since I'm visiting the forums again for the first time in forever, I decided to go through and gather up a small chunk of what I've made for SA over the years and put it into a single thread so that people can download it if they want for nostalgia purposes, since almost none of it is available anywhere else, and it's just sitting on my hard drive anyway.

I'm not sharing anything I was paid to do, since who knows where ownership falls on that - there were no contracts ever. This is almost nothing anyway, just Doom House and Mood House, and both of those were paid way under my actual rate (about 10% or less). Everything else I did for SA, I was paid absolutely nothing for and it's still mine, so I'm sharing it. If you hear music in this stuff, I wrote it. If you hear a voice, that's me (unless it's recognizably Fragmaster, or a woman). If you don't want it, that's also fine, ignore it, I don't care, live your life man. here are the things:

Things I made for the Flash Tub

Link - Music for Chufflebells (the very first Flash Tub)
Link - Chufflebells title card
Link - Dracula is Coming End Narration
Link - My orchestration of Breakfast Duck's Terrible Christmas - A Letter to Santa
Link - The music and narration that I made for Hopkin Green Frog, a Film Noir Detective Story
Link - The same thing, but with the original music I pitched (I think the notes said "it's too fast"? I don't remember. I still like this version better.)
Link - The Super Kansas City Worldskippers main theme sting
Link - The Super Kansas City Worldskippers Episode 1, all music
Link - The Super Kansas City Worldskippers Episode 2, scene 1 music
Link - The Super Kansas City Worldskippers Episode 2, scene 2 music
Link - The Super Kansas City Worldskippers Episode 3, all music
Link - Moof's Cartoon 1, Melodo Perez The Christmas Lobster
Link - Moof's Cartoon 2, Spooky Milo, The Lonely Halloween Spider
Link - Christmas Time In Essex - Christmas Time In Essex (lyrics by Shmorky)
Link - Christmas Time In Essex - Coal Mining Boy (lyrics by Shmorky)
Link - Christmas Time In Essex - Regular Scrooge (lyrics by Shmorky)
Link - Christmas Time In Essex - Who Am I (lyrics by Shmorky)

Things I made specifically for Lowtax's projects
Link - Original version of the Salad song, Part 1
Link - Original version of the Salad song, Part 2
Link - Original version of the Salad song, Part 3
Link - After Lowtax was told he couldn't have any swearing in his fake commercials, he changed "poo poo" to "hooray" and asked me to re-record everything.
Link - One day Lowtax hassled me to make him a "spaghetti western sounding" theme for Reginald P. Linux. I made this for him, and then he demanded I speed it up. I did. He never used it.

Things I made in FYAD for requests

Link - "sing me a song about a girl"
Link - "sing a song about how girls are pretty, here are the lyrics"
Link - "my favorite song is the song of meat, sing that"

Doom House Stuff

Link - Doom House: Trailer Music (I think this was unused?)
Link - Doom House: Intro and car scene
Link - Doom House: A short reusable cue
Link - Doom House: Triumphant Victory
Link - Doom House: Weird Figurine Music

Other things

Link - The time I made a Tomtom voice out of Fragmaster, but it didn't work correctly at first.
Link - A beautiful and heartwarming voicemail I received from Fragmaster. <3
Link - Collaboration with The Yellow Yell Sussudio
Link - Collaboration with The Yellow Yell Against All Odds
Link - Collaboration with Taco The Wonder Dog (RIP :( ) and The Yellow Yell Maneater

Thank you Colorfinger for all of these things you have made, posting it in this fashion lets us package it up easily to sell on CD-ROMS that will come in TeddyGrahams boxes or Buzzfeed articles.

also not to unduly poo poo on the recently deceased, but I want to also mention this here to get it off my chest and make it "public" to anybody who might even vaguely care... anyway here's the thing:

despite me doing all the work that I did for free for SA, Lowtax continued to hassle me for additional free work in recent years, including after I unfriended him by going through other people. when I shut him down, he decided to badmouth me publicly and then lie about paying me with a VST (spoiler: he never bought me anything) and claiming that this meant I somehow owed him to work on future projects (???). this one's odd, because a) if he had paid me with a VST, that would've been payment for work already completed, and b) he didn't buy me a VST. I kind of don't want the last public interaction between me and him to make it look like I was trying to screw him over, so here's what really happened:

Asking me to do music for Doom House 3
Me politely declining to write new stuff, and giving other pre-written tracks
Him messaging me through somebody else after I unfriended him
His reaction when I literally just said "No thank you."
His Facebook post accusing me of being terrible because I didn't want to work with him

anyway, here's wonderwall

Haschel Cedricson posted:

Hold on, who told Lowtax that and why did he have to listen? Is this a Google Ads thing?

Not that I care because "hooray" is funnier, but still.

if I remember correctly it was originally part of some Rifftrax festival thing, and they mandated no swearing

My older brother and I still do cheap impressions of your Peezle Ward characters at each other.

Thank you for being the only decent person left from the Flash Tub.

lol that blows my mind. I loved doing Peezle Ward. I wish we had done more, but that's obviously never gonna happen now, I'm just the voice of it, I couldn't write it if I tried. Back when we were doing it, I did try to get Shmorky to pitch it to Adult Swim multiple times when their submissions were open and he (they?) wouldn't go through with it. There was actually a finished full length episode spec script for it, which I recorded audio for and sent, but nothing got animated for it sadly. The episode length script wasn't nearly as punchy as the shorts though.

also thanks :)

Hey Colorfinger I've always loved the Song of Meat but what was the backstory to that? I never knew where it came from because I found it through your old avatar that linked to it.

around 2004ish i posted a thread in FYAD saying "tell me a song to play and I'll play it for you" and people started making weird surreal requests, which is what i had hoped for. one of the requests was worded something like:

"can you play the song of meat? it's my favorite song about meat"

so I made something called "The Song of Meat". The other ones around it up top are from that same thread

Sourdough Sam posted:

"I cloned meself, then I cloned me clone, so me clone wouldn't be alone" is still so amusing to us.

btw, apparently I still had the original script for this in my email lol

Interested in the answer to this one

uhhhh I remember when that one was made, and it came out of a thread that Shmorky posted in FYAD asking a bunch of people to do remixes of the original audio from old cigarette commercials. I did do a remix in that thread, but mine isn’t the one that got used. I can’t remember whose remix got used, sorry. It’s really really good though.

Nope! I got paid for Doom House and Mood House. I asked for archives access too as payment for doing work for the site and Lowtax told me "take it out of the money you got for Doom House".

do you still do contract audio work For Actual Money?

I do! I am (I think) a lot better at production now than I used to be. This year I've been working on a (goon) game called Outworlder, a TV pilot called Mac & Watson, and a new Mega64 project. I can't show you the latter two because they're not released yet, but Outworlder is on Steam and YouTube if youre interested in hearing it. I also made this remix of Kitboga for fun:

https://youtu.be/-My3OknPZTQ

If you wanted to work on YouTubey stuff together, I'd absolutely love that.

Last year I very briefly tried to do something for Daniel From Second Life, but he asked me to shut it all down when he got paranoid about it, so if you see comments from his fans on my YouTube channel, that's why.

Short version - I always wanted to work with you on something, and I'd still love to!

Yeaaah, it definitely wasn't a great response. For Doom/Mood House I got paid a grand total of what I would (now) charge for about 2 minutes of finished score, so he got a killer deal. It's a lesson I'm still slowly learning - never work for free, even if it's the thing you're passionate about. People only ever want endless revisions and more stuff for free when it costs them nothing.

I bet Rich sent that plugin to someone else

Maybe. Or he was just flat out lying to make himself look better. When he posted that I even went through my email (I've had the same gmail since 2004 at this point) and every email I ever got from him in case I missed him sending it to me. Nothing about a plugin at any point. Lots of flash tub scripts though.

That said, he tried calling me to buy tires one time and then got super confused and angry when I told him he had the wrong number, and he insisted that he had already paid for the tires, and wasn't going to pay again... so he certainly wasn't super specific or careful about who he was contacting.

He is very secretive.

I don't want to post all over this thread about DNSL stuff, cause this is about old SA stuff rather than any of the things I've done since then. I'll PM you if you're really really interested, but I'm not super interested in rehashing really silly year old drama. At this point there is no ongoing project that is going to happen, and as far as I know there was never a plan for one.
