I've been playing guitar for nearly a decade, recording music for about five years, and I recently started playing the Chapman Stick, which is a wonderful instrument!

I make alternative rock (mostly with female singers) with the occasional splash of electronic instruments.

Off topic but not really: how y’all feel about piracy and DRM and so on? Here’s mine, it’s no good though, I make them all in one sitting when inspiration hits. During the heyday the pandemic, I was getting really into synths, look mom no computer vibe, but I got depressed ame stopped everything

Discovered so many new sounds and emotion via "alternative means" that I cannot seriously blame anyone for listening for free.

Those days even the rarest of Japanese Funk/Fusion/Prog album is on Youtube: https://youtu.be/KAF5ikUZJxo

I for one think this is great, even if it means living from my music is but a distant dream in the current system of attention.

I do! Originally a rock/metalhead I got into electronic music production almost a year ago. I released my first EP a few months ago with 80s/alternative/rock/cinematic influences:

Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/7JKOAYY3h9S1yDHauZrjZp?si=h-... Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/sebastiansalt Bandcamp: https://sebastiansalt.bandcamp.com (have to submit the full EP yet)

Just today, I submitted my latest single to the stores: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/sebastiansalt/homecoming-2

It's probably not on par with other productions out there, since I produce, mix and master everything myself, but I enjoy the process a lot and keep on making music!

I'd be happy to receive some feedback and maybe one or two new fans ;)

I developed a music theory MIDI generator with all scales, all chords, all keys including the past 100 years of chord progressions used in popular music (ordered by most famous to very dissonant ones). You can find the beta MIDI chord pack here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/9l6guk9jdz5mpe6/MidiTheoryPack_bet...

With these progressions you can easily create a basic harmony for your music and with the scales and chords you can diversify them and make them actually great compositions.

But please don't share this too much yet. I'm still working on that and will release it Open Source very soon after a refactoring of the code. If you are good in music theory. Please send me suggestions here in the comments. I'll keep you posted

You can find some experimental music I've created here: https://soundcloud.com/fluctura-records

And professionally released (Chillout): https://open.spotify.com/track/6MkA3ZsRLTDHzlnEo1Vd1j?si=eaO...

I'm producing a Techno/House album atm. to be released later this year on my label Fluctura Records.

Synthwave with blues and electro inspirations.

Just listened to “Virtual Orchestra” and it has left me wanting to watch or play whatever movie or game it could be on the soundtrack for. Really great atmosphere and production.

Ho that’s sweet. It’s exactly what I wanted to do... an epic soundtrack with analog synth sounds used like strings.

I’m glad you like it ;)

I write the music I remember hearing playing in UT and Quake mods in the 90s. I've been producing and programming for over 15 years, previously electronic, but when the Synthwave hit, I got hooked! My two most recent albums are: https://soundcloud.com/namtao/sets/c0ast and https://soundcloud.com/namtao/sets/namtao-1986 I experimented with programming music in https://soundcloud.com/namtao/sets/supervised-learning whi…

Your AI made music is pretty good as far as AI music goes, it's an interesting approach to not go for "put a neural net on Bach's discography". Maybe using other styles of World Music or evolving from simplicity is the way to go...

Thank you! That's a good plan! I'm starting the follow-up album to that one, imaginatively titled "Unsupervised Learning" with more AI, less me!

Really like Slow Down, great drive, melody and textures

Ho thank! I was very hesitant to publish it because I did it 1 year ago and I found it full of flaws. But some friends of mine tell me to finish and publish it. It’ll be on all streaming plateforms the March, 21 :)
