That's a wrap on the music video! Thank you to everyone who helped to make this vision a reality. The response and support to the campaign has been truly overwhelming and it's because of those who supported it that this was possible. Special thanks to Miki Simankevicius, Theo Goslett, Fiona Rodgers, Hayley Anderson and Anthony Commane for their help with the shoot.I can't wait for you to see what we've put together. Can't thank you enough! ... See MoreSee Less

Episode 4 is up! This is a totally randomised challenge and I have absolutely no idea what I'm going to compose beforehand, which pushes you to compose in styles you've never considered before. Tons of fun! This time we tackle, "The Clockwork Masquerade"! ... See MoreSee Less

The team at @submissionaudio have done it again. Exuberant levels of clunk, growl and apocalyptic tractor grind in equal measure with the new DjinnBass 2 plugin🔥

Neverafter turns 4 years old... I still ship signe

Neverafter turns 4 years old... I still ship signed copies regularly from my little bedroom studio and it's such a pleasure to hear new people discovering it for the first time 4 years on. I'm grateful every day this album reaches someone new.

Neverafter was the embodiment of having a crazy vision and pouring in literally everything I loved about music, regardless of how many seemingly conflicting genres/ideas were thrown into the pot. It should not have worked, but somehow it did. It was pure, passion-driven, unrestrained musical freedom and is the reason I'm able to continue making music for a living today.

I couldn't have done it alone of course, there are countless people to thank but to name a few, this album wouldn't have been possible without the help of my friends, @thepanicroomstudio @jeffloomis1 @66samus @paulwardingham @kimaldauart - and anyone who supported the project!

Thanks to those who continue to listen today 🙌 (The sequel is well underway!)

It's Metal Month over at @toontrack and I've put together a little demo of Superior Drummer 3! As far as drum libraries go, it doesn't get better than this. Here's an excerpt from my song, "Black Lotus", to run the VST through its paces. (Full demo is up now walking you through my process - link in bio!)

I'm thrilled to announce that I've just added a NE

I'm thrilled to announce that I've just added a NEW livestream - which will now be available to ALL my Patrons, regardless of the tier. So for just a buck a month, you can jump on these exclusive monthly streams and watch me take on the challenge of composing music to a randomly A.I-generated brief!

I'll be kicking off the first of these community livestreams this coming *Sunday at 8am AEST* (Melbourne time), so please feel welcome to join in, get involved and perhaps learn something from my process!
(FYI, the Top Tier monthly livestreams will remain exclusive to top tier subscribers and continue to offer a private look at new original material as I write it with you live).

Just a reminder that by supporting me with just a dollar a month, you'll also gain early access to video content before it's published, not to mention access to my private Discord community, so it really is a no-brainer! :)

Hope to see some of you on the stream - can't wait to write some bonkers music with you! (Link in bio)

Hey everyone! I've put together an absolutely garg

Hey everyone! I've put together an absolutely gargantuan MegaVlog celebrating the 3rd anniversary of my Patreon campaign! It's up now on YT so please enjoy🤘

Social media algorithms are making it increasingly hard to reach you guys, so centralized spaces on the internet free from these constraints are becoming more and more important for musicians like me to stay connected with fans.

You can stay in the loop and receive exclusive updates now by signing up to my Patreon campaign (if you can't afford to support it financially right now, then you can sign up *for free* and you'll be kept up to date with any news I post publicly there. Think of it as a mailing list).

Super grateful as always to have such loyal and generous supporters. Be sure to check out the anniversary vlog for a few sneak peaks at the new album and what we've been getting up to on the platform. Thanks for your time 🙏

I'm still putting out exclusive 45-minute vlogs every damn month. My Patrons are keeping the dream alive and it's a pleasure to put these together for you. Here's a taster of what I got up to last month. It's never too late to sign up, even just a dollar a month goes a long way to support what I'm doing and gives you access to join our wholesome community, receive exclusive updates, plus early access to content before it goes public.

Cheers for those considering checking out what's on offer and supporting me there. Link in bio if you fancy a look. Much appreciated 🙌

What a night! Had an absolute blast - credit to all the bands and crew involved in putting this year’s “Questfest” together and making it a night to remember!

The big takeaway of the night is that you should never attempt to play guitar in boxing gloves (who knew?), but it sure was fun.

Massive respect to my wingmen @emissary.au and @frankiedrumskits for helping bring my music to life on the stage - there simply are no words to describe the feeling.

Grateful to everyone who came out and showed their support, it was a special one for sure. Until next time…

"Andy Gillion and the Hadoukens" will be appearing for the first and almost certainly last time this Saturday night! (at Max Watt's, Melbourne!)

You don't want to miss this one and we desperately need your cash to recoup the ludicrous amount of money we've spent on these costumes (not to mention all the karate lessons)...so come down and catch the shredfest of the year at this year's Questfest!

Thanks so much for all the birthday wishes, my friends. I reached level 35 yesterday and it's a privilege to know (most of) you. If you fancy joining in the party this weekend, I'll be playing a show at Max Watt's in Melbourne and intend to get embarrassingly drunk and have a jolly good time.

Meanwhile, it's back to work on new music for now - thanks to everyone who grabbed some music/merch/tabs yesterday, it made my day even more special to know you're supporting the silly music I make! Cheers and I hope everyone is doing well 😊🙏

My 2nd solo album, "Arcade Metal", turns one year

My 2nd solo album, "Arcade Metal", turns one year old today! It was without a doubt the most fun I've ever had putting together an album, not just in pouring all my childhood nostalgia into the music itself, but in the fabulous artwork, financially risky but zero-regrettable promo concepts such as custom arcade tokens, cassette tapes, and not least - getting to send you all hundreds of pizza boxes full of merch 😄. It was so much fun to put the extra effort into this project and despite many a roadblock, I look back on this one with so much gratitude for how it turned out. (Just keep smashing through your roadblocks, folks! It makes it all the sweeter when you finally get there!)

The reason these albums are allowed to see the light of day is through you supporting what I'm doing and I can't thank you all enough for allowing me to share my passion and continue to make music like this.

I've been a little secretive recently on my upcoming project, but I intend to shed some light on that soon - thanks for your patience. I seriously can't wait to bring you another record. Thanks for making this one so special!

That time @jeffloomis1 didn't show up to play his guest solo 😅 Love you bro! Next time maybe? Sadly, everyone had to endure me attempting to play it instead but it was a night to remember...as will September 9th be!

We're back at it in just over a week for the costume party/nerd fest of the year! Performing live at Questfest - Max Watt's! If you're in Melbourne, you don't wanna miss out on this one. We've gone all out on our costumes, more on that later, but if you're still without a ticket, I've got a few to give out at mate's rates so hit me up with a message if you're interested!

Looking forward to getting back on stage on 9th September at Max Watt's/Melbourne for this year's "Questfest" shinanigans!
Here's a clip from the last time we shared the stage with @orpheusomega

For anyone who has not secured one already, I have a handful of cheap tix so shoot me a message and I'll hook you up!

A little snippet from last month's vlog I put together for my patrons. There's one of these EVERY MONTH and they're typically 45 minutes of absolute drivel, much like this! If you're interested in more behind the scenes content, please consider checking out my campaign (link in bio)!

We are back, hard at work at our secret headquarters with my wingmen @emissary.au and @frankiedrumskits - preparing to step onto the stage once again, this time at QUESTFEST on Sept 9th at Max Watt's in Melbourne. It's going to be a shredfest to remember so don't miss it!

Don't miss out on the event of the year! QUESTFEST is back! - in Canberra on Sept 2nd and in Melbourne on Sept 9th! (*I'll be appearing in Melbourne only*).
