My buddy Brian, creator of StacheBros, is currently facing severe financial hardships. He was laid off last year, and the job market hasn't been kind to him. He has a family with two kids, and he's stuck in a desperate situation. Video below if you'd like to support him. youtu.be/hSHfoOdwas0

We just released this teaser I scored kinda impromptu, but I've been the dedicated composer for this project since 2019. They're a very small team on this mod, but a lot's been slowly happening over the years, and this teaser's a small celebration of that. youtu.be/09tFnO_OHuo

And to be clear, I'm doing fine. Things weren't quite coming together as smoothly as I'd hoped, and missing my self-imposed deadline slowly took the wind out of my sails. Eventually, I just needed a change in scenery. It is what it is, but I will get back to this at some point.

Full disclosure, I've been taking a mental health break from this album due to hitting a creative road bump with the new material. Hopefully I'll get back into the swing of things eventually, but yeah. Just know that I wanna release this stuff as much as you all wanna hear it. 📺

Go support this movie if you haven't already. It is the coolest fucking thing ever getting to see my friend @elsielovelock.bsky.social give one of her unbelievable performances on the big screen, and I'm ABSOLUTELY seeing this again before it's out of theaters.

Another highlight was this reversed Guinevere section. While reversing the music was pitched in the rough cut, I thought it'd be funny if the Guinevere motif still played "normally" backwards. This was my way of riffing off the whole "temp VO" gag with some extra weirdness. (3/3)

Jared Carey @jaredcarey.bsky.social · 29/01/2026

Part of the joke for me was releasing "Glitch Karts (Score To Picture Version)" as a separate track on the album. I've never had to write a score, then thrash it around with jarring cuts for comedic effect, but it was fun. I just tried to make myself laugh in the edit. lol (2/3)

110

Jared Carey @jaredcarey.bsky.social · 29/01/2026

Fun fact, this section of the Glitch Karts merch video was originally stock music, but I thought it'd be much funnier to write an entirely separate jazz piece JUST for this edit. It's a complete throwaway track, made to hard cut in and out of, and I think that's hilarious. (1/3)

130

Jared Carey @jaredcarey.bsky.social · 12/01/2026

So technically there's 9 tracks on the album, but I wouldn't consider them 9 different songs, if that makes sense. There's alternates and other variants sprinkled throughout the lineup. It's a fairly small scale release, but it should still be fun. It puts all the Mr. Puzzles material in one place.

130

Jared Carey @jaredcarey.bsky.social · 11/01/2026

Tbh the whole reason I announced the Mr. Puzzles album when I did was to force people to know about it, therefore I have to get it done. lol So if you'd like to force MORE people to know about it, uh... I mean, I'm not gonna work any faster, but I'll appreciate the enthusiasm! 📺

Jared Carey @jaredcarey.bsky.social · 11/01/2026

Tfw you've committed to this brand new song on the Mr. Puzzles album nobody's asking for, and it's taking the most time to make, but you really love it and hope it'll resonate with people. Oh uhh, there's a Mr. Puzzles album coming when it's done. 🙃 #SMG4 #mrpuzzles

Jared Carey @jaredcarey.bsky.social · 29/12/2025

Dude yeah, Tunnel of Puzzles was the piece I was easily most excited about getting to write. Everything they'd built up with the character left me itching to take that cheery theme and twist it into this dark and sinister anthem. 📺🤘

010

Jared Carey @jaredcarey.bsky.social · 28/12/2025

That said, the unintended side benefit of waiting till after the Mr. Puzzles story has come to a close is that now I get to do something special with this album release. 📺

130

Jared Carey @jaredcarey.bsky.social · 28/12/2025

That's the plan, yeah. The Mr. Puzzles album likely won't release before the year's over anymore, but soon enough. 😅 I will clarify the only reason this music wasn't released sooner is that it wasn't baked into our release schedule at the time, so some stuff never made it out the door. That's all.

Jared Carey @jaredcarey.bsky.social · 28/12/2025

Hey, can we talk about how the first piece I ever wrote for the SMG4 channel is also the end credits music they used, meaning it's also the final music track that'll ever be heard on the show? I had nothing to do with that, but MAN did they pull a move on me with that choice. 😭

I've got an album release I'm hoping to get out before the end of the year. I'm currently cooking up some ALBUM EXCLUSIVE material to tie the whole release together, so we'll see if I make it. Either way, it'll be out soon enough, and trust me, it's WORTH the wait. Stay tuned! 📺

It's been fun showcasing our little Yuuki running gag, but this thread is actually just one big excuse to gush over AJ's work. Have you HEARD the music this man's been writing over the years? Dude inspires the heck out of me every day, and he's an amazing friend to boot. (13/16)

110

Jared Carey @jaredcarey.bsky.social · 30/11/2025

As far as I know, not even Glitch staff know the full Yuuki story at the time of this post. I know AJ at least showed @liamvickers.bsky.social there's a cat sample in Murder Drones (which I'm told he loves btw lol), but we've never really mentioned this wider context until now. (12/16)

110

Jared Carey @jaredcarey.bsky.social · 30/11/2025

If you've been a fan of Glitch for a long time, you've been secretly listening to my cat making assorted noises at you for years in the form of AJ's music. Wanna meet Yuuki? (11/16)

120

Jared Carey @jaredcarey.bsky.social · 30/11/2025

So when I was asked to compose the music for Glitch Karts, and Murder Drones was one of the main shows featured, of course I had to bring this whole thing full circle. Yuuki's my cat after all, so I made SURE he'd make it into the mashup AND the core game! (10/16)

120

Jared Carey @jaredcarey.bsky.social · 30/11/2025

You think I'm even close to running out of Murder Drones clips? Dude, I'm not messing around. Go revisit this show or it's soundtrack with these samples in mind. Legitimately, you almost can't go a minute without hearing my cat Yuuki in some form. It's genuinely absurd. (9/16)

120

Jared Carey @jaredcarey.bsky.social · 30/11/2025

With Murder Drones, AJ went kinda hog wild with the Yuuki samples. It ended up being one of the core pillars of this show's sound. You can spot Yuuki samples literally EVERYWHERE throughout the soundtrack. I'm not exaggerating. It's super frequent, yet always purposeful. (8/16)

120

Jared Carey @jaredcarey.bsky.social · 30/11/2025

I ended up sending AJ new samples for most new projects. I sent this file I named "Meows of Mild Anguish" with Murder Drones in mind. I was hugging Yuuki for a little too long, and he wanted down, so he let out the cutest meows. I was WHEEZING after this. 😂 Sweet baby. (7/16)

120

Jared Carey @jaredcarey.bsky.social · 30/11/2025

This one's a bit more subdued, but in Meta Runner Season 3, AJ wrote a new theme for Evelyn with the progression of her character, which again features my cat Yuuki, this time as this ambient synth layer. You'll hear this play in most of her scenes throughout the season. (6/16)

120

Jared Carey @jaredcarey.bsky.social · 30/11/2025

So anyway, Glitch's next show was Sunset Paradise, which featured a LITERAL CAT THEMED CHARACTER NAMED WHISK! The Yuuki gag was set in stone. How could it not be? The show LITERALLY called for it unknowingly. Do I even need to tell you where the samples are in this one? 😂 (5/16)

130

Jared Carey @jaredcarey.bsky.social · 30/11/2025

So there it was, a silly little easter egg of my cat meowing in the show. Nice and simple. AJ made some killer music, and I get to joke that my cat's in Meta Runner. That's the end of the thread everybody! Shorter than I expected actually. Thanks for stopping by! 👋 (4/16)

120

Jared Carey @jaredcarey.bsky.social · 30/11/2025

AJ then took that audio and incorporated it into his score. A big fight breaks out between Evelyn and Tari during this sequence, so AJ thought it'd be fun to attach the Yuuki sample to Evelyn's character as a subtle thematic element. Just a tiny splash of ear candy. (3/16)

130

Jared Carey @jaredcarey.bsky.social · 30/11/2025

This all started as a one-off joke when AJ was scoring the Hidden Heroes scenes in Meta Runner Season 2. We were in a call talking about something when my cat came meowing into the room. So on a whim, I went and picked up Yuuki, held him up to the mic, and recorded this: (2/16)

120

Jared Carey @jaredcarey.bsky.social · 30/11/2025

My cat has made an appearance in every @glitchprod.com show soundtrack that @ajdispirito.bsky.social has composed for apart from Season 1 of Meta Runner. His name's Yuuki, and this is a thread about all of his appearances on Glitch shows over the years. (1/16)
