Hi pals! I come to you bearing a treasure trove of information regarding new tunes, goals for 2021, and just a whole bunch of other neat things!

Here are my goals for this year:

Upload consistently and be more active now that I have finished college

Reach 750 Fans on here

Learn new instruments (Saxophone, Guitar, Bass)

Work with more people on different projects like games and movies/animation

2020 was an incredible year of growth, I'd like to thank @TomFulp for being the super amazing dude that he is for giving smaller artists and creators a spotlight earlier in the year. Without that, I don't think Alexandrite would not have been seen nearly as much if it wasn't for him and the incredible Audio Portal mods.

Onto what to expect this month:

This month I have a bunch of stuff cooking! I have an album releasing at the end of January which you will hear some more of mid-January, as well as 3 new tunes for this year's Pixel Day! One of which I just uploaded today:

Pixel Day has allowed me to go outside my comfort zone and restrict myself to a certain sound/synth style. I have found it to be pretty fun! If you're looking for music for Pixel Day specific to your project, I'd love to make you a custom tune/OST for it! Just send me a DM my way!

I am working on a couple of game OSTs at the moment for Newgrounds pals... you may see them in due time! I've also got a couple of music collaborations that you may see this month as well, so keep your eyes peeled!

Here's to a 2021 full of creation and collaboration pals!

Merry Post-Christmas but pre-New Years everybody! I'd like to share an instrumental from my upcoming album! Here is the title track Pleochroism! It is a spacey synthwave track with some killer guitar layering from my pal Dr. Ted! The album will have the instrumentals as bonus tracks, although I will be uploading them here for all to hear! I have 2 more tracks I will be released from the album which I'll release closer to when it drops on here!

Go give it a listen:

I also have tunes for pixel day in January, as well as some super-secret projects I'm working on. So look forward to those when they drop sometime in the future! I hope you all have a good new years celebration!

Edit:

I released my New Year's Song early LOL

Hey, here you cool peeps! I've got some information on this upcoming music project dropping in January!

My original vision was for this to be a sneak preview of Tourmaline, my big project set for release in November of 2021, but it actually ended up turning into its own thing! I introduce you to Pleochroism! This album will contain a bunch of singles that didn't quite make the cut for Tourmaline due to them not fitting into the vibe of the project (with the exception of one track). The styles and genres of this project are a bit all over the place but they're all pretty fun. They range from 80s-esque City Pop to Indie Pop bangers! I've got some pals to contribute some of their talents on the album, as well as reintroducing some old sounds that I originally wanted to throw away!

The first single will drop the first week of January, and will be the one track on the album that will give you a sneak peek into what Tourmaline will sound like! The second single will drop a week after that! I hope you enjoy what I've been cooking up! The album will be released exclusively on Newgrounds on 1/28, followed by those other, not as cool platforms on 2/4!

The track list is as follows:

1. Pleochroism (feat. Soo Do Koo)
2. Byte Syzed
3. Vibeland
4. Try Again (feat. Pink Nois)
5. Awake
6. Trundata (Vocal Ver.)
7. I'm Alright

I may or may not have a tune before the end of the year, depends on how I manage my time. I hope you all are doing well! Are you doing anything special for the Holidays? I know that it is hard considering the times we are in, but let me know how you all are doing! I'd love to know <3

Stay safe and stay healthy,

Hi pals! I've been postin some new stuff and I just wanted to give a lil update post highlighting what's been happening the past couple weeks. Firstly, I've been at work on January's EP which I consider to be a soft reboot of my music, I'll be incorporating the elements from Alexandrite into what I call a fusion of my Pre-Alexandrite and Post-Alexandrite sound. You'll get a taste when I start posting tracks from it around the end of December.

In the meantime, I've been attempting to be more active on here and posting more often! Here's what has come of that so far:

I'd like to post more and work with more artists/composers! If you make music and want to create beautiful vibes together just shoot me a DM on here or somethin! It is hard to be active when workin all the time in Pizza Jail, but someday I'd like to be able to do this but all the time!

Huge shoutout to @robertonewgrounds - the absolute legend charted Side Hustle for Clone Hero and Rock Band. You can check out a demonstration of that here:

That's all I've got for this week! I'd like to thank the audio portal wizards for the FPs as well! Y'all are awesome!

QUICK EDIT:

THANK Y'ALL FOR 300 FANS!! I PROMISE TO KEEP MAKING THE VIBEST OF VIBES FOR YOU BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE!

Peace.

Hi pals, this is a post regarding music I've been working on as you can see by the attention grabbing headline. The album that I am currently working on 'Tourmaline' is being worked on as I type this. How is this possible? Not sure, but I do know it involves this super wacky thing called multi-tasking. Tourmaline was originally slated for release this January with only 8 tracks but after some deep consideration, I've decided to make this a much more ambitious musical project.

Instead, I will be posting a 4 track EP in January on Newgrounds with a variety of tunes from the album to give you an idea of what is to come. I'd like to incorporate more art and lore with this album release as well as have more ambitious arrangements! The album consists of 20 tracks, 10 that are more rock/indie pop influenced and 10 that are more disco/future funk. Over the course of the album, the genres/influences will shift from one to the other as if it were one giant electronic symphony. I invite the lovely people of Newgrounds to join me on this creative journey together.

I'll be back soon with some tunes.

Hi pals! I hope you are doing well!

I am currently workin on some tunes for a lil album that is suuuper indie pop inspired with some influences from video game soundtracks and a bit of... Parappa 2 of all things. When I write stuff, I am usually inspired by what I'm listening to. On top of this, there are some names on the album that you might recognize! I hope you look forward to listening to it when it drops sometime in January or February.

In the meantime, I post a bunch of snippets like this on twitter so you should follow me there! If you have "NG" anywhere on your profile, expect a follow back.

I have something scary lined up hopefully for Halloween so expect that within the coming weeks!

Hi friendos, long time no see.

I might as well dump a ton of info on ya as to the lack of activity all well as some updates.

I've been working a full time side hustle due to my field of work being heavily affected by the pandemic (big surprise there) so I haven't been too active aside from streaming album progress and whatnot. Speaking of the next project, I've decided I'm going to be releasing it in 2021 instead of q4 2020 so that it is the best it can possibly be. I loved the feedback and comments I got from Alexandrite and will continue to push my production and writing as far as I can go. Speaking of my music, a whole bunch of my tunes were used in a game by my pal @larrynachos which you can find here:

It's fun and you should definitely check it out!

Back on topic with the music industry stuff, since the scene where I'm at is pretty much dead due to the new health guidelines, I've decided to take the music online with a radio show. I'll be live starting the first week of September 11AM-3PM EST. The radio show will include music from the lovely people from the Audio Portal, as well as other underground goodies so if you'd like to submit your music... get in touch! The more the merrier! I'm also doing a weekly artist spotlight where I do an interview with an artist and showcase their tunes in a lil segment! You can check out the twitch page down below, although the goal is to stream on YouTube, Twitch and Facebook.

https://www.twitch.tv/zamradio

One final announcement is that I have opened a Patreon. I am a creator, and to be blunt I'd like to stop this pizza realm shit ASAP and focus on doing the radio show, music and video creation. The option is there for those who want it, and this will be the only post I make about it. I greatly appreciate those who would have the altruism to contribute, and I'd make sure it is worth your while.

Here's a link for that if you're interested:

That's all I've got for today, I'd like to start posting again soon; even if it is just some random techno babble until the album tunes are all ready to go.

Stay safe and cool,
