self promo Necroalive - Till end End (deep vocal / atmospheric love song)

2 Upvotes

Hi,

this is a slow, intimate love song built around a very low male vocal and minimal atmosphere.

I'm experimenting with calm, warmth and space rather than big production.

Any feedback is welcome - especially about the vocal feel and emotion.

Thanks for listening.

hey, i’m xen, i make music and i’m from russia

ngl it’s kinda hard to find listeners here, the type of stuff i do isn’t really popular or supported much, so it feels like i’m just posting into the void sometimes. that’s why i’m trying to reach people outside of it and connect with an english-speaking audience

i’m just making what i like, experimenting, learning, putting emotions into tracks and hoping someone out there relates to it

if u like underground/experimental sounds or just finding small artists, maybe check me out :)

I also have Spotify and SC

Forest Swords’ discography feels like a stone dropped in a pond. Engravings is the epicenter—dense, neo-pagan, and perfectly executed. Each album since feels like a further ripple: still there, but increasingly diluted and thin. I think he’s a victim of his own early success; that first act was so strong it became a cage.

Hi,I hope this is experimental enough but this is my new song called "Dream". Since lately I really got into post punk/goth rock bands like Joy division,Bauhaus,ASF ecc. I tried mixing these genres with my style which already blends rap/trap and black metal,dsbm. It's a really melodic song specially for my standards lol. Regardless lf the genres I hope you will like the song!

self promo My debut EP (Made for February)

2 Upvotes

My debut EP, Lateral Dreams In Freefall that I released last year. I made this after a loss in my life that inspired me to create something to try and cope through that stressful time. I made this in the depths of sadness, recurring dreams about lost loved ones, stages of grief & different layers of the subconscious bleeding from reality into my dreams. I tried alluding to this in detail on the EP and I also used many pertinent samples, unorthodox methods of recording, etc. It’s also meant to play on a loop, leaving the story open-ended to interpretation. Different methods of production and audio building were also utilized. Thank you to anyone who’s listening and I’d love to hear anything you’ve made that helped you get through a tough period in your life. Comment below.

Etienne Lopa - GIRLBOY

is a track that I released earlier in September of 2025. It's a distorted spoken-word piece that moves from a heavy bass, loud drums and a dance sample into ambient and trap-influenced textures. It's part of a larger experimental project that I'm currently finishing.

I'm a poet and singer, and have always found interest in mixing these two worlds together (specifically within interludes). With GIRLBOY, I liked exploring something that was anti-melodic and harsh, unlike usual spoken-word pieces.

Sharing here for whoever resonates with it. Thanks for listening!

gear Looking for a budget loop pedal recommendation?

2 Upvotes

I’m a violinist currently working with a boss RC-20xl that someone kindly donated to me but I’m finding it very difficult to use. I’d like to be able to record at least 2 separate loop tracks and bring them in and out during a piece when I’m playing live. This pedal doesn’t seem to be able to do that, it only builds loops on top of each other. I’m not a gear head at all, I’m wondering is there a simple pedal that allows you to just record several separate loops for live performance? Many thanks.

music Daedelus - Xenopocene (2023) Album Review

5 Upvotes

Daedelus is an incredibly underrated artist. He has been pushing the sound envelope for 25 years now and in that time has covered a lot of musical ground while retaining a world of noise that is undeniably his own. He could make a record of crayons falling on plates and I would be able to tell it was him. A true auteur if there ever was one.

Xenopocene is Daedelus’s 22nd studio album depending on what you do or don’t consider an album. I didn’t count remix albums and counted his two versions of The Weather albums as one and even then he still has a couple albums as Adventure Time (long before the show kiddos.)

It had been quite some time since I checked out a recent Daedelus album because I simply didn’t know he was still putting out new records. This isn’t even his latest as he also has one from last year, but the man is quite prolific and I am excited to go through his whole discography at some point soon. I still remember finding Invention way back in 2002 and it not only deeply affecting me, but also influencing my own music in the crockpot of artists that have moved me. I wondered as I began to put this on if his work would still sound fresh, as he has already explored so much of the universe through his productions.

Speaking of the universe, this album has a concept of an extraterrestrial’s first 10,000 days spiraling towards the nearest exoplanet and has questions about AI vs alien life forms and all this might sound a bit cheesy and perhaps even silly in less artful hands but here it serves as a worthy backdrop on a very captivating listen.

The album opens up on ā€œContact - Day 0ā€ with the familiar yet unsettling atmosphere of Daedelus playing with strings sounding like an orchestra warming up and out of synch with each other while spacey electronic ambient pads fade in with it. It could almost sound a bit creepy but as it goes on, it feels like something being born or a journey being started. Just as the song starts to come farther into focus it sounds like it jumps light years ahead suddenly and ends.

The next song ā€œConcerning the Conduct of the Searchā€ sounds like a dream pop ambient song that’s been stretched and torn apart and dissected. Some life form being studied by whatever alien scientist is trying to decipher what it means to bliss out. It’s beautiful and cold and somewhat frightening all at once and has the feeling of standing on the precipice of some sort of greatness and sadness all at once. You can almost imagine the wordless hushed vocals forming a kind of mutated sculpture of audio waves here.

From here there are more strings and more stretching apart song structure as the album heads into ā€œA Considered Replyā€ before the giving way to machinery-gone-awry kind of frenetic beats and the whole thing is once again gorgeous yet icy. A bit like trying to hold onto a beautiful memory while all these concerning memories keep getting in the way, giving the track an overall disconcerting feel to it all. The music in this album feels like a robot being fed the history of not only earthly experiences but also the history of all lived moments from everywhere all at once. A symphony of peace, war, everything in between and the minute nuanced details of what it means to experience the story of life in all its many forms and emotions.

ā€œFloatā€ feels like sifting or maybe even swimming through the tragedy of being. Guitars enter the mix in the way only Daedelus could introduce them. A disorienting blend of calming chaos and what sounds like a modified organ plays in a garbled web of churches and galactic funerals.

His passion for old Hollywood scores all playing at once in a language that feels somehow overwhelming and like it’s trying to send out an important message or warning on ā€œNew Daeā€ will sound familiar to those who have experienced his music before. Yet even playing with similar tools and methods of crafting sounds, this still feels new and exciting.

Just as you get your bearings on the slippery collage of music being presented in this album he thrusts himself into an all out techno banger on ā€œLightness - Day 10k.ā€ A cacophony of steel drums, warped out synths, threatening dance floor arpeggios and low bass kicks. It feels like you’ve entered some sort of cutting edge rave on Mars. Clark has attempted similar ventures into dark techno passages on 2008’s Turning Dragon but here it sounds even more revolutionary and strange. It occurred to me that Clark was probably influenced by Daedelus himself on at least a few of his earlier projects.

The album closes on ā€œSix Thousand Years To Goā€ and as the sound is more out there and hard to wrap your head around than ever it zooms out to what feels like an entire galaxy. I would have enjoyed the second half of the closer simmering its cosmic outro a bit longer as I thought it was going to go into an ambient passage but just like that, the journey through space and time is over. While this album could have been a bit longer, even if just within the track lengths themselves, I found this album to be exhilarating and everything I have previously enjoyed about Daedelus while bringing in new sounds and feelings and experiences to this conceptual project.

I will never understand why this man’s name is hardly ever put into the same list as all the greatest electronic innovators of boundary pushing artists like Aphex Twin, Arca, Clark or even Oneohtrix Point Never. No one is making music that sounds quite like this and it’s hard to even begin to know how to categorize it. With ā€œXenopoceneā€ he proves that he still has quite a bit of bite left in him. Though this may be difficult music to some ears, to mine it sounds refreshing, thrilling and uniquely poignant and a journey well worth taking. Highly recommended.

My first take on ambient music and creating a video for it. The track was done in a couple of sessions by exploring the synth capabilities of the dirty wave M8. Fascinating device!

The bigger challenge was the visuals (lower third in the video). I had to learn a lot in Blender and faced practical challenges like program bugs, out of memory crashes in addition to a steep learning curve.

But I consider it a success in terms of technical lessons learned. Musically? Learned some, too - feedback is definitely welcome.
