I hate the public internet for many reasons, yet I feel like social media is, to a degree, a necessary evil in order to network with other musicians. Especially as an aspiring professional.

Wish ppl'd be more generous with follows here (felt this bout twitter back in the day too). Artist posts piece, gets 1000+ reposts, 3000 likes, yet follower count remains low, why? Wouldn't you wanna see more from them? Or is it more important to keep your following count below some arbitrary number

God, the audio mastering tutorials I find on the internet are so all over the place - I can't find what's crucial. I think I have the gist of mastering, but do I really need to do more complicated things? #dtm #musicproduction

Not bad! I still think you got the jazz rhythm 👍

Messing around with chord progressions and lead melodies in a digital setting 🎵 #dtm

Like, were those artists trying so hard to stray away from electronic styles that were commonly performed as pop music? Btw, my fav musicians of that style are DRAX, Jeroen Tel, Jogeir Liljedahl, and Radix.

It's difficult to describe the style of a good chunk of demoscene module songs at the time. While some are straight-up DnB/techno, others resemble synthpop songs but also not TOO similar. By these modules, I mean MOD, XM, IT format. #chiptune #demoscene #dtm

Love the vibes, the chord progression and the harp atmosphere helps -w-

When thinking of Sonic the Hedgehog, Green Hill would be the first song that IMMEDIATELY comes to mind. What would be the one aside from Green Hill? Chemical Plant? Escape from the City? Emerald Hill? Angel Island? #sonicthehedgehog

I LOVE putting a lot of thought into my instrumentation, so it really does feel affirming when people compliment it :)

Windstepper | VGM Composer @windstepper.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

Probably because I was using #dtm and I was unaware that a feed based on that tag exists?

Okay, maybe there are some funk drum loop packs on Splice that I do appreciate, so I could get those once I'm exhausted from the drum loops I already have.

Windstepper | VGM Composer @windstepper.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

Seriously, I'm having trouble to find other good funk drum loop packs that I like, other than Zero-G Total Funk.

I seem to have a lowkey-addiction to incremental games when they involve moving the player around.

SNES funky rock time! Happens when I mess around at first and polishing it at the end. Enjoy the SNES music :) #furnace #furnacetracker #chiptune

I'm curious. How difficult do you guys find programming drum patterns?

Windstepper | VGM Composer @windstepper.bsky.social · 30/07/2026

Looks promising. It looks like the mist clouds simply obstruct the view? I initially thought it might've been used to propel the player upward.

Windstepper | VGM Composer @windstepper.bsky.social · 30/07/2026

Even though I'm jazz-influenced, it's so difficult for me to compose really crazy lines that can end up more dissonant 😅 like my innate habits want me to stay melodic and in key.

Windstepper | VGM Composer @windstepper.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

Sigh. It's difficult to find more musicians on Bluesky. Probably because many of them are still on Twitter and its algorithm might be successfully boosting them based on who we follow and like?

Well done!! It was especially fun to try catching the potato

This is solidly made, especially for a one-week game jam submission. Creative turn-based mechanics that affect your decision, but also the progression felt smooth, and you got lots of tower varieties that I actually found fun and diverse.

I really don't want to be around people that make violent threats or death wishes. Even if some people do horrible things, me stooping down low to dangerous levels will just make me miserable - it's triggering. I don't want to normalize that.

Making synthwave with only Yamaha DX7! #synthwave Drums are from TR-707 though.

It's FM. I was using one of DX7's default presets.

Many of the electronic drum sounds today are based on the TR-909 (and some 808 too), they must have a good foundation on electronic drum sound design. In my opinion, 909 has the punch.

Windstepper | VGM Composer @windstepper.bsky.social · 19/07/2026

The bass synth TB-303, and the drum machines TR-808 and 909. While they were supposedly trying to emulate real instruments, they failed miserably, so they flopped. However, 303 & 909 were still used in electro & pop music, and 808 in hip-hop & pop, and they were sold cheap in the used goods market.

While yes, saving my favorites do help a LOT, some song's styles are different and not every instrument type may fit the same way.

Windstepper | VGM Composer @windstepper.bsky.social · 10/07/2026

I hate that trying to pick the right instrument or sample for a song I make can be time-consuming. *plays one instrument to test it* "That doesn't sound right" *plays another* "That doesn't sound right either" *plays another* "Looks like that one works out well"

I've beta tested KiraStudio, which has improved a lot with more quality of life, many more bugfixes, and new instruments and effects. If you want to stray away from VSTs and DAWs' complexities, give this one a try! You can still at least use soundfonts and samples. kirastudio.org/doc/releases...

I've opened up music commissions! I can compose music that can fit YOUR video game, film, etc. Check my Carrd website in bio for my music portfolio! Reading my commission policy is also required too - make sure you do this!
