Worked on this chill/lofi inspired track for a game about star gazing. In game this track is broken into layers that play when you get closer to an object the player is supposed to look at.

This is all the layers playing at once.

Little synth version of my track, "Victory is Certain". Fun fact, this track is actually featured in the game Speed Run 4!

I made a quick beat on stream last Sunday using only FL Keys, including for the drums. Here's a small highlight from that stream.

Follow me at www.twitch.tv/jondaremusic

I stream weekly on Sundays at 7pm EST. Maybe more often in the future!

Performing "Part" from my album Part with my Hafsol bandmate Dylan on the drums. First time doing this setup at a venue. It was really fun!

Do you like Pokémon and piano music?

Here's my cover of "Gate" from Pokémon Black & White! This is one of my favorite lesser known tracks.

This cover was done as part of a larger collab album called VGM Pianists. It's 36 tracks of Pokémon piano!

I made this chiptune inspired song a little while ago as a demo for a game. Think of a bird in flight as the imagery!
