I am a software developer. I am working on some games to be released on Steam. I already created the original soundtracks for those while the rest takes more time.
I started releasing some demo tracks on my Soundcloud account. (I know no pictures there yet. I will add some later on)
These and any more demo tracks I would release are different from the albums tracks I will release only after having completed the games I will publish on Steam ASAP.
These are just to show what I can do and what I am working on.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I do not claim to make trance anymore, I quit in 2012 because I felt confused by where the trance scene was going.  Music, and trance, grew and more progressive and house started to take over, and in 2012, trap was coming alive, in my opinion. I quit and published what I had through RouteNote (free), and took a break for years until I found Sidewalks and Skeletons Bandcamp music album "WHITE LIGHT".  Listened to the whole entire CD start to finish, either the first time I heard it, or as soon as I possibly could. 
  Mesmerized by @SidewalksAndSkeletons musical productions and collabs.  I knew then, after finding S&S's music, I could start to make music again possibly.  So, 5 or 6 months later and I still listened to 'WHITE LIGHT', and his earlier albums which are just as good, and inspirational. So I find myself spending sessions in front of the computer, matching tracks together in a text file and producing my witch house lil' trax.

#electronic i have been listening since the 90's trance was around, like some of the major artists in the world. alot of electronic music was found on the internet and freely available, just like now today we have even more options, which I think we don't have that problem of finding enough music.  Alot of things that were unusual to us in the 1990's became integrated into society later on (for example, the internet.)  And completely normal, so normal, that you don't even notice we are becoming our past.  And we have the present, and future.  We have our inwards self, and our outwards self.  Inward self and outward self can mix together.  Outwards self can influence you.  So much that you maybe don't notice.  Don't let an obstacle in life make you feel bad.  You're probably just human.  We all have valid thoughts, be with those who can validate your emotions which is actually what a thought is in my opinion, and try not to hold on unless you're really sure.  'Let go' like gabriel and dresden say.  Ask yourself often if this is really what you want.  You can find the answers right where you are. you can learn from where you went, and in the future, where you'll go.  Within.  Not from other people, unless you really want to depend on them.

ok now let's take switching side to music again:

#witchhouse - underground genre.  rumors about how it started, but can mean a variety of music that has a community that has grown.  xm0rtal has been visiting my SC for 6 years without any sign of me.  the community cares about people, and do not worry what people are doing for money.  some record labels are, for example, NIGH† †ERRORS, which I would recommend for true witch house.  link to  ᑡlepsydra on NIGH† †ERRORS Music Label: https://nightterrorsmusiclabel.bandcamp.com/ 
and hi i'm on fl studio, recommended by ᑡlepsydra himself for making witch house. no plans right now to make any more, kind of how this has been going with my uploads to SC).  my thought right now is that i might work on something original, i'm flip-flopping. How could these albums exist for years and don't get buy up? it's good music but witch house never went viral maybe because of the name and what comes with a name that upsets the average person.  i think most are afraid of death, we think we know, but in the face of death, I can't handle.  i'm always working on challenging myself to get better through practicing every day or imagine creating something a new way, different from before.  right now i'm wishing i used my imagination more, I have no idea what I meant when I said that, but don't disregard what I have to say.  What I have to say is important, and I am often left to myself and isolating so that i absorb the negative energy, instead of letting it out in a healthy manner, like somebody who is emotionally patient, kind, understanding, always teaching, never asking, taking lots of breaks that don't have negative emotions.  And so the lie about people helping others.  You can help yourself.  That's your responsibility.  Or else I lose my responsibility.    i don't really go on the internet that much, i get bored easy.  i don't understand the internet much these days, must be my age getting to me.

#experimental - my idea to say this.i dropped out of high school in 10th grade, so alot of what i know is incomplete.  school is completely necessary for (a continued) success. i'm from an abusive alcoholic home in texas, so i had to deal with other things when I grew up like helping people when it's not my fault.  I mean, nobody needs my help because I don't have much to offer.  I'm trying to convince myself it was a lie that I could help somebody.  But my brain is definitely stuck in the same cycles over and over.  Instead of having the energy to do something for myself, what a rip off.  Don't start using drugs if you haven't tried.  Or you won't be able to get out of it.  unless you lie, which i don't recommend.

#idontmatchup - you can do anything you put your mind to.  why waste time talking about insecurities when you could have spent that time doing something you planned for.  practice a skill that's fun to learn every day for 10 - 15 minutes, and don't let anything traumatic force you to keep going.  If you're gaming for 10 minutes, don't let your character lose a life.  if things don't go your way, just stop your gaming and wait until the following day.  that's how i handled all this.  unfortunately, i lost all my credibility in my country and what I know is very quiet.  people here shout at me when i ask them a question if everything's ok, and they make me repeat myself because they think i don't understand, i'm a rare breed.  And they repeat themselves to me.  i hate this country because people are hateful in the united states of america and it only causes more.  i find out that everybody hates.  i was addicted to MMORPG when I was a teenager.  I quit.  I played many games.  and i got sick of it by the time i was 18. working on finding girlfriend, became my interest at age 18 (and onward).  In my 30's I no longer had the energy to be in my programming job and I wanted to become a social talking butterfly.  So now I like to avoid isolating and people that push me into depression or using narcotic substances.  Even being out here at 38 I don't really understand much about society.  All I care about is drinking myself to death.  Addiction gets worse as time goes on.  good thing i'm not doing that right now.  what would you like me to share with you?  If you don't, that's okay.  Just blame me, close the page, and never worry about it again.

#trancefamily An old hashtag from some place called .. a state of trance by armin van buuren.  Through my 20's I worked and used that money to go to parties on the weekend for about $20, and visit hollywood on saturdays at a club called the circus disco.  long time ago.  I'm 38 now, something always bad happens every year I hope nothing bad will happen this year. hope can be a strong word sometimes.  mean what you say and do.  try to take responsibility in your hands, before somebody else takes it away.  People can build you up, and break you down, you have to decide which one you want in the united states of America.  unfortunately, the English spoken in the united states of america can be much more narcissistic than other countries.

#kvltwave - i think it speaks for itself.  i didn't really plan on keeping this topic, and i don't have any pressure to keep it going.  going for so long.  i'm just one day at a time.  nothing more, nothing less.  anything else is..kind of a lie.  clockwork orange was a good example.  I'm still surprised how many views I got on that, and that I was still unhappy with how much traffic I got.  Not true, the community cares about people.  when i'm writing kvltwave, i like to make it scary. I don't usually plan all my tracks.  now that i think of it, it's the kvltwaves that i plan ahead of time, the sunrise projection that are my favorite, and josh is surprised somebody likes him.

#haveconfidence - know whats up before it happens, plan accordingly.  If you don't plan, you will lose.  And if you do plan ahead, you have to carry that responsibility with you, and likely only you are interested and likely have been rejected, so you have to be your own boss.  a lot to life's mistakes.

Thank you for choosing to visit your local witch house shop, we have free music and no cookies, couldn't afford them.  please follow if you want to hear new music.  It's just me.  I could collab but it would probably have alot of mistakes.  The skills i use to make music are often things that i find useful to me.  AI has been a big help, and in asking a little more detailed questions, seems to be ok then.

Hope Disrupted is an electronic project branching out into genres like dark ambient, techno, experimental noise, downtempo and post-punk.
