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...

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...

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...

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.

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,...
