  8. With A Dash Of Paprika

    "It's like when you fall asleep on the couch in the morning after a long night and you wake up with the sun shining through the window and landing squarely on you.

  12. いいでしょう？

    "It’s good, isn’t it?" Album art credits: Me | Shōnan Beach, Kamakura

  13. Oh Boi, I Need To Go For Lunch Now Cuz I Had Breakfast At 5am Today

    Today's just one of those Sundays when the tunes are flowing it seems. Wrote the vast majority of this whilst in PASSAGE COFFEE in 港区芝.

  14. 冬休みの手紙

    Short little track I found in a half finished state from this past winter. Dusted it off and spruced it up. Cover art credits: Shinkai Makoto

  15. Lemon & Lime

    Super short little old track I found and cleaned up. :) Cover art credits: https://www.deviantart.com/noaqh/art/Cafe-696646733

  16. The Nights We Kept

    As I normally only have my 24-key non-pressure sensitive keyboard, I can't really do runs or record piano in general. However, I recently rediscovered both my 88-key somewhat pressure sensitive keyboard and a whole bunch of emotions. This track is my attempt to capture them. Cover art credits:...

  17. できるかなできると思う

    Found an old, oddly emotionally relevant work in progress track and decided to finish it up. 「 Can I do it? I think I can do it. 」

  18. Let's go!

    Rough little track I threw together in a hostel lobby over the course of an hour with my laptop. Cover art credits: https://sssashimi.deviantart.com/art/Pixel-running-cycle-395658646

  19. 誰もが時々トランポリンを必要

    Everyone needs a trampoline sometimes. 🐸

  20. おはいも・Goodbye Yam

    A quick track I pulled together while in my favourite Daikanyama coffee shop and aboard a flight from Narita to Shanghai using just my laptop.

  21. Withdrawal

    A short, simple track I threw together in the lounge of a capsule hotel in Tokyo on a not so great day. Made using my laptop keyboard in an hour or two.

  22. 雨が降りながら喫茶店で待っている

    I'm feeling pretty in between things right now and I hoped to capture that feeling with this little piano track I put together this evening. Cover art credits: http://1041uuu.tumblr.com

  23. 懐かしいな ✨

    A short little tune I put together under the influence of some heavy childhood home nostalgia. ✨

  24. おはよう・こんばんは（短縮版）

    This is the original, shorter version of "おはよう・こんばんは". It's a bit rougher, definitely less polished, and about half as long.

  25. おはよう・こんばんは

    A dear friend of mine recently went above and beyond to help me out. This is for her. 😌

  26. I'm Tired It's Humid And I Miss You And Um I Have Things To Do But Oh No, Kinda, Time, Now

    ✨ It’s been awhile 🔥

  27. Shopify Theme

    For Shopify's first Hack Days (hackathon) of 2017 I decided to eschew programming in lieu of writing a bunch of music inspired by different parts of Shopify's amazing Ottawa office.

  28. Welcome

  33. Prismatic

    A short, fun, little track I whipped up based on a basic jazzy chord progression of I VI II V (major 1, minor 6, minor 2, major 5) in G Major. Cover art credits: https://goo.gl/DE9FEO

  34. On the Eve

    It's Christmas Eve! 🙌 I decided to take an hour or two and throw together a simple little track to celebrate the merriness of the season. Happy holidays to all! 🎄🕎✨ Cover art credits: https://goo.gl/SQgcBP

  35. ケロケロ

    This track started as no more than a 10 minute adventure in soloing chip synthes over a persistent crash beat but ended quite a bit more fleshed out. FYI, ケロケロ (kero kero) is the Japanese onomatopoeia for the sound frogs make. Cover art credits: https://goo.gl/pwXtGq

  36. 実家に帰る夢を見た

    "I Dreamt of Returning Home" (実家に帰る夢を見た) For this track I set out to create something reminiscent, nostalgic even; inspired by my return to New Jersey for American Thanksgiving. Cover art credits: unknown

  37. Is This Finally Over‽

    Another long form song, for me, here. This one toys with both positive and negative motifs. Straight chiptunes save for the drum track. Cover art credits: unknown

  38. Maroon Marooned Macaroon

    A short, simple song in which I experimented with trying to create a "trap beat" using super clicky high hats and such.

  39. Sand Medium

    A short chiptunes experiment in F harmonic minor. 🙂 BeepBox.co track: https://goo.gl/2kXNxz Cover art credits: https://goo.gl/ofWvub

  40. Preposterous Hypothesis

    I finally acquired a small midi controller keyboard. This is my first attempt at using it while writing a song. I may have gone a little overboard with the soloing but I couldn't help myself after playing on a laptop keyboard for so long. 😂 I definitely recommend headphones. 🙂 Cover art…

  41. Hallowed

    As my first long form track in a little while, I really went a little crazy with the solos and free formness of the whole thing. That plus my inspiration from the impending autumnal, Halloween season, and we have this somewhat sprawling, dark, organ laden track. Cover art credits:...

  42. Three Dollars

    Just one of those days... Mondays... when you've gotta track some chips. Short, sweet, and simple. BeepBox track: https://goo.gl/OsrrLY

  43. Weird Times On Alexander Street

    Song-a-day Challenge | Day 14 | Oct 8 2016 After returning home from a long day that concluded with exploring an old timey village filled with jack-o-lanterns, I was in the mood to write something a little strange, a little off. This song marks the completion of week 2 in my song-a-day challenge....

  44. HTTP 418

    Song-a-day Challenge | Day 13 | Oct 7 2016 I was pretty busy today, like most Fridays. Channeling that intensity, I put together this mildly complex, little chip track. BeepBox track: https://goo.gl/OYnA90 Cover art credits: https://goo.gl/DzNlw3

  45. Mausoleum Masquerade

    Song-a-day Challenge | Day 12 | Oct 6 2016 Very busy after work today, thus, I was only able to whip up this little chiptunes track. However, I'm quite happy with it. It's, I believe, my only pure chiptunes track with a dark aesthetic. Getting ready for All Hallows' Eve! 😉👻 BeepBox track:...

  46. Laboratory 5.4

    Song-a-day Challenge | Day 11 | Oct 5 2016 Today was supposed to be one of my more free weekdays this week... unfortunately that means I had to do everything else I couldn't do on other days, such as laundry and such... so... I sorta ran out of time and accidentally wrote a ukulele riff in 5/4…

  47. Midnight Burrito Run

    Song-a-day Challenge | Day 10 | Oct 4 2016 Today I had a decent amount of time and originally planned on making a guitar based song but at the end of the day, I really just wanted to make some fun chiptunes. ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ BeepBox track: https://goo.gl/cy9kkZ Cover art credits: My sketchy photo editing...

  48. Cruisin'

    Song-a-day Challenge | Day 9 | Oct 3 2016 Today is an unusually busy Monday for me and thus I only have time to whip up something in my favourite site as of late, BeepBox.co. It's a fun little chip only tune. BeepBox track: https://goo.gl/X1eCAE Cover art credits:...

  49. Steel to Steal

    Song-a-day Challenge | Day 8 | Oct 2 2016 I spent some of earlier today perusing a record faire and picked up a great Dave Brubeck Quartet album. Subsequently, I became quite interested in trying to replicate some of the awesome, syncopated feel that Dave and his group put out... just a smidge...

  50. Precipice

    Song-a-day Challenge | Day 7 | Oct 1 2016 I had plenty more time today than I've had the past couple days and thus tried something a little different. This is my first attempt at some very basic chillstep.
