25.01.2022 Hey everyone, from 5pm tonight to 5pm tomorrow, it is Bandcamp Friday. You know the deal by now, 100% profit to the artists. There is no better time to support. I've got a single releasing in two weeks you can pre order and enjoy now here: http://thelastofthegreatromantics.bandcamp.com/ and tonnes of music you can enjoy at my composer Bandcamp (link in the comments, or on the LotGR Bandcamp - check the sidebar). My ability to do my job is entirely reliant on your ability to support, so get out there, share, listen, enjoy and purchase if you can. Hours and hours for music for less than $50. Thanks everyone.

25.01.2022 Lightbringer is now live! Thank you everyone who pre-ordered, don't forget to hop on and download the rest of your songs. For everyone else, it's available for $7AUD, or you can purchase each track individually for $2 minimum if you only want a specific track from the bunch. Thanks so much to A-S-H, Dante and Howard Viva for their phenomenal work, and please check out their relevant links for more of their extraordinary talent. https://thelastofthegreatromantics.bandcamp.com//lightbrin

24.01.2022 My first commission, a lullaby style piano cover of Sleepy Puppies by @rebeccasugar from Adventure Time for @leiapico on Twitter. If you'd like to commission me, visit my Ko-Fi: http://ko-fi.com/kynido Artwork by @beke.downes . .... . . #adventuretime #piano #lullaby #cover #commission See more

24.01.2022 I'm so excited to announce I've just published my first book of sheet music. A collection of fun little piano pieces, conveniently titled "Little Piano Pieces". Cover design by Beke Downes. Check it out now https://kyledownes.bandcamp.com/m/little-piano-pieces-ebook

22.01.2022 The industry I love, the music I love, would never, ever have existed without Black creators - Jazz, blues, pop, R'n'B, Hip Hop, Rock, Metal - so, so much more was shaped and defined by incredible creators of all colours. It is proof of systemic racism that I was taught so little of that, not through school or Uni. I still can not name a single Black composer off the top of my head, but could rattle through the European masters on auto pilot. However I can help, I will try. A...ll relevant links are below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCgLa25fDHM All ad revenue generated from this video is being donated - it is full of incredible black creators and information on relevant charities, petitions and more. Incredible resource for how to help for free, and from home. https://blacklivesmatters.carrd.co - a stockpile of all available information and support, including petitions and mental health resources. I am donating %50 of all my sales profit, for the forseeable future until the situation resolves. You can find my music here: https://kyledownes.bandcamp.com Music has always brought me through the dark times and always will, I can't imagine giving it up, and it would not have existed without the voices that are screaming in pain this week, and every week, for recognition and support and love and equality.

22.01.2022 Today is Bandcamp Friday, meaning 100% of all profits from my sales on Bandcamp got to me. You can get the deluxe edition of my piano book and much, much more. Check it out here: http://kyledownes.bandcamp.com/

20.01.2022 Per request, I've transcribed my arrangement of 505 by Arctic Monkeys. This was quite a difficulty one, took me a solid two days work to get everything down. If you're interested, you can find it here: https://ko-fi.com/s/9fe69a4f9a

19.01.2022 Setting a new music challenge for myself - attempting a new RPG style concept album/mini OST, and also attempting to write a piece a day. Here is the overture, trying to set an innocent, yet slightly menacing mood https://youtu.be/ZmMp6SgV7_g #vgm #rpg #originalmusic #composition

19.01.2022 Fundraising LiveStream starting at (roughly) 1pm today. Save the link

19.01.2022 I got to take place in an extraordinary project from my friend Joshua Taipale, to arrange a few pieces for the five year anniversary of his concept album, Looking Glass of the Heart. It has now released, and is available for free below. I am floored to be a part of this project, and surrounded by so many talented composers/performers/arrangers. Also, massive thank you to Claudia Zorbas for assisting last minute with some live violin to bring two of the pieces to life. https://joshuataipale.bandcamp.com//looking-glass-of-the-h

18.01.2022 It's Bandcamp Friday! You know what that means, time to support a struggling artist make his dreams become a reality. All my music is available on Bandcamp http://kyledownes.bandcamp.com/ (follow the link there for The Last of the Great Romantics for EVEN MORE) 50% of all profits to charity (100% of the Bologne piece). Get on it people!

18.01.2022 Recorded a song that reminds me of my childhood, car trips and watching music DVD's with my Dad

18.01.2022 Hi everyone, I'm currently trying to fund a big music project, so I've opened some commissions on Ko-Fi. Follow the link for full info. Want something that doesn't fit the list? Hit my email or message me https://ko-fi.com/kynido/commissions

15.01.2022 I've shut down my Patreon and moved everything over to Ko-Fi. It supports one of payments, subscriptions and has an inbuilt store where I can sell my sheet music and more. Check it out here: http://ko-fi.com/kynido/tiers for sheet music, videos, music, transcriptions, requests and more!

15.01.2022 If you missed my fundraising live stream, where I performed music exclusively from composers of colour, you can find it here. There are some issues early on, th...e first piece gets cut off (I will reupload it soon), but it was a great stream with some great music, and a lot of great causes linked in the description.

15.01.2022 New cover - Levitate by Sleep Token. Full video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/kCixCN5V9cQ

13.01.2022 My favourite thing is combining my two loves of gaming and music. There is so much incredible music in video games, and some of my earliest compositional goals were inspired by the likes of Koji Kondo, Grant Kirkhope, and the man who wrote this piece, Nobuo Uematsu. The Final Fantasy 7 soundtrack is incredible, but I never had a chance to play it until the remake released. Here is an arrangement of a beautiful piece of music that I have done for the HBCM Jazz Ensemble, especially arranged to showcase our clarinetist. https://youtu.be/RXMQePGQiMQ

13.01.2022 5 years ago, I made a promise on YouTube for a video a week for a whole year. Well, it took until now, but I'm (almost) maintaining that. So to celebrate, I recorded another song from the band I made that promise on - Pain of Salvation. This is the hardest song I've ever recorded, but I'm really happy with how it turned out.

11.01.2022 Guess what? Lightbringer is releasing in 1 week! I'm super excited, all your preorders have paid for over half the related costs so far, thank you so much. Preorder now to receive the original track and 1 remix, the other two unlock on release day http://thelastofthegreatromantics.bandcamp.com//lightbring

11.01.2022 As some of you know, I struggle with crippling nerve and muscle pain in my arms. My old piano teacher has written a series of piano music focused on meditation, relaxation and stillness, and I'm slowly learning them to try and help a little with my playing. It's a slow process, but I wanted to share one of the pieces https://youtu.be/Ggz0br3Ua4g

10.01.2022 Redesigned the Abyss Song "office" for teaching. It is so lovely to have such a nice space to work from home in. This is the most relaxed and happy I've felt teaching for a long time.

10.01.2022 Lightbringer releases tomorrow. It's been a long wait but the "light" is at the end of the tunnel. To celebrate, for the next 24 hours I've dropped my discographies to 50% off. Check it out at https://kyledownes.bandcamp.com

10.01.2022 Received my first commission a couple days ago, wanted to share the final product. A piano/lullaby style cover of "Sleepy Puppies" by Rebecca Sugar. Thanks Beke Downes for the super cute art.

09.01.2022 Been really keen for this to come out, really enjoyed being a small contributing some music towards this. You can hear my music at the start, and around the 7:50 min mark. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBbsA76Cn7o&t=700s

09.01.2022 Bandcamp Friday is the day Bandcamp makes sure 100% of all profits go to the artist. It is the absolute best time to support musicians on Bandcamp. I've made a thread detailing everything, check it out

07.01.2022 Sometimes, the most simple progression are the most beautiful, and the most enjoyable to play, improvise and perform. Iron Fist by Coheed and Cambria is one I always enjoy playing. Here's a little snippet. Find the full thing on my YouTube: https://youtu.be/oXDqJzBFio0

06.01.2022 I am currently transferring all my content on to Ko-Fi. I will offer sheet music and merchandise for purchase, as well as my usual commissions and new Monthly Subscription tiers that unlock all sorts of exclusive content. Be one of the first to get in on the ground floor! https://ko-fi.com/kynido

06.01.2022 Covered Breaking Benjamin's Ashes of Eden with Beké Downes today. One of my all time favourite songs, very moving to be able to do this wife the love of my life https://youtu.be/fVVY2lm1Tsk

05.01.2022 Are you a piano teacher or beginning student looking for some fun, rewarding and interesting new repertoire? I present a few pieces here focused on Prelim - Grade 2 level students https://youtube.com/playlist Sheet music available for each piece from multiple sources with multiple, affordable pricings. Please share and spread the music, and help support local, independent composers.

05.01.2022 I hope to catch Elton John live one day, if he ever blazes a trail back to Aus. Also hope to finish my tribute to The Road to El Dorado one day, too. Perhaps these holidays? You can catch the rest here, in the meantime: https://youtu.be/9NGBVf_OjsE

02.01.2022 Got Beké Downes back in front of the mic and camera again for another cover, this time of our favourite Coheed and Cambria song. I'm so lucky to be able to do this with someone I love. I hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed making it https://youtu.be/r7WECmFHNzI

02.01.2022 Looking for music for your project? Video? A lullaby for your kids? An orchestral piece? Then check out my commissions here https://ko-fi.com/kynido/commissions and help support me

01.01.2022 From approx 8pm tonight to 8pm tomorrow our time (June 5 EDT) BandCamp will be waving their revenue share, which means artists will receive 100% profit (minus a...bout a 1.5% PayPal fee) from sales. This coincides with my fundraiser live stream, and as such, during that period, I will be donating 80% of all sales profits towards the #blacklivesmatter movement worldwide. Depending how much money is raised, I will split it across as many organisations as possible. Please tune in to the stream tomorrow, and if you want to support me and my music, while also supporting those in need, then that is the best time to do it. Finalising live stream details today, watch this space See more
