pro tools is giving me so many freezing and playback issues i went and dug out my dusty elicenser for cubase artist 9. anything's gotta be better than this workflow

my life is a rite of spring reference

is it just me or does nostalgia sometimes feel haunting? like... it's a lovely reminder of a pleasant time/perspective long past, yet it's persistently haunting that you'll never find it again. a snapshot of an era you deeply crave to return to, permanently out of reach. anyway happy thursday LMAO

very frustrating that none of my favorite activities are reliably lucrative. could've been passionate about computer science or finance, but i'm cursed to be passionate about music and learning scottish gaelic instead

me: man, i need a smooth transition from I to IV, but I7 isn't really fitting the mood, and i ALWAYS choose iii... the esoteric, ever-misprized augmented chord:

alright, bandcamp, maybe say that BEFORE i write them all out rather than get saucy w me after the fact

"i gotta lock in," i say, subsequently not locking in

today's thing to overthink: to find work, what is the ideal ratio of "able to write music in any style/genre" to "having my own distinct artistic sound"

i've seen a lot of negativity on this in the past few years but i'm gonna be honest..... i love "wonderful christmastime". it's one of my season faves. the synths are fun and it's goofy and it puts a smile on my face. forgive my whimsy

i always try to encourage myself to just yap on bluesky like i used to on twitter, and then i get nervous and don't do it LMAO

this takes a lot of inspo from animal crossing OSTs, btw! - pop dominant voicings (sus11 or sus13 slash chords, e.g. Fmaj7/G or Bb/C) - unresolved (often dominant function) chords sustained on weak beats - tonicization/modal interchange, pedal tones analyzing and writing it is so much fun...

Now that more people are here... Hi! I'm Yemi. 👑🎶 I'm a composer and creator/director of an upcoming animated short film, L'Allunaggio del Lupo (The Lupine Lunar Landing)! 🐺🌕 The film is narratively driven by the music! Here's a little snippet c: #animation | #2danimation | #music | #composer

arcangelo corelli - sonata da chiesa a tre, op. 3 no. 11 in g minor: ii. presto i had a project back in college connecting baroque counterpoint and 8-bit vgm/chiptune music due to tech constraints! so i made this arrangement of a corelli trio sonata 🎻 #music | #musictheory | #vgm | #chiptune

Proud to have worked on the score, sound design, mix, and title theme for this episode of Animation Station at @shockwaveanimation.bsky.social! I'm especially proud of the title theme; such a rewarding end product. Here's a little peek behind the scenes! #indieanimation | #2danimation | #composer

in hindsight i've realized that this meant "get an ssd next time"

y'all... was charpentier cooking with this or was he just going off of vibes?? i've seen this chart around as a meme for years and i find it really interesting

The game industry is rough right now for a lot of people. It sucks. Business can be brutal. But I don't believe that means WE should be brutal. Times like these are all the more reason to be kind to one another. If we give up our humanity in order to survive, what is the point of survival?

tried to move my folder full of sound effects from ed edd n eddy into my external hdd and it made file explorer crash. not sure what this means

sometimes i do something around the house and i can just FEEL the little "this action will have consequences..." butterfly from life is strange in the top left corner

high of 84 in late october.... it ain't right. wake me up when it's sweater temperature

TEARING MY HAIR OUT That Fmaj7 in Sakurasou's OP is the bVII7, not bII7!! Transcriber's worst nightmare LMAO

Been so busy just trying to make ends meet and survive that I haven't been writing ANY music. It saddens me.

a gremlin cat living in a trash can envisions a plan to steal a huge fish 🐱🐟 (a cue i wrote for the short film "catastrofish" by sarah guan!)

sometimes people write music so simple yet so powerful and poignant. genuinely unreal. inspiring even what song prompted this post, you ask? ...bad apple

I can't believe it.... I didn't remember the 21st night of September..........

As a composer, my long-term goal has always been writing for a feature-length animated film. But with my experience creating and directing L'Allunaggio del Lupo... now I want to direct more music-focused animated media. Maybe a concept album of some sort, or a narrative suite!
