still trying to put forth my best effort here(using VCV for the first time ever.. loaded as VSTs in Renoise)
...but...feeling eerie yet angsty these days... mad
fighting a hopeless kind of depression...
not meaning to complain, tho(so many in the world facing far worse than me right now), just being transparent here as a kind of 'heads up'... to everyone: keep your heads up and your hearts open heart

First and foremost, please take care of yourself, depression fucking sucks.

That moment around 1:19 or so ... dope af... That glitch also owns, damn and the heavy ass banging shit, too. So, so good...

That bass at 2:52:

These days are taking its toll for sure, keep your head up, loved the glitchy drums. I have been tempted to give renoise a try and haven't played around with the latest VCV rack, great track!

this is awesome man, keep it up!

The drums are awesome, and it’s all structured really cool throughout. Love the tremolo guitar stuff, once again! I hope u feel better, feeling like that sucks

sometimes i feel like i need Aragorn to shake me and tell me this:

wishing you some peace

This is really cool. Really like the warped/bending sounding bells. So sick!

really proud of you for fighting back the depression with art.  it's really a beautiful thing.

also awesome to know someone who can make Gantz/Graf level visuals!

Thanks for being open about where you're at. I hear you. I'm sorry you've had to experience it.

This is a super compelling track. Love the wonky bells and the way they intermingle when the extra layer comes in around one minute, then the stunning shift to darker territory. Awesome drum programming. Love the way the track develops over time.

Thank You All So Very Much! (almost forgot to reply to this thread, ha... really nice to look over these older threads having gotten through my slight slump already: meditating and exercising everyday has gotten me back to feeling resilient again)... Thanks again! Much Love heart
