News : The Sci-Fi conundrum and inspiration (Patreon)
Content
Hello patrons!
Just a short message to keep you updated of what's planned these days and what I've been working on lately.
1) One year ago I started a Sci-Fi album on Bandcamp. It received only 15 tracks, while at the same time I composed over 200 medfan/neutral pieces. Some of you contacted me about it and asked when it would be finished.
Starting on the first of March, I decided to finish that album as a priority. While working on it, I realised how fun it was to compose Sci-Fi tracks. At the same time, I composed some Cyberpunk, Post-Apo and modern tracks. (Cyberpunk will be on the same album as Sci-Fi).
Sci-Fi and cyberpunk are really hard to work on. Unlike medieval, I don't have any reference to rely on. Also, the more we go forward with technology, the less noisy things become, and the less the categories of sounds intersect with each other. By example, in a medieval context, humans sounds and nature sounds are almost always mixed. In a Sci-Fi context, you often think of pristine halls in high-tech structures, or completely untouched, preserved natures of exoplanets.
This is where the problem is : many of these scenes are impossible to depict in terms of sound, or are indistinctive from each other.
However, don't worry. In just a few days I composed over 16 new tracks to be included on the albums, and some already have great variations for Patreon. I'm just saying it's very complexe and it requires a lot of study on my side, with new mixing/editing technics. I want to do things with the same quality as my fantasy pieces, I want to avoid the "easiness" of layering synths pads (as most of the Sci-Fi stuff you find on YouTube) and call it a day.
2) And as for the Post-Apo tracks, I'm still hesitating between adding them on the modern album or make a full post-apo album. In both cases, I won't release anything before I have ~20 tracks, to avoid doing the same as for the Sci-Fi album.
3) I'm composing music again. These past months have been rough, both mentally and in terms of schedule. The ambiences productivity was excellent, but I wasn't in the mood for music. The inspiration is back again :P
Thanks for reading this message. If you have propositions of Sci-Fi / Cyberpunk / Post-Apo / Modern, feel free to share! If it's doable, it will be on my list ;)
Have a beautiful day!
