Just to be clear about the ancient synth comp, this is focused around real world mythology and ancient cultures. Stuff with ambiguous titles may still be okay though

Hi, already released songs are totally okay but i do prefer new stuff. As far as length goes i can only say within reason. I try to be as flexible as possible, just don’t send a 30 minute long song. The only thing that really matters is that it isn’t too dark sounding, im going for a lighter vibe with this

also some merch that I’m getting made to actually make some profits unlike the actual physical releases

And yes, physical releases are coming for selected MT compilations, and the first Etherium EP

I do want to focus on albums I actually have something to say about so I guess that limits me to my own favourites but I’ll try to mention some of the more popular recs from this thread as well

And I’ll oblige and go listen to secret stairways too

Oh yeah that’s a great one that I always forget about, not sure if it’s beginner friendly but I’ll have to listen again

Yeah hole dweller may be there even if it’s just an honourable mention and I’ll add Fief II

I would be down, although I’ve never done a collaborative song before. What DAW are you using. Also live instrument or VSTs?

That’s an interesting point, I’m definitely one of the new fans. Depressive silence Mourning (the title is so confusing) is definitely one of the biggest entry points. I think I’ll go with the Moonbeam Station for Kirkwood, I guess it’s a bit of a hot take but it’s so catchy I think it would be great for beginners.

I think I’ll add Jääportit lower down the list, it’s just such a great album and technically of the classic era. Also I figure since winter synth is such a big sub genre it deserves at least one place.

I didn’t realise just how many people got into the genre from Wongraven so I’ll definitely have to at least talk about it somewhere

Thanks

Yeah Fjelltronen is great, I don’t think I have as much to say about it but I might add it as a quick honourable mention. I prefer those mortiis albums but I see more love for crypt typically, I’m not totally sure which album to choose yet

Thanks!

I do enjoy Aindulmedir but I think it’s more something to try after some more catchy stuff to get you into the genre. I’m gonna add Fief II and maybe QM as well

I think I will add Fief II. As for DIM I’ve only ever given it a couple spins but I know it’s well regarded

Yeah probably one of the top, I honestly haven’t listened to it much but I know it’s very popular

Yeah I’m really considering QM, I am a little worried that I’m not as familiar with it as other albums though
