I got to the see the Undertale Determination Symphony yesterday! Absolutely amazing renditions, and the venue was outdoors. We had a bit of rain, but it added to the experience 😄 it was so fun getting to share these moments with so many lovely folks in the crowd. Would go again!

I had the honor of helping out with one of the tracks for the #clubironmouse concert! (Snake Eater). Pretty surreal, and I got to be in the credits with my good friend Thunderscott :) I'm glad everyone had a great time!

The finishing touches I just barely ran out of time for on stream. Happy Birthday @shadycicada.bsky.social #art #b3d

Stylized 3D render of Shady Cicada jamming with a Monado-shaped guitar. Some very familiar-looking plains from a very specific game are behind him. Tiny text by his leg performs some quick elder abuse: "Ha, old!"

Today's my birthday! So many of my dreams have come true through this career path, and it's thanks to all of you giving some guy in his bedroom some support. You guys always motivated me to become better in so many ways, and I'm proud of where I am (and sleepy 😂) there will be more music, always (:

Appreciate you all (: I don't post often, mainly because of music work and life (+ social media can be a little exhausting). But I'll always be here to put out the best work I possibly can. Hopefully, I'll be able to tell you some fun things this year 😄 Thanks for the support!
