Poop Poop Fart: Return of the King

Hello!   

I just wanted to post a quick update to notify you that I’m going to start uploading regularly again starting near the end of October.  I know it’s been a while since my last Patreon update, so I just wanted to give you a fair warning of my return so that you’d have a chance to cancel or modify your pledges in the event that your financial situations or tastes have changed since the last time I uploaded.

My goal is to start updating about once per month again, but this time you might start seeing me bundle...

Doki Doki Literature Club, New Software, and Earthbound Preview!

Hello everyone!  Sorry for the delay again.  I’ve been working on a couple of Earthbound related tracks that took a lot longer to put together than I anticipated (more on that at the bottom of the page).  Also, now that I have all this cool equipment that helps to simplify my work flow, I’ve felt a lot more comfortable in taking on really complex projects that I never would have attempted in the past.  As a result, my videos end up taking a lot longer to produce than they used to.  I do want to start uploading more ...

Welcome to the Suggestion Box!  Have a look at this Google Doc to see what’s curr...

Dragon Roost Island, New Rewards, and Doki Doki Literature Club Theme Preview

Hello everyone!  I’m back (again), and I finally managed to finish my Dragon Roost Island video.  In one of my previous updates, I mentioned a free bonus video that I wanted to post for Christmas.  Well, Dragon Roost Island ended up being so complicated that I didn’t have time to post one video in December, let alone two.  I’d still like to post a free video at some point, though, so I’ll keep working on it alongside my other projects, and hopefully I can have it out sometime soon.

On the upside, I have an exciting...

Patreon Fee Announcement

Update: December 13, 2017

Due to the high volume of negative feedback Patreon has received regarding this change, Patreon will NOT be going forward with the changes to the fee structure.  So basically, just ignore this entire post.  However, if you have already modified your pledge amount, don't worry about modifying it back, I will make sure that everyone gets the rewards that they are entitled to.

I'll post more about this in my next update to make sure that everyone is on the same page

Super Mario Bros. 3 Medley, New Equipment, and Dragon Roost Island Preview

Hello, and sorry for the prolonged absence again!  After working on Gruntilda’s Lair and the SMB3 medley back to back, I decided to try to pick something simple to work on to give myself a break from all the heavy labor, so I chose to record Dragon Roost Island.  Unfortunately it turned out to be one of the most complicated things I’ve ever recorded, which is why it took me another two months to upload a video.  My next project should be fairly simple, though, so after this I think I should be able to get back to posting at l...

Gruntilda's Lair, New Equipment, Productivity Stuff, and Super Mario Bros. 3 Medley Preview

Hello everyone!  I decided to take a break during the month of August because it was just way too hot to do anything.  But I’m back now, and I’ve got some cool stuff to share with you, including new equipment, some new productivity tools that I’ve adopted, and a preview of a Super Mario Bros. 3 medley that I’m working on!

New Equipment

I recently discovered a company called Nuvo that makes a lot of neat plastic instruments, including the Clarinéo (a clarinet in the key of C), the TooT (a ...

Flower Garden and Gruntilda's Lair Preview

Hello everyone!  I just uploaded Flower Garden from Yoshi’s Island, so here’s an update regarding my next project!  Normally I’d also talk about new equipment purchases, but I didn’t really purchase anything interesting this month, as I’m trying to save up some money to maybe make some upgrades to my recording/monitoring equipment.  So I guess this entire update is just gonna be about Gruntilda’s Lair.

Gruntilda’s Lair Preview (Unmixed Audio)

Here’s a preview of Gruntilda’s ...

Delfino Plaza, New Equipment, and Flower Garden Preview

Hey everyone!  I just now uploaded Delfino Plaza!  I think on my lag blog post I rattled on about how cool the harmonium was, and I’m actually still really excited about it.  It was a lot of fun to record, and I’m looking forward to using it again soon.  But in the meantime, I decided to tackle my favorite track from Yoshi’s Island, Flower Garden (preview link at the bottom of the page).

New Equipment

A long time ago I was looking for a cheap way to create some basic bass and snare...

Hot Head Bop, New Equipment, And Delfino Plaza

Hot Head Bop is now live!  This project took a long time, mostly because I really wanted to use a harpsichord for the pattern that plays behind the main melody, so I spent a lot of time looking around for a university that had an unsupervised harpsichord lying around.  I finally found one, and I was able to sneak into the university with all of my equipment and record the harpsichord without incident.

New Equipment

I mentioned in my last update that I was looking into buying a harmonium, and after...

Schala’s Theme Early Access, New Equipment, and Hot Head Bop Preview

So I submitted Schala’s Theme for distribution to iTunes/Amazon/Google a week ago, but for some reason it’s still not live on any service except for Spotify, and I don’t want the video to go up on YouTube before the MP3 is available, so I’m just gonna give y’all early access to the video for now.  I’ve emailed DistroKid about my problem, so hopefully it’ll be resolved soon, at which point I’ll push the video out to the rest of my subscribers.

Anyway, sorry for my brief absence! I was at the SXSW film festival for a week, ...

Mining Melancholy, Doors, and Schala’s Theme

Hello!  Again, I’d like to thank you all for supporting my videos!  Thanks to your contributions, I was finally able to record Mining Melancholy arrangement, which had just been sitting on my hard drive for the past couple of years since I couldn’t afford the stuff that I needed to actually record it.  That video has just gone live, so here’s an update about other stuff I’ve been spending your money on, plus a preview of Schala’s Theme down at the bottom.

Studio Door

If you enjoy reading about doors...

Spiral Mountain, New Tier, New Equipment, and Mining Melancholy

Hello!  Spiral Mountain just went live, so here are a few updates about stuff that’s been going on in my home studio.  But first, a quick note about the new $3 tier.

New Tier

As you may already know, I recently added a $3 tier that allows you to download the stem tracks from each video I upload.  I’ve made a separate post with the download link.  If you are currently pledging $3 and are unable to access the post, you probably just need to manually pledge to the new tier, as Patreon d...

New Tier + Finished Spiral Mountain Audio

Hello!  I'm going to be uploading Spiral Mountain within the next couple of days, but I just wanted to post a quick update about reward tiers.

New $3 Tier

I noticed that there were a few people who were pledging in between tiers, and I felt bad that they weren't getting anything extra out of it, so I decided to add an official $3 tier.  The $3 tier will allow you to download a zip file that contains all of my stem tracks (i.e. individual audio tracks for guitar, melodica, recorder, etc.) for each project that I up...

Peaceful Days, New Equipment, and Spiral Mountain Preview

Hello!  Sorry for the brief absence, I got pretty busy around the holidays, and then I wasted a whole week watching AGDQ, so I’m trying to catch up on my YouTube stuff now.  There’s a link to an unfinished version of Spiral Mountain down at the bottom, and I also wanted to take this opportunity to show you how useful your money has been so far.

New Equipment

I thought y’all might wanna know how I’ve been spending your money, so here are some pictures of the most recent additions to my stud...

Guardia Millennial Fair

Hello!  I’ve just posted the video for Guardia Millennial Fair, and I’ve finished the audio for Peaceful Days (preview link at the bottom of the page).  Here’s some info on what I’ll be working on in the next couple of weeks.

Spiral Mountain

Thanks to your support, I was able to purchase a mandolin!  This means that I’ll be able to re-record Spiral Mountain, which is something that I’ve been wanting to do for a very long time.  The arrangement that I’ll be recording is pretty similar ...

Roar, Survey Results, & Guardia Millennial Fair Preview

Hi!  I’ve just uploaded Roar, so here are some updates regarding my upload schedule and my albums, plus a link to a full preview of Guardia Millennial Fair down at the bottom:

Survey Results / Upload Schedule

So I’ve checked out the results of the survey, and it seems that the majority of you are interested in seeing more video game related content.  Luckily for you, I just found out that Loudr is going to be defunct by the end of this year, so the cost of legally releasing an alb...

Delightful Spekkio [Chrono Trigger] + Video Survey

 Hello folks!  First off, thanks to your pledges, I am now able to purchase a mandolin I’ve been wanting so that I can re-record Spiral Mountain.  I won’t be able to purchase the mandolin until I receive the payment at the beginning of next month, so the Spiral Mountain video probably won’t be posted until a couple videos down the line, but I’ll keep you updated.  I’ve also been wanting to record Dragon Roost Island for a long time, and now that I have a mandolin, I might throw that one in also at some point.

First Update! In-Video Credits and Album Info

Hello!  First off, a huge THANK YOU to everyone who has pledged so far.  You have no idea how much easier this extra cash is gonna make things for me.  I truly appreciate that you enjoy my videos enough to help me out with production costs!

Secondly, I added some info to the $5 tier late last night after some people had already signed up, so I just wanted to make sure that everyone is aware that if you have an alias you want me to use for your in-video credit, you can send me a message on Patreon and let me...
