hi newgrounds, yearly update time!

i've started streaming music production stuff on twitch again. sometimes i'm actually good at it! i don't do much serious production on stream, usually just messing around w/ bad plugins or doing silly challenges. also doing constructive critique for followers! everyone loves that right?

here's a photo of me streaming i guess. maybe i should make clips or something idk i forget to do that sorta stuff cause i'm bad at promo! oh well :>

streams are gonna be thursdays and sundays from 7PM UTC+11 over at twitch.tv/5pinaudio (sorry about the kooky australian time zone!)

hope everyone had a decent 2021! mine was okay i guess. i'm planning on doing weeklybeats again this year so we'll see how that goes! pce xx

hello newgrounds, it's been a little while <3

remastered some old faves and put em up on spotify, because why not?

this won't affect their usability in geometry dash, or if you're using the old versions that were originally CC BY-NC-SA

also just wanted to let u know i got a new website for my pro audio services and it's HOT - https://5-pin.com

hope everyone is living their best life. l8r sk8rs

cool stuff that happened in 2014:
- played dumb chip music at square sounds festival & AVCON and people actually enjoyed it!
- speaking of AVCON, i did a panel there with a bunch of guys all about what chip music is
- sort of helped out with a how-to-LSDJ workshop with Sabrepulse, but probably didn't help that much lol
- kinda "headlined" the ChipWIN vol. 3 compilation? ok not a big deal but it was still cool
- done got another thing released on SectionZ Records, maybe one day i'll actually get an EP together :v
- got into honours for my psyc undergrad (this was actually hard to do lmao)

var yourscore:Number = Math.floor(Math.random()*10);
trace(yourscore);

i feel like this is an appropriate place to put this (was a bit racey for the NG audio group on facebook :v)

(edit: link for context)

HEY. I got invited to play at a chip music festival in Melbourne called Square Sounds, but for real this time! Main stage n all that! Alongside the likes of Sabrepulse, NNNNNNNNNN, SEXY SYNTHESIZER, and local legends little-scale and Brainbeau

The show is run by the Sound Bytes crew, who do quarterly shows you may have seen featured on destructoid/kotaku at some point. ANYWAY they are running a crowdfunding initiative on pozible, so if you can't make it to the show (March 28-29 in Melbourne) you can still pledge some buckeroos to support the international chip community and get some sweet gear and musics in the process.

http://www.pozible.com/project/32002 <- just do it ok pls i love you yes

For real though, get amongst it! Don't forget to like my shit on facebook for extra updates and shenanigans!
Peace!
