Hello everyone!
I'm very excited to be able to share with you this full behind the scenes video for Shine Through! We had a second camera rolling for most of the time we were filming and we've edited it down to this nifty lil' look behind the curtain.
Full BTS videos like this are something that working alone, I've never been able to spare enough time to put together. But thanks to the incredible support from everyone here on Patreon I've been able to expand operations and make T...

You voted! And so I take 0 responsibility for this! The next set of Patreon Exclusive merch is now LIVE!
You voted overwhelmingly for Vending Machine of Love! (I swear I will keep including The Apex as an option until it wins and I get to do a 'Pie with a landmine' tee.)
Anyone joining a merch tier from this point on, or who has completed their 3 pledges for the previous design and is about to...

And here is the song again in full quality WAV as well as the A Cappella and, as a rare treat, the instrumental!
Oxygen did incredible work composing this piece especially for the project at such short notice. I wanted a sort of Mumford & Songs meets Chainsmokers vibe and he nailed it.

Remember how in a previous post I said how 'Room for Improvement' was a rare example of a project that was spontaneous and didn't have the luxury of lots of time for pre-production? Well good(?) things come in pairs I guess!
When Square Enix reached out to me to make a music video for them it broke my heart, but I had to turn them down. I was in the middle of moving house, everything I owned was in boxes and I was just days from loading all of those boxes in to a van. But not only that,...

'Ello, love.
I've managed to up the quality on the ol' song with a decent wav export an' I managed to strip off all the instruments for you an'-all.
Any chance of a cuppa?

"Look I know I said I'd upload these songs just after the video but I had to grab a bap on the M25."
I had a blast making this song and video but in truth, the whole project was born of convenience. I had all my content planned ahead to cover my time out I needed to move house but the whole process took WAY longer and I needed something I could make to cover the gap in my plans.
I was sat in my kitchen, surrounded by boxes, flanked by decorators working on the house and ...

Normally I write a big long description for these, about my thoughts and process. But I've taken so long getting around to uploading this and I have SO little time that I figure you'd rather just have the MP3 and settle for the SparkNotes version!
I always loved this track but it was, at the time, a massively ambitious project for someone with very little musical experience. I'd never attempted such big harmonies or layers before and I really think it showed. The origi...

Hello everyone! I'm incredibly sorry for my absence around these parts lately! The house renovation and move has been really kicking my behind and I've got some other real exciting things in the pipeline too!
I've not had a chance to sort and upload the tracks for the 'It's a Joy' remaster yet! I'm really sorry! They're on the way! But by ways of an apology, here's some very early access to this week's video! I rarely have something finished so ahead of schedule but this week is going t...

And here's the track from a higher quality dimension! And also a dimension where instruments don't exist!
I know a cappella versions aren't for everyone but this one really shows off all the complicated harmonies on the track and I think is really worth a listen. :P

Something a little different!
I've loved the Ratchet and Clank series since the PS2 days. Sadly however when the series moved to the PS3, I didn't and I lost my way with the series. But when Rift Apart was announced for the PS5 I knew I had to not just play it but also write a song about it.
I initially planned to do something silly and befitting the series' more cartoony tone but as I discovered more about the game I realised it dealt with more serious and hard hitting themes un...

The results are in! You overwhelmingly voted for The Data Stream to be the inspiration behind the next set of patron rewards! I should realise by now that doing a merch poll immediately after a new video and including said video is maaaaybe going to skew the vote a little. Whoops!

It's breakdown time! The video kind, not the mental one!
I'm so happy to finally have this project out there and with how it turned out.
It's a little different from how I initially envisioned it. Back in October/November when I was planning the initial video I had grander plans. But with the video being delayed and the game being a... riskier... content proposition than it looked to be before it crashed onto the scene in a car stuck halfway in a wall, surrounded by teleporting po...

Come on guys, you know the drill by now... Game with an evil corporation and a real world thematic parallel? I'm there.
Will I one day run out of business terminology to do clever flips and puns with? Certainly. But I'm not there yet!
Originally I went into this track with a slightly different concept in mind, that of corporate espionage and subterfuge, a theme prevalent in the Corpo storyline of the game. But as I wrote I realised I didn't really have anything t...

Crikey, this was a big one. Without a doubt the largest and most complex video to date. Six days of shooting, 3 separate sets, 2 green screen shoots, a location shoot (at night!) and more props and costume than you can shake a stick at, the video took months to plan and complete.
I've said in the past that shooting on a set instead of a green screen saves on post production time because most of the work moves to pre production. Fiend Like Me was a lot of work in pre production ...

GOSH does it feel good to finally have this project out there! Dan and I started brainstorming this track back in 2019 when the song was announced! I initially pitched the idea to Dan as a song just for him, when the TV themes in the trailers gave me the idea for a 'Dive Into the Madness' sequel abut 'Tuning in', but Dan liked the idea enough to invite me onto the track too!
This was an incredibly fun track to put together, I'd always wanted to work with old archive samples, its somethi...

No self respecting would-be intercontinental-consolidator would dare embark on a campaign for conquest without a darned snazzy desk to sit at and machinate. Blofeld? Desk. Mr Burns? Desk. Darth Vader? We never see it but you can bet he had one somewhere and it probably had lasers.
If you've seen many of my videos (if not what are you doing here?) you'll know I'm no stranger to desk-based content. In fact some of my videos that don't have desks specifically don...

Have you ever dreamed of running an evil empire from a secret underground location? Craved a subterranean existence to escape the stresses of the surface world? Or perhaps you just want to save money on the heating bill by living with the luxury under-floor heating powers of magma?

The day they first announced Evil Genius 2 way back in 2019 I had already written a bunch of notes. I just KNEW I'd do a song. The original game meant so much to me and I still play it now and then.
I had no idea Rebellion, the publishers of the sequel, would reach out to me to officially sponsor me! I have strict rules on what sort of content I'll take sponsorships for, a game has to feel right on the channel and make sense as a Stupendium song. This may be my first full spon...

Hello everyone!
With this week's video just a couple of days away I wanted to post here to update you all about it with some important info!
This week's video is for the game Evil Genius 2. I'm super excited about it, it's the most ambitious video I've ever made and the game itself is the long-awaited sequel to one of my absolute favourite childhood games.
So why the update here? Well this Friday's video is sponsored by Rebellion, the game's publisher. It's very exc...
