An album of instrumental hip-hop inspired by Madlib, Dilla, and Alchemist. Released under the stage name 'KomanderKOM.' The title is in reference to my feelings approaching this project. I remember how much I struggled to put a decent beat together back in 2018-2019, and I've come a long way as a musician and as a producer since then. This record is me letting myself stretch my legs creatively, and taking another stab at something I couldn't quite nail previously. |

Nearly all instruments featured are homemade, mostly pots and pans. Whatever i could find to hit with drumsticks. This album was recorded and edited single-track; nothing is layered or mixed together. Everything you hear is cut together one directly recorded mono clip at a time. This was an experiment in stripping extreme music (grindcore most chiefly,) down to the simplest form i could possibly think of. If it's 'noise not music,' why bother sticking with musical instruments? Noise is something that happens all the time, and it requires nothing fancy. |

I was so in love with lo-fi black metal that I just had to throw my hat in the ring. This was born from an obsession with finding the most tinny, high frequency, and ear-piercing guitar tone in the genre. I was inspired most by artists of the French scene such as Mütiilation and Vlad Tepes, along with the Neorwegian band, Ulver, and their towering black metal masterpiece "Nattens Madrigal." I recorded and mixed this tape with a 4-track recorder app on my phone. Every sound went straight into my phone's onboard mic. I'm not a guitarist, so I record my guitar parts by playing a synth through an amp + a couple distortion pedals. I was too self concious to scream in in my dad's basement, so I recored the vocals in a very hot mini-van. |

An experiment in genre-fusion, pitting black metal against witch house. Probably the most pop-friendly thing I've made thusfar; this marks the first time I've sang (not screamed) on a public release. This single includes a less polished b-side as well, which is a cover of White Ring's witch house classic "IxC999." Hearing this song was the moment it clicked for me how this genre fusion could be handled, so covering it felt like a natural place to start. Fun fact - the bass riff that "Recital" is built on is a sample lifted from progressive rock outfit 'Goblin's' soundtrack for the 1975 Dario Argento movie "Deep Red." Giallo movies, particularly Argento's, were a great point of inspiration for me at the time. |

A small collection of experiments I did with "interprative script" as well as abstract and line-based art. |

I spent a month listening to nothing but death metal and this was the result. Made in audacity in a week under very strict restrictions. I was trying to map the riff-heavy, distorted-guitar stylings of extreme metal bands such At The Gates, Strapping Young Lad, and Meshuggah onto my synth-design work in vcv rack. I recorded myself whaling on my practice-pad as well as screaming my lungs out on my cellphone, and put it all together in Audacity. |

All the music I made with modular synths in my sophomore-year winter-quarter of electronic music class. I really enjoyed making music with modular synths, and track 1 - "she has a fever 😢" is probably the most complex/developed song I've made since 2021 so I had to get it out! Also check out "gate_logic," that one's a banger. |

An unfinished visual novel consisting of a single dramatic scene taking place within a larger, unwritten story. An experiment in more traditional cinematic and anime-inspired techniques in the visual novel format. | #animation, #visualart, #lainrose, #visualnovel, #unfinished, #narrative | ✹ |
