I remember going on a bike and bus ride on a nice cloudy and cool September afternoon in Portland. Lovely memory. Thank you for making this! Also the cover is really beautiful
Sir Griffiths, is this you!? A remarkable album!! Just got hooked on the last piece... calm, melancholic, stoic... tears of joy or so.... thanks for sharing this with us - all the best to you - bless
I keep getting recommendations for Dungeon Synth on my feed (or rather I did for a while at one point) and I recall that judging from the couple that I decided to try I couldn't determine what aspect of it merited a new genre name. Perhaps I will look at the Wikipedia article today and learn me a thing or two!
I specifically popped into the comments section to say how charming all of these titles are! I imagine they all likely have some neat stories attached to them.
hi, my issue with spotify is that I have to pay to put it on there, at the moment I think it's something like $30 for an album. Then any streaming income (which would normally be a few pennies) now all goes to the big players as Spotify will only be paying out those tracks with something like 2,000 streams. So basically I would be spending my money and then watching the money go in to the pockets of Spotify and Sony. I am still considering doing that but every time I read another independent musicians rant about Spotify it strengthens my resolve not to.

hi, hopefully I'm understanding your question. The answer is it seems a real challenge and in my case I don't really know. I have YT videos of some music I published via Distrokid and basically there are no views. I put up about 20 videos initially on this channel and it seems that it kicked off the algorithm. Some people came from a site that had effectively pirated my stuff (along with lots of other people's) and that is probably part of it, but there is alot more traffic coming in that could account for. As I say, I hope I'm answering your question, if not, just reply here and I'll see it.
Digging through record label discographies is generally a decent starting point for actively seeking out similar sounding musical voices that go beyond the ones found in the Recommended sections of a video or streaming platform - or the aforementioned bootleg music channels that seem to basically be doing this - and charting out your own magpie constellation of artists and the labels that they release on. That aspect of curation is (especially today) a large part of the value that I perceive from record labels, beyond the more tangible element of coordinated access to and management of distribution (both physical and digital).

This is awesome. Have you ever heard of the sub-genre of music Dungeon Synth? This gives a lot of vibes that a lot of that music does.
thank you, no I hadn't heard of that genre, looking it up now!

Thank you! Subscribing
Thank you too!
Any chance this will be re-released on cd or vinyl?
I don't think so. Electronical Dreams has long packed up and I can't afford a physical release.
how was "her smile"? a very intriguing title. stunning album!
thank you. It was an instrumental version of an old song I wrote in the early 80s.

this is beautiful! would you ever think about releasing this on Spotify?

How do you even find this stuff? I know it’s your music but if not for the algorithm, It seems impossible.
