Tense Atmosphere

Horror Synth, Electronics and Industrial celebrations of Sleazoid Cinema and EBM Grooves!

I started playing Piano in my childhood and developed an interest in electronic music production. 20 years ago, this was basic MIDI with sound fonts. After a break, I revived my interest in producing and composing. This is my music. Feedback is appreciated. 

All tracks written, recorded, programmed, mixed and mastered  by Douwe van der Boon; Mainly hardware instruments are used. Recording and mixing in Ableton Live 12 Suite; Mastering with Izotope Ozone 8 Advanced

Feel free to download and use my music. If you want to use it, please let me know!

love the dark, sad, experimental and hazy side of things, hypnotic loops and damaged sounds. massive horror geek. not without a sense of humour. partner in crime with Shelley and Loren.

if you're questioning why or how i'm able to upload on a frequent basis, simply put - i have A LOT of time on my hands at this point in my existence, a wealth of music/sounds to draw upon, and a decent collection of software to make things (e.g. both the synth and fx arturia vst collections). i'm not just auto-generating ai pieces ad nauseum, at the same time i have nothing against using ai in the creative process, but not as an outright replacement for creation. i really think the witch hunt over it all is a bit ridiculous, fueled by the greed pig corporate media companies mostly. 

one thing i've learned about making at least a little bit of money from streaming my music beyond measley penny scraps, i have to upload frequently and i've been experimenting with reuploading/reposting my tracks for better play counts (for now), if even it only results in cutting costs.
