The Sunday Scoop #8
★ Hello fellow netizens! ★
I've just uploaded a new experimental music video that I am very proud of. It's definitely a change of tone, but I'm glad a lot of people are enjoying it!
Now that I have more free time, I've started getting back into writing stories again. So, keep an eye out for something soon.
I've also been making some art for said stories, which I'll be sharing!
This Week
-
I posted a new experimental music video titled SCATTERBRAINED. It is very dear to me, and I am very proud of it! Makes me feel like I can call myself an animator now.
Heed this content warning: flashing lights, body horror, dark themes.
You can pre-save the song here.
I made a Tumblr blog that I'll be posting worldbuilding, poetry, and storytelling content to. Maybe one day I will escape the depths of Twitter and live free in the limbo of Tumblr.
I finalized by merchandise and finally made my store public! Go check it out if you want some neat new apparel :]
-
Micro Songs, Vol. 3 has been released to platforms! You can listen here.
Here is the Soundcloud link for my cloud enjoyers, and here is the Bandcamp link for my bandcamp enjoyers.
Oh, I also made a Newgrounds page! I know I have a seemingly massive Geometry Dash fanbase, so I'll post my music to Newgrounds to make it easier to use my music. As for videos: I only plan to post my bigger videos, like my music videos or more experimental stuff. I likely won't post my small silly ones, but may still post the music.
What's Coming?
Next week, I'll be streaming on Twitch on Monday and Wednesday at 5pm EST. This is my established schedule, but I realize I have never mentioned it in my newsletter. Though, sometimes I stream randomly, so make sure to follow me so that you know when I'm live!
Next week will likely not be anything too big in terms of videos! Taking a bit of a break doing other things since SCATTERBRAINED took so much from me.
Something I'm Reading
I'm not much of a reader, but I've recently been reading Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams. It's definitely right up my alley with its surrealism, and it's a super fun and silly book.
Every line in this book makes me think "what the fuck am I reading?" and then I of course keep reading. It's just too absurd in all the best ways.
I would love to be able to hone some of this energy into my own works. Not entirely of course—I still like to include serious and dark themes, especially when it comes to my own writing. Speaking of...
Something I'm Writing
I don't want to go into too much detail, because I want it to mostly be a surprise... but I can't hold back my excitement, so I'll give you just a little bit.
I have been developing a world since long before justan oval. Recently, I've been solidifying the worldbuilding, planning out plotlines, and preparing a website as a hub for the many stories I plan to create that take place in this world.
I want the tone of the stories to be a mixture between surreal and serious. Somewhat like the tone of Haruki Murakami's works (which I need to read more of).
Here's a vague explainer:
All laws of the universe have become completely irrelevant. Everything's been rewritten; the Old Universe is dead.
Postmortem souls are brought into their new life. To stay grounded to this world, they must be tethered to the natural entities of it; they must become symbiotic.
Blue Moon is a celestial body that showcases the true lack of understanding the divine creatures that created this world have about what Earth once was. Some say it was their first attempt.
Sprawling over this celestial is a massive mixture of archaic architecture, primarily suburban in nature. Nothing here is human built; all is from the eyes of the divine.
Not many inhabit this world anymore, but those that do have an extraordinary connection with this new reality.
During nighttime, the Cosmic Serpent can be seeing wading through the restraints of the local cosmos, keeping watch on those below him...
How did you like this format?
I've been wanting to change the format up a bit, and will continue experimenting. I also have been thinking about moving the newsletter to its own platform as opposed to being Patreon-exclusive, since I feel like not many people really go to Patreon!
I'd also like to add some more sections, rather than just being an update. Like my reading and writing sections for this issue (next issue will be different).
Let me know your thoughts!
