I was feeling whimsical and in the mood to write a whole wiki page about myself and my music. Then I realized I don't work well with conventional structure; so instead here's a rant about my OS "career" split into "eras" because it sounds cool. Sorry for any mistakes and errors. Sorry if you don't get this.

History

The "No Account" Era (2023 - 2024)

From the late summer of 2023 until march of 2024 I using Online Sequencer mainly to shitpost sequences nobody would care about, and export the "good" sequences I made as MP3s to upload onto YouTube and BandLab. I Have since deleted all of those YouTube and BandLab uploads as they sucked.

The "Misc Uploads" Era (2024-03-19 - 2024-07-23)

After deciding that uploading my sequences directly onto OS was a better choice than what I was doing during the previous months, I got an account and posted a sequence I had prepared the day before titled "account verified!." The next couple months followed with miscellaneous and relatively infrequent uploads such as "lunar eclipse", "annoying human", "I see the crow", and "Adam And Eve."

The First Album Era (2024-07-24 - 2025-02-01)

Following in the footsteps of contemporary OS user and close friend, Pest, I decided that I too wanted to try making albums, and not just misc sequences every now and then. This led to the release of "Breakthrough", "Strange", and "September."

The "176" Era (2025-02-18 - 2025-10-15)

Following the release of "September", I made what I thought was going to be a throwaway sequence titled "A Step In The Right Direction", But four days later I made what I thought was another throwaway sequence titled "Statues Of Dogs And Cautious Travelers", noticing that both of them had the same note count of 176 notes I was all-of-a-sudden determined to, by the end of 2025, have made 176 sequences all with 176 notes. A considerable amount of time, and effort went into the project, so much so that another album was almost impossible to even plan, as I spent all my free time and energy on the 176 challenge. This period also saw a huge leap in genre variety.

Considerable Increase in Amount of Misc Uploads (2025-10-24 - Present)

After the 176 challenge was completed it left a massive impact on me, I couldn't go a day without opening OS, I was a OS addict before and had just gone on what some could see as an eight month long bender. Misc uploads, often very short, were now coming at a rapid speed, and with no limitation on how many notes there could be. Much like the "176" era the variety of music expand, and whilst I plan to keep albums pretty much rock for as long as possible, the "How I Wish It Would Be" playlist is a great way to find my post-176 era misc hip-hop and electronic sequences.

The Second Album Era (2025-12-04 - Present)

On the fourth of December 2025, I uploaded my fourth album "This Is Emo Above My Pay Grade", a more experimental work than my discography up until that point. 'Emo' was followed by "The Orange Album", realeased on the eight of March 2026, which continued the experimental nature of 'Emo'.

Rankings

Albums

1. "This Is Emo Above My Pay Grade" - A short and sweet burst of experimental and indifferent rock songs. Everything I want in an album; not too long, doesn't take itself too seriously, doesn't ever feel too gimmicky, etc. What I would consider my magnum opus.
2. "The Orange Album" - A much longer and more post-rock/noise rock influence album. Built upon often atonal instrumentals, droning guitars, and wild drumming. I Love the epic feel of songs like "Rat King Nü-Hannah", or "Tutrole." I love the noise and distortion of songs like "Untitled Listener Filter", or "To My Democracy?!." But it can get a bit boring if you want something short, and there are moments I could've executed better.
3. "September" - I have to go ill finish this later
