Good morning, and happy Saturday 😎🚬☕️ Rather foggy here this morning, but it matches the dizziness of the nicotine rush from today's first cigarette well. Soon a cup of Monsoon Malabar and the day is starting. Is there even a better way to start a Saturday? 🐦🌁

Our heads are full of them, and now they’re unionizing Album art by my pal Michael, who’s also a killer indie musician! Check out his Glowbatshop, for awesome designs: tees, posters, by commissions. #eXorZm #CranialWorms #IndieArt #PsychedelicRock

Happy turning-point day!😎✌️

Want to feel happy? Here’s the @Bandcamp playlist for you! CTC @mikeyjmusic.bsky.social UncleFunkbeard @nathalieweider.bsky.social @portobelloexpress.bsky.social @stormofcrows.bsky.social @brianjin.bsky.social @exorzm.com @truckdog.bsky.social bandcamp.com/chuckytradin...

I promised to share a clip of the stop motion animated music video for "Half a Mind", so here it is. (The song(🎧) is out tomorrow and the video will be released on the 25th.)

Since there's no video, I'd like to share some still photos from the coming animated music vid for "Half a Mind". The song is out this Friday, and video's out on August 25th.

The coming music video is starting to look like a bit like a horror movie😱Here's the protagonists expression when waking up with his eyes missing...

Looks like I'm ready to animate the "Half a Mind" music vid🎧 Just finished background #art for the final scene with the eyes resting on the, admittedly, a bit "cubist" grand piano...

Good afternoon!☕️😎 Slow midweek day... I was burning the midnight oil last night, caught up in making the some #art for "Half a Mind" claymation vid, and now energy's a bit low. Really got to avoid those late nights🥱

I really like Inkscape for graphics! After faffing about for a few hours, I'm getting close to the merch look for August single, "Half a Mind". Why eyeballs? Last verse reads: "One time I woke up strange/From the darkest dream/I found my eyes resting on a grand piano/I scooped them up as I leave"

I wanted to introduce the drummer for the coming single, "Half a Mind" - Dr. Rhythm from BOSS DR 220 A. This ancient thing had been laying around for ages, and I finally sampled the drum sounds.🎧Luckily, the sound fits the hip hop inspired beat pretty well.

Afternoon😎☕️I hope you've had a good day! Kinda slow motion here today with windy, grey and cold weather. Took forever, but I managed to put together the background for a scene in vid for 'Half a Mind".

Was away on a bit of a local road trip today. The most interesting happening (besides cake) was probably finding this motive of a puddle. Pretty, pretty low-key day of excitement😂

Managed to finish the album #art for the August single🎧today. It's a song about the apathy/indecision one can experience when caught up in melancholy. The music's quite dark and quite trippy😎 (Yes, those are eyeballs...)

I promised I'd share the album art for the tune, 'Wind' when it was finished, so here it is. @julesk.bsky.social @gianpaolofontani.net

Good morning☕️🍳 Slow and cloudy Saturday, perfect for a lazy day🦥 I was working on sketching album art for an upcoming, but still unscheduled collab single called 'Wind' yesterday. Hoping to finish up the drawing today🤞 Have a fab Saturday, folks!

In case anyone is curious about my music, here's a summer tune(or close as I get), "One Last Time". It has slide guitar and Manzarek like organs. https://open.spotify.com/track/6VlB8yjzW9gNxShUJyneMw?si=qIO-EDInRWGp3WcY5oSC2Q

Friends/family: You can't sell that weird music, make something listenable!" Georgia O'Keeffe: "I can't live where I want to, I can't go where I want to go, I can't do what I want to, I can't even say what I want to. I decided I was a very stupid fool not to at least paint as I wanted to." Me:💯

Good night🌛 As i way of introduction to new folks on here, I wanted to share a melancholy summer ballad I wrote about a drunken walk home through the forrest. (It got some ukulele mixed up with synths and trippy fx) https://open.spotify.com/track/5o09ZotIZqGfpmiSXGlFsl?si=D1AoYsX9QwC3KzGjpml8JA

I was trying to find a summer vibe song & here's the closest. A tune about a trip (not exactly microdosing), inspired by the Doors. Some slide guitar and Vox organ in the choruses, where the summer resides☀️😎 https://open.spotify.com/track/6VlB8yjzW9gNxShUJyneMw?si=Fge7iEGHQli008qPjJbkFg

Working on a track written by @gianpaolofontani.net and I keep hearing a slide guitar in my mind... So, better locate my fave slide, the brass one at the front in this old pic. The Ariel Posen signature one from Rock slide is the first I didn't have to modify with foam or cork to fit!

Is it party time, yet? I'll make due with my one beer, that should suffice😎 Cheers!🍻

Did some touching up of the album #art for Cranial Worms, before uploading to Distrokid. Song's already out on https://exorzm.bandcamp.com/album/cranial-worms with a different cover.

Good morning. It feels like a bass kind of day, so here is my replica Rickenbacker. Love this thing. I especially like that it got adjustable string dampening at the bridge. Great for dialing in that "dead" thump. Enjoy your ☕️ and have a great day!

Hi😎 Does anyone enjoy jawharp in their psychedelic rock music? If so, here's a tune about exploration and pioneering for you: https://open.spotify.com/track/6xGsYA1dxWmF4Obm2nkoZb?si=mQtpkTO9T1maTSuMgaKqsQ "I'm gonna travel to the edge/ I'm gonna report back to you"

Hi! Almost one month here, about time I introduced myself. My name's Vegar, indie artist/songwriter/guitarist/singer from Norway. Play some spoons and jawharp. Genre agnostic, but primarily writing in psychedelic rock. Dark/sad/trippy lyrics. But I'm curious to know🤔, what is your jam?

😁Finally finished drawing the Spotify cover for the invading "Cranial Worms", "They came from the center of the earth/To take over/They're here to gnaw into our brains/To take over/They're here to take control" 😈🐛💀 #newsongBandcamp #PsychedelicRock #BskyMusicCluster @gianpaolofontani.net

It's a grey and windy Saturday here, perfect for being indoors, making some Microbrute patches. The Arturia analog is a cool little beast, for sure...

Yesterday I finally got some new music out. "Cranial Worms": a little ditty about parasitic worms, invading from the center of the earth. First tune while on #bluesky in the #BskyMusicCluster 😎 Forgot to tag it as #psychedelicrock and #bskyindieartist so reposting🎶

Check out my playlist on Spotify it’s the Spotify link on the page in my bio Featuring BlueSky’s very own 👇🏻

“Crease Lightning” ⛈️ Coming out on 7/12 REALLY can’t wait for this one!

Studio porn posting: Feel free to share your studio pics, I'm always curious to see other ppls setups! Here' a pic from when the music studio was relatively uncluttered. Now it's much worse and I'm trying hard to rethink the organization of it, as it's hardly ergonomic.😉

Been thinking I want a stop-animation music video to go with the release of 'Cranial Worms'. It's time consuming work, but quite fun. (Pictured is the half-finished figures of my collaborators, Frankie&RikiAbi, from the previous animated vid)

Here's a gif for you - just blink rapidly, while shaking your head. It just might do the trick! (Detail from painting by Ajmal Maharaj)

Finally the master for 'Cranial Worms' is ready for uploading to aggregators. A song about corruption, narcissism, and the will to dominate others... (Pic is a tentative attempt at the cover art)

B-movie inspired song, 'Cranial Worms' ready for mastering... It's about inter-terrestrial worms turning ppl into worms, so basically a metaphor for how power corrupts. "You are degenerating/Cranial Worms/You are disintegrating/You are being corrupted/Cranial Worms/You are slowly mutated"

Still some time left to noodle around on the guitar... Sometimes I think the blue light in h&k's tube amp is cool af, while other times if feels kinda like a circus. 🤡 Really useful amp, though. 2 channels of dirt and 1 clean. My fave amp, so far🎸🎶🤘

Nearing a finished mix of the B-movie inspired 'Cranial Worms'. "They came from the center of the world/To take over/They're here to gnaw into our brains/To take over/They're here to take control" Luckily, they are quite tiny, so can easily be squashed under a boot as pictured... 😈🪱🫰

JUST GONNA LEAVE THIS HERE:

Hey Bluesky fam, what schemes or lazyness are you up to this Sunday?🤔 For me, Sunday's a good day for kicking back with music, trying to come up with album covers. Today's inspiration was Monster Magnet's 'Bull God', since I was listening to their Dopes to Infinity. Have a good one!😎

Current fave overdrive pedal! The Jonassus drive really kicks. Dual-channel overdrive, low-gain & high gain. 3 different clipping modes. And a secret stutter mode. Can't wait for sound or/and video to be available to post on here! 😎🤘

Current read: Tunesmith, by Jimmy Webb. Always nice to get a new perspective on songwriting, and this one is massively inspiring! Great for getting out of the rut of "writing-the-same-song-everytime", imho Highly recommended⭐️

Good morning Blueskiers, what've you got planned for today? As soon as I've finished my☕️, some percussion practice is coming up. (Yes, those are spoons) have an awesome Tuesday!😎✌️

So, the rest of the day should get noisy, or I'm doing something wrong🎸😎🤘
