Welp, here I am.

For those just finding me on here, I’m Xander! I’m a multi-instrumentalist based near Pittsburgh with a love for uncommon world woodwinds! I upload Nintendo covers to YouTube and also have some experience in Audio Engineering!
I don’t know if there’s anyone else on this campus more fit for the job.

(There is. I’m surrounded by cracked musicians all day)

Seeing some others post about it so I’ll hop on board and say that I’ll be attending VGM CON again this year! Can’t say what for yet, but I’ll have plenty of free time if anyone needs some saxes or flutes!

MAGFest Day 2!

Girlfriend made me shave :(

I have barely been able to sleep at all. Too excited for Day 1 of MAGFest… The exhaustion’s gonna hit heavy on Sunday

We’ve got stickers B)

We’re a week away from MAGFest, so here’s a look at the lineup of Exceptional Goblins for our Super set! Can’t wait for everyone to hear what we have in store!

Gotta get used to being a Goblin… and fast! Can’t wait to see all my friends back at MAGFest soon!!!
Ian Cowell and the Band of Exceptional Goblins are coming to the XP Stage! From funny synths, to funky bass to slammin' drums - all led by greasy, stinky guitars - this band knows how to get you on your feet. Join them for a romp through generations of gaming!

Unsurprisingly after just three hours this project is seeing the largest influx of new musicians to GG I've seen in a long time.

Spite is my most powerful motivator and I cannot wait to get this project fully underway. Hot music made by hot women. Let's fucking go.
Just announced this in the GameGrooves server but I'm putting the call out more publicly: I'm co-producing a Street Fighter II album to release in line with the game's 35th anniversary.

With all women as primary artists.

If you're not already in GG, join the discord here: discord.gg/HswzcZqW

Was jamming too hard, I guess…

Aiming to apply for a Gaylord tool for MAGFest this year but already have a room right in the harbor through timeshare.

If any friends going to MAG want to room with me and a friend or two, shoot me a message!

We really let loose across a lot of diverse material on this set. Can’t wait to do another Karma Cronies gig with @xanderplute.bsky.social & company

Here’s my set with the Karma Cronies from VGM CON a few months ago!!!

We're excited to feature some music from the Persona offshoot games. @xanderplute.bsky.social brings an eclectic sensibility to his arrangement of Axe to Grind from Persona 5 Strikers!

If anyone knows any drummers somewhat local to Ohio potentially down for a simple gig on July 5th, please shoot me a message!

Finally learning to slap after having played the bass for 3 years… oops.

Looks like I’ll be sitting my ass on the streets of New York for a few days until the Switch 2 launch!

I started Xenoblade X’s new chapter today and the new character’s fit goes SO HARD! I want his jacket…

Every concert needs a Taco Bell beat drop… Our percussionist did not disappoint.

Was playing bass guitar in a studio from 12-7 today (with some breaks). My fingers and shoulders were FEELING it. Props to you bass guitarists…

Best Buy gave me more stress tonight than I’ve felt in the past two years of my life…

But I’ve got a Switch 2 waiting for me on June 5th!

Foolishly agreed to film a ‘quick video’ for the percussion ensemble tonight after getting back from VGM CON yesterday only to find that I will likely be here for the next 3 hours after a long day of classes…

Rookie mistake.
