here's a little bit of one of my favorite tracks from the new zelda album, "Sheikah Tower" ♡
these minimalistic themes are always so much fun to re-interpret and expand on ♡
check out this one (and the full album!) wherever you listen to music: vgm.fm/hyrulecafe3

i am 32k words into the first draft of this novel (a lot of which will probably be cut down/streamlined) and this is SO much fun. it feels so creatively fulfilling to see a concept from my brain directly materialized into words, and everyone should give it a try at least once in their lives
started writing a novel as a pet project and honestly: making time to create something just for myself, without any obligation/expectations to profit or share it, has been one of the best decisions i've ever made for my mental health as a full-time creative 🥲

finished Clair Obscur — 7/10, FANTASTIC gameplay, great music, but some pacing issues and missed opportunities with the narrative and character development. the endings made me cry. overall would recommend

worked with Shea recently—not only is she incredibly skilled; she's lightning-fast, great to communicate with, and infuses so much emotion and texture into her playing. highly recommended!
My partner is burned out at work and needs to take a couple months of FMLA unpaid starting next month. If anyone needs some remote session recording (violin/viola/erhu/guitar), arrangement, transcription, or composition help, I'm looking for more work!

for this album i really wanted to lean into organic, acoustic instrumentation, and for this song in particular, i wanted to adapt it for live strings. so happy with how it turned out ✨

i seldom recommend things here but if you get the chance — go see the new looney tunes movie The Day The Earth Blew Up!! i haven't had this much fun at a theater in a long time and it's such a shame it didn't get any marketing budget. feels really good to see great 2D animation on a big screen too ✨
