Hey I want to do an episode about fan songs at some point (stuff like MckiRobynsP's Dangan Ronpa songs, CircusP's "How To Pretend," etc.) and I want to feature as wide a variety as possible. If you know any good ones (or you've made one and you want it included!), please tell me in the replies!

youtu.be/rZSxpID638w let's pretend I remembered to post this day-of ๐ ... anyway, here's episode 13, my interview with KLAD/Dysto-P~!
Erm I'm bad at promoing my work but since it's pride month:
I have an in-progress #vocalsynth concept album called #CALIICO that deals with a lot of queer, trans, and intersex themes. You can listen to a playlist the songs that have been released so far here:

youtu.be/dgb1CpNFKmg Episode 12 is up! I talk about Kanaria, KING, and the merits of songs under 150 seconds
www.patreon.com/c/HappySynth... Happy Synthesizers now has a PATREON!! Right now there's only one tier ($2 a month will get you early access to each and every episode), but I'm working on material for more options!
youtu.be/jvoIpx4m3eg Episode 11 is UP! I sat down with a translator and spent the whole time lamenting that I'm only fluent in one language
Absolutely grotesque. YouTube has made a feature where they train an AI on your voice, and according to the FAQ it's opt out, but if I go to opt out there'sโฆ no opt out, because I haven't been opted in yet. At some point they're just going to turn this on, at a different time for every account.
Now that I'm back from the US and not in fear about being detained at customs for my political beliefs, I helped create a charity album for Palestine!
'Composers for Palestine' is a collection of beautiful indie video game music. Enjoy, donate and share!
RT's appreciated

Podcast interview reminded me that I haven't used Sayu in forever, and I've also been looking for an excuse to cover this song again, so I tried her on it on a whim and I really liked how she sounded, so here we are.
