No music this week
Posted 10 months agoTemporary journal: I fell ill Sunday night into Monday morning and have started feeling a lot better today. I was throwing up, coughing a storm (still am just not as bad), and had a headache that would not go away, along with mucous production overhauled. I will be uploading next week with a song a week as is the norm. Sorry for the inconvenience to my commissioners.

New Album: Piano Colors is live!
Posted a year agohttps://exias.bandcamp.com/album/piano-colors
The album is priced at $15 and contains 12 songs lasting around 42 minutes. Individual songs are also available for purchase for $3 per song. If you'd like to support my work, it's appreciated, but nonetheless, I will be uploading them here as well. I plan to release one song a week in the order of the album, excluding Ghostly Resonance, which is already uploaded here. The album will function similarly to Patreon, where you can either purchase the entire album or each song in advance if you don't want to wait on the uploads here.
The album is heavily influenced by Nier: Automata, and ranges from ambient to epic, electronic to symphonic rock, and uses various vocals in several of the tracks. The next song to be uploaded here will be Beyond (2B's theme).
Status update notice
Posted a year agoFirstly, this coming Monday will be the first of August. As stayed in my previous journal, I am updating my prices. To save backtracking, I will list the changes here as well:
Rates will now be a flat fee of $15 per minute, up to 4 minutes in song length. Anything longer is up for negotiation.
These changes take effect Monday at midnight.
Those under contract will not be affected by these changes for the duration of the contract. At the conclusion of the contract, any new work requests will be charged at the aforementioned fee.
Secondly, I normally like to release one song a week, sometimes two. This week there was no new submissions as I am wrapping up my new Album: Piano Colors. It will be a little over 40 minutes in length and have 12 tracks. They are as follows:
Piano Colors
Noire
Ghostly Resonance
Nier
Emptiness
You
Requiem of Decay (inspired by versus Hilla from MapleStory)
End of the World (inspired by the final level of MapleStory)
Beyond (2B’s theme)
Into the Void
Burden of Truth (A2’s theme)
Resilience (9S’ theme)
The album will be priced at $20 if you would like to support it, and will be available for download on my Bandcamp next week on either Tuesday or Wednesday. Subsequently, I will release one track a week for free here on furaffinity unless I’m working on a commission.
On a last note, my ToS will be updated tonight with the price changes, but they do not go into effect until August 1st at midnight.
ToS changes
Posted 2 years agoI will be slightly increasing my rate for commissions. The current rate is $15 for the first minute, and then $10 for each additional minute. I will be switching to a flat rate of $15 per minute up to a three-minute song. Additional length will be subject to change. I have set in my ToS that if I exceed the requested run-time, the commissioner will not be charged extra. This will remain unchanged.
Why am I doing this? Simply put, cost of living increases. At the current rate, I am making far less than minimum wage. Music is a passion, but it is an expensive one. I aim to keep my prices affordable so that those wishing to hire me can do so without breaking the bank, as money is tighter for everyone.
When will these changes take effect? August 1st.
*Note: If you are presently under contract with me, prices will not change until the contract is completed*
Thank you all for your understanding, and your continued support, be it by commissions, favorites, or commenting on my works. I look forward to making more tunes for you all to enjoy! =)
Working on a new album
Posted 2 years agoAs the title states, I am working on a new album. Specifically, it will be piano/atmospheric focused. I plan to have a few of my older works in there, but it will be predominately new stuff. The Album name is subject to change, but I am leaning towards either Piano Colors or Noire, as I bought the bundle from Kontakt and am using them heavily. When completed, it will be available for purchase on my Bandcamp page if you want to support my work; that said, they will also be available here free of charge as well, so buying the album is absolutely not necessary. That’s all.
Comments disabled
Posted 2 years agoI’ve noticed on my previous submissions comments have been disabled. I’m not personally checking the box and will look into the issue if it persists a third time.
The 300 club
Posted 3 years agoMy local gym has this thing where if you can lift 300 lbs on either flat or incline bench, you get a shirt that says the 300 club. Today, after training hard for half a year or more, I’ve finally done it. 300 lbs one rep max on flat bench. I weighed in this morning at 192 lbs, so that’s a 108 lbs over my body weight!
Silent Hill music
Posted 3 years agoWhile my ambient works are located on this site, you can also find them on my bandcamp in their own album for convenience:
https://exias.bandcamp.com/album/silent
I will update this as I finish more ambient pieces inspired by Silent Hill.

Working on new Silent Hill song
Posted 3 years agoSong name: Prisoner
Lyrics:
Memories lay shattered, crucified to the door
Infestation, dark thoughts manifest and take hold
You try to fight it
You can't deny it
Too deep inside it
To turn back now
In mangled voices they cry out in vain
Trapped in your illusions, there's nothing but pain
Can you hear them?
Whooo ooh
Hear their voices
And know that you are home
In desparation you flee towards the light
You can't deny this feeling, the thrill of the night
Can you feel it?
Whooo oh
Can you feel it?
The Darkness in your soul
(Whisper) Can you feel it?
Deep inside you hide all of your sins in plain sight
And deep within the monster smiles back in delight
Too weak to fight it
You can't deny it
Too deep inside it
To turn back now
In mangled voices they cry out in vain
Trapped in your illusions, there's nothing but pain
Can you hear them?
Whooo ooh
Hear their voices
And know that you are home
In desparation you cling to the light
You can't deny this feeling, the thrill of the night
Can you feel it?
Whooo oh
Can you feel it?
The Darkness in your soul
(Whisper) Can you feel it?

Music
Posted 5 years agoI’ve been going through an incredibly difficult time to the point I just don’t want to be alive anymore. Right now I’m spending my days crying and just can’t focus on music right now.
A Wrinkle in Time
Posted 5 years agoCamazotz goes live later today. That is all.
I'm back!
Posted 6 years agoI recently got out of an abusive relationship that has left me roughly $2000 in debt, so I've been picking up hours trying to get out of it. I'm still a ways away, but I'm able to compose again so I'll be working on the Istaria project and post the tracks after they are approved by the team. As such, commissions are closed as this is a massive endeavor.
Open for commissions
Posted 6 years agoI am open for up to two commissions at this time. Note me if interested!
Graduation and music progress
Posted 7 years agoGraduated RN school Cum Lade, and now all that's left is the NCLEX. Since school is over, I will be downloading my studio and reinstalling everything. I got flooded out and lost the old computer, but over the next week I should have everything up and running again. Sorry for the wait, and thanks for your patience!
Not dead
Posted 7 years agoI'm at the end of RN school, and also suffered damage from flooding, as well as a girlfriend I've been with for almost 2 years, so bear with me. I will be posting soon. Thanks for sticking with me.
Removed favorites
Posted 7 years ago[center]Many of my favorites were removed by my girlfriend, not myself. This is nothing personal. To those effected by this, you have my apologies. My password has been changed to avoid future problems. [\center]
Voyage
Posted 7 years agoI am undertaking a new challenge: a 20 minute or longer song, broken into movements, it will be a journey through various regions of light and dark, of serenity and chaos. As such, Voyage will be the name of the overall movement, with each sub divided with names befitting their emotions. The first piece is a serene journey through the deepest of dreams, and will be titled Voyage: ethereal sunrise; a demo can be found in my scraps. Cheers!
