The songs I made for this project, and own are all here to listen to freely, and for download if you'd like them. Honestly, THE VAULT (Bandcamp) is where you want to go if you want to see my entire released music catalogue. SOUNDCLOUD was a site i used a lot, but need to catch up on.Other than that, for this project, the ALBUMS here and the VIDEO PLAYLISTS should sum it up.

         I'm thinking that the image above is of when I was doing either "The Android Deity..." (track 05) or "Maiden Amerika" (track 46?)-- they're both on the "Byrd Mess On Strings" fundraiser album (listed below). It's an instrumental album, based on strings. This program (above) was ACID. "Was", past tense, is the key word, as in so many issues with the program and company that when it stopped working, and then the account just vanished on its own (because they say it wasn't deleted, it's just that no one can find it, and the email addresses used come up with no account), and the serial number I gave them was no longer a valid serial number-- now (as of Dec. 2024) all audio production for the project is on pause. So, since those were some of the last songs I'd done, I'm thinking this was a shot of one of those. Still looking for a new D.A.W. to get back into it, because there's a LOT of things that need to get done. That whole post about "WHAT'S NEEDED" (on Patreon) is accurate. Acid is a great program-- it's just, currently, the business of it sucks. When it was Sonic Foundry (who started it) it was great.

         Anyways, THERE'S A LOT OF MUSIC IN SAMURAI RUACH. I've been doing all of my own music and recording since maybe 1998 or '99. The best way to get the sounds and everything that i wanted, or as close to what i could hear in my head, was to just do it myself, so that's what I've always done. This project is no different-- as far as the songs I've done for it. There are other songs that fit, that i did not create, and I throw those in as best as i can. The Patreon and writing formats here on this site allow me to add songs in (via videos) right when they occur, so you can press play and listen to the song in the background just as it's playing in the reading. I'll even read the [book/short/script/etc/] as the song is playing to get the timing right. You can see this in things like the music in CHAPTER 2 of Samurai Ruach the novel, when Ben goes to the Market District and meets Aminah, and plays Mind Over Matter. Also, in the short stories, the whole episode of Dr. Judith Wood and her colleagues, playing music in the background while uploading Malena into the AI world. There's also songs that play in the background of Mind Over Matter gameplay (play-along) videos, and other videos. So, from that, you can see there's a few different usages in music in this project.
