How something magical usually starts. Into 90s dark alt guitars atm. Who knows where this will go.

Let’s build an Empire: Diving into the creation of the “Empire” music video. #darkwave #gothic #gundamwing #castleinthesky #evangelion

“You’re a criminally underrated artist.” (Part 2)

Got my last two wisdom teeth out at 51. Once the Novocaine wears off, this will surely suck. 🤣😅🫠

I’m proud of what @absynth.space has evolved into. What started as a small journal has grown into quite a vessel that can thoughtfully carry a wide spectrum of cool, wave genres with care and intention. All thanks to @synthwriter80s.bsky.social @cmags27.bsky.social and the rest of the team.

Now with 205 tracks, this is the final update to ELECTRICITYCLUB.CO.UK's Oh 2025 Playlist, new additions include compute, R. Missing, Unify Separate, Local Suicide, Minimal Schlager, Yota, CZARINA, MOTHERMARY, Mercy Girl, Bootblacks, Vioflesh + Nuovo Testamento 🎶 open.spotify.com/playlist/1xX...

Oh wow! Truly honored to have Gemini be @florgoth.bsky.social’s Top song of the Year! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🩶🩶

It’s always dangerous when I walk into random comic book shops. 😆

I’m a lot closer to becoming a feudal warlord living in a coastal 18th Century fortress with a garrison of bulldogs protecting our coast from pirates than becoming a touring rockstar. I’m ok with that. No complaints. But thank you for listening and watching my aural-visual celestial adventures.

It’s ok not to be performative and not tire yourself out making content just to feed the machine. Artists, don’t forget your mystique carries a lot more power than you realize. Protect it.

TOP RELEASES of 2025: DARK Edition We teamed up with guest curators @theelectricityclub.bsky.social Synthpop Fanatic @awfullysinister.bsky.social To compile 2025’s best of Darkwave, Synthpop, Goth, Post-Punk, Coldwave, Dark Electro and Dark Rock 🖤 www.absynth.space/articles/top...

The Etsy store is open! Working on more bookmarks currently. I'm also going to have a few paintings in a new exhibit soon, so hopefully that will go as well as my last one. Donations via venmo are welcome (pls not paypal). But nothing is expected. I hope your Christmas was nice ❤️

You will be visited by three spirits…

You will be visited by three spirits. (Shoutout to my brother for the suggestion.)

Rest in Peace, Will. 💔🙏🏼😢 Sending all the love and strength to Kevin and their entire family. youtu.be/MqOCt4WtUZw?...

Merry Christmas!!

As someone who was in fashion, loves mythology and an aspiring filmmaker, I’m not mad about The Odyssey and the costumes. Homer’s works were much like the Marvel and DC comics of that time. They’re reinterpreted, Hellenized myths- not historical record. Looking forward to Christopher Nolan’s vision.

This is amazing!!! 6 of my darkTunes label mates and I made it in Synthpop Fanatic’s coveted Top 100 Synthpop Songs of 2025! This is huge for us and our label to occupy space amongst the best of the best in the synthpop/darkwave scene. More details in ALT www.synthpopfanatic.com/best/the-100...

Another amazing video! 🔥🔥🔥

12|21 ❄️✨ Happy Winter Solstice! Also today is my and @deadlykawaii.bsky.social’s wedding anniversary. I married the most incredible and beautiful human 7 years ago and life has been magical ever since. To celebrate this wondrous moment, we created this. youtu.be/x4LuWg-yCCI?...

I still don’t have the words to really express just how much of an honor and a thrill it was to be a part of this. ☺️

ICYMI, my awesome pals and synthwave legends and I Voltron’ed this 2025 guide to the Best of Synthwave for Part 1 - the Neon Edition. Part 2 is Best of Goth, Darkwave, EBM, Industrial. Coming soon. It’s nice to be involved in both worlds. How blessed are we to have so many incredible talents.

It could be said that I’m biased but, as a semi-retired indie filmmaker, this video is one of the most inspiring pieces I’ve seen a long time.

“Dagger In The Heart” is almost at 12K views I didn’t become quite the Asian film star as my parents would have wanted, but I’m slowly making up for that like a snail 🐌 Thank you all for stepping into the strange worlds and aural works emanating from my ever-bleeding heart ❤️‍🔥 youtu.be/QImNyGGkMrg?...

Omg - Come on, Dark Lord. Do your thang, man!

Getting a lot of love from Germany 🇩🇪 Danke, freunde 🖤🖤✨✨🙏🏼 monkeypress.de/2025/12/news...

But also great things come threes. Guidance and support come in threes. The number three has been a central point in this work. The three points on the dagger’s hilt. The three angels that appear in visions depicted in the video played by @deadlykawaii.bsky.social, Hamlet and @cmags27.bsky.social

Sharing some beautiful stills from the new music video and some backstory. “Dagger In The Heart” was inspired by a tarot card I drew earlier this year. It was the Three of Swords (the swords going thru a heart) which signals a painful year ahead. And it was… 🧵

Thank you so much to Post-Punk.com for this massive feature on Dagger In The Heart. Truly grateful for the generous and beautiful words. It has been an overwhelmingly positive and awesome release day. Thank you again to everyone who supported the track and video. post-punk.com/ethereal-dar...

Hi #synthfam! Check out my @absynth.space review of Yota’s “The Touch” which captures all of the fierce intensity and heartbreaking pain that comes with loving. Review here: www.absynth.space/articles/yota-the-touch #retrowave #synthwave #newretrowave

Check it out!! You might see a familiar face! 😉

Can’t wait for this!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 (Especially since I’m in it! 😆!)

The urge to visit Japan and specifically visit this spot to witness flying ninja feline friends on a mission. 🥷 🐈‍⬛

We are entering an era where discipline and process are no longer valued. Everyone wants a shortcut. Nobody cares for effort. But then they cry with their own individual outcomes, where they are, and why things are shit. Then they harbor hatred towards those who still value discipline and it shows.

This is what inspires all the art and music. I love love LOVE sea storm season 🩶 🌊🌊🌊🥰🤗😍 Obsessed

Black Friday goth shopping! 😆🤘

New song up in Bandcamp! darkmatterseance.bandcamp.com/track/black-...

We’ve committed ourselves to making a lot of the props and practical effects ourselves in our visuals and videos. As the world becomes more and more AI driven, you’ll see more and more true artists revert the opposite direction and go back to practical, tangible and analog methods.

Since started this Ko-fi goal, I got an influx of donations from fake email accts, which means I can't use the funds until paypal resolves it. I'm pretty bummed considering this was for a food bank. If anyone feels like donating via venmo, I'll send 100% to the food bank this afternoon. Link in bio

A blast from the past for you today -- one of the few remaining archives of my Timewarp - old-school music video series, featuring nearly 5 hours of '80s-era music videos with my commentary. This one was from Valentine's 2022 & Beans even makes a coveted appearance! www.patreon.com/posts/timewa...
