Here I have a collection of what I consider to be my best work, with some info about how they were made. If you just want a playlist, you can look at my Portfolio on YouTube. If you want to see what I've released most recently, you can see what I have on my Bandcamp. Either way, I hope you take the time to listen, I put a lot of work into my music!

Albums

Frosty Heights - Volume AlphaThis album was originally meant for a Minecraft mod of mine that was eventually scrapped due to me quitting modding. The story, lore, and concepts of the mod were all poured into this album with much love.Coming in at just over two and a half hours, and having thirty five separate tracks, this album is by far my most ambitious. I would consider this my magnum opus, my greatest fully realized project. The album may not be my best album, but I made this album the best I could've. So much time and care was put into this little packaged experience, as it took over a year to complete.Some of the themes and concepts of the mod were used as leitmotifs, such as Life and Death, aka Purity and Corruption. And the contrast between the two. The titular track, "The Hiemal" (the name of the dimension), showcases this. A corrupted piano is used to play the motif associated with life, while a clean and pure piano is used to play the motif associated with death.Other motifs and leitmotifs are used in this album, I would recommend trying to listen and point them out! I hid them everywhere.

The Corners - Volume ThetaThe Corners is a Minecraft mod I made, focusing on adding new dimensions into the game. Specifically ones that replicate Liminal Spaces, and that type of feeling.These albums showcase my ability to convey anemoia the best, as that is a fundamental aspect of Liminal Spaces. I also use these albums to experiment with different kinds of ambience.When I write a track for The Corners, I'm usually going off of some kind of reference, whether that be an image, or a feeling. Nothing is as wonderful as when someone correctly guesses where a song plays without ever seeing what I based it on.This particular volume took quite a significant amount of time to release, meaning it has a mix of newer and older tracks of mine. For example, Air was the first song I wrote in 2024, while Kindle I wrote almost at the start of 2023.

Rose ArraysThis album was initially inspired by C418's Excursions album, but quickly morphed into its own thing. The only similarities now are that the tracks have a layer of ambience beneath them, that connect them together.I think this album is my most beautiful, and symbolic to me personally. Bethany and Malone are two roads that I used to travel when I was younger. The memories associated with these roads are used in their respective tracks.When I was writing this album, I started with the ambience, and the rest of the song sorta slipped out of me and how I felt at that time. I find this album to represent me the most; Who I am behind the show I put on for others.

Nature's SpiritThis album was written for a Minecraft mod of the same name. This was composed for four biomes the mod adds. I think the author of the mod did a wonderful job making those biomes as beautiful as ever.When I wrote these, I wanted to try out the style that the newer tracks from Minecraft had, with more emphasis on piano, and other acoustics. Rather than synths and melancholy.I think these are my most "normal" tracks, mostly acoustic and not conveying much emotion; just trying to enhance the environment it's supposed to play in. Regardless, I still think these are quite beautiful.

Singles

I have quite a lot of unsorted music, as often I will just make whatever I feel like. But I still think some tracks stand out among the rest, and I want to highlight some of those here.

PetalsI wrote this after playing Minecraft, building my base in a Cherry Grove biome, listening to Aaron Cherof's score for it. And I got suddenly and viscerally inspired, and so I wrote this.

ReferThis was written to be a music disc in a friends Minecraft mod. I put a lot of time into this particular song for some reason, and I think it is one of my best electronic pieces.

Life & Canopy ClearingI wrote these for a friends Minecraft mod, but it was also another chance for me to play around with Minecraft's original style. These are simple and beautiful tracks that I am quite proud of.

HazyThis song was written for a Rain World mod of mine, but I think it is genuinely a really pretty song. It's also the only song of mine I learned fully on piano.

Unusual BrightnessThis song was also written for a Rain World mod of mine, and is a simple yet beautiful ambient track that plays when you enter into the region.

The New Sun RisesI wrote this song for a friends Rain World mod, just a simple track that plays when you enter the region. I think it is really pretty, while also being extremely alien.

So far you've just seen a handpicked teeny tiny portion of my full discography. I can't show everything, there's simply too much. But I do recommend seeing what I've made. I often post music to my YouTube or Discord before it's released elsewhere.

That's all from me here! Thank you for taking the time!

Some things about me!• I am a Wife and a Mother of three (Chloe, Sasha, Madeline) <3• I love My Little Pony (if you couldn't tell)
• I love Rain World, its a beautiful game
• My favourite musician is Vylet Pony
• My favourite album of hers is Monarch of Monsters
• I have anxiety
• I have a language disorder
• Interpreting and communicating is a struggle for me
• I most likely have autism :P

As a musician, though, I tend to make Ambient and Electronic music.If you've never heard my music before, Id suggest listening through my Portfolio for what I think is my best work. Or you could look at what I've been doing recently on my Bandcamp. Either way, I'm sure you'll enjoy it! I put quite a bit of time into my work.My main inspirations for my music are C418 (of Minecraft fame), and James Primate (of Rain World fame). Aka the main musicians of the two games that I play haha. But, to be honest, I don't really listen to their music anymore! It's just their styles that influence mine.I would describe the music I make as being Anemoic.
Anemoia is nostalgia for a time you've never known, or an experience you've never had. I do my best to translate this feeling into the music I write.
The music I make tends to be somber, melancholic, bittersweet, or creepy. Or usually some combination of the four. There's just something I find so beautiful about being melancholic. I quite enjoy just getting fully engrossed into the music I write, making the feeling in the song pop in the best way I can make it.

Aha! You have questions!!
..
I'll do my best to answer some ones I expect to be asked.

What Software do you use?I mainly use FL Studio to write music, but for instruments I use a lot of different VST's.I mainly use Omnisphere for just about everything, but I also use Arturia V a lot, EastWest is really good, EthnoWorld 6 is a wonderful library, and Soniccouture.

How do you write music?I really write everything purely by improvising on the spot. I'll usually lay out some nice chords, which are also improvised, and then improvise a melody on top of that.I don't really plan melodies or chords ahead of time, I just write what feels right.

Can I use your music?Usually, yes! But it sorta depends.The licenses of most of my music is under Creative Commons Attribution Share-alike, which basically means you can do whatever you want with it, so long as I get credited, and if you remix it then that's also under the same license.So, legally, typically, yes! But I would prefer if you held to these restrictions:If I wrote something specifically for a mod, game, or whatnot, don't use it in a different mod, game, or whatnot.
