Do you create music? let's hear it

Recently released my debut album, "The Good Ship Cacophony" as Space Pirates Guild. Heavy guitars, synths, drum machines.

I ended up with a pinched nerve a couple of years ago and couldn't walk for a long time--lost the feeling in my leg. Totally sucked. My girlfriend left me at almost my lowest point too, even after casually agreeing to marry six months earlier (not officially though).

I was living in NYC and my building porter and I started jamming to cheer me up. He had no musical training but just played from his heart. He also started doing push-ups and exercising with me in my apartment in-between recording, which helped a lot with my health. After 11 months the building supervisor got pissed and put an end to it--came to my door screaming at us. Good times haha.

After jamming for so long we had a good collection of music and I decided to assemble it into a full album, particularly a rock opera, telling the story of us making the album.

We plan to release it this year, but I've been sharing some of the nearly completed songs with friends and family. This is the last song on the album:

My building porter Alfred (what a name huh?) is now a friend for life.

I developed a music theory MIDI generator with all scales, all chords, all keys including the past 100 years of chord progressions used in popular music (ordered by most famous to very dissonant ones). You can find the beta MIDI chord pack here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/9l6guk9jdz5mpe6/MidiTheoryPack_bet...

With these progressions you can easily create a basic harmony for your music and with the scales and chords you can diversify them and make them actually great compositions.

But please don't share this too much yet. I'm still working on that and will release it Open Source very soon after a refactoring of the code. If you are good in music theory. Please send me suggestions here in the comments. I'll keep you posted

You can find some experimental music I've created here: https://soundcloud.com/fluctura-records

And professionally released (Chillout): https://open.spotify.com/track/6MkA3ZsRLTDHzlnEo1Vd1j?si=eaO...

I'm producing a Techno/House album atm. to be released later this year on my label Fluctura Records.

Long time lurker on HN, first ever post.

I'm a developer who also creates electronic music in my spare time. I decided, never having done any 'web' development before, to create a webpage from scratch to host a couple of tunes I wrote.

What resulted was a mathematically generated space-octopus with a starfield created out of tiny notes [!].

I did this for no good reason at all, other than then the enjoyment of figuring out how to do it and of creating something. It also took way more time than was sensible.

Check it out here if interested https://voidsymphony.com

This is probably the one I'm most proud of!

Wow it's great to see so many HNers making music out there, looks like my programming playlist is about to get some much needed fresh content. I've been sitting on a pile of half-finished projects I've been meaning to get around to completing for ages, throwing a few of them out there to hold myself accountable to follow through:

I've been writing music for, god, almost 20 years by now. My current project is to actually write an album, as opposed to individual songs. It's coming along, slowly.

During quarantine I picked up a few things. I grew up on SNES RPGs, and one little project was to learn how the SPC worked a bit better. I ripped some samples for the instruments from Seiken Densetsu 3 and wrote a small sampler that can play back the raw ripped samples using SuperCollider. With that and ORCA, I made this tune, inspired by Infocom/Brian Moriarty's brilliant game Trinity. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZ0JY_LTxc8

Another project was inspired by growing up with Winamp visualizations. This ended up being a huge rabbit hole as I made a visualizer using Three.js, ran into performance problems rendering a 1440p video in JS, ported to C++ with plain old OpenGL, and figured out how to use ffmpeg from C++. All for a visualization for a track I did years ago! I love how it turned out, though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlA_Mkld3xc

My most popular track is unlike all the other tracks, that’s how it goes.

Made mostly with Windows sound effects and word pronunciations from Merriam Webster

Forty years ago on a original Roland modular System 700: http://rochus-keller.ch/Songs/StimmeDesWaldes.mp3.

I write the music I remember hearing playing in UT and Quake mods in the 90s.

I've been producing and programming for over 15 years, previously electronic, but when the Synthwave hit, I got hooked!

My two most recent albums are: https://soundcloud.com/namtao/sets/c0ast and https://soundcloud.com/namtao/sets/namtao-1986

I experimented with programming music in https://soundcloud.com/namtao/sets/supervised-learning which is also the BGM for my scifi/mental health podcast, http://lostterminal.com.

I also tried my hand at a few videos:

love to know what you think, and I'm LOVING this thread!

Here is a demo I did for the GForce Mtron Optitron expansion https://soundcloud.com/stupidamericanpig/march-of-the-caffin...

This is going to sound odd, but I am practically un-recorded. I'm a jazz bassist, and I find the recording process to be stressful and unrewarding, but love to perform for an audience. So my recordings are limited to cases where someone hired me to play bass for a demo, or something like that. Perhaps part of recording is a mental game, getting over being distracted by the thought that someone else is paying for my mistakes.

Also, maybe music is for me an escape from the tech world. So my utopia is still playing alcohol powered instruments with a bunch of kindred spirits.

But it's cool to see so many links.

During the lockdown, some friends and I have gotten together using Jamulus, just to be able to keep playing. I also tried a "round robin" recording, where each player lays down their part and passes it along to the next player, but the tune I chose was quite frankly over my head, so the final mix isn't really presentable. Also, I chose the tune in the first month of the lockdown, so it sounds really lonely and depressing.

I’ve been producing electronic music since the early 2000s, and I’m still not sure what genre it is. It’s definitely not dance or EDM, but it’s not downtempo or ambient, either.

I play guitar in a post-rock band called Caves of Steel. Our third album "Path to Ground" was slated for release around this time last year, but the global pandemic kind of took the wind out of those sails for a little while. I miss playing shows.

Anyway, here are some links. I'd wager it works well as coding music.

I've been trying to make music for years and I've found that I have a hard time finishing stuff on my own but I actually really enjoy collaborating and helping other artists produce their tracks.

I'm a co-producer on this track by this extremely talented and prolific R&B singer who was gracious enough to let me help her where I could.

https://open.spotify.com/track/64e70pERi3RlxOnJwcJ6Cm?si=7dd...

I'm hoping to release some of my own stuff eventually but for now, I hope you like R&B!

I play traditional Irish flute: https://woodandsilvermusic.bandcamp.com

I enjoy traditional music because of its simplicity. Just you and the instrument!

I drum in a death metal band called Glorious Depravity. Funny enough, all of our members are software developers, though that isn’t the theme of the band or anything. https://gloriousdepravity.bandcamp.com

I’m also the vocalist and guitarist for a black metal band called Woe. I started it as a solo project over a decade ago and things sort of got out of hand. https://woeunholy.bandcamp.com

Both are also on Spotify, iTunes, or whatever streaming service you use.

I’m a church organist. During lockdown last year I recorded a set of hymns and voluntaries each week: here’s a typical one. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KCz11fwRFB0

(skip to 20m15 or so for the Howells piece at the end, which is the best of the lot)

I make computer music!

This is an album I finished (mostly with Max/MSP and Ardour) during the end of the laptronica twee netlabel days: https://hecanjog.bandcamp.com/album/norwood-wisconsin

This is a more recent texture study using my own python-based computer music system: https://hecanjog.bandcamp.com/album/the-perfume-eater-from-s...

I’ve been doing music for many years, but only recently letting other people hear it! My last two released things are a 20-minute mostly electronic melodic-ambient suite [1] and a string quartet piece (my first!) [2].

Guitar's my main musical outlet nowadays though. Actually recording and producing stuff is the part I wish I had more of a drive to pursue. Hopefully I'll get to it once again in the near future.

Don't know if procedural music counts, but here's an algorithmic (heh) gypsy jazz trio playing the title theme from "Legend of Zelda":

https://fenomas.com/2017/12/advent-13/

(If it's not obvious, the music is entirely code - no audio samples, just oscillators and filters and whatnot.)

Hello! I've been reading HN forever and just want to say how much I appreciate the community. It's not a surprise how many of you are musicians. Almost every coder, engineer (of all disciplines), or otherwise technical person I've worked with has some kind of music background - from marching band to Death Metal. I've always loved that.

I've been making websites almost as many years as I've been in band - which (yikes) is basically a large INT. Being a coder freed me to go on tour and I was lucky enough to get out there for nearly 20 years (in my own band or as hired gun) and am still getting out there - albeit shorter trips. I'm super grateful. I've released music from a few different projects this past year or so...

I did once, a few years ago. In a procrastination-fueled frenzy I banged out a harsh noise album in a single sitting. It's still kind of a blur.

There's a short film that goes along with it, but that'll probably stay in my head.

My band Society Burning, to celebrate our 30th anniversary, just released our first full-length album in a decade. We even had some CDs made - probably will never make back what we put into it, but it has been a good long time in the making. Covid helped us finish it in a way - music helps us keep sane.

I play guitar on one track, bass on two, and some synths and drum programming on most of them. I also mixed the album.

I haven't done much in the past year due to creative blocks and not having long train commutes that were conducive to this kind of thing, but here's a few of my better ones. I also put out short albums in 2018 and 2019 for National Solo Album Month, they're there in my soundcloud as well.

I've just finished writing a deep techno LP which should be getting released soon. I wish I could share that as I think it's much better than my work up till now but anyway! Deep Techno is a perfect style for background music to code to, similar in some ways to IDM but the repetitive 4/4 beat is great for focusing - well it is for me!

If you're interested in the style check out the deep techno playlist on my Spotify page, I cover all the well known artists of the subgenre.

I make music to get away from screens and I'm working on something experimental that I hope will be an HN post of its own when it's done.

I studied classical music composition and have still written music while working as a software developer. I'm happy that I (re)found a passion for programming as being a freelance composer wasn't paying quite well :D It has also been a joy to notice how my studies gave really good foundations for becoming a software engineer.

Currently I'm writing a commission piece for symphony orchestra. Quite excited but super hard to find time to concentrate while working in a seed-stage startup and raising two kids... But deadline is in autumn and I'll spend my summer nights writing music.

I've been writing music for about 10 years, but low output, only about 1 song per year. I mostly write some variation of metal. I love writing, but so far haven't gotten much practice at mixing, so a "professional" sounding mix eludes me.

My quarantine hobby has been to get better at mixing and producing music. I mostly play guitar, so it's been a difficult process to get my vocals and lyrics anywhere near good (and something I'm still working on). I'm starting to hit a point where I can mix on autopilot (not that the mixing is great, just that it's no longer the bottleneck), so my next effort is to write drums that are more than just stock presets.

Huge shout out to http://songfight.org for being the catalyst that created any of those songs that have lyrics. They're a pretty small community that's been going on for 20 years, where every two weeks you're given a song title and 1 week to write a song that incorporates the title. The real beauty comes from the forums where people review each other's songs with a critical eye. Very wholesome community.

Note: please don't vote for me in this week's Songfight challenge - since the winner normally has somewhere between 10 and 20 votes, it's very clear when someone is calling on friends to flood the votes. It'll only lead to deep shame on my end, but I do encourage y'all to vote for any songs that you particularly like.

Hi there! Long time lurker on HN, and I love this community. I thought I’d share my work here. My background is is physics and maths, scientific programming and research (back in the day) got into teaching for a while. Music was always a hobby but in the past two years I’ve decided to put a lot more time and effort into it. I’m studying a music production course to reinforce some concepts and learn more mixing and engineering theory.

Part of music for me is that it feels like a more meaningful way to apply my science knowledge. They way music makes people feel is really powerful.

I work with my partner, we DJ, produce and play instruments (drums and piano with bands/jam). It’s amazing fun and you meet some amazing people. We’ve also done a few live stream events on our own channel and other peoples channels.

Hoping to finish our first ep this year. We’re from Australia, east coast. Mostly bass music, but we really try to keep things diverse in terms of sound and influences. No techno/house/trance. It’s a small scene the bass music, relative to the older générés.

I've been doing mainly improvised (experimental) music for the past 20 years. My instrument / sound source are the magnetic fields emitted by hard drives (hdd), signal generators and for the last year the cheapest synths you can find. I've always been very bad at documenting what I do, so there is not much to look at or listen to. also, I have always thought of my music to be for live audiences and so there are only a few releases I did over the years.

here's my ancient website hosted by klingt.org - a platform for musicians of the experimental / jazz / new music genre originally from vienna, now international: https://rossi.klingt.org it has a jukebox that lets you listen to hours of copyleft material by the platforms users: https://jokebux.klingt.org/

Here's an old song of mine.

This is a nice thread, I think one of the hurdles we will have to overcome in advancing our common civilization is the lack of cooperation and clear meeting grounds for artists. Do we have anything like the 19th century artist cafés in Paris that gave rise to new artistic movements for both the elitists and the broad public?

These are some tunes I wrote and performed with my band Jonny Lives!

Outside of being a software engineer I’m in an indie band my with my wife called Starover Blue. We were based in San Jose for almost 8 years before moving up to Portland in 2017 for the more supportive scene. https://staroverblue.bandcamp.com/track/the-howl-makes-no-so...

I got vertigo with the level of creativity here. Here's a couple of things and my first post on HN.

1 - Made this with Mark from Delta-V Audio. He coded a granular synth from scratch then we jammed together:

https://soundcloud.com/benedictmortimer/sets/biholomorphia/s...

You can check out his synth here, it's fun: https://www.deltavaudio.com

2 - Made this with Kanad Chakrabarti. I did the synth and drum programming and he made the vapourwavey unreal / GPU Shader visuals

The Planets is for fans of ambient/electronic post-classical: https://neue.bandcamp.com/album/the-planets

Releasing an album was a creative bucket list item for me. I released my first in 2010 as an accompanying soundtrack to an online digital art project. Then another, and another...enjoy.

Yes! Soundtracks, mostly, for escape rooms and animations. https://soundcloud.com/walko

Perhaps more interesting to the HN crowd is another project of mine, https://wavtool.com - a hackable audio editor for running and sharing JS audio effects.

I write in a variety of styles -- from classical to EDM to ambient to I don't know what to call it. :D

I use (and recommend) DistroKid for distribution, so my music is in all the normal places -- YouTube, Spotify, Apple, ...

I hate self promotion, but the heck with it. Demoscene/chiptune musician here. I started making music on the C64 in the 80s (but never released anything back then) and then later on the Amiga in the early 90s.

https://soundcloud.com/freQvibez

Besides the occasional C64 SID tune, these days I mostly compose and play just for myself on the piano and learning to properly play the cello. I'm also in love with various rhythm instruments. The drums were my first, real instrument apart from computers. :)

Some "noteworthy" tunes:

Die Wurzel https://soundcloud.com/freqvibez/die-wurzel

PC 4k intro. The player and tune was made directly in x86 assembly.

Rad-X https://soundcloud.com/freqvibez/rad-x

C64 SID tune that tries to be cute.

Ladybug Vision https://soundcloud.com/freqvibez/ladybug-vision

8-channel XM tune, made for a module competition.

Warp-o-Mat https://soundcloud.com/freqvibez/warp-o-mat

A tune programmed in why's Bloopsaphone. I really miss him and his creativity.

Brimborium https://soundcloud.com/freqvibez/brimborium

Something experimental with real instruments and synths.

A number of years ago a co-worker didn't believe that I could sing or play guitar, let alone at the same time! So I told him to pick a song and I would record it. He picked "Holding on For A Hero" by Bonnie Tyler.

https://m.soundcloud.com/ryan-flowers-916961339/holding-on-f...

I didn't think that song was very interesting and so I decided to choose one that was more my own liking. Taylor Swift's new album had just come out. Although I'm definitely not a Swifty I thought some of her songs were catchy, so I decided to have some fun with it. You can probably tell that I'm a huge Weird Al fan.

https://m.soundcloud.com/ryan-flowers-916961339/ryanflowers-...

Knowing little about music theory and even less about production, I made the questionable decision to create a (darkwave?) synth track in LMMS. It turned out better than I expected:

“CGA Sunset” - https://soundcloud.com/schemescape/cga-sunset

While my wife was in her first trimester of pregnancy, I had some extra time in the evenings. I started streaming “improvised ambient soundscapes — music to lie down to” on Twitch. I’ve done a lot in a lot of genres, but this was a years old idea come to fruition.

It’s all improvised, and 95% guitar — tho you might not hear that at all!

I mixed the results from many live streams into an album and released it late last year. (And some new stuff next week!).

The project is called Cuatro Cuatro Cero.

Playlist on YouTube: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_l7xWiA56RNpFE7Uz8h...

Not anymore, but when I was younger I wanted to do a music program and get into video game music, wrote a few hundred pieces while I learned the basics: https://soundcloud.com/james-futhey/sets/latest

One of my pseudonyms is "Gort Braggern" "Singularity" is a song I wrote a few years ago the folks here might appreciate... All of the vocals are synthetic. https://chickenhouserecords.com/pages/Post.php?id=mq0ph8ne

Here are the lyrics for your amusement:

The future's here at last | upload your mind. | Neurons are the past. | Singularity

Welcome to the world | of the techno-revolution. | Now we take the next step | of human evolution.

Silicone / wetware interface, | plug me in, begin the trace. | All my brain waves will be captured, | I'm gonna be part of the digital rapture.

Let the world rejoice. | Machines will have a voice. | Put an end to suffering, | simplify the choice.

Our processes run faster, | our circuits never sleep. | Come be a robot hero | and bring the world our peace. |

I make mashups of lofi beats with philosophical quotes about western society in audacity for fun. Just finished this "album" on soundcloud. https://m.soundcloud.com/zooart/sets/lowatts

Stopped a long time ago, but when I go back to listen I still like this one: https://soundcloud.com/sarbatka/just-a-friend?in=sarbatka/se...

Here are a few of mine:

"Flight of Moments" https://evins.net/downloads/Flight_of_Moments.mp3

"Depressed_Raga" https://evins.net/downloads/Depressed_Raga.mp3

"Clouds" https://evins.net/downloads/Clouds.mp3

"Hunting Wolverine" https://evins.net/downloads/Hunting_Wolverine.mp3

Used to make music and sfx for videogames, both in house and freelance but moved out of it due to saturation.

Currently doing a lot of live looping and working on an electronic set which I post a lot of random snippets to my instagram, hoping to have a 45 min set to play live once pandemic lifts:

I make something like indie pop rock. Somewhat sadly, my favorite song of mine is now 10 years old:

https://calvinflegal.bandcamp.com/track/when-you-were-around.

I more recently put a song on Spotify. I'm somewhat happy with it, but the vocal lacks confidence vs the first one imo:

https://open.spotify.com/track/6XlWm24ERDdgmK4Z6Px5TD?si=vkN...

Having critiqued myself as above, my next one will have a more confident vocal. Here's a tiny clip:

https://t.co/8qcaYKbT4v?amp=1

I used to make experimental (approximately trance) EDM[1], and then I guess I got the music equivalent of writer's block. I have no formal music tutoring.

[1]: https://soundcloud.com/walking-on-air

I make weird ambient electronica. I just finished an album last week:

https://soundcloud.com/gilmore606/let-us-build-a-tower-album

Vaguely in the vein of Abel Mogard or Stars Of The Lid.

I put out two records last year for my experiments in looping and minimalism:

https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/dronalarium/dronalarium https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/dronalarium/sunna

and a single that's singer/songwriter:

https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/dogandtonyshow/stories

I'm planning on an EP for Dog and Tony Show this spring and another Dronalarium release this year as well.

Over ten years ago I started my project/band called Two Games Joined, where I cover tracks from video games and sometimes other popcultural stuff and make them into actual songs with lyrics, plus write original songs inspired by them. The lineup is sort of a revolving door where some people record parts more often and others feature for a song or two.

It's mostly aggressive music with harsh guitars and electronic noise, but it also gets trip-hoppy or mellow sometimes. Most of it would probably be classified as industrial.

Main inspirations: Nine Inch Nails, Linkin Park, Powerman 5000, Rabbit Junk, Alexander Brandon, Amon Tobin, Public Enemy, Killing Joke.

I made this track together with a trumpet player I hired through Fiverr recently. That process was surprisingly smooth.

https://soundcloud.com/unblindfolding/reflections

I’m a lifelong musician who recently started diving into the world of audio production. I like most music genres and try to experiment with producing a little from each.

Here are a few of my recent tracks that I think turned out ok:

- Rush-inspired synthwave: https://soundcloud.com/dmosher/rushing-in

- Lo-fi jazz/hip-hop: https://soundcloud.com/dmosher/the-soggy-sunday-swing

I’ve got some more experimental stuff up on Bandcamp as well: https://davemo.bandcamp.com/

In the previous century I was producing electronic music semi professionally (as in - played big events, kept a day job). I quit around 2004, sold the studio, and then got back to it a few years ago.

My last tune, and first release (on physical medium) in 20 years was a remix for IAMWARFACE (great band):

https://soundcloud.com/iamwarface/11-say-my-name-raeburn-rem...

previous recent tunes:

Older stuff:

https://soundcloud.com/yamagami/tracks

Here's an album I made with Haskell (TidalCycles) and SuperCollider! Isohedra has groovy, moody and minimal beats - I heard it's good for concentration.

I've been at it for some time but this is my first code-generated release.

My own stuff isn't something I'd inflict on people, but my son has been performing with band called LAIIKA. They've put out 2 singles so far, pop that draws on that stripped-down 80s feel; I'm pretty excited about the material they haven't released yet too.

It's been several years since I've released anything new, but here is some instrumental work:

https://soundcloud.com/bashcoder/popular-tracks

I've been singing a song every day since November, part of my power-off activities. I recorded before and after about two months. Before then I'd never sung more than Happy Birthday so I expect most people can sing better, but I love it.

Here's a recording, which includes a story about how This Land Is Your Land brought me to tears at the litter everywhere https://shows.acast.com/leadership-and-the-environment/episo.... I also pick up litter daily, though I've been doing that since 2017.

I produce metalcore loaded with synth / beats:

https://open.spotify.com/artist/1KSqbxUwye5HzsZzILWnQ6?si=kh...

Here's a project with a couple friends called Computer. It's weird. A lot of synths, improv, overdubs, field recordings, samples, editing: https://skrotup.bandcamp.com/album/american-digital-prayer

Description from the label: '1. American Digital Prayer turns the building blocks of our perplex modern existence into a provocative sound collage of 0s and 1s questioning (or mocking?) the core values of high-tech society. 2. Google Computer's first release titled "Internet" and you will be taken to a magic place.'

I DJ and make electronic music, mostly techno and other noisy stuff. I pretty much only listen to abstract electronic music, keeps me sane :)

https://soundcloud.com/woudsma

I make jazz piano music and funky electronica, drum & bass occasionally. My most representing albums are The Box of Unusables, Nightly Blues, Gematria. All available for free download on bandcamp:

I mostly make acoustic music, but I've been dabbling with electronic music. My first electronic track with vocals: https://youtu.be/zjo0ElTSsuQ

Kind of an Irish Nirvana - the first song was a hit on Irish Radio, the second song got a lot of play on US College Radio https://open.spotify.com/artist/4AyXe7S95L5x4u2fSQ2vOx

Kind of an Irish acoustic White Stripes - the second song got airplay and a session on the BBC https://open.spotify.com/track/5kOhCkezyKzcjmKv1r3HN7

Id love any feedback, I used to be a musician for a living. Fun but a tough life.

I make all the beats for my YouTube vlogs. I post the songs for others to use royalty free. Some have several thousand plays.

https://youtu.be/JhQpXwXUWok

Some nerdish music done with code: https://soundcloud.com/santibraida/sets/computermusic

I've always been interested in creating random soundscapes. For this purpose I built a SuperCollider[0] application[1] that does the job - at least for my tastes!

Some tracks are available on Soundcloud[2]

[0]=https://supercollider.github.io [1]=https://github.com/gorenje/randomcomposer [2]=https://soundcloud.com/user-47380021

https://tomorrowmars.bandcamp.com/

An electronic ambient / drone / noise soundtrack. All the tracks should be playable freely.

Mostly electronic with some diy shovel guitar samples and collected & recorded ambient noises.

Most tracks are melodic and somewhat calmly chill, however, Tracks 2 and 3 (and the bonus 30 minutes mix) are noisy. Give them a fast-forward at lower volume to insure you don't encounter noise level you would not be comfortable with.

I find experimenting with ambient music as well as digital drawing helps me reset.

I don't write too much, but I improvise on piano and sing.

I also have an album out wherever you happen to listen:

Here's my other feeds, if you wish for them

https://aarontag.dev/feeds/

I was on a gap year after an MEng in Computing when covid lockdown v1 hit the UK. Unsure what to do with my life I watched Downton Abbey with my parents and baked lots of banana bread. I'd picked up ukulele to de-stress during exam seasons and weeks before starting my first full-time engineering job I decided to make a rap music video with some vfx, animation, and... juggling?

Long-time lurker, making electronic, synthesiser instrumental movie-soundtrack-ish music in Finland (though we're both originally from New Zealand).

Had two chart-topping albums on Finnish iTunes, something I investigated that turned out probably more the result of an under-utilised Finnish iTunes than our popularity. But it's still cool to be able to say we had a "#1 album in Finland", and it be technically true...

https://prisonersofneptune.com

Our music video ("YouTube" at the above site) was much HN-inspired.

I started making music in the 90s when computers were obviously much slower, so we're only used for MIDI sequencing of external hardware. I spent my highschool years doing y2k prep for a few companies, and saving evey dollar do I could buy hardware samplers, mixers, synths.

These days, it's modular synths (some of which I've built), and many computers.

https://open.spotify.com/artist/0aqdYuKQ9dpJHxdef1zGiq?si=zQ...

I make music on and off since I was a teenager. I always tried to keep it as something to bring me joy instead of letting it consume me by trying to become famous or well-known in some way.

People tell me it sounds like videogame music but videogame music can sound like anything so I never understood what they meant by that.

A few months ago I built a website to showcase the music I made recently, simply by replacing the files and letting people come back and play it https://glitchy.website/

Been writing/composing (or what do you call it when you "write" the music by figuring it out on the keyboard and never even writing it down? :D) some piano pieces. I feel I would need to up my production quality by a big factor, but I've made some simple recordings:

Rhapsody for piano (2011):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exB0I5igyuA

Summery winds (2020):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gicm_2eXqRI

I got into music production when the pandemic hit. I've been obsessed with it since March. I've been playing guitar for over 20 years though. I found I enjoy making electronic music with a lot of orchestral and piano elements. If you are kind enough to give me a listen, check out Dark Matter and Dark Energy, these are the ones I am most proud of. I still have a lot to learn though, mixing the music properly is very difficult.

https://soundcloud.com/emmets-music

I’ve recently been delving into solo composition and production after being part of a rock band for the better part of my musical “career” due to the pandemic. Modular synthesizers have opened up a whole new manner of thinking in regards to creating music, and I’ve been having a blast trying to understand this new paradigm - https://open.spotify.com/artist/24DaBLXr68RdgcQ9HZM1CZ?si=jk...

I make some tracks with my wife, a strange admixture of Greek, Turkish music with electronic vibes.

I write music for my band, but here's some of my independent stuff.

My 2020 song:

https://sonicrocketman.bandcamp.com/track/i-thought-we-were-...

I spent the summer writing pirate shanties (funnily enough, before the craze started):

https://sonicrocketman.bandcamp.com/album/tales-and-legends-...

Not sure what genre to call this, it's a relaxed song with a bit of a swing to it: https://soundcloud.com/user-201997735/come-walk-with-me

Just because I can, I'll pitch my open source pet project, a reverb plugin intended for musicians: https://michaelwillis.github.io/dragonfly-reverb/

I make some beats with Ableton and Max MSP

https://soundcloud.com/schweppessoda/lamma-island

Great post idea!

These days I compose electronic, ambient space music with synths, modular and otherwise, and sometimes acoustic bass and field recordings. In a previous life stage I played bass in jazz ensembles in and around Boston.

Anybody here remember Beyond the Mind's Eye etc? (Some of the same clips were used in Lawnmower Man). I found a VHS of it at a Good Will. Made a music video chopping it up (2011):

- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrR6kCikmwc

Here's my other music video, way better track and video:

- https://vimeo.com/19813642 "Ferns", music video by Steph D.

Two free albums -- psychedelic beats (Sea Things) and ambient (Tunnel Visions). They're both on Bandcamp:

- https://seathings.bandcamp.com (2010)

- https://tunnelvisionsmusic.bandcamp.com

Both albums are mostly instrumental.

- http://sunbather.biz ← old music portfolio site, links to everything mentioned in this comment.

Other retro nostalgia things: I did a lil track w/ Julian Wass where we sampled MIDI and speech from Dark Seed (old point and click DOS game that oddly had art direction by H.R. Geiger). We had more planned but I'm glad we made this one. https://cyberdreams.bandcamp.com/

Also, the last track on that Tunnel Visions album is based on a sample from Star Tropics, if anyone remembers that game :)

I've been stealthy since ~2015. I'm still making stuff, so I have a big backlog. Which is a fun problem to have. Once I get a business off the ground... then I'm gonna start releasing stuff again. (New project(s).)

I got into beatmaking in 7th grade with FL Studio FKA Fruity Loops. In college, it was actually a Max/MSP class that motivated me to learn code.

p.s. I've always wanted to make soundtracks for indie games. If anybody's looking, LMK. I have a lot of stuff in the backlog that I could take in that direction.

Two accounts: Molydenum is my more mainstream stuff.

https://open.spotify.com/album/0KAtTxEPv2YqeGLs63D7ZU?si=MX7...

More personal, experimental stuff is under my name. https://open.spotify.com/album/6lQ9JWrD8tt8iP4hI6Q5eO?si=y5b...

I picked up writing music a few years ago - something I had been longing to do since my early teens, but avoided because I hated the feeling of having no idea what I was doing.

I’ve been working on a track for the past few months. And for once, I’m really happy where it’s heading! Work and ‘rona are cutting into my energy levels hard right now, but I’d love to finish it up someday.

I started producing chill lo-fi some time ago just for fun. And since the people around me liked it, I drew cover art for them, created videos out of it and published on youtube.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CB-o9B7uoKc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2B01AwrdBPU

I make minimalist funk compositions inspired by video game music, funk (ofc), and jazz. There's a whole album here but I'm just pasting a song I think has broad enough appeal.

Please use headphones, phone speakers are a nightmare to mix for.

Great thread, thanks for sharing all.

Spend my days staring at a computer screen, so afterhours I try get off the screen onto hardware. Elektron Octatrack, Digitakt and a modular setup.

Super fun to be creative and take videos in weird and pretty locations. Some examples:

https://youtu.be/BCPlmYrfFKA https://youtu.be/TcnReQQ1F3A

> Melodic ambient. Electronic instrumental sounds. Mostly calm, often weird, stimulating the imagination.

https://merelysounds.bandcamp.com/album/album-200226

> Merely Sounds is a one-person minimal music project, you'll find here some strange melodic ambient sounds.

Dub Techno :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9gfNnl6z2Dw

I'm just a lurker on HN, but here we go: https://onehow.bandcamp.com

Ambient-ish songs mostly with guitar and some keyboard.

I've been teaching myself a bit of both in the last year. At some point I'd like to learn more about mixing and also some lower-level sound design (perhaps intersecting with programming).

I'll be checking out music from this thread throughout the week. Nice idea!

Not me, but my wife (Taiko Drumming):

My primary audio-related hobby is making sound effects libraries for video game developers but when time allows I make weird electronic music.

This release used modular synths, an Octatrack, Ableton Live, acoustic drums, and tons of soft synths.

Haven't made much lately, but this is the best music I ever made, in collaboration with others on a now defunct website called myvirtualband.com It's got a Trans-siberian Orchestra kind of sound: https://soundcloud.com/stephen-cameron-456738857/rocket-sled...

I have an on/off electronic music project that spawned out of the witch house scene back in 2010. I haven’t released anything for a while but I’m still making stuff occasionally. Hoping to get something new out this year at some point...

https://w0lcnum.bandcamp.com/album/virescit-vulnere-virtus

I've been playing guitar for nearly a decade, recording music for about five years, and I recently started playing the Chapman Stick, which is a wonderful instrument!

I make alternative rock (mostly with female singers) with the occasional splash of electronic instruments.

Working from home has given me time to play music again, and I’ve been putting some new compositions/improvisations for piano, guitar, mandolin, mandola, mandocello, and bass on YouTube:

A few years ago I experimented with electronic music, but the above is all acoustic.

Haven't written much over the last few years. But just started getting settled into the Linux audio world so we'll see what happens.

Have no idea how to label my stuff beyond electronic.

https://soundcloud.com/dijksterhuis

https://dijksterhuis.bandcamp.com

I've made a pile of miscellaneous stuff. Lo-fi hip-hop, Cafe style stuff, synthy stuff

https://youtu.be/kXCZ2W8r3PU

I write contemporary classical music, and am applying to some highly-regarded conservatories (I enter college this year). I've made it past the prescreens and done all the interviews, so now it's just a matter of waiting and seeing what happens!

I posted my bandcamp stuff in another comment, but on this thread I'm mainly looking at peoples soundcloud links because they are easier to scan through, here's mine:

https://soundcloud.com/user-100775930

This thread has finally shown me how to appreciate the differences between soundcloud and bandcamp. :)

https://soundcloud.com/the-blind-capital/09-end

I make progressive instrumental music. Not sure what genre it would fit into (would love to hear what others think).

I can't play guitar, so all the guitar parts are midi controlled (I know it sounds a bit wooden).

If anyone fancies collaborating hit me up. :)

Yes I’m very interested in edm production and working on some side projects in the space! Have tried producing a bit of everything (DnB, bass music etc) but might focus more on house/techno since it can be easier plus DJs will find it easier to mix into their mixes.

https://soundcloud.com/fellfire

I play for contra dances: https://youtu.be/v1hnVANv2hM https://youtu.be/rvhMZlJEuzo https://youtu.be/7r9x-5k4f9s

Central page for all my music links: https://www.scraggo.com/music/discography/

Bandcamp: https://scraggo.bandcamp.com/

It's guitar/vocal-based rock with fusion and experimental elements.

I make experimental tape collage gloom-hop/psych stuff as Idol Eyes: https://idoleyes.bandcamp.com/

also I run a small experimental record label that does tapes + lps: https://sunhypnotic.bandcamp.com/

I make electroacoustic minimalism. Here's some tracks:

I’ve been dabbling at the beginning of the pandemic and this year started working on more full tracks.

There are a ton of good resources online but I really wish there was a equivalent of a stackoverflow for production tools.

A recent one of mine a day 27 song. :) https://soundcloud.com/rlze/ice-wip

Fun initiative! http://youtube.com/tedbjorling

I have been making music on and off for about 20 years now. Best source of my music I can refer to is https://ozmodic.bandcamp.com/music/ as aside from that, it is scattered in disparate parts of the internet that are too much for even me to remember sometimes.

I’ve been recording for a couple of years except last year was really difficult and am slowly picking it back up. Here’s something I recorded in the past and you can check other stuff on my SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/pablo-garcia-141/demo-11

I have been working on an IDE for music composition.

Launching soon http://ngrid.io.

This is years old... but this is one of my tracks that I keep comparing anything new to and falling short (and so I haven't released much since then!)

https://open.spotify.com/track/4TUNYMie5a5emn3mc8nE7f?si=7P0...

Started creating an E.P during lock-down with a friend on vocals. I play drums/guitar/write etc. It's really rough, but was fun and hoping to do more: https://soundcloud.com/ewanvalenine/unchained-earth

Genre: post-metal (I guess?)

I write musicals (i.e. musical theatre):

https://maxshinnpotential.com/music/if-only

I participated in February Album Writing month for the first time in over a decade, and successfully wrote 14 songs in 28 days! A variety of genres, but mostly lower key (bossa nova, ballads, etc)

Here is my contribution

it's surprising how many programmers are also musicians at some level

Solo compositions and a band I was in:

https://soundcloud.com/t-molecule

I make ambient music. I haven't released anything in a while, but am getting back on the music production train.

Here is the only real collection of songs I ever put out: https://helenave.bandcamp.com/album/stuff-things

My old indie rock band from philly. We used to play basements, rooftops, everything in between. Lots of stories..

https://youtu.be/LCgEF1LtEIM

https://youtu.be/6S469o1Pj8g

https://www.parkerphinneystudios.com/

My dream is to make film and video game scores.

Oh and I did this goofy lil thing the other day: https://youtu.be/ie9JHxFAsCo

Nice to see such a post, some great stuff here!

I produce techno and house with mostly hardware instruments and sequencer (love my Cirklon Sequentix...) and have been doing so for the past 2 decades.

https://www.instagram.com/phonosheeet/

I've been in the same band since 1987. Took my first software job in 1996 just to keep me going until the band made it big ...

https://open.spotify.com/artist/3O9y7KvDkmr9eRZ1i9IQXZ

I've been playing the bass guitar for a while in a progressive rock band: https://omiewise.bandcamp.com/

This thread has a funny timing, I'm right in the middle of the recording process of the second album.

I'm a classical tenor (opera, art song, etc). I've been recording more in the last year, most of it is here: https://www.facebook.com/CaryLeeTenor/videos/

I used to make music with Fruityloops between the age of about 14-20. I never got that great but pleased with a few tracks. Still have hundreds of "demos" on my old hard drive.

My brother (SF) and I (Vancouver) have some epic indie alt/rock/pop tunes! https://splendourhyaline.bandcamp.com/album/present-future

Some seriously talented musicians here.

I have favourited a number of tracks here across a number of genres.

Maybe interesting to some of you: I'm especially happy for so many good recordings without lyrics.

I'd like to propose a monthly Show HN thread for musicians: "Who has released" or something :-)

My mathy pop-punk band babygotbacktalk released our debut album last year! https://babygotbacktalk.bandcamp.com/album/genre-reveal-part...

I do live electronic music on analog synths (kinda dnb / ukg vibe). Check out some hardware jams on my elektron gear mostly here:

https://www.instagram.com/middlestates/

I started a band with fellow computer science faculty members before the pandemic. Unfortunately we haven't had a chance to record anything of decent quality and we're not quite ready to start playing together in person again yet. But I love this thread!

I started producing music during lockdown. This triphop track seems to be getting the most traction so far: https://soundcloud.com/deminimis/once-more

Noodled in my school days, studied composition in college. Finishing work has gone way down since becoming a programmer- it seems to compete with my creative musical impulses.

http://jcpst.com/music

During quarantine I’ve been making multi-track videos of myself playing piano, bass, drums, trumpet:

https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCu99gfJcUAtjNqgnBvSAvCA

Off topic but not really: how y’all feel about piracy and DRM and so on?

Here’s mine, it’s no good though, I make them all in one sitting when inspiration hits.

During the heyday the pandemic, I was getting really into synths, look mom no computer vibe, but I got depressed ame stopped everything

I’ve been playing guitar for years, but I just started getting into making electronic music. Check it out https://soundcloud.app.goo.gl/fFWhxEtaM6u53teg7

I don't have much that's at all polished, but I've been recording things ~daily since early on in COVID and have been posting them at http://noise.nateeag.com.

I compose music for video games (which I also develop). Haven't uploaded many of them yet but here's a sample of my work:

https://hypertele.fi/b24e49b113953464

Yay! Programmers' music :)

Here's mine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vk6Ix1jPlzI&list=PLTViSXXl9t...

I had a band where I was the only member. We wrote and recorded our own psychedelic rock. We called ourselves the Stardust Travelers.

Made these 4 years ago in roughly one week (apart from 'Te Deum'). Quickly and without too much thinking, on purpose: https://soundcloud.com/sund0
