First song of my sophomore album, W/A/S/T/E/D: https://youtu.be/OVe8KWGJTkI?si=wgHE4QF4Ne_gIPA9

Released also on NG of course :D

Please consider giving it a listen, I'm very curious to hear your thoughts on this style!

The album itself is most probably going to be released in 7/12, so be ready for that! Physical releases are to be announced later:D

It's been a whole year since the day I released "Friendships"... Time flows so fast!

... and It was then one of my most personal pieces I made at the time, yet now it doesn't even come close to the deep deconstruction of my psyche that my upcoming album has, which will be my most introspective project I've ever made, and for that reason, probably the most hard for anyone to get into.

The style is a mix of all my personal music preferences, from Hip-Hop to Rock to Ambient to straight up noise. It's really different from what I've ever made before, way more simplistic, loop-y, and overall darker, and because of those preferences it was all around way more fun to produce too. If there is a name for this, it'd be Dimcore, because it's THAT unique.

The album itself is more of an experience than a bop, and it's based around a concept, that splits the LP into 4 chapters. That means that the majority of the songs in this album aren't shuffle-able. If you were to buy a CD of it and play it on shuffle, You would hear a Hip-Hop-y trance bop, followed by a 5 minute ambient noise that sounds like it was recorded in hell, and after that a Video-Game sounding Rock riff... It's just...

As I mentioned above, the project will be very hard for most to enjoy. I think I subconsciously stopped trying to reach a general audience, because it did never satisfy my soul. That means that if you were to like this album, you would need to like most of the things I like, which is very hard, because every human is different, and so I'm trying to accept that this album may never reach that many people, but at least I want everyone who is reached out to understand and enjoy this project at least a bit like I enjoyed making it.

Now, to the practical stuff. The album should be around less than an hour long (47 minutes are done) and it's gonna be released after the release of the single(s), which are coming this summer! As for the physical releases, I'm not sure yet if I go through with them, but I'd really like to! The release, all 'n' all, should be around late summer to September, I'll announce it, along with the title, in a future update...when I think of a title.

Have a great day,

Hello, individuals,

For the 16 Spotify listeners, I've started to publish my latest music officially in all of the known platforms, including Apple Music and Spotify, with the first release being 'Friendships' on April 16!

Next song to get a release may be either:

-the 2024 megacollab, as an EP with the rest of the 3 previous collabs, that are for now exclusive to Newgrounds only

-Through a distorted mirror

-Probably not, but I may release the chiptune mix, even though it performed badly.

After these releases, I'm looking to complete my sophomore album, which I maybe shouldn't make promises about, but the making of it, so far, is actually looking good! It definitely leans towards some new influences, and some darker compositions, but I think it rocks so far. I'd call this new style as a mix between Trance and Hip-Hop, or at least that is how it's sounding at the moment. However the record is very early in it's production, and I wouldn't count on expecting it to release in this first half of 2024 sadly. I'll still try to create some singles in the meantime, though, and maybe releasing a few from the record itself before its release.

I'm really hoping for the best with this one, in terms of popularity, and I maybe should try to advertise my music a whole lot more before it. Of course Listens and Plays don't mean anything in terms of satisfaction with my music, but I'd really like to reach an audience that is looking for music like mine. Maybe it's the sin of pursuing pride. Maybe it's just logical to want your creation to affect people in a good way. I don't want to create a name, and neither a brand, I'd like to create art that people can find a part of themselves in.

Well, good life, and be ready!

"Through a distorted mirror" released!

Get ready......

...yo...

....new single dropping on Friday!

Well, it seems that recently this music thing has been going nowhere, but I think I'll release something different to kinda test the waters, and maybe find a bigger crowd. If that doesn't work, I dunno what will😭

I released a little mix of some unreleased chiptunes which you can see here:

It doesn't seem to get a lot of attention, which is kind of a shame, cuz I think it has some really nice loops, so I'd be very glad if you were to check it out! :D

I haven't been able to sleep tonight. I just saw the message from RobTop saying Check Steam. 2.2 is OUT I SWEAR 2.2 IS OUT 2.2 IS OUT IT CAME OUT LIKE HALF AN HOUR AGO I COULDN'T EVEN FALL ASLEEP FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE HOLY FUCK 2.2 IS OUT

As you might have noticed, I have released a lil' album called "A Retrospective" containing remakes - remasters of the "Invisibility era" songs, along with some unreleased ones! It ain't nothing huge, but I hope you enjoy -I guess- my gift for the (almost) 5 whole years I've dedicated on music!

The album is up on Bandcamp for CD quality free download, as a whole video on YouTube, and being uploaded on Newgrounds for use in Geometry Dash, with the schedule from May 9 to 17, ending with "The World Changing (Remaster)" Also releases for Spotify and Apple Music (among others) are scheduled for June 8, so you can now listen "Online" even MORE online-ish!

After THAT, expect a -all new- single, also uploaded in all of the above... It will be interesting ;)

... not online, that's for sure!

It's the first time -in 5 years- I've stopped -truly- working on music. Even after my 2021-2022 stop, I was still regularly working on my style, and in a big part video-gamey loops. After Individuals LP, though (and some little stuff), I stopped playing stuff on piano, I stopped thinking about melodies and beats and stuff, and that's largely because I became a lot more active in my life, than I was 2 years ago, and also feeling a ton better than back then, finally feeling good about me!...

... and that IS -of course- a good thing, but -for some reason- I don't have the same motivation -and neither time really- to invest in music, even though I have a large project in mind, and I still have a huge passion for music, and I think the reason for that is because I don't need to basically vent anymore through my tracks, and neither have the urge to gain positive feedback from online (even tho you guys are so great!), FINALLY because of friends, and my girl (^-^), who always support me, and I'm so glad for that!

However, I will complete that project, even though now it's not the time now, it will be, maybe soon! The big step will be finally monetizing my next album, and creating it from my idea I had since even the production of Individuals! While the first one was rather short and -while good- not as big as I'm aiming for the next one, which will be the true /revolution\ of Dim-J, while still being Dim-J, so I guess that's called /evolution\, then!

So... About the monetization: the next album (no name yet) will be available in the regular streaming services, able to be bought digitally, and for the first time, physically, too! The album's digital and CD price are planned to be $10 - 10€ each! The project will be around 1 hour long, with about 20 tracks in it, with some features, that both you and I, will probably learn about in the future! It will have more of a story, and in the same time less of a focus than my first album, with more exprerimental styles throughout!

That's all, folks, I'll make sure to update you in the near future!
