I hope some of you enjoy this game-like electronic music,
It makes me happy to know some enjoy the odd flavors I have presented as authentic.
I'm also intrigued by many people with interest in the same topics,
I find many people here quite atmospheric.

There's a lot to hear and see everyday.

I love many people's music,
There's some who master the lyrics,
A few who are also poetic,
And even some who just fantastic.

By the way...

I can officially commission music!
Maybe I was looking for something enthusiastic,
I hope the experience will be fantastic,
I have to make sure I'm extra elastic.

Interested in hiring me in some way?

Just message me, 
I'll definitely see.
Now I'll let you be,
See you across the sea!

The second attempt to perform Esta Noche de Luna in my translation into Russian. This time I used a fragment of the "backing track" of the orchestra of the 30s. I hope now I was able to better convey the atmosphere of that era ...

Tom (https://soundcloud.com/tom-2020) and I now present track 2 in our collaborative album in progress "La belle et le loup, ou Les loups du Gévaudan" (2023), or in English translation "Beauty and the Beast, or The Wolves of Gevaudan").

The song was created in collaboration on 4 October 2023 (initial composition, recording, arrangement and mix in MAGIX by Tom), 10 October 2023 (additional instruments, melodies and sound effects, recording and arrangement in GarageBand and Logic Pro, with an intermediate mix in Logic Pro by Alex M), and 11 October 2023 (final additions, arrangements and mix in MAGIX by Tom), and posted here on SoundCloud on 13 October 2023 (by Alex M). We are grateful for the use of vocal samples from the package "Magix Trance - The Vocal Trance" purchased and integrated into the music by Tom.

The artwork cover for the track is based on a photo by Tom of 11 September 2013 that was cropped and annotated in Mac OS Preview by Alex M and Tom in coordination on 8 October 2023.

Duration: 6:20 minutes

La belle et le loup, ou Les loups du Gévaudan 2 - Tom & Alex M

At the end of summer 2024, while recovering from an accident that almost took me out, I threw myself into making my own sounds with my one piece of hardware: the Model:Cycles, an FM synthesizer sequencer groovebox. I started from zero in terms of production chops, spending hours alone during some rough stretches. Anything to sit alongside the tinnitus and the existential dread. During those months, I occasionally posted a few pieces. I didn’t care about perfection. Any seasoned artist might cringe at how basic and simple the work was, and at the fact that I thought it was worth sharing. Thankfully, I don’t give a fuck. I just wanted to put out these “sonic sketches” as a snapshot of what I was feeling during this time and as a marker for what my square one looked like. Some of these sketches (jams really) are muddy and may clip at times. Part of the process I guess?

Eventually, I hit a point where I wanted to explore other moods and more complex forms of production. That felt like the end of an era. I made my own sound without copying anyone or taking any shortcuts. Just me jamming on a sequencer. With that in mind, and knowing full well that Spotify has become the fast food of music, I deleted all my early releases from the app and everywhere else. I’ve compiled my favorite sketches from the past 14 months into this EP. The end of a chapter, but something small and meaningful to me.

Hey, my name's ChocoYoki
Changing up the tones of what feels lonely.
I'm always out trying to fly,
Doing my best and not asking, "why?"

My rythm is intangible, some consider it unmanageable.
I'm genreless, but still on the list.
Making music on a whim, just a small swim,
A little shy, but not a small fry.
Love to train, no pain equals no gain,
Overthinking, but never quitting,
Likes ramen, maybe that's uncommon.

I'm self-taught when it comes to the DAWs,
Wish I knew how to make the good sauce,
Played some many years of piano,
Just making random imaginary audio,
Followed by endless poems, 
Riddles just for Holmes,
A bit of my odd stories, 
Maybe even some random allegories.

I make some music for friends,
I wanna be good by the time I reach The Ends,
Pushing forward without any rends,
Rising up to encourage good amends.
Wants to change everyone's world,
While still trying to become unfurled.
