Hi y’all,
September was a crazy month for Paradiddles and me, production-wise. Two tracks posted from GSM last month, as well as becoming official OCReMixers!
I also had a head injury at work that hasn’t healed fully yet.
Unfortunately this means no track will be posted for October; considering the amount of tracks posted this year already though, we’re at a good clip! We’ll see you in November with more mashup VGM mixes, as Game-Set-Mash Vol 2 begins soon!

We're hopping off the remix content to bring some original work in this month, right at the deadline - as is the custom, I'm told.
Have you ever back-burnered a piece and it took 10 years to come back to? That's this month's mix, The 13th Hour! It used to be (horribly) titled Mirth and the Oppression because 13-year-old me thought words can just be slammed together and meaning suddenly happens!
I was wrong, but let this be a testament to never giving up on your ideas, even if it takes you a decade to finish them!
Pixels & Paraddidles are making waves in more spaces than just NG, and we can't wait to share the news with you!.. it just isn't ready yet! :P

It took a bit of time to put things together after having a couple of gigs to play, but Josh and finished this one up today! It's a monster of a Final Fantasy VII medley, amalgamated from "Judgment Day," "Mako Reactor 1 (FFVII Remake)," "J-E-N-O-V-A," "Those Chosen By The Planet," and "Shin-Ra Corporation." Stylistically, it's Harry Gregson-Williams meets Gojira.
Fancy a peak behind the curtain to see what we're cooking up? Then swing by our Trello board to gather up that intel.
That's all for this update. Tune in next month for the next

It's in the name! Josh and I have found that the best way for us to put out material is to work inside (accomplishable) deadlines and to have a theme in mind. And for all of the headache that Project 26 was to produce, it remains a critical point of our growth.
So with all that said, we're gonna work on one track from scratch a month and upload it. These will be a blend of original pieces as well as some modern takes on our VGM remixes - all of it will be in a guitar-driven/chiptune VGM format.
We're excited that Clockstopper (New Game+ All Clocks%) made front page for April (which is a first for us!!) and can't wait to make, well, one more attempt every month!
Thanks for the listens, reviews, votes, and favorites. Be back at you soon with more!

10 years is probably long enough for a hiatus.
This place was a big thing for me as a kid, in the heyday of Flash cartoons, and I'm so glad to see it's still around and thriving. I never did do any animations I felt good enough to post, but hell, I'm in college for an animation degree and I still sling my axe everywhere I go.
More music on the way. Animations coming at some point too.
Thanks for still being here <3

Is anybody even here? Hello? Maybe I should tap on the monitor a couple more times.
Oh shit, red light's on. You can all hear this. Okay, let's get started.
So I haven't been on in quite some time, mostly due to computer restraints. All of my equipment for recording is at my band's practice studio, my one active computing system is currently my Droid X2, and I've found myself Homestuck.
Which means I've been doing pretty much nothing but living, breathing, reading, listening to Homestuck.
What this means for you NewGroundsers (NewGroundsians? NewGroundsans?) is that anything I put up from here on out will be Homestuck music. Mostly.
Speaking of, the good folks over at What Pumpkin (the store inside of MSPA, the site I just linked you to) ran a contest last year for fan music to be entered into their catalog, and Joshy676 and myself got in with CLOCKSTOPPER! You can hear the low-quality track here on NG or here on BandCamp (as well as the rest of the 64-track double album!).
Better than that, a few months back several musicians from the colours & Mayhem session got together with me and collab'd a piece that appeared on their 9th canonical album called DOGFIGHT. I play bass, one half of the rhythm guitars, and a segment of the lead at the end!
We're busy concocting something for Vol. 10, and I've got some Homestuck mixes of my own on the way that will be hosted here (and on my SoundCloud). If you are familiar with some of the tunes, this is will be -EXCITING N--EWS FOR YOU GLUB GLUB; if you aren't, prepare for an onslaught of progressive metal meets shoegaze meets stoner rock. It's gonna be fantastic!
Now how do I turn off this damn recor--
