I coded a sequencer to stave off covid boredom, and then made an album with it: https://theronhumiston.bandcamp.com/album/heartbeating-the-e... Largely inspired by 60s/70s minimalism, played on synths, dulcimer, guitar, sampler, drum machine, etc.

professionally speaking, this is some good shit

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 o…

Reminds me of some of the older Grafton Primary stuff. Nice work.

Cool stuff :) Been listening to a lot of synthwave recently, and love how you’ve worked the metal guitars into this

Check out Perturbator - Dangerous Days. Synthwave used to be very heavily influenced by metal, both aesthetically and musically, but a lot of that has been lost as the 'chill youtube mix' side has taken over

Long-time lurker, making electronic, synthesiser instrumental movie-soundtrack-ish music in Finland (though we're both originally from New Zealand).

Had two chart-topping albums on Finnish iTunes, something I investigated that turned out probably more the result of an under-utilised Finnish iTunes than our popularity. But it's still cool to be able to say we had a "#1 album in Finland", and it be technically true...

Our music video ("YouTube" at the above site) was much HN-inspired.

Started creating an E.P during lock-down with a friend on vocals. I play drums/guitar/write etc. It's really rough, but was fun and hoping to do more: https://soundcloud.com/ewanvalenine/unchained-earth Genre: post-metal (I guess?)

This is the only track we finished with vox unfortunately, so far anyway

I hate self promotion, but the heck with it. Demoscene/chiptune musician here. I started making music on the C64 in the 80s (but never released anything back then) and then later on the Amiga in the early 90s.

Besides the occasional C64 SID tune, these days I mostly compose and play just for myself on the piano and learning to properly play the cello. I'm also in love with various rhythm instruments. The drums were my first, real instrument apart from computers. :)

Some "noteworthy" tunes:

Die Wurzel https://soundcloud.com/freqvibez/die-wurzel

PC 4k intro. The player and tune was made directly in x86 assembly.

Rad-X https://soundcloud.com/freqvibez/rad-x

C64 SID tune that tries to be cute.

Ladybug Vision https://soundcloud.com/freqvibez/ladybug-vision

8-channel XM tune, made for a module competition.

Warp-o-Mat https://soundcloud.com/freqvibez/warp-o-mat

A tune programmed in why's Bloopsaphone. I really miss him and his creativity.

Brimborium https://soundcloud.com/freqvibez/brimborium

Something experimental with real instruments and synths.
