Hi everyone! This kind of post usually goes to Patreon, but this time I'd like to tell all my listeners about what's going on with the channel and what I've been doing.
As work on original game music soundtracks has wound down for now, I'm finding myself with more time to invest into the channel again. Unfortunately, for the past 1.5 years the channel hasn't been doing great - views overall are down substantially. I've tried quite a few different things to fix this - video essays about game music, original material, back to piano arranging, Celtic stuff etc. - but nothing has revitalised the channel. The main thing that felt rewarding on YouTube last year was doing live streams, mainly to have some more direct contact with you all.
Most Zeldatubers have felt something like this happen after Tears of the Kingdom came out, but still it's hard to pin down why the channel overall is back to **pre-pandemic levels**, a far cry from the kind of growth I was hoping The Sequel to Breath of the Wild would bring. Alas.
Fortunately, the much more stable Spotify and Patreon have kept this channel going, and I'm eternally grateful to everyone on YouTube and other platforms for listening to my silly stuff!
In an effort to find a broader audience and flex the skills I've developed while composing for CLOUDHEIM, GUILD SAGA and SOUL STALKER, I've tried the big orchestral thing with Colgera. Keeping in mind that YouTube is where dreams go to die, I'll contain my enthusiasm, but it's been doing really well... Comparatively, it's doing amazingly well even.
So I'm working on another big orchestral thing that will hit the channel as soon as Colgera has run it's course. It might hit Patreon earlier!
I'm even happier with the new orchestral arrangement than I was with Colgera... It's a track I've wanted to give a full treatment for some time and it's turning out to be a real banger! 🐫
Anyways, thank you so much for listening to my work, and hope you'll enjoy what's ahead.
