CELEBRATION: We broke 1000 monthly listeners!
It's been 3 months since I started uploading my music to proper streaming platforms, and it's performed better than I could have ever imagined. Before I even realized it, we got 1000 people on Spotify! And Atelophobia's garnered over 17000 streams! Thats huge.
Not only that, before I could even think about celebrating 1000 subscribers, we're already halfway to 2000. That's more people than I could have possibly dreamed of that gave me a chance and listened to my music.
I'd like to sincerely thank each and every one of you that gave me a chance and enjoyed what you heard. I'll continue to do my best to create more music now and into the future. (Next most likely being my cover of Brain by Kanaria that I've been uploading progress shots on Twitter and TikTok.)

ANNOUNCEMENT: New cover releasing!
I’ve been quite the busybody behind the scenes. Since Atelophobia released I’ve been trying to network with other artists/creators to collab with and make more songs.
This song was the result of such encounters. Though, this version is made entirely myself (and Teto)
My cover of ALTER EGO by MISUMI releases TODAY at 3PM EST. Please give it a listen!
p.s. I’d love to get in touch with other artists to make more cool stuff, so if you’re interested (or you know anyone that would be), my dms on twitter are open!

Announcement: 1ST ALBUM
The music videos have been taking a while, but quite a few songs are done or have been close to done for quite some time. So, I've decided to compile them into my first album!
There probably won't be music videos for these songs for a while, but I'll try and make a playlist video (is that what you call it?) when all the work is done!
Stay tuned for when my album "Egoistic Paranoia" drops. For now, here's the cover art and tracklist, illustrated by me :D

CELEBRATION: OH MY. My mind has been absolutely BLOWN by the sudden influx of people. As of the time of writing this (too early in the AM) we're nearly at 500 SUBSCRIBERS! That's insane!
I'd been holding off on announcing anything because it hadn't been properly set up, but my Spotify is officially up and running! So if you loved Atelophobia, now you can listen to it on Spotify as well!
Thank you to everyone who's been here, and to everyone whose recently joined. Some may say this is still a relatively small pool of people, but I never thought my music would ever reach as many as it did. I don't know if this moment is temporary, or if it will persist into the future. But for now, I'll choose to enjoy the present that you've all helped create.
Truly, thank you everybody.
Sincerely,
Authko

UPDATE: It's been a while since I've last made a post. It was tough to focus on music with finals and stuff going on, but life has calmed down a bit, meaning I can start working on making videos again.
This current one has been my most ambitious music video to date. That being because unlike all my other videos, I had to make all the character art from scratch, no clever editing tricks like in Butterfly, or reusing old drawings like in Torrential Downpour.
Right now, I'd say the video is about 70% done. I still have to make the video for the intro riff, the new edits for the bridge section, and clean up any errors in the editing. Not sure when I'll finish, but I've been making good progress these past few days.
That's all from me for now. Enjoy these sneak peaks of my next song: Atelophobia.

New Song!
It's been a minute since I last uploaded. I've hit a bit of a roadblock recently, but I'm trying my best to make the most of spring break.
In the mean time, I decided to go down memory to see what I haven't uploaded yet and made a music video! Personally, it's a little rough for me, but like I noticed with songs like "Butterfly," I'm happier when I can express my ideas freely with passion rather than trying to perfect them like I normally do.
Anyway, new song "Yugen" will release today at 12PM EST. Good night.
P.S. I noticed we hit 100 subscribers! I'm very grateful to all who've enjoyed my music, videos, and shorts thus far. I'll keep striving to work hard from here on out as well. (I might have a silly video planned for the occasion, we'll see.)

The TikTok revealing the "Butterfly" MV broke 2000 views! I was worried people might be put off because how different the style was to my existing music, but the reception has been really positive! In fact, it's the most positive out of all of them!
In the future, my genres will still tend to swing a little bit from rock to jazz to a little more electronic, but I hope it will all still sound like "me" and people will enjoy it.

Update: I've been working on covering "Lower One's Eyes" by ぬゆり and I feel like it's helped improve my mixing tremendously. I've shocked myself by how good it's coming out.
Though, this has taken time out of doing assignments for school. I'll manage. I always do. That's on me.
In the mean time, for those that want to know what I'm up to and how songs are coming along between uploads, check out my twitter. I've been posting in-progress snippets from time to time leading up to release.
p.s. Thanks so much for 80 subscribers! The growth from 0 in such a short time is tremendous. I wonder what I should do for 100...

Making MV's for my songs has proven just as fun as making the songs themselves (surprisingly)
This one (Wasurero Beam) is actualy a remaster of an old one. I'd probably call it my first "real" song I ever finished, and it's the one song my music friends really encouraged me to push out into the world.
I feel like it's age shows in how some parts feel rough around the edges, but I still like it.

Music maker and game enjoyer. I just wanna post clips of the stuff I do, whether it be solo or with friends.
