Hello, another audio chap here.

I'm about to put out an album that is heavily inspired by this era of PS1/2 games music. Please listen here:

https://anakoret.bandcamp.com/album/untitled-2nd-album


I love this era of strange experimental project. So I'm rarin' to work on something inspired by LSD.

Let me know if you'd like my noises inside your pictures. 


These are some tracks I did for a previous LSD game jam:

yo im really enjoying the vibe of this and i think i could make some art that resonates. im an artist, 2D and sculptural as well as some animation, and would love to help make something experimental! I dont have any experience making a game, but i have plenty in making art and some writing. 

heres my website:

Hey there Matthias!

Thank you for listening, I appreciate the compliments!

Your art is stunning, I'd be honored to work on something together.

I love your painting of the bed with the nighttime light coming through the window, absolutely gorgeous.

I resonate with your "About" philosophy as well.

Well, I only know audio so there isn't a lot I can do in terms of coding and game design. If you start or find a team with some coders I'll gladly follow you.

But I'd also be interested in doing music and sound in tane with some other project you embark on even if it's outside of the jam.

Nice to meet you, I hope we can work together on some capacity,


Daen

i'm glad you like my work too! currently listening to IE off your album and it's really good dude

i'd be down to talk on discord or something :)  .t.o.s.t. on discord

Hello Daen, idk if I'm entering this jam but I do want to make music like this. Could you give me any advice on instruments or how to make dreamy sounds? 

Hey there Dreamcaster! (Love that name by the way)

Yeah I'd love to offer some tips. As far as that stuff I posted goes, for that album I tried to almost exclusively use samples from 90s and early 00s synths (since that's the era of PS1/2/Dreamcast). I would start with the Roland JD800 samples from this guy:

http://legowelt.org/samples

He sampled a bunch of 90s synth presets and offers them for donation based payment. He's great. I also like his Yamaha PSS samples too 

And then lots of reverb on your synths. That's key for dreaminess/ambient. 

You'll get a lot of the way there by doing that stuff
