I picked up writing music a few years ago - something I had been longing to do since my early teens, but avoided because I hated the feeling of having no idea what I was doing.

I’ve been working on a track for the past few months. And for once, I’m really happy where it’s heading! Work and ‘rona are cutting into my energy levels hard right now, but I’d love to finish it up someday.

I used to make experimental (approximately trance) EDM[1], and then I guess I got the music equivalent of writer's block. I have no formal music tutoring.

My old indie rock band from philly. We used to play basements, rooftops, everything in between. Lots of stories..

Wow it's great to see so many HNers making music out there, looks like my programming playlist is about to get some much needed fresh content. I've been sitting on a pile of half-finished projects I've been meaning to get around to completing for ages, throwing a few of them out there to hold myself accountable to follow through: https://soundcloud.com/guhcci/sonder https://soundcloud.com/guhcci/sleepwalking/s-dy4AaQ…

Love it! Hope I get to hear it in the club / festival one day!

This is just straight dancing https://soundcloud.com/guhcci/sonder

This one melts :) Love the 80s style with the deep background https://soundcloud.com/guhcci/alight-demo/s-tgQ0GjLwC3Y ^ this one also distantly reminded me Principles of Geometry (Meanstream album), although, I would imagine this may be only me

I do live electronic music on analog synths (kinda dnb / ukg vibe). Check out some hardware jams on my elektron gear mostly here:

This is years old... but this is one of my tracks that I keep comparing anything new to and falling short (and so I haven't released much since then!)

I love your sound, very deep and melodic, almost an 80s feel. Just a Dream is my favorite, your aesthetic goes really well with a singer.

Thanks, your comment means a lot! Guess the contents of my personal playlists are leaking, even as an aughts kid there's something about music from the 80s the evokes a nostalgia for a time I never experienced ahah :)

The Planets is for fans of ambient/electronic post-classical: https://neue.bandcamp.com/album/the-planets Releasing an album was a creative bucket list item for me. I released my first in 2010 as an accompanying soundtrack to an online digital art project. Then another, and another...enjoy.

I am really liking the track "Aftermath" off your latest album. it's really, really, good. Gives me some nice Tron and Blade Runner vibes.

Yes, it's great!
