Well, it has been a minute since I submitted anything here, someone told me that summer 2019 was 4 and a half years ago but I think they're trying to pull a fast one on me...

This is update is mostly meant for those who have known me on some level back when I had my old name, but here's some deep lore to anyone who stumbles upon my page.

I decided to retire the name EverReverb for a couple of reasons. Firstly, it really had no connection to me in any way, it really did originate just from me learning what reverb plugins were :D I'll leave the meaning(s) behind AED-4 up to anyone's guess, but there are some indeed. Secondly, since it has been so long since my last activity, I figured now if ever would be a good time to put on a new coat of paint to better reflect my current aesthetic sensibilities. But I will always cherish the memories I made as EverReverb.

Looking back I had quite the journey, starting from someone who didn't know what stereo panning was, becoming into someone who knows even what stereo separation is. From 2015 to 2019 I made steady progress with almost each submission, much thanks to NGUAC and CHIPS competitions. It still kinda amazes me that if we discount competitions and game soundtracks, I made 5 tracks, 2 of them collabs :p

So what happened? Well, it would be easier to say what didn't :p In the fall of 2019 I started my university studies and moved out from my parent's place into a different city, so there was quite a lot on top of my plate. Add some light seasonal depression and starting a job to the mix and yeah composing wasn't high on the list of things I have energy to do do.

But on December last year I got an acute case of nostalgy. And considering that this year has some special meaning to me (just look at my profile picture), I thought it would be a good time to break the mold and actually compose something, and here we are :p

Still you really shouldn't expect more activity from me in regards to submissions :p I'll hang around the BBS and NGAP Discord, but 2024 is shaping up to be perhaps my busiest year yet.

PS. As some may know I will be hosting Newgrounds Music Triathlon soon, starting on 24th of January. But I'll be writing wholly another blog post then to detail what it's all about!
