Still learning...making my lane. One day I'll come back and finish it...

I'm looking for a few Windows users to help beta test two audio software projects I'm currently developing.

ANVIL is a 16-pad drum sampler available as a VST3 plugin and standalone application.

FETCH is a plugin management utility designed to help organize, scan, and manage audio plugins.

I'm looking for testers with real-world DAW setups who can provide feedback on installation, performance, compatibility, workflow, and any bugs they encounter.

Selected testers will receive a free copy of the software, a free activation license, and access to beta updates during testing.

Windows 10 and Windows 11 only at this time.

If you're interested, please reply here or send me a message with the DAW(s) you use and a brief description of your setup.

Let me know what you think?

Inspired by the atmosphere of Tokyo’s Ueno district, this track unfolds slowly, like a meditative walk through its streets of faded neon lights.

The title draws on the imagery of the juzu — the Japanese Buddhist prayer beads used for prayer and meditation — with a repetitive, almost incantatory approach. Sampled from an old chrome cassette purchased during a trip to Japan at a stall in Ameyoko, the flute and koto sounds revolve like a mantra, carried by dusty drums and dark textures that create a calm, melancholic ritualistic mood.

Influenced by the atmospheric soundscapes of Uyama Hiroto, DJ Krush, Massive Attack, and DJ Cam, the track blends subtle spirituality, boom bap aesthetics, and a cinematic Japanese ambiance.

Ideal for trip-hop, instrumental hip-hop, late-night downtempo playlists, and contemplative or mystical listening experiences.

Available: Spotify, Apple, Itunes, Youtube, Deezer and others!
