Heya, I'm ADR3-N, formerly EDM364/Andrea364. I make music for games and movies, voice act, video edit, and am struggling to pull together this website, so I can share with you the tons and tons of sample, instruments, and other projects I make.

Who Am I and Why Do You Care?

Somebody who makes kick-ass instrument and sample projects. Find them on Gumroad

Gonna fill this in later. I still have no idea what I'm doing as far as proper web design and branding. I just like old stuff. Retro swag. Page subject to heavy editing.

Until I get my act together, here's this wiki.

My Philosophy

Nothing too complex. At least, besides the absolute ADHD you've probably picked up on if you look through any of my stuff. When I'm not making something to fix some obscure problem only one or two people have, I'm probably doing random shit for the love of the game.

However, I do have some core principles.

One, no exorbitant price tags. Stuff should be priced what it's worth.

I know from experience the freemium model is prob gonna leave me broke and barefoot, but I'm not doing this shit for money and fame. I do it for the little guy, who the industry is trying to fuck 27 ways to Tuesday before he sees his first penny of return on investment.

I've been there and bought the T-shirt, btw. I literally have no idea how much I've spent on my music production rigs. At least a couple years' poverty wages if I had to guess.

Two, Keep It Simple, Stupid.

Only use the minimum tools and processor power required for the job. Why make a heavy Kontakt instrument, when soundfonts work just fine? If I can't imagine fifteen year old me being able to figure the thing out without instructions, it's a no-go.

Three, if I can't find a solution to the problem, make it myself.

There are so many tools at hand today, I am simply without excuse. Not giving up the fight, until I have my bespoke glitch generators, N64 sample instrument ripping pipeline, and hell, maybe even preset translators.

Lastly, if it's good enough for me to use, it's good enough to post.

I've been doing this stuff for 20 years. Long enough to see free stuff go from don't-look-a-gift-horse-in-the-mouth to "this button is ugly; therefore I hate it."

Posting my work has always been kind of intimidating. But if a project of mine is cool enough that I actually want to use it, I'll share.

Basically, my stuff might not be new, flashy, or pretty, but it's mine.

Beyond that, I'm obsessed with all things retro.

Preserving relics of the past is more than a pastime. It's a hedge against the black hole marching that is internet impermanence.

But most importantly, I just like to keep it weird.

You'll probably see a lot of retro themed, remastered, or bespoke instruments in my catalog.
