Hello newgrounders! 

It's been a while I didn't post a news, so here it is! 

I'm gonna try to keep it short and sweet. 

After the NGADM I took a little break from recording, and posting music. But I'm not gone! 

In December I bought a new 88 notes keyboard - Arturia Keylab Essential - I had to get used to it before being able to play "as well" as I did before! A little bit of adaptation.  

I think I managed to do that ^^ I also got East West Hollywood Orchestra OPUS edition during black Friday sales.... Which I can't run on my old computer, so now I'm in the process of building a new one, one piece at a time. In a couple months it should be completed! until then I can't use my orchestral package, though I will maybe start publishing some orchestral pieces as well, once I get the new computer, and get the hang of it and I feel like I compose something worth presenting to you! 

Now music side, I've been a bit quiet for some time after the NGADM, sorry for that!

I had to learn at least the basics of FL Studio (That I won in the NGADM 2024 : Thank you again for that NGADM organizers and donators!) to be able to use the piano VST that came with my keyboard (UVI Steinway grand), I love the sound of it! I hope yo udo to! 

I participated to the VGMC, organized by @Everratic by creating a piece called "The tale of Sir Corvin"

Then @CrispyBatteryAcid asked to make a collaboration with me, which turned out to be a very nice experience! And resulted in an instrumental track that I find sounds beautifully! I've made a piano piece to which he added his personal touch with all the other instruments, and he also composed all the part after 2:00! We went back and forth for 3 days, revising and polishing it, before posting the final result. He's only 6 months into using FL Studio and making music, which is quite impressive, a rising star!! I encourage anyone reading this to follow him, pretty sure he's gonna craft some master pieces soon enough! :)

Here's the result of this collaboration :  

Then I could add two improvisations... First one that is an old recording that I made using only one chord!! For musicians out there, I encourage you to try this exercise! ^^ 

This whole piece is in EbMaj :D 

And finally, this one, which I recorded in the past week... I used the C whole tone scale, without the 5th (G#). It's very challenging, no semi tone or 5th to play with, but I liked what I recorded so I posted there if you dare listen to it! 

Thanks for reading me! I hope you find something enjoyable in what I publish! And if you do, make sure to hit that follow button to get notified when I put a piece out there :D  

P.S. I've sent something for the Mall Collab that will be published soon! (Deadline is today 15/02/2025) so you can expect a new one in the next couple days! 

It pretty much sums it up for now!

Have a nice day, or evening, or night!
