To Split a Channel

Now I have two YouTube channels. I'll be keeping Music Hacker on my primary channel, along with any full tracks. On my new second channel, however, I will be doing a ton of stuff.


There is a high likelihood that I'll be bringing Music Hacker back to a more serious tone since LazerBlade's Funhouse should be all the onstage crazy I need. Keep in mind that both the LazerBlade of classic Music Hacker and the LazerBlade of cupcake nuthouse land are simply projected personas. They are there for the amusement of me and my viewers.

Music Hacker: Aversion of Trial and Error

I literally spent years doing this wrong before I figured it out. The point of this episode is to help other beginners spend less time in annoyed trial and error before they figure it out.


I have a special surprise planned for next week...

Also, this post gets five points for conciseness... conciseness is a very unwieldy word.

New album and new track

I am officially making it official. I am producing a new album with a working title of "Glamtastic". The plan is to make a bunch of hot pink glam tracks infused with LazerBlade synth work. What is probably going to be the main track of the album was just released today.


This track is the first of mine in years to be produced with FL Studio. I really could have made this exactly as it is with LMMS, but with FL Studio is was much easier and quicker.

Music Hacker - The Chippity Whippities

A lot of people asked for  Chiptune tuts, and I happen to like making Chiptune. So here's to an episode that I hope is good.



Tune in next week for my first FL Studio track in quite awhile.

Music Hacker - I've Always Wanted to Do This



Today's episode of Music Hacker is one that I've been wanting to do since about halfway through season 2. Now that it's here, I hope it's up to snuff.

I've been able to keep up my bi-weekly schedule so far, but it's no easy task and I will have to put some effort in to make sure I don't fall behind. Things seem to be manageable though, so I'm optimistic about it.

Music Hacker Season 3 Debut

Here is the moment you've all been waiting for, the season 3 kickoff episode! Yay!



It's been challenging but fun to get this season going. I'm not sure I'll be able to keep up a bi-weekly release schedule, but I'll give it a shot.

For those of you wondering, no there isn't any overdubbing, hidden jump cutting, or anything in this or future episodes. I don't use a script either. So what you hear is basically just me making stuff I think will amuse you up on the spot and then executing it in a voice that I think will amuse you.

I hope you're amused.

Art Pipelines

Let's talk art! Because I make art!

I've developed an interesting method of creating paperware art. I start by creating digital guidelines, since adding a computer to the mix makes that much easier. Then I print those lines out and follow/interpret/trace them with a pencil on another piece of paper.
