@neoncowell.bsky.social’s set at MAGFest 2024 was one of those rare life-affirming concert experiences and I’ll treasure my memories of that set for all my days.
Go see them on the XP Stage on Saturday at 2:30pm.

i also enjoyed being on this track a LOT (thanks @coryjohnsonvgm.bsky.social !!!), i’m early into playing tunic but what a game, and i’ve listened to the soundtrack a bunch, too. this is AWESOME stuff in there by @angrypolarbear.bsky.social
For November’s @dwellingofduels.bsky.social contest, the wonderful @coryjohnsonvgm.bsky.social asked me to collaborate on a track from the incredible game Tunic, a cover of the piano-led “Remember To Remember”. There was going to be some room for solos from me and the other collaborators.

Remember Token Tango by @davidwise.bsky.social? It's a great track, but I was wondering what it would sound like if it was actually an Argentinian tango...

The dweller kongs rely on all sorts of species for their musical shenanigans. One of such "animal friends" is @roninopf.bsky.social, know for his superb violin performances. This multifaceted bird also displays a liking for styles such as breakbeat and hip hop in his solo work.
