On Day 7 I spent 45 minutes re-recording drums on a forgotten project, still not right though. 16th notes are quite the workout! #diymusic

I reckon 2 to 3 weeks so if you got funky, beepy, weird, wired, groovy, disjointed, abrasive, throbbing, soundtrack, experimental, electronic, instrumental music get it in.

Reminder: I am currently seeking independent releases in any/all genres for review on my blog/newsletter Other People's Music. No cost, very little obligation to the artists! Here's the info: www.etherdiver.com/other-people... Give it a read and HMU! (Non musicians, tell your musician friends)

This week in Other People's Music features the work of fellow Bluesky denizens @orago.bsky.social @koteblue.com & @bofbriz.bsky.social who offer lo-fi retro electronica, singer-songwriter art pop & leftfield hip hop, respectively. ALSO post rock and soundscapes. www.etherdiver.com/2026/01/02/o...

On day 6 you can listen to the most recent versions of the forgotten projects on my SoundCloud on.soundcloud.com/I0dQ8NTdnZ5D... #musicsky Apparently they are all psychedelic rock, you listen and tell me what genre they are becoming!

This video was *technically* five years in the making, so do go give it a watch…

SO over the last 3 days I have: Finally done the artwork for a silly single (techno adjacent) called "KickNSnareNHat" Stripped a project right back to bass and drums and re-recorded the guitar Mixed and Mastered the instrumental that is the intro song to my next album

If someone is able to help out a good friend of mine, I'd really appreciate it, folks! 🙏

If you have a cool-ass music-related website, hit me up. I am going to start a Friends of Ether Diver page of links on my website. Let's do this shit like it's 1994.

So I used my time today to finish the instrumentation in this project. All it needed was a simple synth line for which I used my plinky + crey buddies module and peaks in LFO mode, played with a keystep. Really fun sound. #musicsky

This is a great idea, going to give this a try for January

Oh this is a fun idea! I say as I stare at my pile of WIPs, especially the sketches that have not graced my Kamvas screen in.. many, many moons, ahaha

It’s day two of this challenge. On day one I deleted a whole load of Ableton Projects which were going nowhere or completed so I didn’t need them anymore. This has cleared things enough that I can see the projects I want to work on. Today I will be working on one of the surviving projs #musicsky

Reposting to add and correct #promosky #diymusic #music #newyear

Happy new year Bluesky I hope this year is full of music you enjoy. Follow @florgoth.bsky.social, @etherdiver.bsky.social , @untidyradio.com and all the musician starter packs to discover awesomeness #musicsky #promisky I am doing this January challenge so a new album is in the works! Back to Goth!

I always find it really jarring whenever I encounter a languishing creative who blames their lack of motivation/output on other people not supporting them "enough." I just assumed we were all freaks who were in this for the love of the game. Making the thing IS the reward. An audience is optional.

End-Of-Year list #3! I have literally heard hundreds of albums this year and I'm happy to say that most of them were great. But here are those that stood out just a little bit more! My 15 favorite albums of 2025!

Is this on? Lots of lovely post punk, goth, darkwave and experimental electronica. Other listening sources include Ampwall and Bandcamp. #musicsky #diymusic #gothmusic #goth #bandcamp #onampwall linktr.ee/professeurwhom

Happy Hogswatch to all who celebrate. Ho! Ho! Ho!

Seeing as it’s Dec 25th I’m reporting. Version with added software synth should be the preview track. Go listen to A Few Distractions for some mental health themed alt 80s throwback post punk musings. #musicsky #postpunk #diymusic #gothmusic

Hey, do YOU need new Christmas music? And would you like to help feeding desperate folks? Then give this one a listen and pick it up if you like it! 👍

I have added a second track with a software synth as well as my workshop system modular, enjoy. #synthsky #festive #christmas #hogswatch

Ah, tomorrow is annual “queue outside the butchers shop” day, wish me luck.

Heck, I am also ~40 followers from hitting 1000 followers on Bandcamp, which is ALSO a neat milestone. Even easier to help out with! You don't have to spend a dime, and I send fewer than 5 messages via Bandcamp a year (just new releases + a couple sales a year!), so it's low impact!

I'm $82 from hitting $5000 in all-time sales via Bandcamp... bit of a tall order, but I think it's JUST possible I could hit that by the end of the month, with a little help (about $82 worth of help LOL). Can't buy? A share is almost as valuable! etherdiver.bandcamp.com

True for ALL musicians, not just furries

I’ve been festive: professeurwhom.bandcamp.com/album/carol-... #modularsynth #bandcamp #diymusic

Someone on here tried to convince me that gen-AI is good aktshually because creating a prompt is the same as the idea being the art in conceptual art. If that’s the case then the “artist” should tell everyone the prompt when displaying the result and explaining the thought and emotion behind it.

Interested in creating your own synthesizer sounds, or maybe just learning about how that is done? Check out my How to Synth guide for practical, easy-to-follow info and lessons on the major synthesis methods used today! www.etherdiver.com/how-to-synth... #synth #synthesizer #SoundDesign

Llm's are only useful if you don't particularly give a fuck whether your output is actually correct and it doesn't really matter if it is. Which says a *lot* about the jobs and lives of the people who are the loudest about advocating their use.

Cooking from this today. Serving sizes a bit big and it’s not easy to get sea food boil in this part of the UK!

I’m now going to go and listen to Songs For Drella because that’s very festive. music.apple.com/gb/album/son...

Golly what an amazing thing to promote… I mean it’s great that other people have listened but this does feel like a participation trophy! Make me happy and get me to hundreds of plays! music.apple.com/gb/album/a-f... #musicsky #promosky #postpunk #goth #gothmusic #darkwave

A late and final Very Special Episode of Other People's Music is here. This FINAL installment of 2025 (yeah, I'm taking Xmas off) is a look back at what it was like to review 250 independent music releases this year, including a look at a few I kept coming back to www.etherdiver.com/2025/12/19/o...

Good morning Bluesky. This is your (not quite as) regular reminder that music is good for you. Listen here: professeurwhom.ampwall.com/album/changi... I think it’s good and I wrote and performed all of it so I should know. #promosky #musicsky #ampwall #diymusic #quirky #whimsy #postpunk #genre

Whilst you are waiting why not listen to A Few Distractions or Changing Seasons ampwall.com/a/professeur... professeurwhom.bandcamp.com music.apple.com/gb/artist/pr...

I really should get writing the rest of the songs for the album I’m working on. Shall I do the “release each track as a single as I go” thing? #musicsky #procrastination

Delve into the world of dreams and dream magick with Oneirogen Codex, a concept album of lo-fi post-industrial dub psychedelia. Once you can recall your dreams, you can navigate them. Once you can navigate...magick awaits. etherdiver.bandcamp.com/album/oneiro... #musicsky

OK let’s try a silly game: Songs that are a tradition in your family at this time of year that aren’t other people you know’s tradition. I’ll start: youtu.be/vftiQ-MIekk?... Yes it’s definitely a Christmas song.

This week's Other People's Music is headlined by a truly unique art rock album. Also featured: two varieties of electro pop and some raw electro rock, with an avant chamber pop song to wrap things up. www.etherdiver.com/2025/12/12/o... #music #MusicDiscovery #ElectroPop #ArtRock #Rock #musicsky
