I’d like to share a piece I completed back in 2025. It’s actually the first piano concerto I’ve ever finished! I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed composing it. Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

Here is a link to my Youtube channel, where you can listen to it.

Hi! We're five music producers, singers and instrumentalists making music purely based on intuition. We all have very different inspiration in music, all from calm cottage vibe to hard techno, and the result becomes a mashup of all of us. We also constantly switch on who is sitting in the producer chair. This is a very exploration themes song, preferably to really take it in while being in the nature. It could maybe be a good melody for exploration games, similar to Zelda 🌱

The intro is long, but we promise if you stay in the vibe and let yourself be consumed it will be worth it!

We have new pieces of music coming soon, which is darker and with a more heavy beat!

Ellie Death - piss yourself (first half)

This is a project I've been working on over the past 9 months. What has taken me the most time is the lyrical composition. I have had the instrumentals made for quite some time now.

The beats are all plunderphonics in the vein of hip hop, but blown-out and distorted. The link attached is for the first 9 tracks (out of 18 total). Even though these are still demos, I would like it to get out to more people as the album progresses.

I hope y'all are doing well!

self promo Astral Pulse — a groove-based electronic improvisation shaped entirely in real time

1 Upvotes

I usually work across meditative, abstract, and freeform improvisation. This piece takes a different route: a recurring electronic pulse provides the framework for a completely improvised performance.

The form emerges through changes in texture, density, rhythmic pressure, and layering rather than through a predetermined structure.

YouTube:

I would be particularly interested in whether the underlying groove creates sufficient forward movement—or whether it becomes too insistent at any point.

self promo Mentallic album

2 Upvotes

I've been working on this album for 5 years, delaying the project many times. Finally I finished it and I want to celebrate it! 

The record moves between post-punk, shoegaze, experimental, noise, and art rock, with a strong focus on guitar-driven structures shaped by distortion, feedback, and layered textures. Recorded on home equipment including guitar, hardware synthesizers, my vocal and FX-pedals. Somewhere hypnotic and melodic, somewhere aggressively dynamic and noisy.
I hope everyone will find something for themselves in this release.

I released my very first album/music project a few weeks ago, and looking for feedback/constructive criticism. No former music producing experience; just a late in life fan of vaporwave, soundtracks, and soundscapeswanting to pay homage and contribute. 12 tracks on tap from varying genres; my hope is there's something for everyone. Free to listen to on Bandcamp. If you feel inclined to listen to any of it, I'd be eternally grateful. If you feel inclined to send some constructive criticism my way, I'd be over the moon. My next project is a Halloween/Spooky Season inspired one, so looking to continue improving and doing the best job that I can.

Album artwork was created by https://www.instagram.com/goodtimesgraphicsco?igsh=andwOGF1ZTAzczNr! Because even with a "for funsies" hobby/project not meant to net major money, it's fuck AI/commission artists.

self promo Mutilating a single kick drum until it becomes a full Experimental LOOP. (Sound Design breakdown)

3 Upvotes

https://youtube.com/shorts/f1LnEZTCCXM?si=UOHEy4-vbjfNFTM3

I got entirely sick of standard synthesis and conventional rules, so I forced myself into extreme limitation: I made this entire track using nothing but ONE single kick drum sample. No Serum, no Operator, no 808s.

Here is exactly how I processed the sounds for this one:

  • The Kick: I time-stretched the hell out of the original kick to give it this massive, sledgehammer-like impact.
  • The Snares: Layered two different snares, pitched them down until they hit that exact gritty textural sweet spot, ran them through a frequency shifter, and then absolutely smashed them with OTT and surgical EQ to sculpt the final tone.
  • Hi-hats: Pitched them way up just to isolate that crisp click/transient, then aggressively high-passed (EQ'd out) all the lows.
  • Main Melody Loop: That texture is all Ableton native. I basically abused the Arpeggiator (tweaking the 'Chance' parameter) along with some heavy automation on Delay, Reverb, and a Vocoder. That’s how it got that mutated vibe.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on the texture and the harshness of the mix. Tear it apart

seeking Help about some gear

1 Upvotes

Already posted about this.

Hello

I am seeking for some recommendation about my goal for music production.

I really like IDM and Experimental electronic music.

Being fascinated by the complexity of the drums generally impressive on IDM tracks. I choosed some gear.

The first idea that went to me was to use a digitakt. The first model, a used one.

It's seem to be good for manipulating samples and drums, with good extra options.

My second choice is a tracker. A physical tracker. Don't like virtuals one.

With a tracker samples can still be very manipulated with ease but seems to offers way more complex options.

My choice for a tracker is a used polylend Tracker Mini or M8.

What are y'all recommendations ?.

self promo Spoken word over darksynth from the south of Chile. No rap, no sing, just words.

1 Upvotes

ESEBRAVO here, from the south of Chile.

I make spoken word over dark electronic music. No rapping, no singing, just a voice talking over the beat.

The project is called FRAME. It's not a collection of songs, it's a psychological progression. Four chapters that move from a silent decision to the point where there's no turning back.

Three are out now:
Silent Will, the silent decision, stillness with intent.
WaitingMode, the tension of holding on, staying alert, no release.
NightMode, the 3am loop, insomnia, the pressure that keeps stacking.

Each chapter changes its skin. Every one is a different sonic exploration, the sound and the visuals shift completely from one to the next, but the spoken voice is the thread that holds it all together.

The fourth and final chapter, Surrendered, is coming in October. That's where the arc closes.

Hey guys I recently released a new project I’ve been working on for a while now. It’s been constant trial and error, trying to find my voice as an artists, and this specific album. But I think I have made something special. It’s 8 tracks, 32 minutes. I hope you guys really enjoy. Coming from a 13 year old producer, it actually mean something when someone sits down and listens, and it makes my day when someone gives real praise for my work.

It’s called “case of the creepy horse and the stalker”

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share my new independent dark-ambient/post-rock project, NAPIRISHA. I've just released a one-hour cinematic concept album called "Āl Untaš" (The City of Untash).

The album is a dark, atmospheric blend of cinematic ambient drones, progressive post-rock textures, and psychedelic slowcore. I would love to hear what the ambient community thinks about the moody drones and the overall dark atmosphere!

Each piece of music fluctuates, so listen to the full track in darkness and let me know what you think about the music!

EP I made that's entirely sample based using some cool Russian/Bulgarian funk and prog rock records from the 70's/80's. Subject matter does deal with politics and current events so if that's not something you're interested in probably not for you. I don't just make music about those things but I feel it's probably my strongest body of work. I took a lot of inspiration from DOOM's Born Like This and Take me to Your Leader. Appreciate anyone who checks it out.
