you guys are amazing lol one of my twitter moots literally cried over this song because they were having a rough day, and this made them feel a lot better there are a good few donations coming in from ko-fi and sales coming from bandcamp but holy crap shoutouts to the $100 dono lol tyasm uwaaahhh!!

jesus this fucks hard I don't know if a song has ever made me feel like im going on a whole ass adventure like this before

this is the proof that the genesis/md is very capable thank you for changing people's perspective on the genesis/md's sound john, you are the best

The flute-like instrument in general gives me the impression one of your FM tracks with true vocals would kick ass

I already forgive you for taking time cooking.

The 30 seconds I have been listening to this are the greatest 30 seconds my ears have ever experienced

thank you for making music. sincerely. your music means more to me than i can properly put into words. to a great 2024...! 🎉

Good luck with all of your exams, and take care with the break! Also, that message in the pattern scroll - have a merry Christmas!

This hit right in the middle of my annual (gender) feels. You have achieved FM mastery as far as I'm concerned. Rock on!

that track will be great for the last upload of the year to be honest, just because of that chiptune track rules~ thanks to you for making my days with these

I've been loving your original tunes but THIS. I ABSOLUTELY ADORE THIS ONE!!!!

This is such a beautiful composition, so much variety and great sound design!! Your melodies are really nice. I alos really appreciate the editing, although there wasn't enough time to read some of it so I had to pause a lot Good luck on your exams!! I hope you pass them with flying colours! And sometimes it doesn't hurt to be corny :) Here's to a good 2024

Amazing original as always! Good luck with your exams, and have a good break! You deserve it.

my fucking eyes widened at 1:46 and I had to pause for a minute to understand what was going on you rock, john

Truly heavenly

This song is very nice. Well done joy!!!

keep striving John, I wish you the best and only the best going into the new year and happy holidays!

i can hear so many influences in this, all filtered through your own perception and way you handle your skills, it's genuinely incredible

That was absolutely incredible. Thank you so much for sharing and those messages at the end really got to me. Didn't know I needed to read such things. Instant fan!

listening to the song and reading the text at the beginning actually started to get me emotional because i honestly relate so badly. also the song is such a fuckin banger my god, esp the stuff around 2 minutes (havent got that far in yet)

seven minutes of absolute peak...

its 2 am. vibes. i should sleep. ok im further in now and WOW this is wonderful

How long have you come since your Deflemask days, incredible stuff! It's clear that a lot of love was put into every aspect of this track, great job!

This is amazing, top-tier work!!

2023 final boss fight

what an amazing song Joy i love the message embedding into the notes starting at 5:28, and the (maybe intentional?) Lost Girl motif at 4:53

zamn

I started to put this on in the background while writing lore for my characters but then started listening to it more and yep I think this might one of the best songs I've ever heard. This is amazing. Well done Joy, well done.

Merry Christmas! May your music bring good cheers from here to many tomorrows!

3:56 GUARDIAN TOWER ???

toilet lid locked motif spotted

Holy hell, I wasn't expecting this to be as hot as it was from the chill intro!

two minutes in and i cannot describe how much this bangs. your best song by far and that's saying a lot

This piece has brought me such joy recently.. thank you

i was having an awful day, but this helped me calm down. thank you. i love your music.

This really cheered me up after a shitty day, thank you

no words, no thoughts, just _v i b e_

i cannot express in words enough how amazing this song is

first a whole ass banger then goes to dnb then the chill stuff this shits amazing you are the best

This greatly shows how great of an artist you are

Sending you tons of good vibes! ❤️❤️ this was such a banger. Merry chrimbo to you as well. ^-^ I’ve been following your stuff for a good while and I love seeing your evolution and also seeing how you’ve changed as well. Exploring identity and whatnot and how much better you’ve gotten at music. Hope the exams go well. This song really hits that end of the year vibe and I love it. ;w;

You absolutely COOKED with this one! Another Joy banger as always!

you cooked REALLY REALLY hard

Words cannot explain how hard you cooked on this one. You're a great musician and a great person! Good luck on your exams and rest well! You deserve it!

If you composed a soundtrack for a video game in this style, it would be the most fire thing I would ever hear in my life. Keep up the good work!

Beautiful

And this is why we don't tell Meg to shut up, Peter :P

This is absolutely outstanding!

What a masterpiece omg

I love this music

the worst part about this piece of music is that it ends, because it's just that good

I was never a fan of the genesis instruments outside of sonic 2 and 3 but this. It’s outstanding. Suits a sort of dreamy or space level

Can anyone give a explaination on what a csm timer is and how it's used? Probably the second time i've heard this term throw around.

Take a break, you deserve it!

So what do you use to make YM2612 music and does it cost money? If so, are there any free ways to make YM2612 music? I just want to get into the sound chip because some beauties like this are made with it. Thank you if you reply.

I don't want to be rude but can I had a bite of what You cooked ?

What you get when you combine Aquatic Ambience, Stickerbrush Symphony, the Sega Genesis soundchip, Abstract 64 and some DnB loops? You get this! Nice work as always, and what a way to conclude this year. I also like the picture on the left. Was it drawn by you or by someone else?
