it's been a tough month or two of loss and challenges, but as part of pushing past that feeling, I made myself sit down and actually finish a track the other day.
I stuck to my easiest comfort zone, which is generic industrialish rock with some random lyrics forced out using whatever was on my mind or in my eyeline at the time (in this case; politics, crypto markets, and the horrifying realization after shaving for the first time in a decade that I look a bit like a certain politician)
happy 52 y'all! catch you on the flip side.
Rudimentary 4 track sketch. Sort of Johnny Cash meets sludgepunk?
quick little sketch
a quick quasi-ambient joint
forgot to upload Sunday, but i did this over the past weekend.
someone talked me into doing some hip hop beats over the week, it was interesting and fun. I seem to fall into the "dark trap" category most easily,
(ack, had this cued up Sunday and never hit submit)
Back on a sorta synthpop kick. I also finally downloaded Valhalla SuperMassive, wonderful reverb and echo for free!
two layers of crappy finger drumming (one ezdrummer, one ableton stock "blueprint kit" plus a four count shaker loop to tie it together
bass through camelcrusher as always
guitar through guitarrig5 plus ableton stock reverb and delay for the "lead"
i went camping this week :)
here, have a golden apple
¯_(ツ)_/¯
finishing up my little EP sized collection of vaguely "early industrial" homage tracks.
one has a bit of maybe stoner metal in it, and the other was probably influenced by my partner spinning a Cure playlist the other day (the arp at least)
lyrical nod to Murder, inc in "subliminal prototype"
it seems this week's episode of "crimes against beloved musical genres" targets early alt-rock
(my phone's music detection feature agrees, in so much that it basically accused me of plagiarism but hey...)
doubling down on my early 90s industrial vibe experiment. this one is a riff on a Robert Frost piece.
another "twofer". the first one seemed too much like a sonic rut i'm stuck in so i tried something consciously different

Cool indus track. It's good to get some indus music here. A bit of a KMFDM vibe. The drums is really nice - is that a real drum set? It sounds very very natural.
Your voice is good in this, the guitar playing is good. It's a solid song - it means that you have the basics DOWN and that you're comfortable just jamming and creating something.
I like the mixing in this, the voice is well-placed. There's a little peakiness with the cymbals. The section in 2:15 caught my ear (more so than the first time it was played). I think the breaks in the sound really catch me there. Good job finishing it.
Hope things look up for you.
