haha wow that's craaaaaazy hahaha
okay but in all seriousness i've opened up a patreon! there's no posts there yet and i'm still figuring out some of the details, but if you want to throw Money at me, it's there! B)
(link in thread)
what if i started a patreon where i post my older music that ended up on the cutting floor or was never published, maybe old versions of published songs or even a sneak peek or two into my general music-making process
wouldn't that be crazy haha
you know what, why not. we Move (chaser theme WIP from middle of the song)
this section still needs work, esp w/mixing and mastering and such, but i also can't wait for twitter compression to do me dirty with this :)
best listened to on vxtwitter obviously :3c
man, working on several tracks at once is an Experience. i rly wanna show my listeners what kind of cooking i've been up to recently, but i simply Must resist the urge 😔
and though a lot remains unfinished, rest assured. it is Good.
i see Spotify finally put Wrapped out for this year! artists got a fun little version too - feeling very grateful for and humbled by the ever-growing support from my listeners! thank you all for making it possible for me to continue making music, i am incredibly thankful! ❤
TOMORROW (WEDNES.). 7:30PM GMT+2.
the New Kyrsa theme, like it's never been heard before. be there, or the Depths claim ye!
THE REVIEWS SPEAK:
"you really are polyrhythm gonis now" - Iltria Deepwoken
"gives me so much chrono trigger vibes tbh" - Raguza (of 'Rogue Lineage' fame)
Visions should be up on Spotify & other streaming services within a week hopefully dipping my toes into the waters of releasing music to the broader public now that Deepwoken's release is coming up very soon.
presave here!:
hi folks! haven't used Twitter in ages, but - i've released two new tracks for Deepwoken recently! one of them is 'The Windsinger's Dance', and the other is 'A God, Manufactured' (aka the long-awaited Chaser theme)! find links in thread below! B) 🧵
given the difficulties of producing an original song for the Duke's boss fight, our team over at
@Deepwoken
have decided to instead play Lord Erisia's stand-up comedy routine in the background of the fight. here's a sneak peek - we hope you like it!
hello chat, i return to inform you all i have released a new track! bit of a milestone ig since this is the first time i actually played a full length song for the DW OST on a physical instrument B)
links below! 🧵
people sometimes joke to me about 'naktigonis concert LIVE', and i think about that often... imagine if i had an actual live concert, where a band performs the DW OST -what one song would you want to hear live the most? (assume 'INSOMNIA' doesn't count for this haha)
i'll address the elephant in the room - it is Decisively Not Fun when your work gets prematurely leaked into the public, and ROBLOX's asset security issues are a major reason why i think Deepwoken's going to be the *only* game i will have worked with on the platform :,)
HELLO TWITTER! (or X? i'm calling it twitter.)
i don't use twitter as a main social media anymore - but i remain here for announcements! in case you're not aware - there's a Halloween event in Deepwoken! new content! and i made a new track for it! links in thread below 🧵
Deepwoken lore is all based on Dean Martin's song "That's Amore". don't believe me?
• "when the moon hits your eye" = moonseye reference
• "that's amore" = Amorus Pleeksty, famous Black Diver
• "bells will ring" = reference to resonances, colloqually known as 'bells'
am currently at my family's house over the easter holidays and am therefore busy, but. to clear up misinfo: i'm not fired from working on Deepwoken w/Monad LOL, still w/them
i left the main server bcos i got tired of being harassed over a joke taken OoC. (thread 🧵)(1/7)
in the event that you missed it (twitter loves suppressing tweets with links), Deepwoken: Original Soundtrack (Vol. I) is now available on major music platforms! check the quoted tweet thread for info and links B)
THE DEEPWOKEN ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK IS NOW OUT! find the links to wherever it is available in this thread (will be updated as new releases appear - i will also announce in a separate tweet)! 🧵
i know i promised the Chaser theme for this Friday (and that's still on track, for the time being), but Man. what a mess of mixing and mastering this track is. i adjust one knob, and suddenly 2 things sound better, while 3 sound worse 😭

looking at my Youtube channel statistics just now and some of this is just so funny
viewer retention, this december.
tutorial music: [i sleep]
The Gideshu March: 'SIR YES SIR we will WATCH through the ads without skipping and hit the REPLAY button for The Cause OORAH!!!'
been told someone on TikTok is posting comments on ppl's videos under my name - that is not me and i do not have a TikTok account! if it's not on my Linktree, it's not my social media account.
also i wouldn't be caught dead not using my trademark pfp >:3c
in recent weeks, i've seen people saying, 'man, i wish Naktigonis shared his workflow, maybe if he streamed how he makes music or something'
i'll spare everyone the time and effort and give you a cool snippet of what i've been doing for the past 30 minutes:
an astoundingly humbling amt of ppl wished me a happy birthday & i'd struggle to respond to each individually, so i'll say to all instead - thank you all for the well-wishes! they are all much appreciated, and you are all very kind! ❤
for those wondering why i've been awfully quiet recently - i've been on a hiatus/break from work recently, taking some (arguably well-deserved) time to rest and recharge.
however, my fingers are starting to itch for some musicmaking again. expect updates soon... >:)
remember the band versions of a buncha songs we released for Deepwoken last week? well, it took some time, but they're now on their way to streaming platforms!
Deepwoken: Songs of the Sea (Vol. I) coming to Spotify (and other platforms) near you SOON! Pre-save link in thread! 🧵
(7/7) TL;DR i'm still working on Deepwoken, i was not fired, i'm doing fine thanks for asking, i am tired. screens w context of what i said in thread below.
now fie, fie! Leave Me Be and Let Me Cook, gods damn ye! that ETHIRON theme shalt not make itself!
TWO new Deepwoken tracks hitting the public today :)
tune in at 6:30 PM & 6:45PM BST (that's in just under 2 hours!) to see the premieres on Youtube - links in thread! B) 🧵
'A Light In The Sky' is now available on Spotify (see link in thread)! other music streaming platforms should either have the song available as well, or it is coming to them soon!
chat is this real?
WE REACHED 21k LISTENERS ON SPOTIFY FOR AUGUST YEAHHHHH BABEYYYY
a very heartfelt 'thank you' to all my listeners for their continued support! keep a look out for more of my music coming very soon 😏
a bit late, but happy new year!
long since due, dropping a Verse 2 track on YouTube in maybe a few hours, if Vegas Pro decides to stop crashing in the editing process...
here's a preview! >:3c
man, working on several tracks at once is an Experience. i rly wanna show my listeners what kind of cooking i've been up to recently, but i simply Must resist the urge 😔
and though a lot remains unfinished, rest assured. it is Good.
• "when you walk in a dream but you know you're not dreaming" = visionshaper illusory realm
• "when the stars make you drool just like a pasta e fasul" = lightborn/celestials reference (they're italian that's why their civilisation collapsed)
wake UP sheeple!! no coincidences!
what's a mundane video game moment that rly sticks to ur mind for some reason?
for me it's returning to New Winchester (starter area) in Sunless Skies - the flavour text goes "The taste of smog. The sound of iron on iron. We are home." and the music flares up... n it's just 👨🍳👌
UPDATE: Deepwoken OST Volume 1 will be available on Bandcamp and Soundcloud shortly after launch! streaming services like Spotify, Apple Music and iTunes will follow after that (within 5-14 days hopefully)!
after that will come all the Youtube uploads.
see a FAQ thread below!
ALRIGHT FOLKS i apologise for taking this long (technical difficulties), but 'The Killing Wind' and 'A Scoundrel's Reverie' are now on their way to Spotify (and other platforms)! Pre-save links in thread below! 🧵
also WOAH! my youtube channel just hit 10k subscribers (and 1k of them joined over the *last month*)! that's nuts! i am humbled!
a huge Thank You goes to all the music enthusiasts who have joined me on my journey so far. i would not be able to make music without your support! 🎉
@iHateNuance
@Polygon
THANK YOU someone finally said it
was literally thinking that the entire way thru the article - what of Sister Friede, Lady Maria of the Clocktower, Sirris of the Sunless Realms, Knight Anri of Astora, Quelana of Izalith? just to name a few
ever notice how the Verse 2 music releases all quote 'Sunless Skies', 'Sunless Sea' etc?
Verse 2 is just an elaborate plot by me to get Deepwoken players interested in the Fallen London universe. 😈
still thinking about the fact that there's a higher chance for me to get drafted into the actual Lithuanian military (about 10% based on personal off-the-cuff math) than roll a Felinor or Khan in Deepwoken. that's just so fucking funny to me
someone outplayed me and uploaded *all* the deepwoken music assets (even the ones hardly anyone has heard in game!) to Youtube before i did LOL
man i guess you guys *really* want to listen to that soundtrack huh!
well. good news. 3 tracks left to redo and we're good to go. >:)
Volume 1 of the Deepwoken OST dropping on Bandcamp, Soundcloud and Youtube this Saturday (or maybe Friday evening if i'm quick enough with the last touches), in glorious HD format.
be on the lookout for an announcement soon!
NEW MUSIC AS PROMISED! 'The Storm That Speaks' (Ethiron Shrine outskirts ambience) and 'Whisperwind' (Firfire ambience) are both out on Youtube and Soundcloud now (links in thread)! 🧵
i would like to publicly apologise to
@ArchRBX
for making a meme so powerful it forced the devs' hands to create the cat race in Deepwoken... forgive me that it came to this, brother......
on the upside, i guess this is canon now
the DW community is wild. sometimes i'll see lovely comments on my Youtube vids that will be like 'This is the best song ever. This divine music literally made me cry. My future children will listen to your fine tunes'...
...and it's by smb named Bum-Tickler Giuseppe or smth 🤪
i understand people's excitement for L2 - the developers are excited to get it out too! but a lot of surprises and such can be ruined by leaks like this.
do yourself a favour as a player - resist curiosity, and don't seek them out. go in blind. it's more fun this way, trust me.
got banned for putting 'gay lol' on my profile despite, y'know, being queer myself🤪
i am now happy to announce that i'm the CEO of Homophobia. the institution will see some changes under my management...
does anybody even use twitter anymore? i forgor to post about my latest track release here 💀
ANYWAY the deepwoken battle royale mode theme is out now on SoundCloud and YouTube! links in 🧵 below!
@jjbbllkk
checked their website to see if my music is on there (it was - they literally just ripped all of Spotify!), and with how long their site takes to load, i wouldn't be surprised if the grift here was 'we mine crypto in your browser while you angrily search for your music lol'
anyway. end of rant, i guess - what happened, happened.
in light of all this, i appreciate everyone's support - i've seen a lot of positive response! that assuages my fears of the complete creative direction shift of the music being divisive.
half of it is unfinished work as well - due to some major snags in life (deeply personal stuff so i won't get into it) my music production has ground to a halt (this won't affect the update's release).
the vocal one is literally an audio sketch (which isn't even for ingame use!)
MERRY XMAS, A HAPPY NEW YEAR, AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!
i have posted a Huge Q&A thingamajig on the main deepwoken discord, giving some updates and insights on my past year, and my plans for the upcoming year - if you're interested in a wall of text, read here!
seeing how twitter's falling apart and how i'm in a fun and sociable mood tonight, two things:
1) i have a tumblr account also!
2) i haven't been on there in ages but apparently it's full of questions so i'll be answering those tonight - send yours! directions in thread🧵
as a pretty small artist (6k followers on Youtube and like 4k on spotify is small beans!) it's quite devastating emotionally, as well as financially and exposure-wise - major traffic now goes to channels who have nothing to do with my work. people have built communities off less.
a bit late, but happy new year!
long since due, dropping a Verse 2 track on YouTube in maybe a few hours, if Vegas Pro decides to stop crashing in the editing process...
here's a preview! >:3c
update: render is done (had to render twice because of an error), but it's 5am and i'm tired! :)))
so, going to upload the track when i get up. see you all at the premiere on YouTube! B)
a bit late, but happy new year!

OKAY clearly someone doesn't learn and is now doing it to other people.
ATTENTION! PSA!: if you're a Roblox developer and are approached on Discord by angad
#1994
, do NOT respond - immediately block him. he will try to become a contributor in your game and sell you stolen music.
PSA: do NOT steal music from artists i've literally spoken to & try to pass it off as your own to impress me - or, even worse, claim you want to *contribute* to Deepwoken development with it! i genuinely can't believe i have to say this LOL
what a week huh.
DISTROKID ARE SUCH CHAMPS
i emailed their support and asked if they would allow more than 35 songs on an album (DW OST Vol. 1 has 36) and they said 'fuck it have 10 extra'
we are putting this shit on Spotify now let's GOOOOO
