I had traveled to Erfurt at a strange, meaningless time of year.

Everybody caring about music and its makers should be excited about this artist/member-owned music platform under construction.

Encouragement to follow the amazing artist who composed the cover art for my most recent release @arbredelanuit.bsky.social. Fantastic work to take your mind to new places :)

The idea with this one is to meditate on the sense of foreboding and time passing as the world unravels. Cover art by the amazing arbredelanuit.fr :)

The Valley of Broken Dreams

As part of my ten year anniversary of making music, a remastered edition of the song 'The Valley of Broken Dreams' is now available on Spotify. Besides some cartoon samples all instruments/sounds are created from a single, short lo-fi recording of my violin :) open.spotify.com/track/2XvzlH...

80's style poster showing a road leading to a horizon with skyscrapers; lots of empty space. The text in the corner reads: "Music for an Empty Metropolis. Ørdop Wolkenscheidt. Music For An Empty Metropolis tells the story of a day in the life of a scavenger drifting through the remnants of a giant metropolis. With its former glory long dead and gone, all that is left behind is concrete, dust and broken glass. On his eerie pathways through the ruins he encounters the dangers of a changing world, relics of the past and the inevitable passage of time."

Just wanted to throw out here that my concept EP 'Music for an Empty Metropolis' is available on vinyl!

8 years ago, I came across this digital concept art piece by artist Ron Howard. It's called 'The Sentinel'. Back then, I wrote a piece of electronic music inspired by it. On request from some fans,I put a remastered version up on all streaming services :) wolkenscheidt.bandcamp.com/track/the-se...

thank you, appreciate it!

Thanks for your thoughts. At this point I'm unsure what "making it" even means as even bands that aren't obscure (to me) are not necessarily earning enough money from music to get by. PR always seemed sketchy to me as the "real ones" can be hard to tell from the ones that just want your money.

Question to music Bluesky: I dislike Spotify, their business model, ethics, and how they treat artists, but most of my listeners are there and before they fired the majority of their editorial staff they were the only "tastemakers" that really cared about my music. What would you do? Stay or leave?

I'm probably not a musician of note to you, but if you see the potential for me to be one I would be humbled to be added 🤠

American Hysteria recently made a great podcast episode about this

thank you 🦄

Nothing more nice then arriving at this space and finding that someone has actually complimented one of my album covers here (like a year ago) - the bottom right one!!
It's from the EP 'Requiem for the Enchanted Forest' and was drawn by local Danish fantasy/horror artist legend Kim Heyst :)

I would love to be added as well if there's still space :)

I'd love to be a part of this list.

Credits: The cover art was hand drawn by Aldas (@Aldoarto on IG). Obvious inspiration from the novel Mexican Gothic by @silviamg.bsky.social which I devoured just as I started to work on a musical project about nostalgia and horror in 90's Lusatia.

The illustration shows a rural town nested between some hills, while the moon shines above. There is a tree with two crows on it, a single car. The setting seems slightly derelict, mysterious and melancholic.

Finally got myself to escape the hell of X. Exiting to have a customizable feed with weird art and nice people.

Below is the cover art for 'Lusatian Gothic', my latest release from this September. It's a gothic fiction spin on the post-communist vibe of my childhood in Eastern Germany.

Cheers
