My original projects:
I have released several albums, mixtapes, EPs and singles through the years i've been doing music as a hobby. Here you can check some of my main projects and their backstories so far.
Albums, mixtapes, eps:
"Bits n' Pieces" is the first project that I worked on, featuring some of the first chiptune tracks that I made on the start-mid of 2022. It marks the start of my journey into making other projects later in the future.
"The Stars Above The Sea" is the second mixtape that can be found on my discography. It consists of tracks that I worked between mid-end of 2022.
This project is quite special for me as it marks a evolution (in a short period of time) in the way that I did compose some of my tunes, as I started to explore different soundchips and instruments most of the time, trying always something new.
Funfact: Two versions of this album exist, one of them being the mixed version (released on streaming platforms) and the unmixed original version, that can be found on YouTube.
"On the Walk of the Unknown" is the first project that I could call an solid album, featuring 9 songs that were based arround the same concept of using some of the cheaper "entry" midi synths from the late-80's and mid-90's (such as the MT-32, Kawai K1 and even Yamaha XG), mostly inspired on a video from CTrix posted back in june-july of 2023.
Besides this project, I didn't work much on many projects in that year (only the start of Night Jams and the Starlight Dreams single), but otherwise, 2023 could be marked as one of the years I had the less inspiration to compose, wich resulted in a one year hiatus from YouTube.
"Alpha" is a entirely instrumental project, made between late january-early march of 2024. This project originally had the intention of being a collection of demos I would later repurpose on a chiptune comeback album for YouTube.
Although I did return on making chiptunes in 2024 with projects like FFM and "What If It's The Last Time?", this project stayed unreleased for a long time, as I didn't have the same motivation as before of remaking these songs in a chiptune format (mostly due to the limitations of the soundchips compared to how the original demos sounded).
"Night Jams" is what I would call the direct sequel to "On the Walk of the Unknown". It originally started as a 5-track EP featuring songs that I made on december of 2023. Later on january I decided to put the project on a hiatus for a moment, as I wanted to explore different styles, resulting in the project "Alpha" discussed above.
With that, I decided to pick up the project again only in early may, and I would only finish composing the final tracklist and polishing up the mixing of the tracks in late 2024, making it probably one of my most time-consuming projects so far.
"Funky Frequency Modulation" a.k.a "FFM" is a mixtape/compilation album project released originally in the form of two EPs (on streaming platforms) and later as a single project in Bandcamp.
Like it's name implies, FFM explores a few of the most popular frequency modulation based soundchips on the chiptune scene (such as the ESFM, OPL4, OPM and several others) in several different styles.
This project also marks my return in posting chiptune songs on YouTube again in 2024, but this time, in a much more organizated way.
The FFM project took several months to be truly completed as a 12-track mixtape/compilation album, started originally in july and finished only in december 2024, when the last track of the project, "Was It Love?", was released on my YouTube channel.
"Midnight Echoes" is the first chiptune related project I released in 2025. Originally, the songs of this project were small sketches I had written back in november of 2024 that I would later rework on the last weeks of december 24 and early january of 25.
Also, small funfact about this project: Song 5 (Jazzy Sunset) is a re-interpretation of my older song "The Jazzy Sunset" from the album "On the Walk of the Unknown", but on a completly different style than the original, still mantaining a bit of the original chord progression and a bit of the melody but in a more modern upbeat way.
"Late Nights" was also one of the early chiptune projects that I made on the start of 2025. After finishing FFM I tought about making a separate project that would use only the ESFM and OPL3 soundchips, exploring a bit more of their capabilities in particular.
The result of this experiment became this album, featuring tracks that use, most of the time, two separate ESFM chips, allowing on the construction of complex tunes (like The Neon Sky) with almost 36 channels of pure advanced frequency modulation glory.
"Late Arrival" is also one of my most time-consuming projects that I released so far. I worked on this project for several months due to it's complexity, as it is based on the use of midi modules alongside with fm synthesis present in computers of the early-mid 90's, wich required the use of two different trackers for most of the songs simultaneously (OpenMPT for the midi section and Furnace for the OPL3 parts), making the songs considerably well layered and, like mentioned earlier, complex to finish most of the time.
Small 3-track EP released in august of 2025 featuring a (back then) recently finished weather-channel style song called "Midnight News" and two tracks that were previously unreleased: one of them inspired by the Sonic CD track "Stardust Speedway (Present)" and the other one a mostly instrumental song that was originally written back in 2022.
"Lately" was a project that I was working on parallel with "Late Arrival", being mostly a collection of demos I wrote arround the same time as finishing the latter.
This project also marks a time in wich I was trying to compose new tracks in a few different styles (like a attempt at an instrumental R'N'B on "Tonight Our Dreams Collide" and a attempt at an instrumental pop styled track on "Time For Change").
"Cityscape" can be considered as the sequel of "Lately", featuring more demos that I wrote later on the year (between august-october 2025).
Some of the songs from this project are connected to it's predecessor like "City Nightfall" with "Time For Change" and "Snowfall Kisses" with "Snowy Town" for example, revealing some kind of "metalanguage" between the two albums.
"Nighttime Arcade" is the first chiptune project of 2026. It's a 6-track EP, based arround some demos I wrote arround, originally, march-april 2025.
I would only revisit these final chiptune versions of these songs in late 2025 and the very beginning of 2026, making it one of the earliest projects of the year (like Midnight Echoes in 2025).
SINGLES AND MISC:
A song written originally as part of a imaginary arcade ost, featuring mostly the Seta X1-010 wavetable soundchip and the Yamaha YM2151 as it's basis. This was intended to be the ending song.
Later on, this song would be reworked on a more orchestral style as I originally intended when I wrote it for the X1-010 inicially.
"What If It's The Last Time?" is the song that marked my return into making chiptune songs again in 2024 after my hiatus.
I originally started it back on 2022 and it remained a W.I.P for a long time, until I got my hands on the module again, in july of 2024, when I finished the song and decided to upload it to YouTube after a long time.
The first song I wrote in 2023. It was one of my several attempts at trying to make a Stock-Aitken-Waterman styled song using some of the modern equivalents to the original gear they used.
Altought this is the version that was released, quite a few other ones exist (like a alternate remix version and even an earlier version without some of the elements present on the final thing).
A 4-track EP that features remixes from two different tracks of the "On the Walk of the Unknown" album, being them "Mountain Sunrise" and "Lost Through Complex Daydreams".
A EP featuring a mashup between the epilogue tracks from "On the Walk of the Unknown" (It Seems Like The End) and "Night Jams" (In the Wildest Dreams of Love).
A attempt at writing a simple soft synth based instrumental track.
A house styled remix of the song "Through the Dark Side of Love", originally part of the FFM album using the OPL4 soundchip.
A small, bandcamp exclusive 2 track single featuring Lo-Fi styled tape rips of the tracks "Snowy Town" and "Nighttime Coffee", present in the "Cityscape" album.
Honestly, I've been fascinated for a long time with the nostalgic feeling that cassette tapes could bring, with some kind of analog warmth that no plugin can recreate like the real thing.
With this in mind, I decided to test this "old cassette"-like effect by recording two of the songs that I mentioned previously on a real tape to see how it could turn out.
well, this is the end... for now!
