Perhaps some of you have seen my posts in the Dungeon Synth Facebook groups already, but if you haven't, then it's time for me to finally announce my dungeon synth project to you all. Very nervous about posting this as I hope I don’t get destroyed.
I’ve been sitting on announcing my own dungeon synth project for a while now. My Bandcamp page is all set up and ready to go. All that’s missing is... the music itself. Today has been cloudy, dreary, and raining all day. Perfect atmosphere to play on my keyboard. Out of nowhere, I came up with this simple melody and it stuck with me. I think this will be my intro or outro track on my first release (tentatively called “Beyond The Light”). My project is called Nokturniis. A word that also came to my head out of nowhere and stuck with me. I describe my music as Pure Ghastly Haunting Eerie Dungeon Synth (the overly long genre tag is a nod to Nortt, my favorite black metal band and a huge inspiration to my music).
Just to be clear, Nokturniis is my very first ever attempt at writing music. I have no background in music either. Which explains why I’m not a total wizard on the keyboard. The sound I’m aiming for will be slow and moody melodies. But, writing and releasing my own music has always been a dream of mine and I’ve always told myself that I know I can do it, no matter the obstacles and haters.
This recording is obviously raw and it’ll hopefully sound even better when I put it through my DAW. I plan on adding sound effects in the background and maybe tinkering with the sound of the synths as well to give it even more atmosphere.
Please be kind, but I also am perfectly fine taking constructive criticism.
Edit - My first official release, "Beyond The Light", is now live on Bandcamp! It's raw, lo-fi, and amateur. I still have a ton to learn about mixing, mastering, etc. But, I'm still pretty satisfied with the outcome! I only expect to get better with each release. I really do hope you at least give it a listen. Perfect music for the Halloween season. Pure Ghastly Haunting Eerie Dungeon Synth!
