We stopped broadcasting the radios. Sadly, for the past year, both views and revenues have been going down, mostly due to YouTube pushing short content (brainrot, agressive advertisement and IA slop). Despite our attempts to change and update the radios, we didn't see a positive change. I also didn't want to add mid-roll ads.
Each radio requires a rather powerful server that runs 24/7, which is costly (about 650$ per year in total) as well as maintenance. We've been spending more than what we earned for the past 4 months. I had to take that decision.
Sorry for the ones who enjoyed them. You can find all of that music on our tool Opus, and a lot more -> dscryb.com/MichaelGhelfi we are about to launch a complete UI overhaul, along with dark mode :)

I received Steam keys for the game Will Glow the Wisp. I have no idea why, especially since we didn't work on its soundtrack nor had contact with their dev.
Anyway, instead of letting them rot in my mailbox, I'm sharing them here. Feel free to use/distribute them. First come, first served!
[EDIT: All keys have been used]

YouTube enabled a new feature called "Stable volume". It's good for entertainment videos but terrible for our ambiences (and songs, sometimes). I was surprised to hear one of my ambiences suddenly didn't sound well. That was the culprit. Make sure you disable it if the audio levels of some elements sound off.

With our audio solution in a much more mature state (see top comment), requiring less attention from me, I'd like to invest more time in our YouTube channel. Tbh, it's getting buried under dozens of copy pasted channels and AI bloat. Not a big deal though, we already have 170000 subscribers to enchant with our work. In that regard, I'd like to know what YOU would like to see more on the channel.

We at Michael Ghelfi Studios are really proud to share with you the Season of Ghosts album ! Now available on Spotify, on our website as a regular album and FoundryVTT version, and Bandcamp. It was entirely composed by Filip Melvan, who worked with Paizo's designers to create the best possible atmosphere to accompany you in this adventure. The album is EIGHTY minutes long and comes with looped versions for a total of 45 songs. All of it is also on our tool Opus, along with 7000 other songs, ambiences and SFX.
Honestly, this is imo the best MGS album ever released. It took more than a year to compose, and we don't regret a single second of efforts because we believe it was well worth it. East-asian themes are rarely taken care of in TTRPG music, and are sometimes taken too lightly, which end up sounding too stereotypical (not to say, disrespectful). I think this album respects the spirit of eastern asian music while acknowledging its objective of fitting a western TTRPG, deeply inspired by horror themes. You are listening to the blend of these three worlds.
Personal favorite tracks : Season of Ghosts, Relight the Eternal Light.
The album will be distributed for free to our Chosen-Tier patrons on the 26th of July!
Stay tuned, because Filip composed another album for Paizo. Something about Starfinder, maybe you've heard about that small indie game ;) Comes in two weeks!
