I guess?

It was a lot of fun making this song! :D

Seclusion sometimes brings out the best from yourself.

It's been a while... I'm really glad I took the time to participate again! I've been really into the overused 6415 chord progression recently, I hope you guys don't mind! :D

Sorry, I couldn't get it to stop clipping... I guess it can represent falling down when snowboarding?

Sorry, it's been a while since I've made music, gotta scrape off the rust somehow...

I played around with old songs of mine, WindFrost and Dreary Forecast.

I somehow feel like I've written a song like this before...

I wanted the lead in this to sound more like Eurobeat at first, but I don't really know what this became...

Colossal Squid

Haven't done OHC in like a month, I feel kinda rusty...

Tried to write out the melody in my head, but it didn't really come out as planned.

Splatoon is fun.

I think I might have dropped in the melody from DDRKirby(ISQ) - Ignition... or at least something really similar?

Eh, I started late because of work, whatever.

The forest just wants to grow forever...

I think this somehow became a remix of Bubble Cannon...

Tasty?

I don't know what to call that kind of building, so it's a citadel to me.

I feel like I can do more with this, I might make a post-compo version over the week.

Why not have a good look at yourself while you're alone...?

Trappin' in da wild.

I borrowed the melody from a really old OHC of mine, Jack of Clubs.

Seems like a long drop...

Murky swamp music is probably muddy?

Short submission because I had to stay a bit late at work...
I'm kinda tired, too.

GIGAVLKVLTTGLPALISWIKRKRQQ

Change is difficult or something?

Trying out new melodies and structures. Learning new things isn't as easy as it seems...

It'll be a tough climb from here on, but I'll do my best.

Played around with Fire Emblem Awakening themes, but the originals sound so much better...

Don't think, just act.

It gets pretty dark at night in the desert.... What might you find?

Once the Freedom Engine starts, its life is continuous.

From one boundary to the next, the story continues.

To das skies!

Experimented a bit, but I don't really like it.

Bleh

This is probably some OP Fairy-type attack!

To make the dream a reality.

Ughhhhh my mind keeps getting drowned in generic EDM...

I guess this is what I get for composing in a cafe with top 40s EDM stuff playing from the nearby loudspeaker...

Blahhh I didn't like how this turned out...

But I suppose I should submit it anyways...

Adventures in covers/mashups!

Wish I had time to add more to this...

It's easy to run away if you blind everyone first!

something something gud edm

Remixing is fun!

I think I'm pretty bad at EQing things, this sounds really muddy and unclear to me...

I think this is what a trap remix of contemporary music would sound like! :D

Also, I wrote my first ever flashgame for Ludum Dare, check it out here:
http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-29/?action=preview&uid=34803

Music for the game:
https://soundcloud.com/acuitynpc/bubble-cannon

Apparently, this energy source can be used to distort human perception.

I felt like remixing this.

It's hard to desire revenge if you don't feel anger.

Each next step reminds us of the ones we've taken so many times in the past.

I'm too tired to try. Buttonmashing is an okay strategy, right?

"You've become the sniper, just like you've always wanted to be. It's just... being the sniper isn't as awesome as you thought it was."

There's nowhere to run...

These waters are ratchet or something...

Attack before they can!

Your grades sometimes don't reflect how much you learn...

You are only given a certain amount of time on this world, and it's up to you to decide how to use it.

Swapped files with DDRKirby(ISQ) every 15 minutes for this one!

Acuity: uhhh
Acuity: do I put ft. DDRKirby(ISQ)?
Acuity: or something?
DDRKirby(ISQ): surew hataertne

What accelerates the universe?

Eh, kind of uninspired.

If life is just a game, why do we push our limits? We choose to push our limits for those resources we need.

You've finally found the perfect coexistence... but as all things are, eventually it all fades away... and you awaken...

Sometimes you reach the point of no return.

TOO HUNGRY NO COMPUTER

done at DDRKirby's place with Audacity and microphone

uhhhhhh

i need food

I wanted to try remixing, but I pretty much just cut the bass from the source and added my own stuff...

Oh whoops, I didn't notice the time while wrapping this up.

Sometimes it's bad to be satisfied with what you have. Maybe you're just lazy. Maybe you should strive for more...

Violinist - StatusKuo
Pianist - Acuity

So StatusKuo and I have been a bit busy with school and a composition project (he's my violinist!) We decided to jam for this compo, so open up your braintank buddy, cuz here comes some 91-octane improv at your ear holes!

StatusKuo: The first 30 seconds are a bit shaky, but this is live...so you can go eff yourself.

Our compo works with the original 4-chord-thingy as our ancient sanctuary. It's a bit old and shakey, but we bring it back to life. Then you send it in, get back to your real ancient sanctuary: studying. Get A's then DGAF.

Maybe you just don't have enough normal force to grip...

Just you and your crew, exploring the vast unknowns of space.

**** DO NOT VOTE FOR THIS ENTRY ****

Yeah I wanted to finish this so I took an hour and a half...

An icy horizon lies beyond the haze.

Well, it looks like you're the final defense for our planet.

Good luck, have fun, don't die.

Did this on my laptop, probably sounds pretty bad...

I'll be kind of in and out of listening party today.

Is this what gives us life? We can't even see it with our own eyes. Does it exist?

Sometimes you just wanna spread your wings and escape from it all - seek a new world.

Meh, I'm tired but done with finals now.

Practiced making trap again.

Experimented with stuff. Probably not that good.

In your worldline, you matter more than anyone else.

(Rerendered because of error...)

Can't stay for the whole listening party today, have to be somewhere tonight.

The grass is always greener... only for those who put their effort in making it green and keeping it green.

Even if one has everything he needs to make it green, why doesn't he do it...?

Trying to do Electro House, dunno if this is electro enough...

LOL EXPERIMENTING.

Never quit, never surrender. When things are too difficult, you just gotta put your tryhard hat on and get yourself back on the path to victory.

The luminous river flows on...

Sometimes you just have to let probability decide, be it fate or luck.

Life is an adventure, right?

Started in major because I don't do that often...

Sometimes you just don't know where you want to go, but it is your own journey to find out.

Made this in like half an hour, will be skipping listening party tonight, hanging out with my cousins!

Meh, started late because I had my last final today. Tired...

Sometimes you just can't win, and you slowly bleed away...

Sometimes it's hard to remember...

I'm tired from driving for 7 hours today, and I wanted to be lazy. Derped around in Loopmuse (a program DDRKirby wrote a while back) and this was the result!

Bleah, I'm sick right now. Some kinda BUG going around or something.

Collab 3-way awesomeness with DDRKirby, Azura, and Myself!

0:00-0:20 minutes = Azura
0:20-0:40 minutes = DDRKirby
0:40-1:00 + final tweaks + upload = Acuity

I am SO slow at working, felt like I added no content... T_T

Reuploading because I forgot to add a limiter (I'm a nub)

Melodies from the past drift in and out...

Experimented with stuff, hope it fits the theme at least...

Song probably doesn't want to render properly because it's haunted or something. HAHAH.

Sometimes you just need to take a break. Good thing there's a nice cave for shelter behind the waterfall...

Alone on the island, you reflect on memories of the life you had before. You want your friends, your family and the more you think about them, the more you miss them...

You know those weird dreams that seem very out of place? And then you wake up and can't even remember what was going on? Yeah.

As the data analyst on this ship, I am responsible for looking out the window and collecting data. And man, it doesn't look good out there.

"Incoming serious enemy threat. Blue sector. Repeat, incoming enemy threat. Blue sector."

I hope we make the jump to hyperspace okay.

At night in the misty forest, you see a blurry figure in the distance in the distance.

As things slowly change, you realize that everything looks horribly wrong...

The hidden land.

No one knows what kind of research they do in that lab...

Someone always has to lose when you are a hero. Sometimes it is you.

Sometimes you just KNOW it's gonna rain.

You build a shelter in the peaceful valley.

Anything goes in your dreams. It's up to you to take what you want.

Alone...
death...
fear...
slowly...
seeps..
in...

Every day I go to class, I can't wait to play.
Sip some coffee 'cuz I know that I gotta stay.
Day dreamin' of the different things I wanna do.
Just know that in the end I wanna be with you.

Just another problem that I gotta solve here.
Gotta pass the class, nothing else to fear.
All the time in the world, look up to the sky.
Build my airship, so I can

Fly
Way up high,
Watching the clouds pass by.
In the sky...

The flower of hell blooms in reverse.

Naraku no hana.

Brake and downshift before the turns!

(There are still some render errors, blaghhh!)

Things just aren't working. And you snap into a different mental state. This is your wake-up call.

(Trying to go for a kind of rock feel with this one?)

I got home half an hour into the compo, and I have to go somewhere soon. Enjoy the live piano!

Don't you wish you had that last waltz?

You slowly drift off to sleep and into the safe haven of your dreams...

Pick your hero and start the game.

The icy wind cuts across your face.

RESUBMITTED BECAUSE OF RENDER ERROR. I HATE MY COMPUTER.

Testing some things out, please excuse me.

You realize that you might as well do what you can.

Work all day.

Friendship. Is. Magic.

It's fun to do OHC while hyped up on caffeine.
YEEEEEEEAHHHHAHAHHHHAHAHHHH!

The heroes that have passed on during their journey are not forgotten.

Drums and Fzfzfz.

So I'm stuck at an airport in Denver. 4 hour delay on my flight... Good thing there's wifi!

The wind brings life to these abandoned ruins.

Only few know what remains.

I don't know who you are.

This is all that is left.

(Experimented with octatonic scale...)

Intense focus is key to victory.

The leaves drift by as you run home because your last class ends 20 minutes after OHC starts.

The flames of hell make everything sizzle.

Spread the word! Celebrate her birthday by giving everyone roses!

Lucky to be back here with you all. Luckiest guy in the world? =)

Snowslide of the Golden Witch.

Also, I'm not gonna be around until July, so see you guys then?

The ultimate power lies in music.
I will never abuse it.

I know, it's hard to see, but
I'll make this harmony.

(Reuploaded this with my tenor vocals instead of falsetto. I need to work on both a lot still.)

Your new navigation system formed by adding sinewaves will lead the way!

These drops of rain keep the forest alive.

So I only had half an hour to do this, and I decided to try to learn how to do drums better. Still have a lot to learn. =(

You are part of the squad responsible of taking care of the meteor crisis. Even if you lose your life in the process, Earth will be safe.

Worked with DDRKirby(ISQ) for this one - swapped project files with him at 20 mins, then swapped back at 40.

WHY CAN'T I UPLOAD THIS PROPERLY T___T
(I blame DDRKirby's internet.)

Little do you know, this waterfall is made with artificial water.

You jump from the rooftop into the forest, weaving your way through the dew-covered branches.

You used to be so meek, hiding away in the shadows. Something just changed.

Now you're the coolest cat in town, just strolling around.

Reuploaded.

You hold an Ace and Ten of Clubs.

The flop is a King of Clubs, Queen of Clubs, and 3 of Hearts.

The turn, 5 of Diamonds.

The river....?

As you close your eyes, the rest of the world fades away.
All that is left is this.

You are floating, high above the tall mountains and rolling plains. Instead of looking down, you gaze out at the huge landscape before you.

I had to run home, because my class ended at 5:50 today.

Your ship drops your squad of 6 troops off into hostile territory. Knowing that you can't look back, you march forward, ready to vanquish all that you encounter.

With the zombie invasion came chaos and disorder.

You are part of the regal brigade, able break the second law of thermodynamics, reduce entropy, and bring order to the universe.

Because I copied the chord progression from Starlight.

As the young hero tries to wake up... he feels a dark, heavy force holding him still. His eyes open, but he can't move. Struggling to breathe, with his eyes wide open, the hallucinations begin.

You find a cave. It is full of glowing lights. Conveniently, this cave leads towards the center of the Earth.

The flies keep coming back. And they sound annoying.
