If there is a band that absolutely defines the queer goth witch energy, then it's Kælan Mikla. :gothsparkleheart:
I've seen them live in Prague last year but their gig got cut short due to technical issues :<
Buuut they are playing at WGT this month, so I hope to see them again :3
My latest song is about a relationship (friendship/client) I had with a covert narcissist (NPD). It's taken me a long time to forgive myself for falling for her bullshit. This video does a good job explaining how a covert narcissist operates.
In case ya don't understand what #MusicProduction entails, it can be as simple as filling out the instrumentation around a song (#song = melody and lyrics sung together), or as complex as composing whole sections of a song--musical riffs, intros, instrumental bridges, solos, vocal harmonies--as well as general arrangement and artistic direction, such as sound selection. How many X to repeat the chorus? Guitar going to be acoustic, or electric? Solo to be played on trumpet or violin? etc.
The point being that #MusicProduction and what producer an artist works with is super important to the finished product. Whatever sound choices and additional compositional elements get created for a #song will then become intrinsic to that musical work. US copyright hasn't quite caught up to this idea when it comes to the song itself, but the #MusicIndustry pros work around this by negotiating #SongWriting credit for producers. This is why you often see many people credited as #SongWriters.
My apologies for dragging this out. I'm not sure if anyone is interested in the story behind this #song anymore. It does feel good to get it off my chest a bit, at least. I'll stop if no one is interested, tho.
Anyway, #BandcampFriday is almost over and this is the song.
IF you like it and buy it today, #Bandcamp waives their normal 15% cut so all profits go to the artist. THANKS TO ALL WHO SUPPORT ME, I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR YOU. #NewMusic#Music#MusicProduction#Pop
Hey #Bands and #Musicians! Since this coming #BandcampFriday is the last one for a while, I am going to be doing some writeups for it. If you have a #song or two you want me to check out, say some nice things about, and post for all my followers, send me a link. You can just reply to this post for easy reference.
If its a cloudy day for you, and things are not going the best. Then just remember that you are not in this alone. We are all in this day together, And we are all here to work together to help make the day brighter for those who need a hand. If we all work together, the power of what we can accomplish is beyond our imagination! Here is something where artist came together from all around the world to give us this song of hope... https://music.apple.com/us/album/we-are-the-world/41737866?i=41737859. #Music#Song#Hope#Brighter#World#Day#Help
Since I was just given a free copy of their new, upcoming album, it's only fair that I talk about them here on Fedi for the first time 💗
I think I found out about this Norwegian 🇳🇴 project through post-punk.com if I remember correctly, and right off the bat I absolutely fell in love with them. Many of my gothy friends don't share this sentiment, but for me the sound of this release is just right up my alley. The post-punky, reverbed, chorused guitars mixed with the retro-hypnagogic-sounding synths (especially in "New Kind" and "Drives Me On") to me almost feel like a post-punk/vaporwave fusion - and if you know me, then you probably can tell that is just the perfect kind of stuff for my ears.
I love it so much. :gothsparkleheart: 💗
Their music disappeared off streaming recently, but they've mentioned that they plan to make a comeback sometime in the future :)
I like to listen to childhood nostalgia, and 1980s Italo Disco is among that.
There's a 1985 song by Den Harrow called Future Brain, and I always had to grin listening to the naive song text, but with the current AI developments, that song text is starting to get a new, retro-prophetic meaning.
#videogame#song of the day: Rik Schaffer - VT:M - Bloodlines OST - Festival
If I were to pick what is the most comfy video game song for me, this one would be a strong contender.
This track fills me with such insane amounts of nostalgia (despite me playing the game for the first time like, 4 years ago). Whenever I replay the game and reach the Santa Monica Pier location I just end up walking around and listening to it, wondering how dreamy it would be to be a queer, Toreador vampire... :gothsparkleheart: :blobCatComfySoff: 🧛
🎧 "Just Like Heaven" reminds me of one late-#80s#weekend away from #Hollywood in #LagunaBeach. The #song played in the cramped antique shop at Hotel Laguna where I was staying.
Monty, the elder gay proprietor saw I liked the music and offered to lend me his cassette. I popped it into the player in my rental, a red convertible Spider, and drove for a while, along the coast.
