Welcome to my website. This is the simplistic version with mostly text and header graphics. If you'd rather enter the frameset, click here. This site is mainly my music, and also some stuff about me personally and my favorite gaming hobby: the classics. ![]() If for some reason you are interested in what inspires me, its generally heavier or alternative music as well as old video games and comedy/horror films and tv. All of my favorite things, well most of which, are here My name is Jerry. I go by dybbuk81 on most gaming and old dooming forums and sites. My hobbies include throwing together websites, making a LOT of music in my past years, and playing old classic video games, generally 3D shooters from the beginnings, and throwback boomer shooters of recent years. I also had been graced with the opportunity to do a soundtrack for one of the earliest new boomer shooters by the name of Project Warlock. John Romero, one of the co-creators of doom, copublished our game as well! He normally doesn't do that so obviously there was something special in our team's effort. If you are interested in signing my guestbook, do so here please. It really makes my day sometimes. You can also scribble some nonsense or more coherent meaningful text in my cbox or even send a real old school email. If you are also for some reason interested in my three photo galleries, perhaps the most recent photos of me are also with my wife when we met in 2015. She's also into video games but mostly doing art and watching streaming tv. I also have an obsession or HAD an obsession with collecting old media types, though they're all the mainstream ones like zip disks, cassettes, floppy disks, cd-rs and bdrs, etc. More specifically my favorite discs to collect were old doom level compilation cd-roms. There were quite a bit back in the 90's. My very first music collection starts here, ranging from 2001-2005 in years. I played guitar and often added real synth/keyboard to the mix. The drums were half organic loops and half programmed. I basically chopped up and rearranged loops that were already royalty-free to begin with, making it legal, just lazy. Honestly though I don't know how to play drums, unless I'm doing it on the keyboard like a small few of the tracks. Anyways, here are the six albums that make up The Noise Vaults: Sweet Sombriety, Maladaptive Humanoid, Smashing Through, Phenomaly, A Taste Of Euphoria, and Lost Relics. This is my second set of guitar tracks, that was going to be six more albums. I decided to completely toss one named Makina, which of course means machine in another language, I just forget which one spelled it this way. Next originally came Plugged before I planned the "Blueprint, Prototype, Structure" set that I almost finished but had a change of mind. Its sequel, Refabrications only had 5 tracks at the time of doing this that I wanted to keep, and I then changed everything... Machines and Melodies is now one two-disc album on bandcamp. Since I both wanted it done and didn't want makina or half of plugged, this timespan worked perfect! Right now there's just the one, but I've had several ideas for more I just haven't done them yet. The only existant EP is called stitchedtogether, all one word, and it was a birthday present for my wife in 2023. It featured a poem from Valentine's Day 2022 made into a song, called Sappy Trees. The Absynthium Collective is a long running collection of 20 or so EPs that make up 4 double disc albums (OMNIUM, CONTINUUM I AND II, DELIRIUM, and MOMENTUM) and a single disc album (AETERNUM). There are also two more discs worth of outtakes called Lost In Oblivion I and II. These started in 2005 and ended in 2025. I ended it with the themes of a heaven ep and a hell ep. You'll notice some similarities/opposites in the tracklists. These were "piano roll" synth tracks that I discovered the process for doing in 2005 while in college trying to replicate the sound of Nintendo. Since then it had become my main format for years, even in side comedy projects of 2007-2013. As mentioned in my about the author section, I did the fair majority of the full five hour soundtrack for the game Project Warlock, including all the outtakes. It exists on steam, gog, xbox, playstation, and switch. It is also in physical format for PS4 and Nintendo Switch. It was released October 18, 2018. Here are also my submissions to Project Warlock II. There really is only the one, but I have an Axolotl Music Nintendo Rom that also fits on a floppy disk (41K). The original floppy disk album I made is called Space Donkeys From Hell and features 15 tracks, all totalling under 1.44MB which is the maximum size you can have on a floppy disk. Unfortunately, even with the extremely low bitrates and quality, it's only fifteen minutes long. My inspiration was an article on an underground record label Floppy Kick that only releases their material from hundreds of artists on floppy disk. They used to have a shop full of physical media but are no longer in operation since I have made this of course. As a random side gag to annoy friends and people all across the internet, I created Cherry Rounders just for the hell of it. Honestly it wasn't FOR the internet until I installed Napster in 2000 and it shared every MP3 on my hard drive, unknowing to me that people were so rapidly downloading this material. A friend had called in 2001 letting me know I had a fanclub on yahoo! groups. Since then people have shared this like crazy, and after putting it all on streaming in 2015 I've made around $3,000 total off just the one most popular song. Soon I will have all of my material since 2000 on a flash drive, totalling over 30 eps and albums, for CHEAP. I am using an on-demand service called TrepStar to release armaray cases having flash drives in them. The artwork is by Nate Vaught of Brainvault Illustration. It will work on consoles, car stereos, newer home stereos, and anything that plays MP3s off a flash drive. Most importantly, however, when it comes to all the computers it will play on, the PC version will have software to use that will allow you to choose which track you want from which album, and you will have the artwork and information there, instead of in a huge booklet. This is the Classic DOOM Megasite. I started working on this over a decade ago and it hasn't had much change in recent years. It is available if anyone wants to take over, but eventually I hope to add to it myself hopefully. ![]() I have nothing state of the art or honestly worthwhile yet as I had quit for over 20 years, but here I will have any of my past and future doom creations for the 1993 classic. From here on out, however, I will be focusing on Doom II due to the double amount of enemies and the Super Shotgun. Though I want to have one some day, I don't have any of my own wolfenstein 3D mods listed here. I do have a collection of other people's mods showcased for people who were fans of the original to have some custom fan-created stuff to play. Soon I'll also mess around with Wolf3D-style "FPSMaker" from itch.io and share my creations here too. I also don't have anything for Heretic or Hexen that I have made myself, but I do have plenty of the best to share. There are also various other links of interest for Heretic, Hexen, Hexen II, and Heretic II. As for the classics, I'd say the retro game with almost as many level mods as doom, or at least second place, would bea lucky guess to say Super Mario Bros. Between all the mario games there are so many fan-made Super Mario Bros mods. Commander Keen was no different. Stemming from my single player board games at age 11 I came up with for myself and siblings, comes the same thing with simple gifs. There's also a DIY version when you flip the space between normal and the death "X" square. I also have other games soon to be included here. This is currently under reconstruction though. You can still get to Frustration HTML and PDF though for X-Boards. For the games I helped out with audio for in college, here is a link. There's a blackjack game, a space shooter, and a zelda-style overhead dungeon game. There were also three college videos I somehow managed to get 100% on every one. |
