Questions and answers. Click on a question to show my answer.
Are you trans?
Yes, I'm a trans girl. I came out in June of 2023. At the moment I'm currently pre-HRT, but I plan to get HRT in the future once I can afford to move out of my current living situation.
Who is the girl seen in the site header and some other parts of this site?
That's my OC, also named Alice. She is my persona, a representation of myself. And yes, she is also trans just like me.
What software do you use to compose music?
I mainly compose my music using LMMS. From 2020 to 2023, I used Cakewalk by BandLab, however, as of 2024, I have since switched back to LMMS.
As for vocals, I use vocal synths. At the moment, my main vocal synth is OpenUtau and the main voicebank I use is Alys, specifically her UTAU and DiffSinger voicebanks. I wish I could sing one of my own songs, but at the moment I'm not comfortable doing so due to lack of privacy.
What's your favorite song(s) you've composed?
Blue Rose Princess, Tsuioku Melodia, Fairytale, Fantasia, Morpho, Kochou Seihane, Flower's Wish, Snowy Promise, Yukira Seika, and Snow's Oath.
Do you have any plans for an album?
I've been thinking of working on an album for years now, but I still haven't gotten around to it. I have a Bandcamp account which I created for the purpose of album releases, but at the moment it's empty because I haven't released any albums yet... well, aside from a 3-track EP I released in late 2021 under the 全て蝶々の所為です。(Subete Chouchou no Sei desu) alias.
Maybe I'll start work on my first full-length album soon... who knows...
Why did you make a new SoundCloud account?
Because my IRLs know about my previous one. For your information, I do not and have never consented to my IRLs stalking my online presence.
Why aren't you on Spotify?
Because Spotify is a horrible app by a horrible corporation that rips musicians off, pays fascists more than they actually pay musicians, and has been known to be quietly funding warfare using the money that should've went to musicians on their platform.
My music is and will always be free anyway. I would much rather you listen to my music locally or on a self-hosted Navidrome or Funkwhale instance if you can.
How did you make this website?
I coded it myself. Admittedly, I'm a novice at coding, so my website isn't perfect and I can't really teach you a lot aside from what I currently know. You are free to look at my somewhat unorganized code and use it as a reference or even copy snippets of it for your website if you want.
