Wish I had discovered this thread sooner.

That is some cool stuff Quaksna! Reminds me alot of Toccata and Fugue in D Minor, old school Genesis (the prog rock band), and your vocals kinda remind me of the vocalist from the norwegian experimental band Ulver (nice low baritone).  Also dig the story telling aspect

I'll have to post some of my recordings down the road, totally different genre (Blackened Doom Metal/Post Rock), not exactly ready to share yet  ;D

Oh, far, far from that  ;D It's because of the 1:10 part, isn't it? Yeah, that's a figure I picked up from some songs of the period, it's supposed to emulate cello or some other string instrument, with the quickly alternating sounds.

Nevertheless, thanks for your kind words, means a lot. This was quite experimental endeavor, but I grew to really enjoy the wordless storytelling and coming up with segways in between those parts, I started working on more similar stuff immediately.

But you've found yourself at the right place at the right time, for I have just finished the new kvaksulu song. Behold, Takvu torake, the creation of the world . Really enjoyed making this one.

Can't wait to hear your metal, sounds very intriguing  ;).

Hey guys! Just dropping in to say I just released my new track Neon Eve. It's a funky electronic / chiptune / digital fusion track. You can stream it on Spotify, Youtube, or another platform. Hope you enjoy. Happy holidays!

Wow, Really full and professional sounding mix! I'm not really familiar with digital fusion/chiptune, but this is impressive.

Just curious what DAWs are you all using? Is there service/provider you recommend for publishing to spotify, streaming services?

I use FL Studio as my DAW. And for distributing to streaming services, I use Distrokid. It's $20 a year which is pretty good, though if you also want the ability to submit to Spotify editorial playlists it seems you need the $40/year package.

No new songs, but got a new recording of Lámr koqelet. The improvs are worse, my voice is rough due to annual winter dying, but overall it is technically much better played, no major mistakes, it doesn't fall apart at any point. Also tested some new registers.

And as a bonus, a translation of one of my older songs. I apologize for all Afrikaners hospitalized due to my pronunciation, but the rest, I think you could enjoy it. I guess I hadn't my day with the improvs today tho  :P

Seems like I found new motivation to try and complete my unfinished tracks after getting out of hospital. Nothing yet to show, but a better (or hopefully better) version of Strike the Earth! is in the works. Not any changes really, other than some stereo enhancement. I'll probably finish it this week and send it to a friend who promised to mix/master my tracks for free during his spare time, because he likes my music and enjoyed mastering my previous tracks. I'll still pay him something or just offer a crate of beer if he won't accept money. Doesn't feel right to not pay anything to a professional.

So, maybe within a couple of weeks I'll be posting the final track here then. Hopefully.

What better payment is there than beer :D oh yeah spirits

Good luck with the track! I won't have much time working on music now too, so it'll be just organ recordings if anything. Glad to hear there's gonna be something to listen to.

Just listened to this, sounded good! Had a soothing/pleasing sound, well mixed and yet again over all very balanced. Reminded me quite a lot of some old demoscene and chiptune stuff, which is always a good thing in my books. Waiting to hear more from you!

(Also, subbed your Youtube channel.)

Ah thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed the track and thank you for the sub ^^
I was definitely going for a bit of a chiptune vibe, but with a modern production sound as well.
I have another track that is fairly chiptune-esque that is coming out at the end of the month, I will post it here when it's out :)


BTW guys make sure to back up your stuff! I suffered an SSD failure a few days ago and lost over a year of project files / samples / documents / everything! It's terrible, hopefully I'll be able to recover some stuff via data recovery specialists, but it'll cost a lot either way. So make sure to at least have a free google cloud drive or something set up for your important folders. I just got that set up and it's way easier to maintain than I thought, with automatic syncing.
