   13 barn owls in a trenchcoat (hauntedowlbear@eldritch.cafe)'s status on Wednesday, 19-Nov-2025 06:27:36 JST 13 barn owls in a trenchcoat

   I've released an album!
   Or, possibly, released it for a former self?

   1351 - Fragments and Shatter
   https://1351.bandcamp.com/album/fragments-and-shatter

   It's a time capsule of the early dungeon synth and electronica, variously composed for bands, for computer games and for personal satisfaction between 1994 and 2004.

   We've mostly resisted the urge to fix things, so you can get an idea of how this stuff actually sounded at the time (through a Roland SC-55, to be specific).

   Until stated otherwise, profits from this release will go towards helping out a close friend and collaborator from the US as they relocate a less transphobic country.

     @bazkie thank you and thanks! The artwork is a detail from one of my favourite pieces when I was working with abstract acrylics for a while.

     Probably ought to share the whole thing at some point!

     @bazkie please do! ❤️

     And yeah! I really enjoy a few forms of visual art, but it's mostly something I do for myself.

     I don't practice enough to get really consistently good results, but sonatines I really satisfy myself. :)

     @HauntedOwlbear oh yeah that'd be great! I didn't realize you painted :)

     also dibs on remixing "echoes from the gates of hell" if I may? I like them chords :kirbyjam:

     @duke_of_germany thanks so much!
     Your encouragement definitely played a part in my deciding to retrieve and convert more tracks!
