We continue our journey along with the black cat that somewhat happens to be there in our way. And also moving out oy my comfort zone, once again. Some people mentioned a "wild west" vibe, but the actual intention was more into other type of wild. More like wild forests. And black cats, yeah.

Did you ever get lost in totally unknown territory, far away from human civilization? I did a few times, and while the idea may sound stressful there's also some pleasure on just exploring new mysterious places. Accompanied by harp as main protagonist along with a bunch of guitars and simple drums, we are now visiting the Mysterious Lands.

Crossing the Path of the Black Cat by Unknown Pseudoartist

Nature is a wonderful place to stay in. Unfortunately, some humans are despicable creatures doing nothing but harming everything around them, including the environment and the other animal kinds coexisting with us. If nature could talk, protest and fight back... This tune somewhat goes into that kind of vibes with a tribal feel and intense emotions. Including some catchy melodies along with the un...

In The Endless Abyss Of Eternal Doom by Unknown Pseudoartist

Once again moving a bit out of my comfort zone, since it's a kind of metal I'm not used to. Basically it was intended to sound like something from some ancient civilization, like metal in the old Egypt times. Lots of crunchy riffs, ethnic instruments and some simple but catchy melodies as usual.

Technically unfinished but still showing the idea pretty clear. This was meant to sound like a generic 90s JRPG battle theme, which were mostly inspired by prog-rock back in the time. The title is based in Sakuraba's well known tune "Unfinished battle with god syndrome" and the fact that I had to make it in 1 hour for a weekly compo and... well, just did what I could.

Another simple but hard-to-define instrumental. Initial intention was to try something in the vein of Motoi Sakuraba's usual "prog rock without guitars", but just as usual that moved to a somewhat different style. I wouldn't dare to label this as prog or experimental, but definitively not sticking to any plain standard either. There are some flutes and piano melodies, and while kinda chaotic it's...

We all know the story and myth of Icarus, right? That guy who pretended to fly too high and his wings burnt, collapsing to the floor Before doing any research, I just though of a title like "Icarus syndrome" to talk about an attitude I see too often everywhere. Basically the pretension to aim too high and that ambition eventually ending with you. Not gonna lie; I noticed some shades of this even i...

In a way this can be considered as "a Soundcloud-exclusive" track, since it combines both intro and first track of my recent album/EP/demo/whatever, "A Third Placeholder", as one track. And believe it or not, but the piano intro was performed by an actual cat! She was sitting on my own tiny MIDI keyboard and I just had the idea of recording whatever MIDI input comes from her moving around. It was...

Just a simple electronic tune with ambient elements. Initially done in 1 hour for a weekly compo and some work was later added, but technically still unfinished. Just enough to show the basic idea, at least.

An original synth/MIDI metal song. Inspired by a weird dream I once had involving a door in a rented apartment that led to a mysterious, colorful open world full of fantastic creatures and extravagant, lively vegetation. Musically it may sound a lot like a videogame soundtrack, but that's more coincidence than intentional, since I simply love music and games and music from games! All started with...

In The Earthen Womb (Illusion of Gaia) feat. Hyper Light Drummer, Jett Swole, Jillian M, krobonil, Triple B Music by Unknown Pseudoartist

Watch the video for this song (ruined version): https://youtu.be/fH0QS_JKMD8 [en español abajo] Manolo Escobar was a spanish singer of andalusian copla, rumba, pasodoble and other typical spanish styles of the time. This song specifically talks about one of the biggest mysteries in the modern Spain mythology: where is Manolo's "carro" (traction carriage, not car)? Who dared to stole him? Today, De...

Here we go with another of my original tunes for my March 2024 mini-album, "The Placeholder of Something"! This time the intention was to make something brutal and agressive inspired by black metal, along with the usual short intro. I don't think this sounds very much like black metal, but more like... I dunno what this thing is, actually. All instruments are MIDI and programmed by myself. No AI,...

Here we go with another attempt of original tune! This one is a lot more electronic than my usual, while still having some common elements of my stuff, like the (not necessarily intentional but "just happens") dark atmosphere. The inspiration came after some person -who prefers to stay anonymous- posted an audio recording of the sound their router was doing, which somewhat reminds to upbeat or har...

I was totally careless about self-promo, but 1 month ago, for April Fools, I released an album of original tunes, and here comes the first one. You can download/stream the full mini-album/EP here: https://unknownpseudoartist.bandcamp.com/album/the-placeholder-of-something Musically I'd define that as (very) synth metal with my usual diversity of influences from both inside and outside metal. I hav...

Second track from my short mini-album / EP of original tunes. 100% MIDI, no real instruments played. Done with no more pretensions than just composing something and having fun with it. The initial intention was more of a classic hard rock tune somewhat inspired by Black Sabbath's Paranoid, including some attempt of characteristic riff. Can't say it went that well, but still I think it works as a s...

Here we go with another track from my synth metal original mini-EP, "The placeholder of something". This one was initially started with the plan to be musically closer to funk, and the title was meant to be "Funking Shirt". However, as usual this mutated into a totally different thing. I don't even know how to define this in term of music genre or style. Just weird stuff. I soon noticed this song...

Yet another attempt of original music composition. Just some weird, nonsensical thing I guess I could call as Synth Speed Metal, nothing pretentious. No real instruments played, so it'll sound "very midi-ish". No AI or any similar bullshit used.

Just a simple and short outro for my original EP, "The placeholder of Something". Reusing a couple melodies from the album's first track to connect both intro and outro.
