Do you think Legends Z-A forces you to wear that ugly hat so you’ll interact with the clothing menu?

New video - Lace from Silksong, but it’s a marimba quartet. In other news, Silksong so good it got me back into making marimba arrangements

Full video on YouTube etc. etc.

Silksong is coming out this week! Here’s an oldie but a goodie, I can’t believe I made this video over 5 years ago

Finally saw Jaws for the first time last night at the 4K imax re-release. What an incredible movie.

Even with the older lady reciting every single one of Quint’s lines with him 😅

Got a tasty Let’s Go catch em all PB last night! Never thought I’d say this but sub 5 feels possible.

Apparently Dallas is having apocalyptic weather because my 6 hour travel day turned into a 15 hour travel day

I’ve been wanting to do this project for literally years and I finally got it started: a true marimba transcription of Keith Jarrett’s The Köln Concert! I hope you enjoy :)

Almost a sub 3 with the hardware hard carry, haven’t ran this category since the tournament last Summer and did safe strats on the e4. New Switch is crazy.

This just got verified and reminded me that I forgot that I got sub-5:15 in Let’s Go Eevee All Obtainables a few weeks ago!

A 7 minute PB! Not quite the sub-3:30 I was hoping for, but a HUGE improvement after two years away from this game!

Took this Sunday night. Hasn’t snowed like this in the city in a few years

Now that my album is done it’s time to look toward the next project! And I’ll say absolutely nothing about it except that I’ve been wanting to do this for a really long time.
Also I’m writing a steel pan solo.

Slowed down pop song. BIG EPIC drums (4 E AND UH 1 into the repeat of the chord progression). Gun shots and reloading timed with the music.
Bruh why are most movie trailers so cringe
