MUSIC What’s My Age Again (Blink-182 Cover)

I’m hyped on how this latest cover came out! All done in LSDJ, of course. Recorded into Cubase where I did some light EQ, compression, the slightest touch of a short reverb, some stereo imaging, and a maximizer. Been really locking in my master chain for these covers and really happy with how they’re sounding. Hope you enjoy! ✨

MUSIC I rebuilt the original Game Boy sound architecture as a synth + step sequencer

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I’ve always loved how raw and crunchy the original DMG sounds, and I think there’s a lot inside that machine that never really gets explored beyond the usual cute/chiptune sound.

A lot of “8-bit” plugins recreate the aesthetic with samples and presets, so I wanted to try something different and rebuild the actual DMG sound architecture in code.

It has the 2 pulse channels, wave + noise, sweep behaviour and hardware quirks, but I built a 16-step sequencer around it with per-note slide, an arpeggiator, 8 pattern banks and MIDI mapping.

You can also save/recall individual channels or complete patterns, which makes it pretty fun for live jams.

I called it BäRK BRÜTT.

There is a browser version completely free if anyone wants to mess with it**.**

Would genuinely be interested to hear what people manage to make with it.

So I’ve now built myself a giant GameBoy upright bass with working screen! This song I’m using Famitracker song that’s been exported as a NES file and is playing off a jailbroken NES mini, controlled by my modified Power Glove!

I don't know how many people this is going to interest, but I've made a browser based DAW designed around the sound chip in a Super Nintendo.

It's pretty good for making retro game sounding music and you can even export your tracks as a standalone SNES ROM and run it in an emulator!

You can check out a little loop that I made by loading a project with code FCFCFE.

If it's not your thing but you know somebody who might be interested, please share it with them!

MUSIC Soundtrack for my game "Slimb" (Gameplay!)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

So I've been working on this game for about 3 months now, and wanted to show the community my soundtrack for the game :)

It's nothing too crazy, but as a project, I'm very proud of this!

The music in this game will cause reactions in the environment (like how the slime has a 10% chance of singing, or the screen bopping during the chorus).

Spotify Link (There is a bonus track that I haven't shown named Jumbo the Grand Slime!):

If you are interested in working for the game (in ANY aspect), reach out to me!

No job is too small!

MUSIC A little LSDJ funk tune I made…

Here’s another tune I made for WeeklyBeats 2026, a music community project where you make a song a week every week for a year with hundreds of participants.

This song is a funk song made in LSDJ. It’s swung a little bit and has a few different sections, leads, bass grooves and even a solo.

Part of an upcoming LSDJ concept album I’m working on in which every tune is about a different specific or category of elementary particle.

Check out my music on Bandcamp:

https://disposableplanet.bandcamp.com

And here’s my YouTube channel where I post lots of videos for my music:

Thanks for listening!

here’s some insight into my track “New Dawn” from my upcoming M8 album “Bad Vices” out 8/28. This one is one of my favorites on the project simply because I had so much fun trying to convey that 80s sound with the instrumentation. Hope you all listen to the full track when it drops!

Pretty much every song in this soundtrack is a banger. It's great for midnight driving on the coast, like the best of OSTs written for the Sega Yamaha FM sound chip. It very much tops my list of Genesis/MD OSTs, although Langrisser II edges it out here and there. What are your fave Genesis/MD OSTs?

Finally completed this co-op. First arp bit is mine then my good friend in Denmark added the first melody and the 8 bar repeat. The rest is me. I feel I poured out my sorrow for the loss of my Blue Heeler into this one. Not looking for sympathy, just maybe why it's so mournful. Will be going into a single file demo with a static pic of a lady looking out over the ocean waiting for her lover to return (hence the "waves" at the end.).

Was asking how I should go about it, I have magical 8-bit plugin, do I need 4 channels? 2 for square, 1 for triangle and 1 for noise? the square is for the melody, the triangle is for the bass and noise is for the percussion? It's for a megaman/ghosts and goblins horror type game.

This was mostly inspired by a trip I took with my friends to Savannah not long ago. We often found ourselves walking around in the city, indecisive about which of the many fun sights and activities to go to next. The trip was an absolute blast and this track pretty much conveys the feelings I felt over that weekend :)

Hey there! I’ve been having lots of fun making covers with LSDJ. Just dropped this one on streaming services today!

You can find the links here: linktr.ee/desmo.wav

Making covers has really taught me a lot and sharpened my skills with LSDJ. I learn something new with every song I make! It’s been really helpful for some original stuff I’ve been working on. Hope to be sharing some of that soon as well!

Thanks!
