Same tbh

July local banger just got announced! We've got EBM, drone, dungeon synth, an evening of gloomy gothy delights :)

Dick from a girl so good it got you saying shit like "Hails and well met"

Forcing myself to leave the house and be social despite feeling lots of bad things about my body, because goddammit I simply refuse to let my bullshit keep me down.

Save me, mint tea and spotted dog

Not many know this, but Blood Ceremony is one of my favorite bands of all time and this album is in my top 10, regardless of genre. I owned the CD and listened to it until it broke, I'd love to find the record on vinyl someday. bloodceremony.bandcamp.com/album/the-el...

For those who know me, I *loathe* recording. But I'm hoping that having a cool spot to do it in will make it easier.

Making tea while a beautiful woman sleeps in my bed is a spiritually healing experience that can be matched by no other

Studio update

I've been listening to a lot of really corny, romantic music lately and I think I might need to be euthanized donnybenet.bandcamp.com/album/the-don

If you're not injecting yourself with cross-sex hormones while your place of employment is paying you moneydollars for your time, what the fuck are you even doing with your life?

Also, I'm not making a page for it here but this week I've officially started a booking entity! If you make dungeon synth, dark ambient, or other electronic music that goes bump in the night, send an email to [email protected] if you wanna try playing a show in Pittsburgh :)

some past gig pics :3

Thinking about what I want to accomplish musically. Not gonna share any thoughts publicly because I'd feel weird about that, but I'm thinking!

Once again giving thanks for my fucking sobriety

Women in maid outfits make me fucking rabid

It was popcorny and somewhat derivative, but it was executed pretty ok and looked cool.

I may not be the most fun person by and large, but eating peanut butter cup ice cream and wathcing a horror film (Shelby Oaks, will report my thoughts once I've finished) is a pretty choice way to spend a Saturday night

Once again loathing the isolation that comes with being sober and trans. Maybe taking a very long walk will help.

Daydreaming on the clock about toting a woman around on a leash

Mostly unrelated to synthesizers, but I have been carnally yearning for violence and the taste of blood filling my mouth. Happy Friday :)

Studio in progress. Gotta hang some art up and figure out lightning, but the synthesizers are where I want them to be and are all plugged in.

Internet is making me go insane again, text or email to keep in touch/keep me company/book me for shows/etc :)

We fucking LOVE to see it

I have to get my studio into recording mode today and I'm real upset about it, it's a huge pain trying to manage all the cables and configure my stands and keyboards into my rather small computer room.

Cross cut the morning after. It was delicious.

Baking bread, sharpening knives, and listening to The Wolfe Tones. Having a very normal Monday night.

Realizing that I don't really have the time to research all the historical shit I'd need to properly run a Vampire: The Dark Ages game like I wanted to. Maybe I should track down a V20 hardcover and run a Pittsburgh By Night type game instead :)

It is with a solemn heart that I must inform you all it is, once again, horny o' clock.

Gentle reminder (I hardl-) that my next show is one of the most stacked non-festival lineups I have ever played. Attend. :)

I think I might be inspired to write a song holy shit

Happiness is snuggling with two friends and watching a silly movie

Meditating on the divine concept known colloquially as "hitting it from the back"

I have reached the point in my life where making a fucking red sauce will take me over 24 hours for start to finish. Patience is indeed a virtue which I hold most dear.

I have been cooking for four hours so far. I am tired and my apartment is quite warm, but hey I can't argue with the process I've created :)

Gonna be cooking a big yummy red sauce today :)

The first Talvi interview ever! ⚔️🎹❄️ #dungeonsynth #wintersynth cryptsburden.blogspot.com/2026/05/a-st...

One last thought before I log off and fix a cup of tea: touching grass and making close personal connection with a person IRL will fix like 70% of most peoples' issues.

Regarding my last post, as a bit of counter balance: If you aren't involved in the making or facilitating of dungeon synth and it's related subgenres, your thoughts on the matter mean far less to me than those who are integrated into the community in a meaningful way. :)

Applies even more to the "dedicated to the old ways" dungeon synth types too

Not gigging again until the end of next month. Time to rest a bit, then get into recording and torturing beautiful transsexuals.

Two things: 1) I'm playing this sick event in Newark NJ this Sunday, you should attend 2) Only being online when I'm at a computer like it's 20 years ago is great for my mental health, please don't expect quick responses from me

What are the minimum requirements to use a porta john?

Jazz fusion on the turntable, tea steeping, incense burning, breakfast simmering on the stove. Someone should have married me 50 years ago.

Me, being into a girl: "Ah how blessed are we to witness the coalescence of desire, dancing to and fro like incense rising in the breeze" Me, being into a boy: "Ok turn around and face the wall, we've work to accomplish"

I know videos aren't as much of a thing on this site, but I like making them 🖤 'Towards Chione' cassette tapes comin' at ya this @bandcamp.com Friday @fiadh.bsky.social Have a blessed Beltane 🏵🔥

Synthesizers

If more metal bands took cues from folks like Hawkwind or Edgar Winter Group maybe I'd actually like the genre
