Hello. Welcome to my site! I am Ellie Near.
I am a trans girl. I am a musician, writer, artist, web developer, game developer, engineer and hobbyist of a lot of other things. I love modding games, and I am currently creating a Quake mod, making soundtracks for multiple video games and writing a TTRPG with a friend.
You can see my works and take a look around on this website, although it might be kind of barren as of right now as I am in the process of trying to find some of my works that I have not archived proper.
The end goal of this site is to serve as some sort of repository of any productive work I have done, whether it be music, art, writing, etc. If you have any questions or just want to talk to me, contact me on Discord!

My Music
Ambient Collection
This is a collection of some of my best ambient music.
Awards
Throughout my career, I have been nominated for many awards and I even won some of them. Although I do not like sharing these awards in conversation often because I do not want to be perceived as only a sum of my skills, I think it would be a perfect fit for a personal website such as this. I would like to thank every friend, organization and governmental body for seeing me fit for these awards.

Thank you to my friends at the BKPL for crowning me with the this title. This genuinely means so much to me as a musician.

Overall Game of the Year 2025
After I sabotaged Clair Obscur Expedition 33, Silksong, Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, Hades 2, Death Stranding 2 and Donkey Kong Bananza to use AI generated slop for assets and thus get disqualified, Geoff Keighley hand delivered this prestigious award to me.
