With about half the votes, video game music won the poll! I was honestly surprised it won by so much.

So you’ll get Zelda, you’ll get Undertale, and you’ll get something new :)

Doesn’t mean I’ll stop covering other kinds of music, but I’m planning to release a bunch of awesome songs from games starting this Friday with one of the most famous songs from gaming history. Stay tuned.

After that, I’m preparing a lineup of classics and I want your input of course. Let me know what you wanna hear!

Hi everyone, here's long overdue update! If you have the time, give it a read and let me know your thoughts!

Earlier this year I took a pretty long break from the channel. I got a little burnt out from Arcane covers and I had a few people ask me for commissions so I took some time to make those and also some other original music for fun to change up the pace. That's aside from tons of traveling and general business with work. But eh, who cares about excuses.

As you can tell I'm back at it now and excited to keep improving as a composer so I can bring you all my best work! I played viola throughout school and I'm bringing it back into my life, doing duets with my partner and stuff like that. But the software instruments still sound better than me so I'll keep practicing :D

For what to make next, it's honestly up in the air. I have way too many ideas and generally just pick whatever I'm most excited about. The more fun I'm having, the more often I get lured into my studio for a session, and you know that means better music.

Anyways, what I'm getting to is that sometimes I get choice paralysis deciding what to work on next because I have to balance how much I want to make something with how much I think other people want to actually hear it lol. I have this giant backlog and haven't shared it because of some anxiety about being obligated to finish it, which will literally never happen. Also sorry for being all over the place and covering random music you don't care about. That might keep happening.

So here's some options I'm considering, not the full list obviously, but what I'm interested in currently. Feel free to leave a comment about something specific too and I'll absolutely consider it.

Happy day! My full album of instrumental covers from Arcane Season 2 is out now! You can find it on almost all the major streaming platforms:
- Spotify: open.spotify.com/album/789MgPA5vFXRGOPnYyVzb1?si=Z…
- YouTube Music: https://youtu.be/xOGgDqdU3hw?si=UbRvF...
- Amazon Music: amazon.com/music/player/albums/B0DRM7FZC4?marketpl…
- Deezer: deezer.page.link/Vfb1jp2Ys1WRLoXo8
- many more

Unfortunately you won't find this album on Apple Music because they don't allow the use of TV show names in album titles.

It took nearly a month to get this one approved and sent to stores, and I was starting to think it was never going to happen. Then just yesterday it was approved and today it was sent out! Best Christmas present ever. Hope everyone enjoys the music!

People have been asking to use my music in their videos and covers. My answer is always yes! And I appreciate being asked.

I recommend downloading the songs from Bandcamp for a few reasons below. Also Bandcamp Friday is tomorrow! (that's when they waive their cut and give artists every cent)

1. You get the best quality, so you're representing me (and yourself) the best
2. It's another metric I can use to understand which songs people like
3. Dollars add up! I almost have enough in Bandcamp sales to get a new pair of headphones :)

It's always fun for me to see how people are using my music. And there's a better chance I'll see it if you credit me in your description (I literally get notified)

No strict rules here, just art in service of art

Stats like this always break my brain. It’s like playing through Elden Ring 1,194 times. Or 238.8k matches of League of Legends.

10,000 Subscribers!

Thank you all so much for listening to my music and showing me and the algorithms that you want more.

After reaching 1000 last year I told myself that if we reached 10k I would start taking things more seriously. In reality I started to do that a while ago after buying myself a much nicer computer as a 5k sub present. Now all I really wish I had was more time. So my 10k gift to myself is to carve out more time in my life for music :)

I’m glad Arcane is coming out now because it’s such a great source of inspiration while also providing a creative outlet. You can probably tell from my uploads that I’ve been looking forward to it for a while! So expect some more Arcane stuff soon. And after that who knows. I’m always happy to get recommendations.

Now here’s a bunch of updates:

—-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bandcamp - melodicimmersion.bandcamp.com/

Here you can find (nearly) every song I’ve produced and download the highest quality versions. You can also use it just to listen and the mobile player is decent. But I understand most people prefer to stream elsewhere.

—-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SoundCloud - soundcloud.com/paul-devito-270647719

This is probably the best place to actually listen to my music that isn’t YouTube - especially remixes with vocals. YouTube and SoundCloud are the two most lenient platforms for uploading remixes. Although SoundCloud has been cracking down a little lately.

You can make an account and follow me and all that stuff. Plus, I’ll usually upload here the night before I release something on YouTube. Same goes for my Bandcamp.

—---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elsewhere

Just google your preferred streaming service followed by “Melodic Immersion” and I should show up. If I don’t show up at all then none of my distributors support the platform. If I do show up but not the song you want to listen to then I may have just not released it yet. Feel free to leave me a comment on the specific video if you’d like me to prioritize it.

—-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Supporting me - buymeacoffee.com/melodicimmersion

I was asked what’s the best way to help me out, and my answer has been to buy songs/albums on Bandcamp. As another option, I set up the page above.

Every cent I make from streams, downloads, and YouTube ads will go towards music - either software, hardware, or fixing my viola that I haven’t practiced since high school.

—---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That’s it for now! Thanks again to everyone who’s stuck around while I cover music from random things I like. I’m gonna keep doing it!

Working with my distributor has become very difficult. Bear with me as I take the time to find a new one. Unfortunately this means nothing new on Spotify and Apple music for now. "I'm So Sorry"

I'm So Sorry / Kai's Theme is out on streaming services! ditto.fm/im-so-sorry-kais-theme

And of course, follow me on your favorite streaming platform to see new songs as soon as they're distributed.

Compared to this channel, my Spotify and Apple Music libraries are lacking a lot. To everyone asking for specific songs on Spotify, don't worry. I want to get all the platforms synced up soon.

To start, here's my first One Piece cover ditto.fm/gomu-gomu-no-bazooka. Thanks for the positive response so far!
