I live in a fascist oppressive regime some 5000km west of Europe; you may have heard of it. I make music to pass the time. The equipment I use for the job is named "OpenMPT" and "Audacity".
I was inspired by the electro-industrial works of Keith LeBlanc (1954-2024) and his band Tackhead. I was also inspired by the output and intellectual snobbery of The Art of Noise, for which I will never forgive them, and silently pray each morning that Paul Morley gets lost in a hiking expedition.
Electro-industrial for the most part, though I also dabble in ambient and noise. And IDM, should you accept me as sufficiently intelligent.
Eventually I will have some pages here listing my full discography and where you can listen to each song. Not quite yet, though.
I post my music on Bandcamp.
I also have a separately maintained discography on Youtube. It started out as a backup plan in case Bandcamp abruptly closes down like so many services. Now it's mainly a place to put lower-effort or more esoteric works I don't feel should be on the Bandcamp. I don't mind if you download my music or record it during playback, unless that's illegal, in which case rest assured I am strongly opposed to it on many levels.
(If you don't like Youtube much but want to browse through my discography there, and you're using Mozilla Firefox, I recommend the Unhook extension to remove distracting elements of the Youtube layout.)
You Should Make Music, If You Want To.
If you want the nitty gritty though, here's
When I discovered music, I was excited. This was my calling. Well, one of many callings. I was also going to make the best computer game ever made and draw all the art myself and make all the music myself. Everyone was going to play it until their hands fell off, and they would regard me as an omnipotent Renaissance man. I would accrue limitless fame and fortune.
But then my music career outlived every attempt I made at playing god through liquid-crystal displays (partly because my dreams of becoming a revered one-man hobbyist game developer were about a decade too late and steeped in meritocracy), and progressed from soundtracks to a game that never was to music being made for its own sake. Now there's just music that exists with no signifier that it's "good." I'm still trying to learn to make music as music and not paratext to some hypothetical awesome thing.
As best I can tell, I started making digital music in December 2017. It took me until some time in February 2018 to discover OpenMPT, and I've been using it since.
That one?
Go away.
