My new track is a dreamy instrumental inspired by the flurry of emotions, limerance, anxiety and wonder of new love. I have been doing some soundtracks lately and this piece was for a dance scene between two Lesbian characters falling for each other, so I tried to evoke the ancient world of Sappho and the mystical beauty of those distant times while centering the character' emotions. Hope you enjoy!
If you like it, I have put a collection of some of my unreleased soundtrack work in the Bandcamp version as bonus tracks! Name your price and pretty sure you can stream them on there too. I hope it can be the soundtrack to some of your moments!
I want to do a short film with soundtrack and (might) voices
I'm planning the script, this thing is going to be big, and it will be more elaborated rather than H’s MV, I will animate it all myself, I'm thinking of uploading it on Halloween, but if it's done before it, maybe not
I wish it could debut on a youtube/ tik tok live, but in both I barely have 10 followers 🌚
I'm listening this song for the 10th time in a row (at least, i'm not counting but it's going on loop for a while now). The video is cool, the song got me vibin'. Top favorite.
Look, when I tell you that I will listen to just about any compilation, that *obviously* includes CDs that have nothing but anime tunes on them too. I mean, duh! So, here we have a collection from the Rhino label that gathered a bunch of songs from titles that I've mostly never heard of, and the large majority of them, as you would probably expect, happen to be super-duper schmaltzy too. And I have nothing against anime, per se, but some of the music that gets made for those shows is, just, extremely cloying to my ears; and I know I'm definitely not alone.
But I guess I'm also a bit surprised here by the total lack of male voices that are on this thing too. Just about every single one of these songs pairs a youthful and cutesy, solo female vocal with a very bad and cheap, keyboard-driven instrumental that sounds like one of those generic audio testing CDs, with some key exceptions being the English-language Gigantor and Speed Racer themes. And maybe this release isn't wholly representative of what anime music truly sounded like by 1998 either, but I was expecting there to be some overly cheesy stuff performed solo by men too!
So, if you used to watch any of the shows or movies from which these songs are derived, then maybe you'll get the same type of nostalgia rush that I get when I hear something like the B-52s performing either theme from Rocko's Modern Life. But as someone who's barely ever partaken in any anime in the first place, nothing on this CD is very enjoyable.
Listen to Good Omens themed music! Queen’s songs were making happy since my childhood long before Good Omens and back when Freddie was still with us in this this world. Sure there are other great tunes, but these guys are deeply rooted in my heart.
Since all I have is Apple Music, I found there brilliant 5-hours playlist that have all in-book and in-series music, and other great songs within Good Omens lore. Go on and enjoy it with me🤍
(Just a chill little instrumental I made last year for a lesbian dance scene in a really rad play called Nuit. The past few months have been a blur of post COVID, muscle rehab, and family therapy and maybe I will get into all that but I am just excited to share something new, I like the atmosphere of this one a lot even if it's not really a typical single. I can even put it on Bandcamp today if anyone wants it before it hits streaming platforms)
(I am of Greek descent partly, and I love how we got all these OG gays like Sappho and the Spartans and whatnot)
I usually listen to music very disconnectedly aka songs not from the same album not even from the same singer etc
But there are a few albums that I love as a whole and I would buy a physical copy of
Freedom (2001) and Glory (2011) by Michael W Smith - two fully instrumental albums of his that, together, seem to tell a coherent story. Singlehandedly shaped my taste in music and how I relate to all art (ie narratively rather than say poetically)
The Way (2011) by Zack Hemsey - another fully instrumental album that sounds like a soundtrack but actually isn't, from the guy who composed the theme to the trailer of Inception (2010)
S/T (2007) by This Will Destroy You - my very first post rock album and man am I obsessed with this genre now. I discovered this from a line rider video no less - what an emotional rollercoaster, literally
Everywhere at the End of Time (all stages, 2016-2019) by The Caretaker - if I wrote everything i could it'd take pages. I've never been such a dedicated fan to anything ever except to this
Degančios Akys (2015, "Burning Eyes") by Andrius Mamontovas - my introduction to Lithuanian music, and man am I absolutely in love. The most nostalgic sounding album I've ever listened to, except it makes me long for a future time instead of a past one
Departure Songs (2015) by We Lost the Sea - another post rock masterpiece that I discovered through a post rock compilation recommended on YouTube. The ending to this album is the most emotional thing you'll hear in a while
Movie soundtracks are their own category. So ți be continued I guess?
In this episode, we explore sound experimentation among the Russian Avant Garde of the early 20th century.

In this episode, we explore sound experimentation among the Russian Avant Garde of the early 20th century. A massive chapter in sound history unto itself, with numerous books, research papers, articles and archives recovered already, we listen to some of my favourite works from this early…
