College was over and I had a great long summer of making music with friends and family, and gigging around Cornwall. I couldn't believe how many gigs I was getting, as it was only little ol' me and my huge honking PC tower (and keyboards, turntables etc). It felt special that people were actually coming out to listen to what I was doing, as I figured out how to perform stuff live. I would have a rough map of songs I needed to get to, but between point A to B I would fiddle about making and improvising new songs between. It must've been tedious!

I have recorded some of the live sets as audio, but the only live footage of me performing solo is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aM-f-1tlTr8 I found out about this gig on the day and saw this as a farewell show as I wouldn't perform solo again after this, but it was such a wild gig, the best atmosphere and a nice way to end my chapter in Cornwall.

Vocals are sampled from my friend, Ben V.

Very nice! I enjoy the soft synth that comes in the second half that sounds like a 3xosc. Has a sound that reminds me of chiptune and makes it feel kinda homey in a weird way.
Beats are solid, but I agree with Ahurac- at least if you did a slow pan to center, or just brought it a little bit towards the center. It's nice to have isolated sounds/vocals/etc, on one side for brief bits, but when they are like that for longer periods of time it's just not the same- though if you prefer it that way disregard that lol

Keep it up :)

Wow, cool story. And even cooler audio, just sad the vocal is fully panned to the left, panning is cool but when it's extreme like that it creates a weird feeling. The drums groove is nice but I would have used different samples. The melodies are very cool.
Just realized I already know you from some movies you did on Newgrounds :0, also congrats for being an OG YouTuber, 2006 damn...

Keep it up,
