Dirk Your-Fave-Is-Problematic Strider. So this is nominally one of those ‘redraw it 10 years later’ things, but the 2012 piece is so hilariously bad by comparison that I’m embarrassed to show it. Have a shadesless softboi version, too. Also I wasn’t sure where the hell to crop this, so if the canvas seems unnecessarily large, sorry?
This is a redo and reupload of an earlier track, with new instrumentation and a better arrangement. I've always thought of Windy Elegy as one of the better pieces I've written, and I wanted to showcase a version that did it justice. I even updated the track art!

I didn't set out to make a cover or a remix of Crystalanthemums. I laid down the piano bassline/triplet section and the oboe before it occurred to me that the chord progression was the same, so I threw in the melody from Crystalanthemums to see if it worked, and lo and behold, it fit perfectly.
the crystalanthemums cover pile doesnt stop from getting taller

“Our Lady of Sorrows” 2017
Based on the traditional iconic depiction of Mary. I tried to make it as symbolic as possible, so take a close look at the halo for some fun details.

After listening to LOFAM4 for the 10th time i finally realised Reunited and Reconciled were by the same artist. They both give me a serious attack of homestuck feels everytime I listen to them, thank you!
Aww, no, thank YOU! I've done a lot of branching out over the years into more orchestral styles of music, but those two tracks were a 'return to my roots' of EDM, so they have a special place in my heart. I'm so glad they've come to mean something to someone else.
AMV: You Touch My Tralala - Christophe Giacometti
If you watch this AMV and come away with the sense that there's a Viktor/Yuuri/Chris subtext to it, then let me tell you my friend, you are absolutely correct.
Music: “Ding Dong Song” - Günther and the Sunshine Girls Video: Yuri!!! On Ice
Doing YOI fanart is a great way to practice anatomy! (As if I needed an excuse...) Please fullview for details!
I’ve enjoyed both seasons of Dreamworks’ Voltron reboot so far. If you haven’t watched it, it’s really good! I decided to do a cover of the new theme song that hearkened back to the series’ long history, thus, rad guitar, 80′s gated drums, and weird synths!
BATTLE MUSIC! >:D
I wanted to do something heavy and grungy, but with instrumentation that wouldn’t sound out of place in TAZ’s quasi-fantasy world. Thus, dulcimer, violin, flute... and electric guitar. Speaking of which, that guitar is played by my buddy James!

Some ships may come and go, but Rosemary is forever.
A mashup of the traditional “Greensleeves” with George Buzinkai’s “Endless Climb” and hints of Malcolm Brown’s “Black Rose / Green Sun”.

omg, YOU wrote polaroid snapshots??? i read that half a year ago and it still ranks as one of my fave strilondes fics eveeeeeeer
Yep, that's me! I'm glad you liked the fic! I'm still writing a bunch of snippets in that world that I hope to get out soon. I just can't seem to leave the Strilondes be. :P
This is a fairly faithful cover of the original by Seth “Beatfox” Peelle, in a different key and with a few additional instruments. I’ve been working a lot lately with more realistic sample libraries, and this track was a test run for the flute and the solo violin. I think they sound pretty nice!
Here’s the track art from Revolution Engage separately, for a better view!
A track meant to evoke a video game boss battle, which should become more relevant with the Final Update...
