A couple of years ago I was going to make an album about a space mission, kinda based on Voyager. The story is, we hear a signal coming from millions of miles away, so we launch a probe deep into outer space to find out what it means and where it came from. I'd still like to finish it one day.
🎵 An original chiptune song - "Orbit". I'll post the full song on YouTube later! (yeah, it's been sitting in a folder for ages 😭)
I also make chiptune music (mostly cover songs now)! Here's a snippet from a Muse cover song I made last year - they're what I'm most well-known for, as far as I can tell 😄
Last year I started a cover of Green Day's Holiday, which I still haven't finished and no one's heard yet, but I figured now would be a good place to show it 🤩
I'll post some chiptune stuff soon too!

Thank you! 🤩 I’m so glad you recognised the inspiration/influence, just hopefully it isn’t too obvious
Hello friends and new people! So glad you could make it. I make 8-bit/chiptune and progressive-pop music like this! 🎵✨
(woah, I haven't posted on social media in SO long.)
Today I spent some time zhuzh-ing up my music website (tombofry.co.uk, for context), because I realised a lot of the content was outdated, or didn't fit with my current writing style (specifically the commissions page).
I also improved my audio player web component, which I might release as a separate module on github, because it's pretty neat 🤓
Edit: I did it! https://github.com/TomboFry/audio-player-component

In response to my last note here, I'm going to try a sort of Discord chat bot that can file things away in the correct place, rather than rely on an external API. That way the services that offer webhooks as a premium feature, while still offering Discord as a free feature, can continue to reliably post YouTube videos and other things to the server through a message to a channel or something of the sort.
...now let's hope Discord doesn't get weird!
Hello! I'm TomboFry, a chiptune musician most well known for my songs Greyscale and Lost Companion, as well as a whole bunch of Muse chiptune covers on YouTube.
Bluesky doesn't do audio posts (yet?) so look at this picture and imagine the music that comes out of it 🤓

Had this melody and chord pattern in my head for like a year now, somewhat inspired by ELO's Twilight and various Frost* songs. It's got a 2 minute long epic intro and I've barely started the first verse 😎
Am I making prog rock now? I sure hope so! It's one of my favourite genres but always seemed unapproachable as massively complicated to actually make, but ya gotta start somewhere!
PS. considering it's a draft, expect random clipping, poorly played/sung parts, and other weirdness
Just added the ability to track Steam achievements on this site, so I guess I'd best play some games to make sure it definitely works! 🤓
