Ask HN: Do you create music? let's hear it

• dontreact 6y ago
  This is probably the one I'm most proud of! https://soundcloud.com/congratulatinos/caroline https://soundcloud.com/congratulatinos/caroline
  • Rochus 6y ago
    Nice, sounds like real instruments; did you play all tracks yourself (incl. bass, drums, perc, voices)?
    • dontreact 6y ago
      This was with a band, all recorded live in a studio except for the vocals which I did later myself
      • dontreact 6y ago
        The drummer was incredible, a Senagelese griot playing Sabar drums. Unfortunately he is back in Senegal now.
  • rsp1984 6y ago
    Killer
  • stefanmichael 6y ago
    beautiful stuff, vocals are great and remind me a bit of young the giant's vocals, but over a totally different style of music. really enjoyed the listen!
  • bl00djack 6y ago
    This is actually really good. Definitely something I would download to my Apple Music library.
    • dontreact 6y ago
      It’s on iTunes if you look for Caroline Congratulatinos
  • pryce 6y ago
    That's stellar, really great work. I think I understand what you mean about music being a way back from despair too; after I dropped out of medical school when my best friend died, I was asked to try and retrieve her music and photos which meant figuring out how to fix a fried external hard drive of hers, and a broken ipod too. The music I recovered was one of the few things that helped me get through a pretty dark time.

• mintplant 6y ago
  I did once, a few years ago. In a procrastination-fueled frenzy I banged out a harsh noise album in a single sitting. It's still kind of a blur. https://1iu1iu.bandcamp.com/album/an-urban-summoning https://1iu1iu.bandcamp.com/album/an-urban-summoning There's a short film that goes along with it, but that'll probably stay in my head.
  • throwawaygimp 6y ago
    Thats really interesting. How did you put that together? I've always liked this sort of thing. Would love to know how you did it
    • mintplant 6y ago
      Raw sounds were generated by manually fiddling with audio cables, field recording, and tone generators. I fed them all into Audacity and layered and blasted them out in different ways - pitch shifts, overdriving, intentional clipping and phasing, cutting off the tops and bottoms of waveforms, running them through tweaked reverbs and sound reproducers designed for slowing down music - intentionally misusing effects to create new sounds and distortions. Once I had a big project file going, I split it up into sections and started arranging things to create patterns, rhythms, and repeating themes, and work the noise into a kind of narrative that was forming in my brain.

    Your track "Cybernetics" is honestly really good and will likely be on repeat for some time going forward. Reminds me a little bit of Lemon Jelly.
    • wellthisisgreat 6y ago
      Love it too, will be a great track for night time riding in the city
  • epiphanitus 6y ago
    I love the mix of the ambience and the narrator. Those PSAs and old narrations really add an interesting dimension to it. Question, where do you find those voice samples?
    • metropolisinter 6y ago
      In "Cybernetics" the voice is from Stafford Beer [1] lecturing about the Cybersyn project [2] In "Basilisk" it's Buckminster Fuller in the first minutes of 'Everything I Know' [3] 1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_bXlEvygHg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_bXlEvygHg 2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Cybersyn https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Cybersyn 3. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9nMMzErQhE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9nMMzErQhE

    Good stuff, like the idea of 1 day projects. In my experience the tracks I’ve actually finished are always the ones that came together pretty much in a day. Otherwise they get lost to time.

  Hi there! Long time lurker on HN, and I love this community. I thought I’d share my work here. My background is is physics and maths, scientific programming and research (back in the day) got into teaching for a while. Music was always a hobby but in the past two years I’ve decided to put a lot more time and effort into it. I’m studying a music production course to reinforce some concepts and learn more mixing and engineering theory. Part of music for me is that it feels like a more meaningful way to apply my science knowledge. They way music makes people feel is really powerful. I work with my partner, we DJ, produce and play instruments (drums and piano with bands/jam). It’s amazing fun and you meet some amazing people. We’ve also done a few live stream events on our own channel and other peoples channels. Hoping to finish our first ep this year. We’re from Australia, east coast. Mostly bass music, but we really try to keep things diverse in terms of sound and influences. No techno/house/trance. It’s a small scene the bass music, relative to the older générés. Have a listen, drop us a line if you like what you hear! https://soundcloud.com/mdubs-music https://soundcloud.com/mdubs-music http://mdubs.fastmail.com http://mdubs.fastmail.com P.s. the website was hand written by me!

• analog31 6y ago
  This is going to sound odd, but I am practically un-recorded. I'm a jazz bassist, and I find the recording process to be stressful and unrewarding, but love to perform for an audience. So my recordings are limited to cases where someone hired me to play bass for a demo, or something like that. Perhaps part of recording is a mental game, getting over being distracted by the thought that someone else is paying for my mistakes. Also, maybe music is for me an escape from the tech world. So my utopia is still playing alcohol powered instruments with a bunch of kindred spirits. But it's cool to see so many links. During the lockdown, some friends and I have gotten together using Jamulus, just to be able to keep playing. I also tried a "round robin" recording, where each player lays down their part and passes it along to the next player, but the tune I chose was quite frankly over my head, so the final mix isn't really presentable. Also, I chose the tune in the first month of the lockdown, so it sounds really lonely and depressing.

  https://tomorrowmars.bandcamp.com/ https://tomorrowmars.bandcamp.com/ An electronic ambient / drone / noise soundtrack. All the tracks should be playable freely. Mostly electronic with some diy shovel guitar samples and collected & recorded ambient noises. Most tracks are melodic and somewhat calmly chill, however, Tracks 2 and 3 (and the bonus 30 minutes mix) are noisy. Give them a fast-forward at lower volume to insure you don't encounter noise level you would not be comfortable with. I find experimenting with ambient music as well as digital drawing helps me reset.
  • Hammershaft 6y ago

  • NotPavlovsDog 6y ago
    Would you happen to know, does DistroKid offer the same pro publishing services like CD baby etc? At a cursory glanse, I saw a limited list on the DistroKid website vs a longer royalties services list competitors have. P.S. congratulations on the game relase! Spotify was asking me to login, so i think I found you on youtube, giving a listen. Perhaps consider updating your post by adding a non-spotify link?
    • barryvan 6y ago
      Thanks! I've updated the post with more links. :) CDBaby and Distrokid have a different model. Distrokid is effectively subscription based, with unlimited uploads of singles and albums as long as you keep up with your payments. CDBaby, by contrast, is more transactional. This works better for me, at least, because I do music as a hobby on the side, and so tend to release individual tracks sporadically, rather than entire albums. (Although having said that, I'm working on an ambient album right now!) I'm certainly not raking in money through music streams, but I'm also not doing much marketing -- this post on HN is the most marketing I've done in the past month. ;) Unfortunately that means I can't really comment on how Distrokid compares in terms of managing payments etc.

  A number of years ago a co-worker didn't believe that I could sing or play guitar, let alone at the same time! So I told him to pick a song and I would record it. He picked "Holding on For A Hero" by Bonnie Tyler. https://m.soundcloud.com/ryan-flowers-916961339/holding-on-for-a-hero https://m.soundcloud.com/ryan-flowers-916961339/holding-on-f... I didn't think that song was very interesting and so I decided to choose one that was more my own liking. Taylor Swift's new album had just come out. Although I'm definitely not a Swifty I thought some of her songs were catchy, so I decided to have some fun with it. You can probably tell that I'm a huge Weird Al fan. https://m.soundcloud.com/ryan-flowers-916961339/ryanflowers-blankspace https://m.soundcloud.com/ryan-flowers-916961339/ryanflowers-...

I wish I could share that as I think it's much better than my work up till now but anyway! Deep Techno is a perfect style for background music to code to, similar in some ways to IDM but the repetitive 4/4 beat is great for focusing - well it is for me! If you're interested in the style check out the deep techno playlist on my Spotify page, I cover all the well known artists of the subgenre.

  Hello! I've been reading HN forever and just want to say how much I appreciate the community. It's not a surprise how many of you are musicians. Almost every coder, engineer (of all disciplines), or otherwise technical person I've worked with has some kind of music background - from marching band to Death Metal. I've always loved that. I've been making websites almost as many years as I've been in band - which (yikes) is basically a large INT. Being a coder freed me to go on tour and I was lucky enough to get out there for nearly 20 years (in my own band or as hired gun) and am still getting out there - albeit shorter trips. I'm super grateful. I've released music from a few different projects this past year or so...

  Here's an old song of mine.

  I’ve been producing electronic music since the early 2000s, and I’m still not sure what genre it is. It’s definitely not dance or EDM, but it’s not downtempo or ambient, either. https://presteign.com https://presteign.com
  • wvenable 6y ago
    Reminds me of demoscene music. If that is a genre, I'd say it fits it.
    • mortenjorck 6y ago
      I’m actually kind of amazed that you’ve traced that lineage, as some of the earliest influences on my musical taste were the tracker-based soundtracks of Amiga games, coming out of the same milieu as the scene. I never could get into trackers, but there must be elements of classic modfile music that still come through in my music all these years later.
  • smrq 6y ago
    Seconding those demoscene vibes. I'm into it. Not really sure what you call it either. Not ironic enough to be vaporwave, not 80s enough to be synthwave... well, whatever it is, it probably ends in wave. Is demowave a thing? Regardless, this is going into my Spotify rotation!

  I've been writing music for, god, almost 20 years by now. My current project is to actually write an album, as opposed to individual songs. It's coming along, slowly. During quarantine I picked up a few things. I grew up on SNES RPGs, and one little project was to learn how the SPC worked a bit better. I ripped some samples for the instruments from Seiken Densetsu 3 and wrote a small sampler that can play back the raw ripped samples using SuperCollider. With that and ORCA, I made this tune, inspired by Infocom/Brian Moriarty's brilliant game Trinity. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZ0JY_LTxc8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZ0JY_LTxc8 Another project was inspired by growing up with Winamp visualizations. This ended up being a huge rabbit hole as I made a visualizer using Three.js, ran into performance problems rendering a 1440p video in JS, ported to C++ with plain old OpenGL, and figured out how to use ffmpeg from C++. All for a visualization for a track I did years ago! I love how it turned out, though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlA_Mkld3xc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlA_Mkld3xc
  • FraKtus 6y ago
    Tetrik is a great track and the visualisations are great. For me having visuals nicely synchronised to the music is adding a lot. Now that you have a nice custom tools to produce video you should build on it and produce more of them. You have a fan here!

  I got into music production when the pandemic hit. I've been obsessed with it since March. I've been playing guitar for over 20 years though.

  I started making music in the 90s when computers were obviously much slower, so we're only used for MIDI sequencing of external hardware. I spent my highschool years doing y2k prep for a few companies, and saving evey dollar do I could buy hardware samplers, mixers, synths. These days, it's modular synths (some of which I've built), and many computers. https://open.spotify.com/artist/0aqdYuKQ9dpJHxdef1zGiq?si=zQ7A8uMbTsGunCcOLwcn3g&utm_source=copy-link https://open.spotify.com/artist/0aqdYuKQ9dpJHxdef1zGiq?si=zQ...

  I ended up with a pinched nerve a couple of years ago and couldn't walk for a long time--lost the feeling in my leg. Totally sucked. My girlfriend left me at almost my lowest point too, even after casually agreeing to marry six months earlier (not officially though). I was living in NYC and my building porter and I started jamming to cheer me up. He had no musical training but just played from his heart. He also started doing push-ups and exercising with me in my apartment in-between recording, which helped a lot with my health. After 11 months the building supervisor got pissed and put an end to it--came to my door screaming at us. Good times haha. After jamming for so long we had a good collection of music and I decided to assemble it into a full album, particularly a rock opera, telling the story of us making the album. We plan to release it this year, but I've been sharing some of the nearly completed songs with friends and family. This is the last song on the album: https://soundcloud.com/systemcheck/ecstasy/s-Gl2Rm https://soundcloud.com/systemcheck/ecstasy/s-Gl2Rm My building porter Alfred (what a name huh?) is now a friend for life.

  Anybody here remember Beyond the Mind's Eye etc? (Some of the same clips were used in Lawnmower Man). I found a VHS of it at a Good Will. Made a music video chopping it up (2011): - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrR6kCikmwc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrR6kCikmwc Here's my other music video, way better track and video: - https://vimeo.com/19813642 https://vimeo.com/19813642 "Ferns", music video by Steph D. Two free albums -- psychedelic beats (Sea Things) and ambient (Tunnel Visions). They're both on Bandcamp: - https://seathings.bandcamp.com https://seathings.bandcamp.com (2010) - https://tunnelvisionsmusic.bandcamp.com https://tunnelvisionsmusic.bandcamp.com Both albums are mostly instrumental. - http://sunbather.biz http://sunbather.biz ← old music portfolio site, links to everything mentioned in this comment. Other retro nostalgia things: I did a lil track w/ Julian Wass where we sampled MIDI and speech from Dark Seed (old point and click DOS game that oddly had art direction by H.R. Geiger). We had more planned but I'm glad we made this one. https://cyberdreams.bandcamp.com/ https://cyberdreams.bandcamp.com/ Also, the last track on that Tunnel Visions album is based on a sample from Star Tropics, if anyone remembers that game :) I've been stealthy since ~2015. I'm still making stuff, so I have a big backlog. Which is a fun problem to have. Once I get a business off the ground... then I'm gonna start releasing stuff again. (New project(s).) I got into beatmaking in 7th grade with FL Studio FKA Fruity Loops. In college, it was actually a Max/MSP class that motivated me to learn code. </waxing-nostalgic> p.s. I've always wanted to make soundtracks for indie games. If anybody's looking, LMK. I have a lot of stuff in the backlog that I could take in that direction.

  I studied classical music composition and have still written music while working as a software developer. I'm happy that I (re)found a passion for programming as being a freelance composer wasn't paying quite well :D It has also been a joy to notice how my studies gave really good foundations for becoming a software engineer. Currently I'm writing a commission piece for symphony orchestra. Quite excited but super hard to find time to concentrate while working in a seed-stage startup and raising two kids...

  • ace2358 6y ago
    On a certain level, I think music should be free as in libre. It’s kind of an idea more than anything else. I’m thinking of selling music and then after a certain time (12 months?) it becomes pay what you want. In terms of DRM I hate it and never want it to be a burden to my listeners. If someone steals it, they probably weren’t going to buy it, but maybe they’ll come to a show/buy a shirt. I don’t like ad supported streaming either, or streaming in general, we already went through the issues of mega record labels, would hate to see steaming services start to dominate music taste/direction.
    • ulisesrmzroche 6y ago
      Im on that side too. Just make all singles free. The album can cost money but it comes with a poster or something. Backstage doc. In the end, people will pay for live music. And performers pay for the song itself. B2B.

  I've been doing mainly improvised (experimental) music for the past 20 years. My instrument / sound source are the magnetic fields emitted by hard drives (hdd), signal generators and for the last year the cheapest synths you can find. I've always been very bad at documenting what I do, so there is not much to look at or listen to. also, I have always thought of my music to be for live audiences and so there are only a few releases I did over the years. here's my ancient website hosted by klingt.org - a platform for musicians of the experimental / jazz / new music genre originally from vienna, now international: https://rossi.klingt.org https://rossi.klingt.org it has a jukebox that lets you listen to hours of copyleft material by the platforms users: https://jokebux.klingt.org/ https://jokebux.klingt.org/ and my long time trio "das fax mattinger" has a website and a short (~17min.) video of a gig we did last year. don't skip through, let it unfold. no hdds have been harmed this time. https://dasfaxmattinger.klingt.org/ https://dasfaxmattinger.klingt.org/ https://youtu.be/qZHTaHLQfFk https://youtu.be/qZHTaHLQfFk and a little (1min.) teaser I did (sry its instagram): https://www.instagram.com/p/CEQ1EbrhipT https://www.instagram.com/p/CEQ1EbrhipT

  • cryptica 6y ago
    The vocals don't match the electronic music as much as it should IMO. It sounds a but too much like children music. The vocals trivialize the subject matter. Electronic should be more neurotic. I like the tune but think it could be a lot better with different vocals (or no vocals) and possibly some additional electronic soundtrack on top.

  I developed a music theory MIDI generator with all scales, all chords, all keys including the past 100 years of chord progressions used in popular music (ordered by most famous to very dissonant ones). You can find the beta MIDI chord pack here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/9l6guk9jdz5mpe6/MidiTheoryPack_beta2.zip?dl=0&file_subpath=%2Fgenerated https://www.dropbox.com/s/9l6guk9jdz5mpe6/MidiTheoryPack_bet... With these progressions you can easily create a basic harmony for your music and with the scales and chords you can diversify them and make them actually great compositions. But please don't share this too much yet. I'm still working on that and will release it Open Source very soon after a refactoring of the code. If you are good in music theory. Please send me suggestions here in the comments.

      Nice, Mizza. I thought of making an open source plugin (VST, AU) with JUCE as well. Would you be interested? We could maybe combine our efforts

  I make something like indie pop rock. Somewhat sadly, my favorite song of mine is now 10 years old: https://calvinflegal.bandcamp.com/track/when-you-were-around https://calvinflegal.bandcamp.com/track/when-you-were-around. I more recently put a song on Spotify. I'm somewhat happy with it, but the vocal lacks confidence vs the first one imo: https://open.spotify.com/track/6XlWm24ERDdgmK4Z6Px5TD?si=vkNb79iWSv-VXXZoMZ8-Zg https://open.spotify.com/track/6XlWm24ERDdgmK4Z6Px5TD?si=vkN... Having critiqued myself as above, my next one will have a more confident vocal. Here's a tiny clip: https://t.co/8qcaYKbT4v?amp=1 https://t.co/8qcaYKbT4v?amp=1

  Here's an album I made with Haskell (TidalCycles) and SuperCollider! Isohedra has groovy, moody and minimal beats - I heard it's good for concentration. I've been at it for some time but this is my first code-generated release. - https://soundcloud.com/ghalestrilo/sets/isohedra https://soundcloud.com/ghalestrilo/sets/isohedra - https://open.spotify.com/artist/0vkFKjAM0AXFZ9a28wSMqL https://open.spotify.com/artist/0vkFKjAM0AXFZ9a28wSMqL - https://audius.co/ghalestrilo/album/isohedra-7342 https://audius.co/ghalestrilo/album/isohedra-7342

• gnegong 6y ago
  Over ten years ago I started my project/band called Two Games Joined, where I cover tracks from video games and sometimes other popcultural stuff and make them into actual songs with lyrics, plus write original songs inspired by them. The lineup is sort of a revolving door where some people record parts more often and others feature for a song or two. It's mostly aggressive music with harsh guitars and electronic noise, but it also gets trip-hoppy or mellow sometimes. Most of it would probably be classified as industrial. Main inspirations: Nine Inch Nails, Linkin Park, Powerman 5000, Rabbit Junk, Alexander Brandon, Amon Tobin, Public Enemy, Killing Joke. https://www.twogamesjoined.com/ https://www.twogamesjoined.com/

  Long time lurker on HN, first ever post. I'm a developer who also creates electronic music in my spare time. I decided, never having done any 'web' development before, to create a webpage from scratch to host a couple of tunes I wrote. What resulted was a mathematically generated space-octopus with a starfield created out of tiny notes [!]. I did this for no good reason at all, other than then the enjoyment of figuring out how to do it and of creating something. It also took way more time than was sensible. Check it out here if interested https://voidsymphony.com https://voidsymphony.com

  I was on a gap year after an MEng in Computing when covid lockdown v1 hit the UK. Unsure what to do with my life I watched Downton Abbey with my parents and baked lots of banana bread. I'd picked up ukulele to de-stress during exam seasons and weeks before starting my first full-time engineering job I decided to make a rap music video with some vfx, animation, and... juggling? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GziSV9hQ-r8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GziSV9hQ-r8 Camera: Canon EOS 70D Mic: Audio-Technica AT2020 Interface: Mackie Onyx Blackjack Software: Logic Pro X, Adobe After Effects + Premiere

  Some seriously talented musicians here. I have favourited a number of tracks here across a number of genres. Maybe interesting to some of you: I'm especially happy for so many good recordings without lyrics. I'd like to propose a monthly Show HN thread for musicians: "Who has released" or something :-)

  https://soundcloud.com/jpnickolas https://soundcloud.com/jpnickolas My quarantine hobby has been to get better at mixing and producing music. I mostly play guitar, so it's been a difficult process to get my vocals and lyrics anywhere near good (and something I'm still working on). I'm starting to hit a point where I can mix on autopilot (not that the mixing is great, just that it's no longer the bottleneck), so my next effort is to write drums that are more than just stock presets. Huge shout out to http://songfight.org http://songfight.org for being the catalyst that created any of those songs that have lyrics. They're a pretty small community that's been going on for 20 years, where every two weeks you're given a song title and 1 week to write a song that incorporates the title. The real beauty comes from the forums where people review each other's songs with a critical eye. Very wholesome community. Note: please don't vote for me in this week's Songfight challenge - since the winner normally has somewhere between 10 and 20 votes, it's very clear when someone is calling on friends to flood the votes. It'll only lead to deep shame on my end, but I do encourage y'all to vote for any songs that you particularly like.

  I make music on and off since I was a teenager. I always tried to keep it as something to bring me joy instead of letting it consume me by trying to become famous or well-known in some way. People tell me it sounds like videogame music but videogame music can sound like anything so I never understood what they meant by that. A few months ago I built a website to showcase the music I made recently, simply by replacing the files and letting people come back and play it https://glitchy.website/ https://glitchy.website/

  I got vertigo with the level of creativity here. Here's a couple of things and my first post on HN. 1 - Made this with Mark from Delta-V Audio. He coded a granular synth from scratch then we jammed together: https://soundcloud.com/benedictmortimer/sets/biholomorphia/s-N2ZrHoK6x7L https://soundcloud.com/benedictmortimer/sets/biholomorphia/s... You can check out his synth here, it's fun: https://www.deltavaudio.com https://www.deltavaudio.com 2 - Made this with Kanad Chakrabarti. I did the synth and drum programming and he made the vapourwavey unreal / GPU Shader visuals https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96XEXaC7xfE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96XEXaC7xfE Here's a link to other bits and pieces.
