==Project List==
===General Translator===
Stoner's primary project, '''General Translator''' consists primarily of modified VGM and other found audio in the "segahaze" style. The project is treated rather enigmatically and anonymously, releases making frequent references to a goddess character "Amorotica" giving the releases a sort of ominous or mythical RPG-esque edge.
