October 19 2023 / Music For All the Dogs Album Review

To be completely honest, this album was pretty mediocre. The only song I really enjoyed was First Person Shooter but everything else was either decent or bad. 8AM in Charlotte, Gently, Daylight were decent songs as well. It feels like Drake does not have to drop good music now because he is so popular, and people will listen to his music anyways, no matter the quality.

September 30 2023 / Computers and Game Development Randomness, Procedural Generation, and College Apps

July 29 2023 / Music Utopia Album Review

I was not expecting an album like this from Travis. The main vibe I got from listening was a more darker/hellish one, which is fine by me. Going into the album, I was expecting a vibe similar to Astroworld or Rodeo, but I was surprised by how different it was.

Over the past week, I was assigned to recreate and re-theme a classical arcade game released in the "Golden Age of Arcade Games". I was assigned four random teammates, creating a team of 5. I had the role as a programmer, while my teammates consisted of two artists, a sound designer, and another programmer. We had to recreate and re-theme Q*bert.

July 13 2023 / Music Composition and Life Ableton Beats + Life in Pittsburgh

Hey everybody, sorry for the long wait. I'm currently attending pre college at CMU, so I've been very busy the past two weeks. However, the week before I came to Pittsburgh I was actually pretty successful in using Ableton. To be completely honest, it had the easiest user interface I've ever seen and used in any software I've downloaded.

June 21 2023 / Web Design Intro Blog and New Design

Hey guys, I've finally setup a blog! I'm mainly going to blog about my progress on whatever I'm working on and other random things I find interesting. I've never seen myself as an exceptional writer/journalist, but I've realized blogging your own work is one of the most underrated things, so I had to give it a try.
