I've been making music under various names since around 2011. My main project is Jorts, an EDM alias focused on bass music specializing in
technical drops and sometimes jazz/funk/soul harmony. It's very loud, and very sonically colorful.
My main gig these days is making Jorts tunes for local record labels NotThatRecords and Ravestation, or working with rhythm games such as NOISZ
STARLIVHT, vivid/stasis, or EX-XDRiVER.
A bustling jazzy hitech song made for NOISZ STARLIVHT, featuring keyboard work by HINTZ.
For one of my first hurrahs of 2024, I particpated in PABAT Seasons, a yearly BMS contest, and placed 8th for my musical and charting work.
In my directorial debut with NotThatRecords, I sought to breathe some new life into the Japanese hitech genre, inviting a handful each of western and eastern artists, most new to the genre.
I released my first public BMS! BMS is a community driven file format and rhythm game based on the 7k+1 style of IIDX. There's a huge community around it, and I'm looking forward to making another in the near future.
I was brought onto the music team at CF by Roger Clark and Dylan James to write some music for season 2 of the dance rhythm game, based on Dance Dance Revolution and In the Groove. Apparently some of my music was used in the past in some tech songpacks, and CF decided to bring me into the community officially with some original tunes. One of those tunes saw an "extended mix" release.
Countdown represents a big step forward for me, where I'm starting to feel like my mixing and songwriting is going where I want it to. I'm feeling more and more like the songs I'm making are original and creative.
Spatial Effects, as my sophomore album, demonstrates a bit more cohesion and steadiness than Delta Method. It's overall considerably faster, which I do like, and with a more digital feel.
Delta Method is my debut album of original music; looking back from today it's a heaping mess. It does have some tunes I'm proud of, but there's very little feeling of flow from track to track. And my God, just look at the album cover.
