LEVIATHAN CRVX IS HERE This is the first "real" album from my occult / dark ambient / trip hop project Leviathan Crvx. It's a full live set you can watch on YouTube, an album download, and on Bandcamp: the project files for the Syntakt and the Deluge. Links to check this out are here:

It's not a HUGE deal, but bills are piling up and I've been in and out of doctor's appointments for the past 2 weeks (the first being for carpal tunnel, and the second being an autism assessment on Mon) Any support is greatly appreciated 🙏 debisco.bandcamp.com/music

And one more guitar track made in Fast Tracker 2. This is a sequel to the one I posted recently. I think it was the first time when I made my own samples: made a few guitar parts with samples and then added distortion. youtu.be/BwT0uIpP9aM

Another old tracker module with guitars. I liked writing long compositions with a lot of parts back in those days. My composition is usually simpler now but with some intricate details in the arrangement. It's interesting to see how my music changed over the years. youtu.be/EGbUWBjFa0A

It’s so great to see people sharing your work. Small artists like me appreciate every share.

Here’s a creepy li’l waltz I made for this prompt. It’s good to be back: youtu.be/-Es6yppA8vM

If you make music and want to work to a new prompt every week, we have been doing this challenge for the best part of 10 years now. Any level is welcome, from total beginner to seasoned pro. This week is #HauntedCarnival! Big thanks to @clementpanchout.bsky.social for making us what we are today!🎉

I support this idea. PS2 was good enough. GBA and 3DS are my favorite consoles.

Luke half-seriously wonders: What if...everyone just re-released old consoles instead of trying to sell $1000+ new ones? aftermath.site/ps2-xbox-re-re...

It’s BandCamp Friday once again! That means that more of every purchase on our BandCamp goes to the incredible musicians that make these projects possible! All human made! No AI. 🚫 Check out the posts below for links to each release, or our BandCamp Homepage! gamegroovesmusic.bandcamp.com

I’m so fucking tired of AI. I work in a big tech company and everyone is forced to use AI every day. We have to use it for everything: writing, coding, testing, resolving issues. A recent mandate was to make agents run overnight. They can’t have human slaves, so they’re making AI slaves.

AI makes you lose your skills, I know it from my very own experience. This is another reason why I stopped using AI for coding my tracker, ChipNomad. I, surprisingly, am not strictly against using GenAI for coding, but the current state of this tech is terrible. It’s harmful to say the least.

I will do my best to keep my job while looking for new ways to make a living in this dystopian AI-poisoned world. But honestly, if I’d have another job to support my family, I would resign immediately.

I have to use AI every day too. They have metrics to track that. You use it or you leave (“managed out”). I can’t afford losing this job, because we’re a single income family with 2 kids. I would love to leave but I can’t. Any other company with the similar salary has the same AI mandates.

I was playing around in @megus.org 's ChipNomad tracker and thought it would be fun to make a house-style song with the large, seventh-chords used back in the 90's. #MARU #music

I’m so much enjoying playing Pump It Up every Friday now. I wonder how every other player I see is so good? All of them play up to difficulty 15. Where are noobs like me (I can play 6-8)? And they all hold the bar. I wonder why?
