I studied classical music composition and have still written music while working as a software developer. I'm happy that I (re)found a passion for programming as being a freelance composer wasn't paying quite well :D It has also been a joy to notice how my studies gave really good foundations for becoming a software engineer. Currently I'm writing a commission piece for symphony orchestra. Quite excited but super har…

The organ piece is really good (Mäntä), sounds like it was live recorded?

Very nice!

I've always been interested in creating random soundscapes. For this purpose I built a SuperCollider[0] application[1] that does the job - at least for my tastes!

Some tracks are available on Soundcloud[2]

I drum in a death metal band called Glorious Depravity. Funny enough, all of our members are software developers, though that isn’t the theme of the band or anything. https://gloriousdepravity.bandcamp.com I’m also the vocalist and guitarist for a black metal band called Woe. I started it as a solo project over a decade ago and things sort of got out of hand. https://woeunholy.bandcamp.com Both are also on Spotify, i…

Nice old school Brutal Death vibes here, good mixing, good job!

My brother has been working on a Black album for the better part of 10 years, these things are cathedrals XD

I've been doing mainly improvised (experimental) music for the past 20 years. My instrument / sound source are the magnetic fields emitted by hard drives (hdd), signal generators and for the last year the cheapest synths you can find. I've always been very bad at documenting what I do, so there is not much to look at or listen to. also, I have always thought of my music to be for live audiences and so there are only a few releases I did over the years.

here's my ancient website hosted by klingt.org - a platform for musicians of the experimental / jazz / new music genre originally from vienna, now international: https://rossi.klingt.org it has a jukebox that lets you listen to hours of copyleft material by the platforms users: https://jokebux.klingt.org/

and my long time trio "das fax mattinger" has a website and a short (~17min.) video of a gig we did last year. don't skip through, let it unfold. no hdds have been harmed this time. https://dasfaxmattinger.klingt.org/ https://youtu.be/qZHTaHLQfFk

and a little (1min.) teaser I did (sry its instagram): https://www.instagram.com/p/CEQ1EbrhipT

I make some tracks with my wife, a strange admixture of Greek, Turkish music with electronic vibes.

Here I am playing saz and drew the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3YlBzeXApo

Here we're improvising with synths: https://youtu.be/Wys66VBWbus

I ended up with a pinched nerve a couple of years ago and couldn't walk for a long time--lost the feeling in my leg. Totally sucked. My girlfriend left me at almost my lowest point too, even after casually agreeing to marry six months earlier (not officially though). I was living in NYC and my building porter and I started jamming to cheer me up. He had no musical training but just played from his heart. He also star…

I love the story (hope all is fine now) and the song is great, especially the bass so much in the foreground, gives it a very special vibe.

I'm a classical musician and a singer -- e.g. I'm a second bass in this recording of a lovely piece of Victoria: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Ufqz-19D5k

Can't beat the classics, turned the volume way up for this.

Do you know of good modern pieces in this spirit? (loved Jehan Alain's choir works but not much else)

I’m a lifelong musician who recently started diving into the world of audio production. I like most music genres and try to experiment with producing a little from each.

Here are a few of my recent tracks that I think turned out ok:

- Rush-inspired synthwave: https://soundcloud.com/dmosher/rushing-in

- Lo-fi jazz/hip-hop: https://soundcloud.com/dmosher/the-soggy-sunday-swing

I’ve got some more experimental stuff up on Bandcamp as well: https://davemo.bandcamp.com/
