This video was taken by pointing a camera up at water inside a spherical container, sitting on top a subwoofer. The vibrations generally range from 40 to 60 Hz and can be visualized through the water via cymatics.

I've been digging into the Midwest Emo genre and thought I'd put my own spin on it. I wanted to make something Anamanaguchi -esque. The whole track is in 7/4, which lends itself to a bit of a challenge, but the chord progression is pretty simple.

It was so fun to put this song together and experiment with many new instruments and sounds! Ample Guitar, Super Mario World, Undertale, and Miku! I feel so glad to finally be able to put these all out. Here's to a 2025 full of fun new music! This is my most exploratory song yet, accompanied by the most challenging animation I've whipped up so far. I hope it is all worth it.

I wanted to combine electronic rock with chiptune for this song. Got my hands on some good guitar and drum plugins to give it that rock feel! Learned a little more Blender to add that animated flair along with After Effects for the text effects.
Enjoy!You Wouldnt Download a Star | TheMordentTheMordent2024-06-26 | Piracy, it's a crime!
Listening to breakcore and DnB has made me want to try my hand at it. Entirely sampled the drums for this one, with a mixture of 3/4 goodness. I've also learned how to use Blender these past few months and made a full character model for Mininaut! This should help me out in the artwork department. I think it turned out pretty good!
It's a shame Mini-naut's new computer keeps crashing.
'Once in a Blue Screen' features some instrumentation from Chipsounds, Chipcrusher, and Chipspeech. I love the SAM voice I've used in previous videos, so I was surprised to find out there was a version of it that sings in Chipspeech! I wanted to keep glitchy 8-bit sounds and solos running at max capacity, hopefully your computer doesn't explode!
Be careful cruising around Jupiter, Mini-naut just crashed his ship!
'Red Spot Speedway' features my first composition in FL Studio. Not sure if I like the workflow yet, but I'm really impressed with the crisp and polish audio of this one compared to some of my other songs. F-ZERO sound effects and solos are at an all time high to keep you on the edge of your cruiser!
Mini-naut's got a new pair of pants! They have a mind of their own, but they're not too comfortable to walk around in. When putting them on, you might notice a slight buzzing sensation as the speakers activate.
'Radio Pants' features plenty of radio lines, SFX, and of course solos. I wanted to go all out in my last song using Pro Tools, so in my future work, you can expect to see some compositions written in FL Studio :) Artwork by yours truly.
Enjoy!ASSISTED LIVING - TeaserTheMordent2022-09-19 | Welcome to retirement! Navigate an unusual world full of confusion and derangement. When your time comes, the memories you’ve chosen to hold onto will control the fate of you and those around you...
Song (mixed by yours truly): Chopin - Prelude in E Minor - Op. 28 No. 4
Now in development! No promises though lol, thought this would be a cool concept to show off :)
In the trip around the Solar System, Mini-naut has stopped by Saturn for a sugary drink. Mini-naut has also met a furry friend on the way.
"Saturn Slush" uses some techniques with UVI Falcon! I've been exploring some of its presets/effects, this is the result! The track features changing drums patterns, melody handoffs, Kirby callouts, some Super Mario Bros sound, and of course, plenty of solos :)

"Bubble Bytes" is a delightful and diverse collection of chiptune/8-bit songs by TheMordent. These tracks were made at different points throughout the past 3 years, with 2 of them being brand-new and 5 being remastered for this release. This collection features engaging performances of tracks inspired audibly by their respective names, as well as individual music videos for each track. "Bubble Bytes" culminates in the production of its first track, Bubblegum Gambit, complete with vocals (a first for me) and a polished mix.

Bubblegum Gambit the story of a frustrated gold digger who ends up killing her husband for his life insurance money. She also has an obsession with candy and bubble gums, so I use lots of bubble-popping sound effects.
