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!
Was jamming too hard, I guess…

(The sax is ok!)

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'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.

Playing Bamboo Boogaloo from The Messenger with @xanderplute.bsky.social & The Karma Kronies was a weekend highlight. I love this OST so much.

VGM CON had me unsuccessfully holding back tears multiple times both during and since the event. This community rules and I couldn’t be more grateful to be just a small part of it! You all rock!!!

I have arrived in Minneapolis at… 7:33am local time. Maybe I’ll get some sleep before rehearsals tonight.

Anyone heading to VGM CON comfortable with a camera? I’m hoping to get some additional shots with my personal camera for my set at 3pm on Friday!

Been very busy prepping for VGM CON alongside classes, but I’ve somehow managed to keep my physical health a consistent priority!

Been running and working out, and thanks to one of my friends, I’ve started rock climbing multiple times a week! Really kills the forearms…
