Went back to a lite theme on my phone.
Initially because one of my apps just isn't well-suited to a dark theme (I imagine the dev(s) are either pretty young, or don't use thr dark theme themselves).
But i found that things are generally just more readable in a light theme, only because there's just more light.
I was constantly having to crank up the brightness to a hundred percent when I was using a dark theme.
Still dark on a couple laptops (#SynthWave, yo!)
I'll probably keep it that way
Okay, I'll tell you, but stop begging - it's embarrassing for both of us and everyone who's watching.
I've obtained a Limited Manufacture Licence for some iconic music tracks to be released as an album of #synthwave and #synthpop cover versions on #vinyl#cassette and #minidisc
Now I just need to find some interested artists to join me in this ridiculous endeavour.
Well produced post-industrial soundscape that goes heavy and dark without sacrificing musicality. The four tracks I sampled offer a musical vision that’s dark, brooding, angry and intriguing. Overall a polished and intriguing take on the #cyberpunk sound.
I spotted @laamaa's post about his new album 'M8 II' on Friday but only just now had a chance to listen -- it's incredible. If you like chiptune or synthwave at ALL, this is a MUST hear (and his other stuff too). The melodies, and the dynamics, the tracks all flow so well. 🎹 🔥
Moody instrumental electronica steeped in interesting timbres is the order of the day. “Monument” open on a buzzy drone like bees and guitar had a baby before blooming into a pleasant mix of slow, muted breaks, moody synth and understated melody. “Differential” features a sinuous synth melody all thru the track. “Around the Next” slips into #synthwave, like John Carpenter tuned to modern sensibilities.
Shameless plug for #BandcampFriday: I released a new album about a month ago, consisting of #chiptune , #synthwave and #demoscene influenced tunes, created with a Dirtywave M8 :)
"Weeklybeats is a 52 week long music project in which artists compose and publicly release 1 song a week for the entire year. Starting January 1st 2024 GMT each participant will have one week to upload one finished composition. Any style of music or selection of instruments are welcomed and encouraged."
Doing #WeeklyBeats for a quarter of a year now. What started as a way to force myself to actually do something with the music gear I have on a regular basis, to try to learn it and get into it has achieved just that: I'm learning by doing, getting faster and more experienced.
This week I made my first track longer than 5 minutes. Is it #synthwave? Not sure. At least it starts like it. 🤷♂️
