A silly jungle remix of a classic Marcus Brigstocke bit

Just when I was starting to think that Songtradr’s acquisition of Bandcamp was turning out to not be the big problem everyone predicted, they’ve gone and shaken everything back up by laying off the remaining Bandcamp engineering team.

This, uh, is not a good sign.

So, anyway, while I’m not planning on dropping Bandcamp entirely just yet (and will still be uploading my new releases there for the…

Back in 2003, when this song was originally written, it was considered “okay” and “funny” to dox and harass trans people. And if it happened to someone, clearly it was their fault for being trans and not being 100% perfect at keeping their private information private.

Ask me how I know.

In the midst of getting dozens of harassing phone calls, random evangelists being sent to my door…

Originally composed for a game soundtrack.

This song came to me in a dream about love and loss and growing up.

When I first released Deadnames I mostly only included the various in-progress forms of what would eventually end up on Transitions, but I also included the original and Plus 5 versions of 120 MPH, which I’d updated for Love and Monsters.

I think I had also meant to include Safety in Numbers for the same reasons, but it ended up slipping my mind. Maybe I thought it would get its own separate…

A song done to celebrate the birthday of my friend Heather “moboid” Kelley.

Specific works referenced:

• Super Hypercube
• Kokoromi in general
• Lapis
• Body Heat
• Fez
• I Crave Rapport
• Let’s Talk About Me
• Joue le jeu / Play Along
• Our First Times
• 4 Minutes and 33 Seconds of Uniqueness

This was recorded in posthumous tribute to its composer, Seth Gibbs, who probably did not intend for this song to be about himself.

His old band’s original version is available on Song Fight!.

This song was written as a 20th anniversary celebration of the very first Song Fight!.

I wrote this song in response to a well-meaning but clueless friend who saw I was suffering and would tell me I should “just cheer up.”

“Just cheer up” won’t make me less depressed.

“Just cheer up” won’t solve my anxiety.

“Just cheer up” won’t fix my chronic pain.

“Just cheer up” won’t take away my stressors.

“Just cheer up” won’t stop the world from hating me just for being me.

Fuck toxic…

It was August 2004. I had just moved to New York City in July, and I had dreams of establishing myself as a musician and also finally transitioning and being able to be myself.

Turns out that “myself” is still just super introverted and socially anxious, and places like New York wear me down faster than they build me up.

Anyway the bit about “start a new family” was inspired by a stupid…

This song was inspired by repeatedly tapping the tuning fork button on my portable amp.

Written when the election results came in :D

Originally for Song Fight!, 2022

This title went up when the Roe v. Wade reversal took place, and was a reference to the material change in constitutional law that had just taken place. Plenty of other people wrote songs about politics, so I felt okay with taking the title a bit more literally.

This song is dedicated to my friend Beltrami, who is featured alongside me in the cover art. May we…

Caroline’s character theme from Full Course.

Caroline was to have an interesting story arc, and was going to have _two_ character theme songs because of one of her traits. This particular song is for her extrovert mode (“Candy”), and was inspired by modern anime music. Its working title was “Every Anime Themesong.”

She also had an introvert mode, “Strawberry,” although I never started work on…

Hey y'all, I’ve made a bunch of changes to this website, mostly structural.

The big one is that now all of my albums are available for sale on Ko-Fi, and I’ve also restructured the “buy box” under the player preview to better show what the various icons even are.

I’ve also refreshed the website stylesheets to hopefully make them more maintainable, but in doing so it’s possible I broke…

Hello there! If you’re reading this in or before June of 2026, it’s quite likely that you have found me through the Furality dealer’s den. Thank you for visiting, and for being interested in my music and other creative services. I’ll try to answer the most frequently-asked questions you may have here.

Why aren’t you on…

Spotify? All I can find is The War Machine

All of my reasons for…

After one too many times being mistaken for a cow in VRChat I was late-night ranting about it on Mastodon (as one does), during which I said I should write a song about this except it would probably make things worse.

I shared the thread with my friend Jax, who is a fox, and she told me that she is always somehow getting mistaken for a wolf or a jackal, and she’d love to hear a song about all…

I’m trying to put my stuff back on streaming (minus Spotify, of course) and for this I am trying out Symphonic. So far I’ve just uploladed Transitions, which is awaiting approval.

Here’s a quick review of the experience so far.

The good

The price is pretty good. $20/year, similar to many of the other…

Music made for a game jam that didn’t go super well.

As part of reuploading my catalog to streaming, I’ve had to deal with Symphonic’s… less-than-ideal user interface, and one of the biggest pain points is how they present their genre listing, with a hard-to-search and super-inconsistent two-pane interface that makes it hard to find a specific genre unless you know which particular category they decided to put it in.

Fortunately, it’s all just…

I am still not a fan of Bandcamp Friday, but it still keeps on happening and this is still the best way to support musicians by buying their music. So, just as a reminder, I have a very large discography available and I’ve also recently reduced the prices on a lot of things, so you can get about 17 hours of music from the past 26 years for under $50. I think that’s a pretty good deal! (Of course…

Hey y'all! Subvert officially launched today, and of course I have some of my music up on it. Having more options for independent-friendly music shops is generally a good thing, but I do have some thoughts about where things are going and how things could be a lot better.

Subvert is getting a lot of hype because it’s new but I don’t see it as my long-term solution for music sales. I’m not sure…
