Abels for Us, Ben Salisbury & Geoff Barrow for Annihilation, Trevor Jones for Dark City

Heart of Forma (Koto Climax / Video Game Boss Music) pftq 2019-02-01 | Climax / boss-music portion of the Heart of Forma OST I made a few years back. Thought it was catchy enough that it might be worth uploading on its own in case people don't get around to listening through the full OST. The instrumentation is intentionally MIDI / retro-sounding to match the old-school look of the video game.

Leap Motion Telekinesis Demo 4 - Polterghost Game pftq 2018-04-29 | Another game concept idea I built around 2014, from the Leap Motion Telekinesis engine I created in videos 1 and 2.

Heart of Forma OST pftq 2018-04-15 | Sep.08 2014 - Aug.23 2016, Remastered Apr.14 2018This is music for a small side-scroller indie space game that was under development by a colleague. The game is light-hearted and somewhat retro, so the music will sound cheesy and a little MIDI-ish at times. I went pretty loose with my composing here and just went with whatever flowed to me rather than try to think too hard. Probably the most fun and relaxed I've had composing in a while. A lot of my influence probably comes from older Sega or PS1 games.Unfortunately, the game appears to have stalled in production, so I wrapped up what I could of the song after about 2 years of it sitting idle.Elsewhere:Bandcamp: pftq.bandcamp.com/album/heart-of-forma-ostSpotify: open.spotify.com/album/2hBf6elFaqtqaDdq9IC4doNewgrounds: http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/700198SoundCloud: soundcloud.com/pftq/heart-of-forma-ost
Anuwera (Piano Version) pftq 2018-04-11 | Short piano solo improvisation derived from the base melody in my earlier #Anuwera music piece. Played in parts and cleaned up in FL Studio. Can't escape the feeling that I've heard the melody before elsewhere, so if anyone's heard it before, let me know. It might also just be stereotypical fantasy/medieval motifs.Elsewhere:Newgrounds.com: newgrounds.com/audio/listen/800376Soundcloud: soundcloud.com/pftq/anuwera-piano-solo-versSpotify: open.spotify.com/album/3P2Nt0VQMUwiMnRnDjA0RL?si=tVInWdcRS9OJOMFKACUGqA

Fully Autonomous Trading with No Human Intervention - Tech Trader pftq 2016-10-12 | A simple presentation deck I created for Tech Trader (techtrader.ai), a fully autonomous trading system that has been live with no human intervention for over 4 years. Originally I would just call it fully automated trading (all the way through, no occasional updates or manual processing of trades), but at the time, people started using that to describe things that were still modified/refined every month or so. Of course, now that I've moved to using "fully autonomous trading" to describe what I'm doing, the same thing is slowly happening to that phrase as well.Anyway, the presentation is kept at a high level and discusses the technology and thought process behind the system. It also touches on my short thought piece "Creating Sentient Artificial Intelligence", which gives a sense of the thinking behind how I approached the trading (inspired by but not itself the AI concept): pftq.com/blabberbox/?page=Creating_Sentient_Artificial_IntelligenceAbout Tech Trader:techtrader.aiTech Trader is a fully autonomous trading system live across thousands of stocks with no human intervention. It is unique from conventional algorithmic trading systems, not only because it actually is fully automated trading, but because it takes a "human" approach to markets. It is not quant. It is not stat-arb. It is not high frequency. It is a program that looks at stocks the same way a person would but with the cold discipline and infinite attention span of a machine. It is analogous to having a thousand traders each focusing on a single stock, as opposed to a single quant manager trying to make sense of a thousand datapoints. A person doesn't think through stats, correlations, or complex math models when trading, and neither does Tech Trader. Tech Trader leverages technology to do what the best traders do at scale and maximum efficiency rather than approach the markets from the point of view of an academic, mathematician, or scientist.All content is copyrighted and not to be distributed.#AutonomousTrading #FullyAutomatedTrading
