Related: promoting new music has gotten HARD. I mainly want to just contribute something to the genre (not trying to sell anything) but man it's tough to cut through all the noise.

you are welcome man, I appreciate how much work goes into it ( on top of being into stuff like black gaze along with different melodic and progressive metal genres) Maybe I’m just a dinosaur but I feel like even though the ability to build, record, and put yourself out there is so much easier than it used to be. in the same breath though it seems hard to keep peoples attention, I feel like people cared more about music 20-30 years ago than they do today. If you ever need an ear to bounce ideas off of, want an opinion or want some constructive criticism. I would be more than happy to.. I know having that can be important in the creative process.
 
CDBaby took a week and a half in the inspection queue, but finally it's out in most streaming services:

I wrote the songs (except for vocals, those were all by the vocalist) and played the guitars, recorded, mixed and mastered it all. A bunch of things I'm not happy with, but at some point you have to let it go.

I was only able to listen to it on my phone but the mix and mastering sounds great well done!

I like the nice weather parts.

I dislike the alarm clock parts.

Seems like it’s doing it’s job.

Exactly! Thank you. I used drive and phaser and picking dynamic for the alarm clock and I’m very happy with how it turned out. Grating, off tempo and it makes you want to go “shut the f$@& up” which is how I feel when my alarm goes off in the morning.

I made a track for an online film scoring class I’m taking. I used octave, phaser, chorus, delay and reverb. Japanese Strat through TK Imperial MKII, recorded with Logic Pro.

Good stuff! The stormy parts are more up my alley than the nice weather parts, and the first alarm clock fit in very well IMO, but it was all good

Demo. My friend told me to keep the scratch/dummy vocal tracks on this one, for whatever reason, even though they are flatter than the spare tire in my trunk.

Sure, fine, whatever.

This is just me, by myself, I do all kinds of different weirdo music for my own personal amusement, it's purely of interest.

Bandcamp, soundcloud, official releases? That's for posers.

8-track tapes are the way of the future.

This was all done using lo-fi recording gear, with broken equipment sourced at local thrift stores:

My regular job is a high school band director, so most of my music creation revolves around writing for my students. While this is not exactly guitar music, it’s where I get to stretch my composing and orchestration legs. This is my marching band’s field show from the Fall 2025. The show is entitled Lagertha based on the Viking legend. I composed the music and did the orchestration. My head percussion coach did all the percussion writing. My favorite parts might be the flute and oboe solos in the 2nd movement.

That was awesome. Very creative. Whether it's for guitar, piano, orchestra or whatever, we're all stretching the same muscles when writing and it's a good muscle to develop. How many hours of writing this took you reckon?

That's cool as shit. My favorite memories from high school are of marching band. Our group was very tight, and many of us also did symphonic band and pit orchestra for the musical. I remember meeting on the weekends to construct sets for the drama production, and meeting over the summer for sectionals. It was always so much fun.

I did the first 30 seconds or so over a couple days in April because I needed to get it going. The rest of the three minutes of the opener was done the last week of school in June. Students got it the last day of school. The ballad movement was over the next week after school got out, and the closer was almost done before I went on vacation at the end of June. I had it completed July 1. If I had to guess, including making the parts and all the tediousness of making it look good on paper, it was probably over 50 hours easy. Hundreds of hours of rehearsal, and tens of thousands dollars to make the marching season happen.

I listened to this again last night and I really dig it. The music is awesome but the whole thing is really amazing. The choreography is fantastic and everything was executed extremely well! It must have been a lot of work to pull this off!
 
I've been getting into recording a little more lately and made myself a little bandcamp. It will almost certainly just contain ambient guitar noodles, but it's been fun to try to have a place to put "finished" things. It's also been fun to use things other than just the guitar to make sounds. For this particular one I busted out the Digitakt and sliced up a sample to make that a nice little drone/pad that sat in the background.

Lovely stuff there. It's kinda cool how ambient stuff like this almost forces your brain to conjure images to match the soundscape.

Thanks!! And yea I agree, it's not to have just some instruments going and then let your mind fill in the blanks.
