You may be lost, but this behind-the-scenes tape from the filming of this haunted video is not. But beware... this found footage will be quite... mesmerizing. #vgm #funk #fusion #zelda #corpsepaint

“Hey Discocactus, I really liked the post you did the other day, but I really wish there was some sort of way to memorialize the track in a video format!” Thanks, stranger, but I have even better news for you! Here’s a clip from our show earlier this year at Songbyrd Music House in Washington, DC!

Philly! To show that our upcoming show at Underground Arts on November 21st is really happening, here's a real video of Doug reminding you that it's very real! #vgm #Philadelphia #funk #fusion #StageClearIV #Doug

Was the guitar solo last time a bit much? That's ok, we've got a palette cleanser, a smooth and funky bass solo from Sam on our track Rabite Season! From our concert at the Gowanus Dredgers in NYC. #vgm #fusion #funk #bass #basssolosarecoolandfun #bobboyappreciation

Have you been jonesing for more guitar since our last behind the scenes video? Here's a clip of Pete's screamin' solo from our track RAID, performed at Songbyrd Music House in Washington, D.C. earlier this year! #vgm #fusion #guitar #crosscode #kirkhammett

@discocact.us actually had an Expedition 33 double; there was one track last week, but the group also brought in all the emotive feels through this take on Alicia's theme: discocactusmusic.bandcamp.com/track/alicia... #SEGAMixerDrive

Endings can be hard, especially in an improvisational setting. Luckily Math is here to let us know about that One Weird Trick that THEY don't want you to know about! #vgm #fusion #funk #livestream #phoenixwrightaceattorney #bminor #doctorshatehim

How nice it would be to hear our latest tracks from Clair Obscur on all streaming platforms... we're aware it's not up anywhere else yet, and have been working on fixing it. Chris is here to explain where you can find them in the meantime! #vgm #fusion #clairobscurexpedition33 #BandcampFriday

Guitars! They're cool, right? Well here's a bunch of em. Pete Presents: Part One of the Clair Obscur Guitar Explainer series! #vgm #fusion #rock #clairobscurexpedition33 #bald

The process of a Discocactus arrangement is wildly varied between all of us; luckily for you, we love talking about it! Laura talks more about inspiration, structure, and what it was like to work with our collaborators on our newest track, Une Vie a T'aimer!

We heard from some VIP (Very Important Pfans) that there's more interest in some behind-the-scenes footage of our arrangements. Well, to kick that off, we have our arranger Laura and our resident low end expert Sam to talk about the inspiration for Alicia!

"Hate me as much as you want. As long as you're alive to do it." Tomorrow, 8/14 #vgm #rock #fusion #clairobscurexpedition33

Have you heard our version of Alicia from Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 yet? We premiered this new single at VGMCon earlier this year! Here's a clip from that performance, showcasing one of the many things Laura does best. Check out the link in our bio to get it on Bandcamp today!

OUT NOW: our newest single; Alicia from Clair Obscur: Expedition 33! Anyone who was at VGMCon this year heard us premiere this live, and we're so excited to share it with the world now! Check out the link in our bio to find it! Album art by Kristin Naigus @fieldofreeds.bsky.social

We said "coming soon" and we meant it! Our newest single "Alicia" from Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 will be available TOMORROW, August 7th. Check out the link in our bio tomorrow to find it! Album artwork by the amazingly talented Kristin Naigus @fieldofreeds.bsky.social

"I envy them, those who can't see. Those who know not, that they are not." Coming soon...

That's right, a taste of your OWN MEDICINE. Last but certainly not least, Ben shows us that even his own arrangement can twist up his fingers! #vgm #fusion #progrock #skiesofarcadia #piano

Matheus talks about more of the intricacies of playing the violin - and the importance of regular exercise! #vgm #fusion #violin #skiesofarcadia #powersquats

These riffs will put back hairs on your chest! Maybe next time Ben can write some lines that will put hairs on my head instead #vgm #fusion #progrock #guitar #skiesofarcadia #baldge

Drums just have to play 4/4, right? Chris explains how he does, and does not, have to do both and not do both at the same time in Cave Rave! #vgm #fusion #progrock #skiesofarcadia #chris

Next up in our series of Cave Rave Vignettes is Slammin’ Sam Bobinski to talk about the toughest part of the piece for him, playing the biggest instrument* in the band! *so far, we might get a contrabass saxophone at some point #vgm #fusion #bass #skiesofarcadia #sam

EWI is already difficult enough! Why do we do this to ourselves! Laura masterfully explains the intricacies of her instrument and why it's so important to know them for Cave Rave! #vgm #fusion #ewi #skiesofarcadia #laura

Allow us to Rave a bit about Cave Rave! Here's Doug talking about the part of the piece that's most challenging for him. #vgm #fusion #progrock #skiesofarcadia #vibraphone #whatisthataxylophoneorsomething

Sam has an important message to show love to our fans who always request Cave Rave on our streams! :) #vgm #fusion #twitch #skiesofarcadia #fear

Cave Rave is one of our favorite pieces to play: our wonderful keyboardist and arranger Ben Wallace transformed a less-than-a-minute long cave theme from Skies of Arcadia and transformed it into a 9-minute prog rock masterpiece/nightmare. Here's a part of our performance of it at this year's VGMCon!

Even the best of the best flub. Here's a good one from our very own best of the best! (it's ok if everyone knew how much I flubbed I'd be out of a job) #vgm #funk #violin #violince

Uh oh, looks like our dear Sam is taking “down time” a little too seriously! Taken after our last stream show last month by @johnkatamari.bsky.social. How do you think you would relax after a concert? #vgm #funk #fusion #relaxation

Wednesdays hit hard (feat. @drthrex.bsky.social)

During the DK Rap on our last stream show, Ben detailed some notes for us about "style" and "grace". I think we all learned something that day. #videogamemusic #donkeykong #twitch

Another #tbt to @discocact.us' performance at Songbyrd Music House! This is @slamb0b.bsky.social's face-ripping Starcraft arrangement. By the way, we have a Twitch show coming up! Catch us tomorrow at 7pm EDT on our twitch channel, twitch.tv/discocactusmusic to hear us perform tunes like this live.

Definitely lied about not going on stage, sorry. Incredibly humbled to be asked to sing with Disco Cactus on stage at VGM Con in their new Expedition 33 arrangement. Words cannot describe how it felt. #VGMCon #voiceacting #expedition33 #gaming #anime
