Sasha Vie - "Prelude + Fugue In B-Flat Minor" (Youtube)

Sasha Vie - "Prelude + Fugue In B-Flat Minor" (Spotify Apple etc)

This is my attempt at a Baroque style piece on an organ

Classical purists have mentioned that they don't hear a Fugue in there, but it's my take on what I learned (or remembered at least) as a child having to play The Well Tempered Clavier on the piano

I composed and recorded this on a MIDI keyboard using an Oberheim sample library clone (from Brainworx) that I tweaked

The video I rotoscoped footage of rolling sunflowers on a blue sky in honor of Ukraine (my ancestry is Taiwan so my family and extended family have been watching what's been going on there... very very closely)

Enjoy!

Nice! I use organ settings a lot in my own compositions, and really enjoy listening live to big pipe organs.

The Ukraine-themed video was cool, too.

Platinum Moon is an up and coming young rock band with a pretty unique style and fresh ideas that remind me of the greats of blues and classic rock but every song oozes with originality. Every member is skilled with their instrument but the cherry on top is the female lead singer who has such raw power in her voice that it just gets to you.

They deserve all the popularity that they can get.

Black Hole Zion - Running on Empty

A synth wave-ish cover of the Jackson Browne song. Self promotion. I played this. Long story, but the whole thing started when a podcast about the Shadowrun games asked me to do a version for their opening. I was surprised that it turned out, and decided to release it.

I just released the second single from my upcoming sophomore album. It’s called The Reach, based on a Stephen King short story. Kind of a dreamy, mellow, harmony-laden indie folk song. You can listen here:

Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/4oTUmQPrj2mhWec6yOoQeK?si=nEvmcO_NT7eoCa1Y_sSIbg

YouTube: https://youtu.be/onrg9YeM8tY

Really proud of this one, especially the lyrics and the production. I started using some real tools to go with Reaper, like Ozone 10 and other Izotope/Output/Arturia plug-ins. All writing, recording, and producing is done by me and me only. I’d appreciate a listen :)

CLOUDWARMER - Rellik

Jazzy downtempo grooves of warm overcast trip hop weaving through smooth beats of intricate chillout

modest by default - SOK GÜCÜ (​这​脾​气​一​直​是​后​果​)

Foggy vapor lounge beats streaked with ribbons of rippled neon drifting through an atmospheric downtempo chill

BZDET - KRYZYS

Dark gothy post punk smothered in lofi like a grungy cemetery psych skulking through smoggy no wave

 

These and other albums are posted with embedded players on my wordpress. There’s also previous week's recommendations and a lot more music to discover. You can also check out my twitter where I post all the good songs that I discover daily.

Very proud of a new album me and my friend made. He is the main songwriter/guitarist and I played drums and produced. Progressive rock along the lines of King Crimson/Floyd/Tool etc.

He made this video for the first track with AI images. We will be releasing the whole album later this year.

Edit: song is called Foundation by RJ Troika

Rhythmagination - "Landscape"

If you enjoy modern electronic music and have never heard the eclectic, genre-bending music of Rhythmagination, here's one of the more chill tunes from the 3rd album.

There's also a playlist available of the chill tunes from all 4 albums.

If it's higher energy you seek, check out the rest of the albums for more. And the videos are pretty cool, too.

Thanks for the input!

I've never heard of WZRD before, so thanks for that, too. I've been making my vids the old-fashioned way, with clips in Vegas Movie Studio, but I'll definitely be looking at AI for my next project.

Whoa if you rendered that yourself I def give you some major props, it looks great. Yea WZRD is awesome, it’s kind of pricey but it can render a video in like 10mins vs hours of manual work

MarcMaynon t1_jdxvpsu wrote

Hey there,

My name is Marc Maynon. I've been directing my own music videos for the past 2 years or so and I've just released my third self-directed music video. It's for my song "Something to Live For."

This one stars my older brother Josh who plays drums on the track. Here's a link so you can check it out.

Marc Maynon - "Something to Live For"

I filmed the music video primarily with my GoPro Hero4, but on occasion, I used the Canon Rebel Ti.5 for certain shots. I edited it in Premiere. I did some VFX in After Effects and finally graded it on DaVinci Resolve. I storyboarded the music video before going into filming and because of that, I feel like the photography came out pretty nice. I'm really proud of it and I feel like this is the best thing I've created to date.

CAFUNÉ - perspective (mv)

I found this in my yt recommended home page & it’s this female/male duo with the lead female singing vocals. I guess I would call this genre dreampop/indie/experimental type music; so if you like stuff like that, check this out! But the thumbnail interested me because the video is this “going through the motion” type vibe and it’s so continuous and simplistic yet it’s unique and they have a intriguing unique sound too. And the female’s voice is my favorite that I could listen too all day ~

Well Grounded - "Sailing On"

My first single released under this artist name and the first song I've released in 10 years. I originally wrote and performed this song ~20 years ago. I did all the arrangement, recording, vocals, mixing, and mastering. It's really the first song that I've recorded that I'm happy with and proud of. I hope some of you find meaning it. Thanks for listening!

N.B. It's accidentally marked as 'Explicit' (my bad), but there aren't any curses in it (unless you're into that, in which case I invite you to add your own as you sing along).

1-800

‘1-800’ is a groovy, spacey, beat-like album I put out in 2022. To me, it feels like each of the 7 songs in this album belong in the same group, while at the same time being notably unique.

If you listen to any one of them, ‘Dazie’ and ‘Het Gigh’ are my personal favorites.

Thanks for your time!

TheSpacedGhost - I Lost Myself https://youtu.be/fur6pUthsWU

This is one of my newest singles. I enjoy tastefully infusing sounds, using profound lyrics that have deep meaning while still following a tantalizing melody. I’m a multimedia and multi genre artist with music being just one aspect. I have EDM music, rap/hip hop, instrumentals, etc.

I’m gonna post this here even though I think it’s kind of dumb.. there’s no interactions on these posts except from other artists posting. Literally no one has any upvotes. I’ll at least try to listen to a lot of posters stuff and throw out some upvotes to make this less of a wasteland.

Maybe y’all(mods) should go through these lists once a month and post the best ones or most upvoted ones to the main sub, and that would boost engagement and add a little value to this other than it being a redirected waste bin to keep clutter off the main sub

So every week on my YouTube channel I post covers and sometimes originals. I like to do covers that are unlike the original song. So far I've done Deftones, George Michael, Morgan Wallen, Taylor Swift and many more. I even plan on doing Metallica. In any case, here is the newest. It's an EDM version of a song by Talk Talk called Living in Another World. Hope you enjoy it!

Emerson Brophy - "Day Job" (YouTube, 2023)

I worked for years in a tech consulting role for a massive corporation before I decided to pursue music more. Everyone always says to write what you know, but I was torn between thinking this topic was too bland for a pop song, while also knowing how many people could connect with the specific feeling of being trapped in an office job. I'd love to know what you think.

Aristiden t1_jedof3y wrote

Some feedback:
The verse is much stronger than the chorus and quite a jarring shift. Mostly that's because the verse has a distinct style and the chorus seems to be aiming for a much poppier tone. I would recommend you stick to your stronger songwriting instincts rather than trying to find something pop. It would take a lot of luck for pop audiences to find you anyway, so why not try to lean into a more attainable and more artistic niche?
Also, be careful with how you assign syllables to melody lines. In the pursuit of making your lyrics accessible and poppy, you've used cliched phrases which might have the right number of syllables, but their accented syllables don't fit the beat of your song.

Produced by the band, “Marble Requiem” was recorded at home in Tupelo and features Matt Pugh and Preston George, Modern Bodies’ core duo, performing with Jesse Sutton (bass, backing vocals), and Trey McCarter (drums, backing vocals), the band’s live lineup. The album's artwork was painted by Mara Califf. Inspired by space-rock and 70’s psychedelia, Marble Requiem takes Modern Bodies into a two part psychedelic odyssey, harkening Pink Floyd and Todd Rundgren.
