Gliftor DrakenExperimental, ElectronicRevisiting our 2007 album, "New Psychedelic Days."
I thought then that the country had got so crazy that
it was time for a new Counterculture to emerge and
try to change things. Little did I know that things
were just going to get worse, and that the radicals
would line up behind Donald Trump. Where can we
possibly go from here?		AlbumLowertownMinnesotaUSAhttps://dead-planet.net

The Wasted MiraclesIndie, Singer-SongwriterEPKissimmeeFloridaUSA
Abruzzi SkyIndieI'm planning to write an EP that merges my favorite influences to create something that is my own. I want to explore the ideas of living authentically and intentionally in the modern world, how the past is always with us (we're all walking palimpsests),how the struggle to communicate is worth it. I will use Arturia synth VSTs, guitar plug-ins, my pedalboard, bass guitar, and Logic Pro. My inspiration is in the title of the project—I'm reaching for an ideal and seeking a place of clarity, calm, and purpose. I want to try writing songs in ways I never have before.EPLongmeadowMassachusettsUSA

By meditating on the name of each month, images, feelings, memories, sounds, music and all manner of sensory stimulation come bubbling to the surface.

I'll be improvising these soundscapes using these meditations to supply inspiration and realizing them with sampled sounds and live recorded audio.		AlbumSt. John'sNLCanadahttps://www.johnstonandlearmusic.com

Mega DollExperimentalIm planning to write and record an album inspired by the diary of a friend that I hold so dear to my heart and the diary has some fictitious stories at the paris opera, so the album Is properly title "El Fantasma de la Opera" like "The Phantom of the Opera". it is gonna be an experiment between string quartet with soloist cello and breakcore. I want to record and program as much as I can but I also want to try to synthesizers here and there. I want to keep the inspiration and the recommendations from the author on a private side, but the titles will certainly blow your speakers. As usual with Mega Doll the writing for the jungle aspects will contain ostinatos, functional harmony and all sorts of baroque techniques applied. it will be a massive explosion I swear you'll gonna find it to be a time travel tot eh future and back as with other titles in the same series: "The Geomijul Handbook of Authority" and "The Liumang Code of Conduct", you don't wanna mis it <3AlbumValdiviaChilehttps://megadoll.club

Nate MonoxideExperimentalThis year I'm not likely to have as much time to write and record during February because... well, reasons. So I'm scaling back my target this time around, to create a single monstrosity of a song that switches genre, key, tempo, and pretty much every thing else over a lengthy runtime. Similar to what I did with the REM submission 'Chaotic Alignment', but even more unhinged.SingleWhitehavenCumbria, EnglandUKhttps://natemonoxide.bandcamp.com/

Phog MasheeenExperimental, Singer-SongwriterThe plan is to produce an EP worth of songs. I have been producing a song a month for this year. I expect to turn up the heat in February to to produce a bit more. I use Logic as my DAW. I expect I will try out the new features in that. I am thinking that using horns on these songs might be a connecting theme. I don't wait for inspiration, I just start constructing. Lyrics, chords, a beat. Just start. Does the next thing work with the last thing. Correct as you go. I really don't think about quality, I just work on it till it sounds like a song. That can be a really Low bar sometimes.EPJoshua TreeCaliforniaUSAhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCckOB_Ft5hY98RnzIMRm_aw
