I haven't created and complete a new original track in 2 months. I did recreate Shadowed Streets, but that was it. Just a recreation and touch up on an old track. There are three things stopping me:
1: I've got into a bad habit of overcomplicating projects, realising they are too congested and then flat out abandoning entire ideas.
2: I've been lacking inspiration.
3: I've been procrastinating. Pretty badly. :P

Anyway, I decided to just keep things simple with this track for a change. It's a bit of Glitch. A bit of Trap. But I think it mainly leans towards chill out. Or maybe trip-hop. It's pretty relaxing.

Enjoy, as always. :)

Blurred Dreams

I decided to create a little cover of the theme of Cave Story in FamiTracker to get used to the workflow of trackers as opposed to DAWs and to pay homage to one of my favourite video games of all time.
So this is how the theme would sound on the Famicom (Japan's NES) with the Famicom Disk System.

I hope you enjoy. :)

Original theme by Daisuke Amaya (known as 'Pixel' by his fans)

Pixel - Cave Story Theme (Ethereal Psyche FamiTracker Cover)

I've been getting more used to the feel of using trackers lately so I thought I'd give Renoise a go and create a simple, short remix to further refine my skills and get more used to the workflow.

I decided on this as a friend thought I couldn't make as good a remix as the one he listened to that someone else did so I kinda challenged him on that. Haha. :) All good fun.

Enjoy. There's a little skip somewhere in the early parts of the song. I was using REAPER to record the output of the stereo bus as the demo version of Renoise doesn't allow rendering. I will absolutely buy the software whenever possible though. Incredible tracker/DAW hybrid. Perfectly suits me!

Harold Faltermeyer - Axel F (Ethereal Psyche Remix)

Why does the Undertale soundtrack have to be so darn good!? ;_; Couldn't resist trying to recreate 'Nyeh Heh Heh' (otherwise known as Papyrus' Theme) in FamiTracker.

N Y E H   H E H   H E H ! ! !

Tobyfox - Nyeh Heh Heh (Ethereal Psyche FamiTracker Cover)

I already did 'Nyeh Heh Heh' so I thought I might as well do Bonetrousle by building upon it.
After all... it is the theme of the great papyrus.

Enjoy!
NYEH HEH HEH!!!

Tobyfox - Bonetrousle (Ethereal Psyche FamiTracker Cover)

This is a small composition I composed for a college assignment. Thought I'd share this one as well.

Enjoy!

Ethereal Psyche - Silence

This is a Trance track I composed for a college assignment, but I felt like sharing it.

I used Pro Tools 9 with only the stock plugins available. Quite a bit of Vacuum was used in this. All patches created myself from scratch. Also used Boom or Structure Free for drums (can't remember which one). 

Enjoy!

Ethereal Psyche - Heartbeat

This was my submission for Chiptunes = Win Volume 5. I had it on here during the submission period as a private track so I could get feedback from a few friends on it. I never made it on the release anyway because people are too goddamn badass and I rushed this track a bit but anyway... here ya go.

Enjoy. :D

Sorrow

I was bored.
I made this cover.
I put little effort into it.
I do not own RHCP's song obviously.
This is just a cover.
Blah blah blah.
Enjoy.
:3

RHCP - Can't Stop (Ethereal Psyche's Lazy Chiptune Cover)

My own little take on Jredd's groovy track 'PSG Strut'.

Here is a link to the NSF file. :)

Jredd - PSG Strut (Ethereal Psyche's 2A03 Cover)

Just did a small touch up on Nebula and extended it a bit so it's not too short. I originally uploaded Nebula 4 months ago, but anyway here you go.

Enjoy. :)

Ethereal Psyche - Nebula

I've finally finished it. The Trance track that I feel is my absolute best yet, and hey! I managed to squeeze in some chiptune elements. :D

I... I don't know what else to really say. :-|
Please have a listen.
Thank you. :D

I also have it over on Bandcamp.

Ethereal Psyche - Pulse

This is the track I created for the recent Chiptunes 4 Autism charity album. This version has been mastered for the release.

Hope you enjoy it! If you like it, please consider listening to the rest of the album and buying the album on Bandcamp. It's only $6 and it goes to charities empowering those on the autistic spectrum and raising awareness and understanding. :)

A Relaxing Thing I'm Working On

I was bored so I did a mini cover of a remix.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Virtue & Slammer - Don't Go (Gammer Remix) Ethereal Psyche Mini LSDj Cover

This is a track with some positive groovy vibes. Quite different from what I usually do, so it has been fun delving into this different style of music. :) 
1xLSDj track, created on and recorded from a DMG (original Gameboy). 

Enjoy! :D

It's also over on my Bandcamp downloadable for free. You can support me or not. I'm just happy to share my music and appreciate every listen. :)

Ethereal Psyche - Living

This... is turning out harder than expected. Pretty much all channels are used up at this point. :-|

Deus Ex - Unatco (Possible WIP - Arcade YM2151 + PCM - Made in Deflemask)

Still can't finish it.
This is the first public preview of it. Not that it matters. I can't get it to sound how I want. This is the most frustrating project I've worked on.

A Trance Track I STILL Can't Finish. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Just a quick little sketch of something I might do for that LSDj 40 BPM challenge.

Ethereal Psyche - LSDj 40 BPM Challenge Track Possible WIP

Still need to think of a name as well.
Either way, I will be rendering it again when I'm ready as I've got a few mistakes to fix. Then I guess I can say it's complete.
I never can wait to share. haha

A Trance Track I May Have Finished, Not Sure Yet

A raw render, straight from my Game Boy running LSDj.
Chill trance track I made sometime last year or so but never got around to putting it out there.
Here it is I guess.

Ethereal Psyche - Emotional (RAW Render)

I am Ethereal Psyche (known as Connor Hoban IRL). I started composing original music March 2014.
I am a composer, passionate musician and producer who loves music in many forms with it's beautiful diversity, limitless complexity and euphoric flow of emotions. Whether it is simple and bouncy like a rubber ball, or complex and layered like a macchiato, there is something to be appreciated in all forms of music. I adore exploring the vast depths of music and adding my own human touch.
I've been creating original electronic music since March 2014, with my first experiences dabbling in creating electronic music being around February 2014.

My own music has influences from artists such as Paul Van Dyk, Ferry Corsten, Dada Life, INS4NE CHORD彡, deadmau5, Alex M.O.R.P.H, Ernesto, Bastian and Tavetti, to name a few.

My philosophy of music is based around blissful melodies, interesting (and usually uplifting) chord progressions often balancing majors and minors to define a mood, the little bits in the background that fill the space and interesting drum rhythms.

As a generalisation, I usually compose and produce Trance music, though I do explore quite a bit outside of it too. This genre of music is very much underrated in our modern age of music where commercialism has become a woeful storm.
I invite you to listen to some of my Trance music in particular, as you might find you enjoy this genre as well, which is heavily influenced by Classical music.
I would consider Uplifting Trance the dancable, electronic, modern counterpart of Classical music.

Please do browse through some of my compositions and enjoy the music, for it is a gift to be shared. :)
