Week 3 of posting a track! My goal for this piece was to try and create an electronic track with a lot of automation. Turns out that is a lot of fun! #edm #electronicmusic #flstudio #indiedev

Week 2 of posting a track! This time it's another one from the recent game jam I participated in! Inspired by Magical Girl, anime, and touhou. #touhou #electronicmusic #flstudio #indiegame

I'm working on this track for a arcade game jam at the moment. Think Magic Girl meets Vampire Survivor that's what the game is looking to be #touhou #electronicmusic #flstudio

It's #bandcampfriday? That's convenient I just released this EP last week. Do you like acts such as Radiohead or the Beatles? They are some of the major influences on this EP's sound. It's about 15 minutes long and is only $5.99 to support an indie artist! jondare.bandcamp.com/album/becomi...

Last week I participated in Global Game Jawn, a 48 hour Game Jam that took place in Philadelphia. Together with two other awesome people we made Jewel Heist. I composed the music and did some sound design work as well. This is one of the tracks: #chiptune #composer #vgm art by @nateycakes.com

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. #composer #flstudio #gamedev

My local radio station put on a 24 Hour Song Challenge and I participated! I wrote all the music and played every instrument. My friend Dylan produced and did audio engineering. The result: a psychedelic bedroom pop-esque song! #psychedelicrock #bedroompop #indiepop #indiemusic

When I was younger, I used to make "revamps" of older Pokémon sprites from Gen 1/2 into the style of Gens 3/4/5. Decided to try again with Clefairy from Pokemon Silver! I'm more of a composer than a pixel artist but I have fun making these. Have you made a "revamp" before? #pokemon #pixelart
