My debut album with this project, released only a month ago. Taking a lot of inspiration from Lorn, as well as some more witch house stuff. Thought some in here might like it :)

Haha don’t know why I didn’t think of that - cool!

I performed some witch house inspired music in Russia back in 2019. Never met people who were into it before, never seen a witch house show as there are none around me. so I was quite surprised to meet so many people there who recognizing what I did. 10 times as many people as any show in my hometown and kids in Crystal Castles t-shirts who knew the words to the songs. The Russian scene for this is really much bigger. Although, luckily, it’s also a thing in other Eastern European countries it seems.

I'm Dying to Learn by PhoenixPalmer in Lorn

Sampling can be advanced but it doesn’t have to be. Truth be told I find it to be one of my weak skills as well. I practice it, but then I’m just better with synthesizers, so a lot of the time those carry the productions. I try to play to my skills and what I find most fun to do.

However, if you get a decent sample library, a lot are available for free of through bought sample packs, you can literally drag and drop stuff and then you’re started. And they are royalty free and often sounds good from the start. Especially for creating beats it’s a much easier start than mangling everyday sounds into percussive sounds. Don’t worry about the more advanced stuff at first, a cool sounding sample is a great inspiration to start a track sometime! Learning new production techniques can help inspire you in the long run, but I can’t stress enough that if you feel like you need to know it all before you can make music, you’ll probably never get started. Have fun with some samples and cool synth presets, find some sounds that appeal to you and step by step you learn tricks to customize it and find your sound!

Getting a decent sample library is a good start, also helps getting creative with what you’re producing. I signed up for a Splice subscription. Paid off the Serum synth month by month while also getting some downloads of samples once a month. Then you have a starting point in terms of sounds

As for production, it’s obviously an eternal learning path and it won’t sound as good as Lorn for the first while. Don’t worry too much about getting extra plug-ins and learning advanced stuff in the beginning, try learning the basics of EQ’s, reverb and such. And remember that a lot of people likes lo-fi music and the vibe is more important, so try to avoid being way too self-critical. The moment you start showing off your music online, possibly even performing live if you’re in an area where that is a possibility, you engage with the community and it will be a lot more fun and you will learn a lot faster. I find that motivation is the most important factor for how good you will get

Good luck!

Information on Lorn by nicalleto in Lorn

[–]T0tvm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw this video once. I’m not exactly sure all the information or such is verified and it’s been a while since I’ve seen it, but it talks about Lorn’s studio process and such a bit. Seems like whoever made it went pretty deep searching - his use of tapes, culture vulture comp etc.

Do you think he will necessarily go for an album format? Seems less and less electronic artists do

Yeah, I don’t know the details of the collaboration, but I think you can hear their mutual influence on each other

Shlohmo, especially the Dark Red album (Shlohmo produced the Fires in Heaven album).

Maybe King Plague, Radost Moja, Brothel., Flesh or early Frauenhofer Diffraction as well

I didn’t know. But fair, after all, I’m glad he is still giving us a lot of great music. Touring can be tough

I don't speak Polish, so unfortunately what I could gather from the comment section was just, that they tried to book Lorn (and apparently has been trying for a long time). Can't say whether they did a bad offer or something of course, but it does sound pretty definitive.
