Well “internet radio” I guess, via Pandora and Spotify
2026-03-12T06:20:07.571Z
“Kodoku wo Kanji shinai de” is like an alt-electronic song so honestly they have taste
2026-03-14T23:31:37.889Z
Omg we are so back
2026-03-14T23:36:28.831Z

I really wanted to write yesterday oml

So anyways, 10 years of my flop project Life, right? Soundtrack got a nice little remaster to celebrate since it is the only thing that came out of the project
March 20th however, a standalone release consisting of songs composed by Isaac will be released
While I was able to get rid of the grain and amp the loudness a bit on the original soundtrack release, I couldn’t make extreme changes without digital stores throwing a fit so hence this separate release
2026-03-14T23:52:26.362Z
Due to limitations of our distribution services, both Isaac and I are credited as performing artists on the original soundtrack album, which is totally unfair to him as I didn’t make the tracks he provided. So this standalone release at least has him credited as the only primary artist.
2026-03-15T02:52:27.742Z
Sorry there was an outage so I didn’t get to finish what I was gonna say 🗿
But yeah, standalone release of remastered Issac-composed tracks, out march 20.
This release will also be on Apple Music. For some reason, the life soundtrack got deleted off of Apple Music some years ago
So I’m hoping this one will stay up at least
2026-03-15T02:55:11.998Z
I think it might be a sample used that is being flagged or something weird with the ISRC’s
2026-03-15T02:56:56.812Z
Or maybe it’s one of my tracks being flagged, I’m not sure I don’t get a provided reason lol
2026-03-15T02:58:09.725Z
Anywho, when the release is out, you can listen here https://found.ee/JM3Music-SFTLS_IS

Hi, got an unfortunate update on the Life soundtrack remaster https://stibarc.com/post.html?id=4072
2026-03-17T16:57:55.909Z
Even way back in 2017, the Life soundtrack relied heavily on GarageBand samples/loops. Unfortunately, someone recently put a contentID on a song of theirs using one of the same exact samples used for the Life recordings
2026-03-17T16:59:22.212Z
A bit upsetting, I am hoping it gets sorted out soon
2026-03-17T17:01:21.772Z
While I understand wanting to make sure you get every bit of money possible for a recording, I find it a bit unfair to put such a thing on a recording that doesn’t make the sample sound “unique”.
2026-03-17T17:08:39.222Z
For my “vast” catalog dating back to 2017, I haven’t bothered to put a contentID on my recordings. Why? Simply because of their heavy reliance on royalty free samples, especially my more recent releases. While I may opt to up or lower the pitch on some samples or add in some additional effects to it, I honestly haven’t done much of anything to make it unique.
2026-03-17T17:21:28.327Z
If your release is mostly original stems and a small piece of samples, I say go and contentID it! But if your recording is just unedited royalty free samples (like my shit for example), I don’t think it’s fair to put a contentID on it.
2026-03-17T17:26:10.488Z
Thats just my little take on it, as someone who uses hella royalty free samples
2026-03-20T04:15:20.936Z
remastered tracks by isaac from the life soundtrack out now on Spotify and Tidal! https://open.spotify.com/album/3ZSlqcSMpsTAd2rIWkGoyP
2026-03-20T04:16:36.922Z

CD soon!
2026-03-30T18:55:45.063Z
Want a CD of LIFE? read here: https://stibarc.com/post.html?id=4080
2026-03-30T18:56:45.666Z
It’s cost friendly too (free), since manufacturing costs are low. But with that comes at a cost of the CD being kinda basic lol
Honestly not a fan of the black jewel case used for the CDs, I wish the service I use to make the CDs used all clear jewel cases
2026-03-30T18:58:38.430Z
But I think spending a lot of money on professionally pressed discs for my releases is a bit silly, so they’re just burnt discs lmao
One of these days, I’ll get a photo printer to make these myself…I think it would be fun and then I could also pack in actual liner notes instead of just one insert
2026-03-30T19:03:07.489Z
This is like the third physical release from STiBaRC. I did originally plan on a physical release of “DANCE DAMN IT / ANOTHER DAY” but decided against it lol
But yea, life cd, woo
2026-03-30T23:21:33.717Z
I bought new earrings, and ouch, didn’t realize my piercings were so closed up…
2026-03-30T23:23:08.244Z
I’ve had terrible luck of my earrings falling out so I’ve stopped wearing the only pair I had (my expensive ones), but I put off buying cheaper ones for awhile…guess I should’ve wore the expensive ones when I was off work to keep my piercings open
😍 but I got the new ones in, just a bit of pain is all
2026-03-31T04:33:17.137Z

dear Disney and UMG, plz make this song available in the states ty
I find it interesting they used the English version of this song for Japanese promotion of the film
2026-03-31T04:35:07.967Z
But “Story” has always been one of Japan’s iconic hits from the 2000s and still remains a popular karaoke favorite. Though in my honest opinion, she has better songs in her catalog
2026-04-02T05:20:03.913Z
guys how did i of all ppl discover a webkit bug
sad day for the three iOS users of STiBaRC fr
2026-04-03T00:57:44.166Z

I love how this is all J-Pop, except for the one Brandy song
2026-04-03T00:59:55.885Z
Love Yorushika’s new album, “moonbath” and “the flowers are also noisy” are my favorites from the album
2026-04-03T01:00:57.444Z
Miliyah Kato’s new album is very underrated tbh, has a few good songs. Unfortunately it didn’t even enter Japanese charts 😭
And I’ve had a recent dive into 2000s early 2010s anime theme songs, hence the appearance of “Crossing Road” and “Haruka Kanata”
2026-04-03T01:03:27.495Z
“Kizuna no Kiseki” is also an anime song 🗿 pretty recent compared to “Crossing Road” and “Haruka Kanata”
2026-04-03T01:05:01.239Z

Yet Ai is my top artist yet again for this month despite only one of her songs entering my “top 10”, wack fr
