A weird multi-genre track that starts chill and melancholic and quickly shifts to a festive type of rock/metal. More of rough demo than a finished "product", actually, but the concept is there.

Today is the birthday of my dear kitty friend, Kira. She's 5 years old now, time flies! Just though of doing something impulsive and thoughtless to celebrate in a public way. Here's this weird arrangement of the ubiquitous happy birthday song we all know. Not sure how to define it, but it sounds happy and extreme at once, and weird. I hope you like. Remember to send your cats whenever it's their b...

Hey, it was a long time since my latest upload! The plan was to upload each one of the tracks from my new album/demo each few days or week, and there was still 1 left. This one is an unusually special one for me, because varied reasons: 1. Musically it is VERY different than my usual stuff. A lot more calm and soothe, like you can truly 'feel it' - or so I hope! Probably the most accessible track...

«Nothing to do here, so time to go out of there. Jump! Jump to wherever destiny brings you. No matters where or why. Just leave it all away». Musically just a quick and short tune. Some traces of blues, rock and rock and whatever, not sure how to define this. Not as close to metal as usual, but still full of energy and somewhat positive vibes. Somewhat trying to represent that kind of "all is fine...

Far away from our home land, we start to feel a bit homesick now. Not that we have a place to come back, tho... the beautiful landscapes were filled with concrete and asphalt and barely anything remains from it. Not a single minute of silence and calm anymore. Solastalgia is that painful feeling of missing a home, or not feeling like home even in the same piece of land that once was our home. Not...

Out of all the dark and dangerous stuff, we are starting to truly enjoy the trip and having fun for real. Can you see the fun in the darkness and bizarre stuff, too? There's definitively something about it! I could make up more curious and interesting stories about this track and what it represents, but actually there was not much of deliberate thought into it. Just some circus vibe, odd changes o...

We continue the journey inside that kind of parallel universe we moved into, and things will keep going to the weird side musically as well. Chiptune, orchestra, power metal... there's a lot of varied and apparently disjointed elements here. Synths emulating Gameboy leads and NES bass triangle, guitar chugs that sounds closer to djent, backing strings and choirs, electronic pads... Weird changes o...

Well, we managed to escape the violent and belligerent ship army. But we are in an end path and... oh my... what's that weird halo of dark light in front of us? Looks like some kind of dimensional portal. What if someone jumps straight inside it? Wow! What's this place we are now in? Full of weird and brilliant colors, a long path that looks like an endless tunnel. We can do nothing but keep runni...

Oh, no! Just when we though we'd perish in the middle of the sea, we notice we are surrounded by a whole army of ships. And they don't look like allies who could rescue us, precisely. This situation bring us the well needed energy to try escaping out of there, tho. So now we are in a battle for our own survival. Musically this is pretty stereotypical RPG battle theme vibes. Nothing very unique and...

Oh, the sea... Source of so many stories and legends all around time and around the world. Often admired for its beauty and appearently endless limits, but also damned and cursed at by its deadly dangers. We went past the swamp and moved to a corner in front of the sea and went on the ship to travel around it. Now we are hungry and tired and still no sight of land and no way to know when we'll fin...

We are running to the swamps now! Surrounded by low-level chunks of water and tall trees all around us. A swansong is a term used to describe that moment of lucidity before death, also doing your latest work and giving everything to it. However, we are not swans but we are in the swamps. And technically a song is sung, but this is instrumental so this is more of a tune. So this is a swamptune. Hop...

Things start going weirder now! This is still metal but a weird combination of genres: kinda like mixing sludge and neoclassical. Low-tuned guitar chugs along with high leads in a mid tempo, with a dense atmosphere while still somewhat melodic. The initial intention was to somewhat mimic the sound of fabric throughout music, hence the crunch guitars. In the middle of the process I had multiple ide...

Tired of a lifeless and monotonous daily life in your job? Working hard for so many hours (almost) every day just for the profits of a despot boss who only cares about their profits. You are nothing but a tool that can be replaced when it breaks. This tune somewhat represents this constant frustration and restrained rage. The need to someday scream "that's enough! I'm not your slave!" and break wi...

We continue the journey with another MIDI Metal track is rather simple and straight, but moving a bit further. This time the inspiration comes more from the so-called "doujin" artists from the 2000s. Shameless MIDI metal with a strong emphasis on the synths, lots of speedy riffs and full of energy. With this tune I want to represent that freedom of just being yourself and staying true to your prin...

An original synth metal tune, highly inspired by old Doom or Duke Nukem soundtracks. 100% sequenced MIDI but all manually written (no AI bullshit). Basically an exercise to try some original music stuff for a quick compo. The title used in this upload isn't definitive (well, neither is the music, actually, since this is more of a rough demo), but it's a reference to the full name for the pioneer m...

Oh, the sea... such an immense part of our dear blue planet... yet so full of dangers. With this original composition I tried to express the fear and uncertainty of getting lost in the middle of the wide open oceans, with the extra trouble of being hungry and tired and not knowing when you'll be able to finally reach any firm lands. Really the sea is a massive graveyard, isn't it? Anyways, this is...

A simple and quick experiment to make some raw extreme synth metal oriented track for a 1h compo. All instruments are sequenced and MIDI but manually written. Mixing is nearly unexistent, and the whole process was done in barely half an hour because some technical issues that kept me busy for half the compo time. But still something interesting to show here, I guess.

An original synth metal tune, mostly power metal and happy vibes, like you are flying in freedom with no one bothering you in your trip. Originally done for one of these quick events to make songs in 2 hours. The unexpectedly dark outro somewhat represents how freedom usually involves loneliness as a price. We can't have it all, I guess. The track artwork is a pic taken in one of these rural areas...

An original track originally I did for a community album with many other artists. The theme was about a soundtrack for a videogame based in a mall, commercial center, shop or whatever. I'm too punk and anti-capitalist to actually like this kind of themes, so my ideas were in other directions: from works in strike demanding better conditions, to a bunch of environmental activists protesting for the...

I don't usually upload new music in Soundcloud lately, mostly because I'm too close to reach my limit of total length allowed for a free account. I had to delete some old (and worse) tracks to gain a few more minutes. Since nowadays Soundcloud is pretty much a ghost town anyways, and this place was often used to share rough demos and samplers, just though of occassionally upload some of my new mus...

Watch the video for the ruined version: https://youtu.be/03P54n8aXKc (en español abajo) Surprise!! We go with a totally different thing again. December 28th is very much the spanish equivalent to April Fools, known as "día de los inocentes" in Spain and most of LATAM. Yes, a day to have fun and laughs instead of buying and wasting money, yay! Last year I got use of this day to ruin some old classi...

No Rest for the Nest [Karaoke / TV Size version] by Unknown Pseudoartist

«If you fall 100 times, then rise 101 times.» I heard that sentence many times but honestly I don't know who's the author, and a simple web search brings too many varied results with no clear conclusion. This is also that kind of project that starts as a really small, meaningless thing that somewhat grows deep on us. I just started it as an impulsive moment of inspiration for a simple and straight...

A very low-tuned industrial, electronic synth metal piece. Inspired by the depths of the sea, so production and sound may be a bit weird. Full of crunchy, muffled riffs and electronic drums combined with slightly organic elements and ambiance sounds. Nothing too complex at all. The title is a joke with the famous Deep Purple hit "Smoke on the water" but shares absolutely no similarity with the men...
