i'd love to know what you think.

Pretty damn sweet wall of sound. Keep up the good stuff!

I've been working on quite a few tracks during my SYG absence throughout the last few months:


We'll Always Have Halloween (Rough Demo) - A moody, jangly guitar-based demo with spherical backing synths. I was going for a kind of mid-80s The Cure vibe. Trying to rework the arrangement for a future release.

But In My Dreams ... - An experimental, almost Ambient or Post-Rock track with a backmasked transistor bass sample as its basis as well as tape hiss and a mini-kalimba loop.

Outrun The Night (Demo) - Pretty much baritone-laden Jangle Pop with synth backing. I want to return to this some time in the future.

Anthracite Veneer - A watery Darkwave affair. Looped acoustic guitar with consistent "crashing" industrial percussion. A friend described it as somewhat SWANS-esque. Can't deny some possible subliminal influences. Due to be released as a single soon with one or two B-sides. There's also an earlier demo version with slight alterations in the lyrics.

Lip filler, fake eyelashes, supermarket trolleys abandoned on the estate and finally the phrase "That's not tears running down her face, It's glue".

Earth Cunt

Good stuff Dig the distortion and the overall vibes.



Hey, am I mixing things up or did you reply to one of my posts here at some point? I remember wanting to reply to it, but then I kind of went AWOL from the board for a while and when I returned, I didn't see it anymore.

I think I compared your stuff to Civic Center, or more so the vocalists' project, Understudy, and also suggested a collab. Speaking of which I'm in the midst of writing with a Spain's got talent finalist on some Flamenco-Punk. Lel. #flex

Cool, so I haven't been imagining things

Hey, if the offer is still good and legit, I'd be willing to try. Otherwise: no worries.

I just dropped a new single on Bandcamp.


The main track is sort of Dream Pop/Ethereal Wave inspired. Trying on something different for a change. Still a pretty fucking lo-fi home recording, but I kind of like how it turned out.


Track 2 is a minimalistic synth dirge of sorts. Probably the closest to my usual oeuvre.


Track 3 is a cut from a jam I had with a good friend last September. It's rough, somewhat bluesy and kind of Lou Reed-inspired.


I have a band now too, but we're trying to work things out right now.

We finally got around to having a proper practice room video we can show off. One of our songs, titled Emily slightly Bauhaus-esque with some Cabaret and Jazz-elements. Probably one of our biggest bangers. I'm quite proud of it.

Spent the winter holiday editing, uploading & compiling two volumes of demos. Highly variable sound quality. Can’t post playlist links here for some reason, link to profile in sig. Playlists: Demos volume the third, demos volume the fourth

[Antagon]

Uploaded a track I've been sitting on for two years on Bandcamp. A shot in the dark. But if for some miraculous reason, it does sell, I'll direct the revenue towards future endeavors (such as production, gear, whatnot) with my band Temporäre Objekte.

“Filtered Through The Cathode Groove”

This is a lot to consider, reminds me of lyrics from Beck
At first listen I was thinking Alice Cooper vibes
Towards the end when when the thickness ends and it’s just that keyboard sound, what comes next?

Thanks for taking your time. In essence, it's a song about transitory acquaintances or friends/people who are no longer in your life, but have shaped your journey in some way. The image of anonymous masses on a CCTV screen came to mind and this is somewhat what the lyrics are going with/playing on.


I intentionally inserted that transistor bass arpeggio loop at the end because I thought it could make for a good transition into another song. Hasn't quite materialized though. My ambitions were a bit less tempered two years ago. Working on a shoestring/barely existent budget can be fun, but also comes with a lot of limitations. Now I'm just happy I got to make anything at all. Getting anything done or out there in itself is already quite something. I've learned that over the years.

Just had a record release show yesterday with the all hardware live synthwave duo I've been in for a few years now. It's been fun doing this kind of music; very different than any of the other things I've been involved in.

whoa whoa! i remember this hot pink streak in you from way back, i just didnt know it had developed so much. i do hear düsseldorf in it for sure! and jan hammer. wow! great!

[Clone Redux]

Thanks man! It’s a change of pace for sure. Still doing space rock too, but this has been a fun and fruitful direction thus far. I’m enjoying it! Glad you are too, and hearing the touchstones.
