Year of the Frog is something a little different from me. I consider this an anthology, a collection, or a celebration of my music up to this point in my life. This is a large collection, including recent works and many past unreleased tracks. Some written as part of daily / weekly VGM writing prompts, others as spontaneous 1 hour compositions, and others still as one-off tunes that haven't had a home until now. Included are some FM chiptune-inspired tunes, mellow chillout grooves, high octane arcade style jams, and experiments writing music for what I think might be an RPG that only exists in my head. I wanted to show my versatility with this collection, and also finally get this music out there to the world. As an artist it can sometimes be hard to release things, as it may not be up to some arbitrary standard we set for ourselves. The truth is, we are always improving, learning, and growing every day we engage with our craft. I no longer want the idea that I'll be better tomorrow to stop me from doing something today. At first glance this may seem like a bit of an odd mix, but to me each of these songs tells a small story. I hope others can listen to some of these songs and imagine their own stories to go along with them. Thank you all for listening to my music over the years, I hope to continue writing for years to come. All the best, - Jordancreditsreleased May 19, 2021
