1 Week away from Restructure

 We are seven days away from the anticipated release of my next album, Restructure!

This album is a great selection of GavOnyx's work from 2018 and 2019. This album marks the point in which GavOnyx begins his journey to becoming a brilliant composer. While his first few albums were mostly getting used to the software and getting the hang of this composing stuff, Restructure features his first real works of art and compositional genius. You'll hear this in pieces like "Ru" and "Cougar Boi." 

Make sure to follow GavOnyx on spotify to hear it when it releases!

Thanks for all your support!

Donation Link is go!

In this day and age no platform allows musicians to thrive. So I have decided to create a way for my those who enjoy what I create to help me out financially. Here's a simple link anyone can visit to give me a boost. 

paypal.me/GavOnyx

Any amount helps. Consider giving what you think the music is worth to you.

 I have opted to go with paypal rather than patreon because paypal is more direct and doesn't take as much as patreon. 

I decided to do this because no platform out there is sufficient. YouTube doesn't give artists money unless they have a certain amount of subscribers and even then the amount is pitiful. Spotify is also a let down in many ways. And don't get me started with soundcloud. And even if I become a hit, the only way I would make any real money is from concerts, but that isn't likely to happen any time soon.

I am going to set up a telegram channel to essentially mirror these posts and also one to hold my youtube videos. 

As always, you can visit my telegram channel t.me/AuxyMusic to get access to mine and MattC's music before it releases on digital platforms like spotify. If you do frequent this channel I highly recommend sharing and donating.

I recently set up another channel, t.me/GavOnyxNexus, as the main way to access all my other channels. This includes channels dedicated to videos, images, and stickers that I create and produce.

Thank you for your support! 

Note: Anyone who donates $25.00 or more will be thanked personally by me and may have their name listed on my various sites (like this one) as an 'Executive Producer' for the album in the works. Just contact me either through a note on paypal or via telegram: t.me/GavOnyx

Note: My next album to be released is the anticipated "Restructure" set to release November 17th. For this album, I will award any and all donors with the title of "Executive Producer."

Again, Thank you.

RESTRUCTURE - the New album is coming soon!

 I've got some new music coming to all your favorite streaming/music services next month!

This album is worth a listen to when it comes out. The last piece in the album –Ru– is certainly the best piece in all my currently released albums.

Second Album Incoming: Moldies! (sep 20)

My second Album, Moldies, is coming to all the places on Sep 20!  It's the "B side" to my first album. In my personal opinion most of the pieces on Moldies aren't as good as Oldies, but if you enjoyed Oldies, Moldies will give you that same vibe.
I have a link to it that works for spotify users,

UPDATE: It's here!

My first Album on Spotify!

Finally after years of having these things lying around I finally got em on spotify. I would recommend listening to a few but bare in mind they are my first ever compositions. At that time I had no (or at least very little) musical training so they pretty much suck.
simply looking up the name "GavOnyx" will get to my page in spotify

Savage Worlds -mechanics

As promised, here are links to another video I made about fundamental mechanics in the Savage Worlds RPG system.

Savage Worlds -creating a character

I enjoy Role Playing Games and systems. I've played DnD, pathfinder, Star frontiers, and the og star wars system. But by far my favorite is Savage Worlds.

It's a terrible name, but a fantastic system. It's generic, so it works with any setting, and the great thing is you can add more rules to make a setting that much better. You wanna have a JoJo campaign? Easy. How bout Star wars? Yep. You want the players to be dragons? Not a problem. The game has a "race creation" section to make your own race archetypes that others can use to guide character creation.
The biggest difference between this system and others is that instead of a d20 system like DnD or a d6 system like the OG star wars, Savage worlds uses every die type except d20. Your character could have a d4 in Agility and a d10 in strength for example. Same deal for weapons. Daggers are d4 (+ the str die), guns are usually 2d6 or 2d8. You get the idea.

Anyways, I really love it. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in RPGs especially if the same is starting to explore more systems.

The only issue with savage worlds has to do with youtube. YouTube tutorials are always over 20 minutes long (an hour or more even) and the people making these videos seem to have no idea how to make even a half decent video. So, I set out to make a video that explains how to create a character in 5 minutes or less. Then I set out to explain various important mechanics with a similar time constraint. Success again!
You can find both on youtube but I'll have both the loink and the actual file for easy access. I'll post the second video in another post.

NOTE: In the video I explain that if you do not have the fighting skill your parry score is 4. That is incorrect!! your parry score is 2 if you lack the fighting skill.

First Albums on fartcloud

In an older post I mentioned that I had 6 albums in the works. That's true, but I haven't technically released any of them on to monetized platforms. In other words I have some of my music on the worst platform of them all, sound cloud.
My first 2 albums are there along with a few other goodies. Sound cloud is the worst because every good feature is behind a pay wall (spotlighting tracks, getting featured, no limit to uploads, etc). Beyond that they don't pay you one cent even if they have ads all over your music. I'm sure they get away with it because of some legal loopholes with the user agreement.
Anyways, I most certainly wont put any more music on that. But of course my early stuff is on there. Like way way early. Most of it is pretty bad –gonna be honest. But hey, if you're interested take a listen.

Music Preview - Cougar Boi

I currently have 6 albums in the works. It sounds like a lot but only 4 are actually complete and it also isn't too much since those albums took 2 years to make. Regardless, you can only access these from my telegram channel at the moment.

Here's a shorter piece I made back in 2019. It's minimalist in style and electronic in genre and only a minute 10 sec in length called "Couger Boi"

*Copyright: GavOnyx 2020, all rights reserved*

I enjoy it quite a bit. The progression of the melody is very interesting. In the first 4 measures in an intro that lays out the chord progression. The second four measures is the interesting part because I create the rest of the song using just the melody created in those 4 measures. We'll call this 4 measure phrase the initial phrase. The next four measures uses the melody from the first measure of the initial phrase. the four measures after that (we're on the 13th measure now) uses the melody line from the second measure of the initial phrase, and so on for the rest of the song.
So while the piece may be short, it remains impressive as I was able to take just one phrase and create an entire piece of music using it. And it is this interesting composition technique that is why I decided to show you this particular piece. Enjoy.
