I wanna hear your music!
I was told by the overlords that this was the way to ask permission to hear you! I wanna share, discover, and enjoy your personal music. I’ll add myself and some other projects to the bottom of this post, but I truly only want to hear you.

Hey hey! We got mentioned in another thread, but I am the guitarist for Sir Curse, a bit of a weird, genre-bending band from Yorkshire. You can find us at https://sircurse.bandcamp.com/ or check out our videos on YouTube We also have a couple of new tracks coming out this year to look forward to! At some point I'm planning to do a post in ~music about the band in more detail, with a bit of backstory and some thoughts about the songs we have. But give us a listen, and let me know what you think!
I've had a quick listen through some of your stuff on Bandcamp, and I really like your piano work. It's beautifully written and played. It's the calibre of stuff that I wish that I was able to write on the instrument! I liked your song Write as well, it reminded me a little of a band that are based in the same city as me: The Harriets.
As a relatively genre-bending musical artist from Leeds myself, I very much didn't expect this answer to be floating at the top of this lovely question! I've been having a great time listening through your work on Bandcamp; so very fun indeed :) any plans for hometown gigs?
And yes, your planned indepth post elsewhere would be very interesting indeed; I can't wait to read it!
Hello fellow Leodensian! I didn't realise there was more than one of us on here :D
We're fairly busy this summer with festivals and a battle of the bands type situation over in Manchester, and we're trying to avoid overplaying our hometown. Our next show in Leeds is going to be October 21st, and it's our Halloween special, so we're pulling out all the stops. Not quite ready to announce yet, so you (and Tildes at large, haha) are the first to find out! Give us a follow on instagram if you want to keep an eye out for when we announce. Would love for you to come along and have a boogie with us <3
I’m joining a soul/R&B band coming up this August. I’d like to be my own band, but I’m afraid. I guess that’s why I’m asking for all of you to share your own stuff… I should just take my own advice and not be afraid. PDX is home, so it should happen soon enough. Love your work.
I fuggin dig it! This is what I’m talkin about… or as my friend so likes to say “That’s a TugBoat.”
The vocals are on point!
(Btw you’re too kind… thank you!)
ngl, I did not expect anything really good. I was wrong.
Still have yet to see the music videos, might seem em another time. "Tarot" is a certified banger.
I just released my first EP a couple of months ago! It's kind of a blend of synth-pop, and psychedelia, with some house influence. I'd say it's somewhat reminiscent of the "chillwave" stuff from the 2010s. I'll drop a couple links.

Looking forward to checking out everyone else's music once I get the chance!
I love how groovy and upbeat the EP is. The filtered vocals remind me of another favorite band of mine called Disperse, and the evolving soundscapes give me big Enigma vibes. Great stuff.
Thanks for the kind words! I've actually never heard of either lol. I'll definitely check the both of them out though. Any starting points you'd recommend?
Disperse have sadly only put two albums before disbanding. I haven't listened to the first one very much, but the second one called Foreword is one of my favorites. For Enigma, their debut album MCMXC a.D. is a certified classic.
Damn good. The steel guitar is just choice.
Thanks! Wondering if you're referring to the little lead line in Myopia Mirror here? It's actually a synth! I sort of challenged myself on this project by sticking mostly to synth sounds, so everything that's not a voice/drum sample/other obvious sample are all synths actually.
Followed on Spotify, and wishlisted on Bandcamp.
This is a really nice listen haha! I loved "Myopia Mirror" instantly. Would totally sample that song.
How the fuck did you do the choir production on "Live and Let Be"? I am so floored by this EP. I would sample this too haha
Thanks so much! You're more than welcome to sample anything you like if it strikes your fancy, lol.
If you're referring to that final section in LALB, it's just a lot of layering of my voice and other synths basically lol. My poor laptop struggled with that one.
Oh bet.
Thanks for getting back to me. I also found your Instagram and followed on both personal and band accounts. Wanna support you as much as possible.
My bands name is gleaming streets, we were doing pop-punk but have transitioned more to indie in recent years

On my radar! Big fan already. Makes me think of Say Anything or Modest Mouse, but you have your own voice. Drums sound perfect.
Here’s a song I’m currently working on. I’m still figuring out the mix on it. Would love some feedback :)

Yeoooooooooooooo. Keep that style. Baller. I have nothing but good things to say. My first thought is to maybe double up the vocals at the end of your spit. Just give that last word more weight? Thoughts.
Hello.
I am in a band called LUCY. We do experimental rock where we always shift sound over projects, and am actually working on a demos EP soon. I'll let the music speak for itself.

Woah…. I LOVE THIS. Also, we’re never alone.
What do you mean by that, out of curiosity?
I’m here. With you. Loneliness is only so far as you feel… I’m here.
Ah.
What made you get the feeling I was lonely?
Hey Kaylon,
I’m not sure why I said that. Maybe I’m just extrapolating that from your tunes? Also the description of your song called “Film” has a lot of indication of loss, but maybe I’m interpreting it wrongly.
Well yeah, "Film" is about mourning a close friend of mine who committed suicide. It's p explicit in how mourning is, and I wanted to write a song that was honest about suicide. There's not a lot of blunt honesty when it comes to situations like that.
Yeah I do experience loneliness quite a lot. Mental illness is a significant theme in my work, and the upcoming oeuvre is going to be much heavier about it than contemporary bands and artists.
Checking out everyone's wonderful projects makes me kind of ashamed of sharing my half-baked noodling, but hopefully I won't offend anyone's ears too much. Here's my collection of mostly guitar-focused tunes I've written over the years in various styles: https://soundcloud.com/yamplum
I know the feeling… I always hide, but I feel comfortable here on Tildes to share. We should all share! Your guitar work is epic.
Creating is really an agonizing process, isn't it? Flip-flopping between being completely enraptured with something you've come up with and being completely disgusted with it, never being sure if it's good enough, wanting to share with the world but at the same time fearing rejection — or worse, apathy. I love it a lot and hate it a lot. But right now I'm taking a loooong break.
Artists always have some kind of darkness. It’s not an easy task to bring to light the internal struggle of one’s self. Personally, I believe we all come from the same place inside, and that one place deserves to be shown. Now I feel like I’m pontificating too much, but I agree wholeheartedly with you in that I love it too much, and still also hate it more. Hopefully this space on Tildes can encourage us to share more of that and those ideas.
My best stuff is the result of borderline obsessive compulsion, self-hatred and desensitisation. I love music, and I am passionate to a fault about what I do. Yet, I think it also has something to do with efficiency. Losing faith in the process is one thing, but not being efficient about your time and effort probably contributes to burnout.
No one is a machine also. Many digital creators suffer from burnout yet everyone wants a piece of something, and we are hyper-conditioned to do something about that. Everything now is a commodity, just "content".
But I'm getting over my head. I agree with this sentiment a lot.
Here's my soundcloud, I make whatever I can with fl studio. No idea what I'm doing but I've been at it for a while so hopefully I've got at least some production quality down. I try to keep the track length short, around a minute per track, for easy consumption.
Genre is a mix of trap / electronic / beats / pop / sometimes lo fi / sometimes too bassy
Never been able to focus on a single sound, and can't stick to one project for more than a few hours, so everything is rough and unfinished. such is my life

I love Woah Hey. The crow is parfait.
Woah hey thanks!!
I fell into the rabbit hole that is modular synthesizers back in ‘16. Unlike a more familiar keyboard synthesizer, a modular synth is comprised of a rack with individual single function components (called modules) with patch points, inputs and outputs that can be routed to and from other modules. So not only is every person’s rack unique to the collection of modules they assemble, but it’s also unique in the ways that it gets patched up. I’ve built a rack geared towards making generative, spontaneous ambient music. I get so much joy from setting up a patch with the right amount of random voltages controlling various parameters that create these spontaneous moments of musical bliss.
The Encounter
Modular synths!!! I wanna dig into that… seems like a real quest. I effin love it. This is amazing.
A quest is a good way to describe it! I followed the advice of starting with a handful of modules, playing, exploring, and then letting the music tell me what modules I needed next.
And very quickly I needed a bigger rack.
And then very quickly after that, I needed an even bigger rack.

Remastered a bunch of instrumentals I recorded between 2005-2020.
I'm an amateur accordionist. I've recorded some songs for friends and family and you can find them on YouTube.
What kind of accordion is that???
Growing up, I always wanted to write music for video games, and pursued music until my first year of college.
A few years later, I got to get back into it and started making chiptune music on an actual retro game boy. I released it all under creative Commons license and let people use it for their games and videos and whatever they want.
I haven’t gotten to do as much lately, But I still love writing and hope to get back to it someday it’s so gratifying when someone uses my work and let me know about it and I get to be part of the creative process

My two old bands. Very young for both of them.Autonomous Collective
The Archive
This band ran from somewhere around 2017 to the start of the pandemic, and is now basically defunct. I played guitar and some synths, and songwriting here was collaborative though my part in it was small and mostly my own parts though some song structure things did involve my contributions. There's 3 additional unrecorded songs that would be great to get together and record for posterity. All 3 were more poppy and upbeat, one was kind of funky like had a heavy city pop influence, for example, but I don't have much faith we'll get together to record them, people have moved cities and spread apart so it seems likely people will only get this collection of somewhat moodier tracks.

I played Bass in this band only on the Secrets release, but left the band not long after that and did not participate in any newer stuff. (But still check those out if you liked this release cause I was not the songwriter of course so surely not much changed with my departure.)

Last year I released an album of microtonal electronic music using of a minimalist set up of amplified electric piano and 808-style drums/synth bass. Microtonality is perhaps a bit of an acquired taste, but I've had a lot of people tell me that it's more accessible than other microtonal music they've heard.

If you're interested in learning more about the music theory behind the album, I included some information about that, which is included with the (free!) download of the album.
I record under the name Even Beams and have one album out, with another about to be released. It's dark ambient with a space theme, synths and guitars.

I’m a 45 year old dude who made some music with my son-in-law. I started a very non-serious band, called Fatal Taint Infection, wrote some lyrics and he wrote some metal style music. The cover art is my wife eating a meatball. We hope to do a whole album at some
Point. You can find us on YouTube, Spotify, pandora, and others, or band camp of course:

I release music under Blinded By Its Majesty. Its instrumental prog/orchestra stuff. Only have a few songs out but I'd like to release an EP by the end of the year.
https://snailboy.bandcamp.com/
Hard to believe I've been doing this for 20 years... holy crap I'm old.
Most of it's in chronological order, but sometimes I release very old stuff as their own albums for funzies. There's a couple of things that break the mold a bit, like the DnB and metal albums I did, but the rest is weird glitchy triphop stuff. Have a listen, and don't you dare buy anything :P
Thanks for asking!
Here's my music on Apple Music, Spotify, or YouTube

I make different kinds of electronic music. Slow, atmospheric, ambient, experimental.
