Happy anniversary to Final Fantasy V, released on this day in 1992! Enjoy this short cover of the best song from FFV through one of my favorite pedal combos, synth > zero-through flanger

Envelope-filtered delays?? The Empress Echosystem does it!

Enjoy this short section of "Theme of a Moonlit Night" from #Suikoden complete with a clean dry signal and a "wah" style dynamic envelope filter on the delays

Yup, even in Colorado we’re getting insane views of the Northern Lights. Even with the light pollution, easy to see!

New lifer, the Least Bittern! A super-rare sighting in my neck of the woods

They truly are the “least” of their grouping, less than a quarter the size I expected. Do you see it?

The latest DEVO documentary is on Netflix now, and I *highly* recommend it to anyone interested in the music industry of the 70’s and 80’s

Particularly interesting to see how the Kent State incident and Dadaism directly affected how Mothersbaugh and crew approached performance art

Just played the demo for Minishoot Adventures from SoulGame Studio. Really, really fun little combo of twin-stick shooter, bullet-hell, and 2D adventure in a slick package with great controls. Very few complaints on this little gem, easy wishlist.

The main melody to the "Ghost Valley" tracks from Super Mario Kart on the SNES. The Catalinbread Perseus DIO is feeding two additional sub octaves of synthy grit into the Walrus R1 Reverb on 'Air' mode with the high, wispy sustains maxed out. Happy Halloween!

Catching some @v0oid.tv streams of SMRPG today reminded me of this tasty lick I recorded a while back

Performed through the CatalinBread Perseus DIO, Tone Charm SNES Fuzz, AMpT AFG-1, and Empress Phaser for absolute crunchy synth goodness

The only production where you can see Gandalf, Emperor Palpatine, M, Muldoon, and the Sheriff of Rottingham share a stage

Getting excited for #Kirby Air Riders? Take a nostalgia trip into one of my favorite tracks from the Gamecube original, "Top Ride - Fire"

Heard here with the LPD Pedals Lucent (boosted bass, added overdrive guitar), BOSS SY-1, and Walrus ACS1 for that heavy, thumpy feel

Finally watched this classic among the original spooky season films. Not to be *that* guy, but… the book is better

Finished this gem today for the first time, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown. A great palette cleanser after Silksong

Great combat, good interwoven puzzles without slowing the pace, enjoyable exploration, and a small yet fun cast of characters. Music was fitting, but mostly same-y and forgettable

The latest @summoningsalt.bsky.social video reminded me of this little proof-of-concept I recorded a few months back

Always a good idea to split and sum your synth effects on guitar so you still get a usable clean or "regular dirt" sound to blend!

I can now say I've officially contributed to routing for "Super Mario 64 120-Star Blindfolded" runs ⭐

Go watch Bubzia's latest video on this! It's a really interesting route for such a compact area

Need to detox from Silksong?

Consider Dorfromantik, a delightful little tile-laying city builder akin to the board game Carassonne

No pressure, great aesthetics, and a chill progression system 🌾⛵️

One of the most underrated practice tools for guitarists.

No, not the duck… well… maybe the duck?
