Jungle music release, M8 compilation

in

Some of the fine folks on the Dirtywave M8 tracker discord organized a community compilation awhile back, and it’s just been released!

Check this insane 68-track jungle compilation here! Tracks were all composed on the Dirtywave M8 tracker!

I’ve placed my contribution (#20 on the compilation) on my own bandcamp page as well; if you purchase it here you’ll receive a download with the M8 bundle (M8 project file + all assets).

Website updates! Changes!

gleix.net is changing!

Been awhile since I’ve gotten things in order around here. The website is showing its age - and while I initially had been looking into a fully new website which would mean archiving this one, for the time being I’ve decided on upkeep and big changes here given the existing structure (and headaches of a major migration).

I noted some changes in the last update blog post which included:

In addition I’ve been doing lots of general upkeep. Boring stuff like some SEO stuff and minor tweaks to individual pages across the board, but also some big stuff:

  • The Visual Art page is now filled with gifs of all sorts of work from the past decade, including a ton of never shown or private personal & client works.

  • I’ve fully redone the home page and optimized it for both desktop & mobile. Mobile is pretty straightforward, and desktop has a nifty lil’ spotlight feature.

  • A brand new resources page has been added to navigation, listing things like cool NYC spots & groups for all sorts of creative stuff, online educational resources, affiliates/collaborators, and some online communities to check out. Info needed, but links are all there!

  • Experimenting with putting a music player on the sidebar (desktop only) that will play a random album from Gleix or Broken Alias’ Bandcamp!

  • I never turned comments on for this blog! I think I’ll do that moving forward - though I don’t think I’ll go back through the full backlog. At least not right now.

  • Those who follow my work surely picked up on the fact that my old logo has essentially vanished across the board. Initially this was part of a rebranding, though now it’s just a bit of a full de-branding until I figure out what I wanna do. The old one was originally designed specifically for the Anxiety Dreams album and somehow turned into my logo for everything over time.

  • Tryin’ out a darker theme.

There are some major revamps I’d like to work on, and some updates I need to make to include new work from the past few years that never made it up here, including some larger jobs like my work for Keinemusik @ The Brooklyn Mirage and at Zamna Festival in Tulum among other things.

May have some other fun updates to come in the near future.

This website acts as a massive historical portfolio for a lot of my professional creative endeavors, which at this stage means it’s problematically vast and unfocused. This is something I’ll hopefully move toward tackling after some of the more general stuff is sorted out. Lots of slow tweaks and additions. Expect little things to break here and there while this place is under construction for the foreseeable future!

It's been awhile, huh? Updates, thoughts, etc...

Ohhhhh let’s not get into everything. People are, I think, basically here for funky electronics and “art” stuff and whatnot.

Long story short - big life hurricane. Pretty much everything. Finance stuff, employment stuff, living situation stuff, health stuff, back surgery, burnout, disillusionment, personal stuff. Big jaded about everything, most of life is in storage out of state. Mostly healed up from surgery, slowly moving forward and trying to figure out what makes sense to try and do in a world I hardly understand. Had a decent 7-8 years tenure in NYC somehow managing as a self-employed creative & technical generalist but it’s also just a bit untenable at this stage. Especially for artists. Cost of living + housing is pretty nuts atm. Definitely uh, went through the meat grinder so to speak and have come out on the other side with less of a spring in my step.

P.S. Don't let yourself end up with a massively herniated/extruded disc in your back. Not recommended. Debilitating. And my experience with the health care system in the USA during the ordeal was a nightmare.

Some notes in no particular order~

  1. I’ve got a huge CV up here now. Check it out. Also… Hey - hire me! Make big commission requests! Book me for gigs! I need work! :) Big pivot point though; exploring new opportunities and options.

  2. Check out Orbitals & The Bulleit Limitless Lounge over in Installations.

  3. Instagram (Meta et all) and social media in general is a plague on our society and the cause of much suffering. But Instagram has also been my dumping ground portfolio thingy for ages and I’m still usually fairly active there, though I disappear from time to time. But if you want to keep up with me, that’s the place to find me!

  4. Chiptune stuff! Check the broken alias instagram & this new live set. Some other new music on YouTube as well. The broken alias page has some new clips~

  5. Email blast went out to the mailing list re: Sync Eater, Video Synth stuff. Feel free to inquire directly if you missed it, but the gist is that I hope to get back to some building after a few months as I may be able to re-establish a workspace which I’ve been without for sometime.

  6. Open for consulting! I went through the meat grinder so you don’t have to! Oh god, the trauma! If you’re after some industry advice please do reach out. Happy to chat most of the time.

  7. I had a cat for a brief moment in time?

10/16/2025 edit: I’ve gone back and forth about having published some long winded diatribe about my disillusionment and general… outlook & disposition after the past 7-8 years. Decided to leave it out for the time being - that’s a book and a half for another time.

More to come. Drop your email on the mailing list if you’d like to keep up to date with whatever I’m doing in this next chapter.
