These are most of the SoundCloud tracks I reposted in 2023. There's no quick way to create this, I had to scroll through all my "likes" and find the ones I reposted as well. Probably missed some, sorry! I limited artists that I reposted more than once to one track on the playlist. If you hear a track on this list you really like, check out that artist, they probably have more stuff you'll enjoy!

Such GREAT STUFF! We truly are providing an alternative here on SoundCloud, us unsigned, "unknown" artists. Thanks for sharing your music and keep it up in 2024!

Night Becomes Your Truth

This song is dedicated to 'Lucky'...my little furry friend...

My Little Furry Friend

Open your eyes, listen to me
You have been dreamin'
the world has taken a turn of turns
leavin' us all shakin'

If you can hear me, it's time to rise
If you can see me, it's time to think
Whatever you do, just open your eyes
You must leave the dream state

You cannot escape if you're in dreams
You cannot regain what's been lost
Whatever you do, just, see through the lies
You will soon learn the cost

If you can hear me, it's time to rise
If you can see me, it's time to think
Whatever you do, just open your eyes
You must leave the dreams state

If you can hear me, just, open your eyes
You must leave your dreams state
If you can see me, it's time to rise
You must leave your dreams state
Open your eyes, time to rise
Open your eyes, time to rise

Open your eyes, time to rise
Open your eyes, time to rise
Open your eyes, time to rise

Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up

Dream State

Wily Pitz'23 is the retake of purist punky style single Willy Pitz from May 2020.
It makes its powerful comeback in September 2023.

In collaboration with the incredible talents of Slovenian Blaž Pavšič, Uroš Mohorič, and Gregor Alič we gave to Willy Pitz the completely new sound which makes one totally blew away and make your chin hits the floor.

The story remains the same - single living Swiss who is just trying to survive his live and one day he vanish without being noticed by anyone - but it is packed in new portion of energy where the punky essence of the original meets a whole new level of rock awesomeness.

Pure Passion - Heart Version

Skulls by The Misfits
by Glen Danzig

Corpses all hanging headless and limp
Bodies with no surprises
The blood drains down like the devil's rain
We'll bathe tonight

I want your skull
I need your skull

Demon I am and face I peel
See your skin turned inside out
'Cause I've gotta have you on my wall
Gotta have you on my wall, 'cause

I want your skull
I need your skull

Collect the heads of little girls, and
Put 'em on my wall
Hack the heads off little girls, and
Put 'em on my wall

I want your skull
I need your skull

Skulls (Cover)

"Falling For You" invites you on a journey through the blissful realm of newfound love. This experimental three-act composition transforms raw emotions into a euphoric sonic experience. With rhythmic finesse, it captures the essence of falling in love for the first time, delivering a unique musical narrative that resonates with the listener's own romantic journey.

Falling For You

Immerse yourself in Siegfried Jünger's 'Solitude's Cold Embrace,' a dark ambient masterpiece that seamlessly blends ambient, electronic, and experimental elements. Jünger's artistry shines through the hypnotic journey, where haunting echoes of dark ambient music and the mesmerizing allure of drone guide you into an intricate soundscape. Influences of industrial music and rhythmic synth pulses add complexity, creating an otherworldly atmosphere. The track's structure, with nods to noise music, introduces an edgy and unpredictable dimension to the composition, enhanced by the use of synthesizer and modular synth, contributing to the overall dark music aesthetic.

Beyond a mere musical piece, 'Solitude's Cold Embrace' is a transformative sonic experience that transcends genres. Jünger crafts a profound exploration of introspection, resonating with solitude through evocative artistry. This dark ambient odyssey, enriched by intricate sound design, positions Jünger as a visionary in the realm of experimental and ambient music.

As The Storm To The Sea

Solitude's Cold Embrace

Solitude's Cold Embrace by Siegfried Jünger dark ambient soundtrack

I used polyrhythm with strings in triple meter and drums in simple meter for the verses. Just like that song  in 1975. More creative uses of this to follow. Also used a quartile chord found in ‘So What’. There’s a walking bass line and it is also the first to feature piano voicings that make for easier bass lines. 

Co production (cool sound effect in intro),drum editing, drum fills and instrumental mix from Blaz @a7-recording-studio

Lyrically, it is stream of consciousness with a few lines edited to rhyme. It was supposed to be about finding inner peace but I only ended up with one line about that. I am not tortured but someone else might be. Hope is a good thing. Not based on the novel with the same name as I have never read it.



I would like to thank my family (especially my parents and sister), Jinn (weren’t for her listening to the songs not sure I would have returned after a 1 year hiatus), my friends, the parents and students that I have taught (“I have been touched by your kids. And I'm pretty sure that I've touched them”), all of my teachers and the teachers for that compliment at Hulu (it’s an honor), and my listeners.

2 Quotes.
Past year has been busy with no days off. I’ve started jogging for 30 minutes and last year I finished Macroeconomics on Khan’s Academy. This year I’m onto Unit 8 of his Finance & Capital Course. I’ve gone on 2 week long business trips to Thailand and Malaysia. Since I am in this field I decided to see if I could pick up my mental maths. 

It reminds me of a quote that an Indian boy replied when asked, “what are your weaknesses?” at a job interview.

He replied, “I don’t have any weaknesses. My greatest asset is turning my weaknesses into my strengths.” 

For the longest time I thought it was a good reply but didn’t think it was possible. 
So I did some research online and all of the quant traders were using either rankyourbrain or zetamac. 
2 minute long sessions. Since rankyourbrain shut down I will only list my scores for zetamac. I began around the 40’s which was actually a ‘decent’ score by international standards.  I’d memorize the ones that I took a bit longer on and go over them daily.Then after about 20 minutes each day on both websites (2 sets of default zetamac questions) I started seeing improvement after 3 weeks. And now, I have a high score of 79 which puts me 12 points off from a rubiks cube whiz who posted his score on Youtube. If you had told me that I would be only 12 points off at the start I would have called it a miracle. Going from below average at something to above average. But, ‘miracles’ do happen like those Mexican teachers who rescue a whole class of failing students. And, there are guys who started off scoring 20’s on zetamac going on to score 90’s. And, a woman who is now a quant trader who bought elementary math books to work on. 

2 schools of thought.
“Take it easy man.”
“Sometimes the hardest thing to do and the right thing to do are often the same thing.” - Alfred

I think people don’t really pick one and live by it and its more of a mixture. So, I would encourage you to find something you think you’re bad at and work on it.
I know.
“Numbers isn’t my thing.”
I used to feel the same way. In the beginning you’ll experience frustration and disappointment. But confidence isn’t the lack of those thoughts but having those thoughts and still working through it. Keep at it and you will experience this feeling of joy that is usually not associated with maths. For only 4 mins a day. Free. A chance to see what your mind has tricked you into thinking you suck at. 

And when you do improve just remember that it is only mental maths, a very small portion of what maths actually is.



The other quote I really liked was:
“ I don't even care if they respect me. I know who I am. I've got enough respect for myself.”

An early Merry Christmas and happy new year to you all!

Chronicles of the North

Valkryrie

Spotify

Valkyrie Prod. and composed by Nomax

The snow is fallin' on Christmas Eve
And I'm walkin down familiar streets
Warm food waits for me at home
Right now I'm happy just to feel the snow

But when we get back you'll be there
Smilin' at me from atop the stairs
The lights are glowing all around the place
A loving feeling resting on your face
This is your homemade Christmas
This is your homemade Christmas

Now I know where our home exists
It took awhile but I can admit
Not a place but it's all our own
Anywhere I'm with you, we're not alone

Presents and family are miles away
Along with memories of Christmas days
But we're together and that's all I need
warm on a homemade Christmas Eve...
This is your homemade Christmas
This is your homemade Christmas

All the promises that we have kept
replace the shiny new store bought gifts
The days ahead that we now see
Can't be wrapped under a Christmas tree...

The winter deepens in the frosty days
And glowing fires still keep me amazed
Inside our home's everything we need
When you wake up next to me...
On our homemade Christmas
On our homemade Christmas

Your Homemade Christmas

I sway, like a leaf, in, the autumn breeze
I fall, verdant green, feeling so serene

Crimson, golden red, remember those words she said
And I, will have tonight, to hold your arms in mine
Yes, I will have tonight, to hold your arms in mine

UNDERGROUND
A Tribute to Metallica's Kill'Em All Phase
Music by Overdrive

Check out the IG promo video:
https://www.instagram.com/p/C2AFHGkOJG7/

This is an original track inspired by Metallica's Kill'Em All phase, which features James Hetfield's AI-generated vocals. It's a non-commercial/experimental track made as a tribute to the band and created under the fair use permission of copyright statute.

The use of AI-generated vocals is still a source of much controversy and heated discussion. I've been following the issue closely since the beginning of 2023, when French DJ David Guetta replicated the voice of American rapper Eminem during a concert, causing a wave of immense buzz about it.

Also in early 2023, the track "Heart on My Sleeve", which used AI-generated vocals from Canadian rappers Drake and The Weeknd, went viral before being taken down by streaming services. 

In September, John Lennon's voice was removed from a demo tape recorded in 1978. The poor quality audio was processed with AI for a new Beatles recording, giving rise to the song "Now & Then".

During this period, there was an eruption of websites focused on voice cloning, which, in October 2023, led RIAA to request the inclusion of such websites on the government's piracy watchlist -- and the main target became Vocify.ai. 

On the other hand, Aditya Bansal, a 20-year-old UK student who founded Vocify.ai, claims that several record companies have already contacted him wanting to make models of their own artists for demo tracks, "as drafts before the full recording process".

As MusicBusiness rightly pointed out, "major record companies hate AI voice-cloning platforms that don't pay".

I myself have had some very interesting personal experiences on the subject. A demo track of "Underground" was posted on a Discord server dedicated to vocaloids and synthesized vocals. The track was deleted less than 24 hours later by the moderator, who made a point of publicly censoring me on the open channel, stating that he didn't accept what he called "unethical" methods. I tried to explain that it was an experimental track, with no commercial purpose; that it was made as a tribute; that I had also sent the link directly to the band on their official Metallica Instagram, and so on. But the mere act of replying got me summarily kicked off the server.

I honestly believe that merely using tools like Voicify.ai and Kits.ai is not an unethical activity when the aim is to test the potential of a new technology. And the track "Underground" worked exactly as an experiment. It taught me that AI-cloned vocals need a lot of filters on the daw to mask defects derived from the cloning process. It served to show that the quantity of examples provided during the training of the AI is essential for improving the quality of the model. It served to show that training the model is better with vocals recorded in mono than with vocals in stereo; better with vocals recorded dry than recorded with reverb; and so on.

Moreover, I'm particularly happy with the AI-generated commercial voices I already use with Synthesizer V software, so I have no intention of replacing them with cloned voices of famous singers.

Hopefully, this small initiative will at least serve to dispel a little of the immense prejudice that has arisen around a technology that will soon become commonplace in the music industry. Nowadays, no one remembers all the controversy caused by the emergence of radio, when record company managers boasted that no one would buy albums anymore. It's the same story every time a new technology emerges.

Hope you enjoy the track.

TECH TRIVIA
* The guitar solos were assembled from multiple pieces of isolated audios of Kirk Hammett's solos available on YT.

* The rhythm guitars and the bass are Kontakt libraries. 

* The original vocals were created in Synthesizer V with NineZero voicebank. The NineZero's isolated audio was then converted into James Hetfield's vocals.

In a world where we all live with broken dreams,
Through the storms we will walk, legs shackled in chains
With fiery eyes, Uncontrollable rage
Still defiance in faces. Our souls are still wild
With passionate cries, we fight for our places
We’ve seen all the signs, we’ve seen all the signs
Chorus
Oh, we’re floating through fire. Our hearts are on fire, we’re holding on
We carry on, nothing controls us.
We’re floating through fire. Our hearts are on fire, we’re holding on.
We’re holding on. We carry on. Nothing controls us
Floating through fire. Floating through fire. We carry on, floating through fire.
We carry on.
Bridge
Oooooh. Ooooh. Oooooh, OOOOH
We’ll be holding on with fire in our eyes.
We’ll be fighting on with fire in our hearts
We’ll be floating on, onto paradise
We’ll be holding on, onto paradise
We’ll Carry on
Chorus
Oh, we’re floating through fire. Our hearts are on fire, we’re holding on
We carry on, nothing controls us.
We’re floating through fire. Our hearts are on fire, we’re holding on.
We’re holding on. We carry on. Nothing controls us
Floating through fire. Floating through fire. We carry on, floating through fire.
We carry on.

From the live houses of the Jing to busking in tunnels (Granted, the 33.3% donation rate was based on the fact that he had removed his stifling white collar shirt and was dancing bare chested) in Singapore, Psychedelic Revolution (aka Psyche Rev) is a one man project that likes most things such as alt r&b and alt rock. Made it as a semi finalist in 'Song of the Year' competition in 2022 with his song 'Cassius.' Finalist in 2023 with 'We'll Go Down.' Finalist in 2024 with 'Sigh' and also taking semi finalist positions with 'Heartbeats & Inner Turmoil' and 'You Had Me'. Finalist in 2025 with 'Cold Cold Storm' and semi finalist with 'So Typical.' Tastes like Kung Pao Chicken. Looks like a cross between Brag Pitt and Heath Leather. Smells like team spirit. Feels like baby powder. Oh the music. Yeah, it sounds good.
