Hey, folks - I'm going to be archiving all existing music related videos from @VictorIRL and re-uploading pretty much every single instrumental (and a cappellas, too - which would be new) to @HouseOfMcKnightPublishing!
Victor McKnight is thinking, once more (dangerous):
I am not nearly in the realm of "top 'Sonic' fan music creator" by a longshot, nor do I really want to be labelled as a "Sonic creator" despite what the last few years have paved for me. I love Sonic, and I'm happy I can share what the series means to me with you folks. It's realistically becoming another "Bendy" situation for me where it is kind of becoming the thing I'm most-often associated with. I feel as though, even with Sonic-inspired music nowadays, you really have to be niche and established in a sub-community to really take off again, here... and I'm not sure that's entirely for me! I got comments recently talking about how they wanted "Overdrive" to appear in this thing called "Outcome Memories" and it's the first time I've ever heard of that! Makes me feel old. 🤣 Then you have a ton of other Sonic-adjacent music creators here that are also collaborating with franchise-official veterans like I did. It really makes you think! Not that I'm the hipster of this idea, or anything, but... I have a lot of growing to do, and I'm probably not going to find it doing more Sonic-related works, outside of the usual personal fulfilment it provides me. That in mind, I really do kind of want to try tackling different series throughout this year. What is my music career if not a constant financial and emotional risk? I think there's a lot of amazing VGM out there that's equally made an impact on me as a fan of videogames and music. So... I hope you folks will listen, when the time comes! I'm sorry that this year is starting out so slowly for me. I have personally made the investment into my next major project so I'm pretty tough on looking forward, right now. 🤣
Hey, folks—thank you for all the well wishes, and again, my apologies for taking so long on this next admittedly short cover I’m putting together. I’m popping in really quickly to announce that I’ve started adding a few disclaimers retroactively to my video descriptions, but I want it on the record once again to make things clear: I do not and will not utilize or showcase any AI generated content on this channel. The very thought to me is against the foundation of art as a whole. This will also be emphasized on future uploads. I hate that I have to do clarify on this, but my discovering of an AI generated music channel putting out Sonic covers multiple times within a week really got under my skin.
Minnesotan, here: I'm not going to go into the nitty gritty details of what's taking place here, but it's genuinely cost a heavy toll on my mental health as of late. It's also not just me. It's my friends and family in Minneapolis. I apologize for the lack of music. I really wish I could get back into the swing of things as always, but I'm finding myself waiting on collaborators to finish their parts, and whilst that happens, I'm kind of... left to my own devices just thinking about what to do with my time to get through this. I'm very lucky to be a stay-at-home person in the way that I am. It makes me fortunate. But it's still very difficult to avoid the news and keep a positive headspace all the time. It's made me feel strangely negligent to every obligation I feel I have.
With that in mind, please take care of yourselves and each other. I'll see you with new music as soon as I can.
Hey, folks! I'm currently re-opening music commission work for those who need it (and y'all can reach out to me on my website with the contact form), but after investing a large amount of money into a PC after my last one was crapping out... what better time for me to get a crazy huge opportunity for a future music project. Thing is... it also came up at a monetarily inopportune time. Sometimes, I shock myself with my ambition, and my wallet often can't keep up... so with that in mind... Assuming you have no need or desire to commission me for music directly, I'm sharing my Ko-fi link with a funding goal for a pretty expensive future project. 😁 The project WILL happen, it's just that timing is everything! I wish I could talk about what this is all about, but I don't want to, quite yet! Under normal circumstances, I would be able to afford this expensive endeavor, but I figure with the emergency purchase I had to make a month back, I should swallow my pride. Please consider helping me out if you want to! 💙 ko-fi.com/victormcknight/goal
December is a bit crowded for everyone, so I think I’ll be pushing my next release into next year. Thanks for such a wonderful year, everyone. 😊 I’m excited for what 2026 brings! 💙
I'm working on getting some new animated assets together for future videos, and with this change, I'm likely removing the end card from future videos. This is typically where I shoutout then $5 Patreon members, but now...? The new "Knight Tier" price is $3 per month, rather than $5.
All existing Patreon shoutouts are being moved to the descriptions, rather than the end of the music video!
