My latest dark synthwave / horror movie soundtrack "Consume(d) and (Be) Reborn" is live on streaming platforms. Yes, even Spotify. #newmusic #music song.link/rzxnh0stmqhvj

In hindsight, "Revenge of the Sednoids" has waaaaay too much bass. But, to my ears, way too much bass sounds good. icondark.bandcamp.com/track/reveng...

Anything... AI or otherwise... that is described as "not about replacing humans" is ALWAYS about replacing humans.

Please don't waste your time or money on Somnium. It was predictable (which is forgivable) and boring AF (which is not). Not even really horror, just some slow-burn drama advertised as horror. #horror

Lack of consequences is a hell of a drug.

Mr. Strawberry deserved better. #alienearth

If you actually WANT to see a nonsensical fever dream about a mutant carnivorous deer murdering a bunch of comically unlikable and/or stupid humans, then Bambi: the Reckoning will scratch that itch quite nicely. Don't get me wrong, it's not a good movie. But it IS what it claims to be, 100%

Yes. Another one. icondark.bandcamp.com/album/do-you... Each track is a different version of the song, with the last one being dark ambient, the first one being dark synthwave-ish, and the middle one being something in between.

I mean... I'm not NOT going to release another spooky track in immediate future...

I wanted more out of the Alien: Earth finale. More WHAT, I'm not quite sure of. Everything? I guess they had to leave it open for season two, but they didn't have to leave quite that much open. #horror

Strange Harvest was an excellent movie. That is all. #horror

'Tis the last day of summer. The season of horror and terror and monsters and also pumpkins is at hand.

Great. Now I've got the theme to Peacemaker season 2 stuck in my head and I do NOT want it there.

The world makes perfect sense once you realize that it is largely run by sociopaths.

"Revenge of the Sednoids" began as an attempt to produce a fusion of Witch House and Shoegaze. Don't get me wrong, it is absolutely nothing like EITHER of those genres, but if you're wondering how it came to be... now you know. icondark.bandcamp.com/track/reveng...

This perverse "need" that people have to identify with, interact with, and connect with artists instead of the actual art is like a man dying of thirst frantically licking the outside of a water hose.

I'm not going anywhere but it would be awesome if folks would sign up for my email list and consider buying a sticker or two. jonathanlamantia.com

Some may wonder wtf a "sednoid" is, and, after looking it up, may wonder why I used the word in a song title. But if you actually read and understand the wikipedia article you undoubtedly found, then apply a little imagination... Yeah. Spooky. #music #horror

Soooo... Revenge of the Sednoids is on streaming platforms now. Pick your poison. song.link/us/i/1840722...

They Have Returned!! #music icondark.bandcamp.com/album/reveng...

It's the two year anniversary or my dark space ambient EP "Their Souls Hungered for the Void". #music @distrokid.com

On one hand, I'm 99% behind music platforms flagging and either demonetizing or outright banning AI-generated songs. On the other hand, let's not pretend that false positives aren't a thing and that this won't be a problem real artists. This 100% WILL be used against us.

I love that feeling when, after putting a lot of time and effort into a song and taking a break for a day or two, you go back into the DAW session and realize that... ...the song is already finished. Can any producers out there feel me on that? #music #musicproduction

I do not understand why the makers of Alien:Earth chose to have literally all the action in this latest episode take place in broad, bright-ass daylight. Would have been SO much better in the dark. #horror

I recently opened up one of my old DAW sessions and was SHOCKED. It was clear that seven years ago I had no idea wtf I was doing. But aside from the mix/master being objectively trash, the song is still a favorite of mine. Lesson: don't let education and experience get in the way of making art.

I distinctly remember about six or eight weeks ago, after finishing my EP and scheduling out the releases for the rest of the year, saying to myself that I was done making music until 2026. I've finished about seven songs (and remixes thereof) since then. Not mad.

Call for Songs: “The Weapon and the Shield” A Protest Music Compilation I am curating a compilation titled “The Weapon and the Shield,” celebrating music as a force of resistance and protection...

Sometimes movies focus on building atmosphere and establishing characters to the detriment of interesting things actually happening on the damn screen. #horror

The ending of Weapons was wild. The movie that ending was attached to was a bit slower than I normally like (with a couple of standout exceptions). Still worth a watch, though. #horror

It is my honest, heartfelt belief that people of ALL races, ages, political leanings and sexual orientations need to possess two skills 1) Learning from other people's mistakes, and 2) Keeping your mouth shut. There is a disturbing lack of both of the above these days.

I might watch that Ice Cube "War of the Worlds" movie, y'all. I know it's bad. Horrible. Message 100% received. But something in me just wants to SEE how bad it is for myself.

"The Woman in the Yard" was some hot garbage with a few seconds of cool-ish visuals. That is all. #horror

ONLY on #Bandcamp, I've released a remaster of my 2019 song "The Stone Tape Theory (Spectral Mix). It's one of my early forays into cinematic retro synth vibes. icondark.bandcamp.com/track/the-st...

21ST CENTURY URBAN SORCERY, my new album, is officially out on physical media (CD, Cassette, and Vinyl), digital download, and all streaming services as of Midnight. Plunge into a neon underworld where Retrowave collides with dark EBM pulses and unsettling electronic textures. cucurbitophobia.com

My wife and I had a brief but serious conversation about not telling women to calm down. My question was: what if someone does, in fact, need to calm the fuck down and they happen to be a woman? No, seriously.

I spend WAAAY too much time building little automations and modulations into insignificant sounds that no one will notice but me. I regret none of it.

This morning our microwave woke up and chose violence.

"I'm not helping people because nobody helped me" is some full-on psychopath shit, and anybody who says it should be on a watchlist.

Strange Frequencies on Netflix was better than I expected, once I adjusted to the personalities of some of the cast. I guess not-so-deep down I have a prejudice against social media influences and took an immediate dislike to half the cast just for existing. #horror

Welp... there was exactly ONE character I had any kind of sympathy for and now I guess I don't gotta worry about THAT any more. Saw it coming, tho. Also, that damned sheep was giving off more Hannibal Lecter vibes than Hannibal Lecter himself. How you gonna out-Hannibal Hannibal!? #alienearth

Only the main track of the 3-track dark synthwave instrumental single will be hitting streaming services. And not for another few weeks. #music distrokid.com/hyperfollow/...

New single out on #Bandcamp icondark.bandcamp.com/album/octobe...

The reactions I get when I tell people there will not be another presidential election is disturbingly similar to the ones I got a year ago when said there will be concentration camps.

The supernatural is just the natural that we do not (or choose not to) understand yet.

It's #bandcamp friday! Now is a great time to support independent artists such as myself. Consider "Thy Flesh Unleashed", my 4-track dark synthwave soundtrack to a horror movie that doesn't exist. Yet. icondark.bandcamp.com/album/thy-fl...
