Today I was amusing myself by singing both vocal parts in Gotye+Kimbra's "Somebody That I Used To Know" because I can do stuff like that.

"Id Ova" is on Bandcamp and Ampwall but on Dec 1 you can get it on Tidal, Apple Music, Deezer, etc.
I'm delaying release on Spotify, YouTube, Pandora. I don't know if that will be indefinite. It certainly hurts, not financially, but I lose some promotion options.
Trying to do the right thing.

The Lewitt LCT 440 has been so interesting. You can just point it at a singer, but I think it's such a detailed microphone that it's well suited to someone who wants to learn the quirks of it and also about what it reflects back.

Now I want to try another Lewitt.

I'll topline, write lyrics, or sing on your stuff. Darkwave, industrial, goth rock, new wave, anything I can figure out the rules for.

I promote my music here (oh DO you?) but when I hear that someone else has actually heard it it's mildly upsetting. If a DJ plays it (please do), I feel certain everyone that heard it used that time to go to the loo or pronounced it the most mediocre dreck they have ever had the misfortune to hear.

I really like the Lewitt LCT 440 Pure on my voice. There's a heaviness that creeps in with other mics I own that it doesn't have. It gives me a smooth canvas for EQ.
Still love my AT2035, but it's back in its box.

Waking up to nearly all green bars in my Bandcamp.
(It means someone listened to the whole song without skipping.) Even I don't listen to my songs without skipping.
Thanks to my attentive listener. I hope you liked it.

I love warming up by singing Carpenters songs, because of course, I have to set the bar unattainably high for myself - Karen Carpenter was so amazing.
It's generally in a low alto, and while it's an easy range for me, it's actually a difficult range to sound feminine in. It's a fun challenge.

If I get 3 more followers at hyperestis.bandcamp.com then that's my first 100 on the platform. That might not seem like a lot, but the amount of money I've put into marketing my Bandcamp in particular is fairly small and mostly in person or now, bsky, my only social. I appreciate you all.

Opcode Vision was so great to use. It was sort of object oriented in that your songs could have sequences and subsequences, and you could queue them in any order and play over them.
DAWs today have arrangements or scenes but there was something about Vision on a Mac SE that was pure synthpop.

The reason I only have two followers on Tidal is I don't have a Lewitt LCT-440 microphone. It's a lack of smoothness in the 6-10k range that is keeping listeners from fully committing. Maybe that shit flies on Spotify, but the Tidal audience demands more of me. Guess I'd better buy it.

All 3 of the Hyperestis albums have only the letters A, D, I, O and V in the titles. It ties them all together, and is very silly, but once I started I couldn't stop.
The next album will have a normal name.
I think.
Probably.

Weirdly I think my depressing music is almost too perky to be darkwave or goth. "New Wave" is practically meaningless and is in any case not new. I have too many guitars for it to just be "synth pop" or "electronic" but not enough to be "indie rock".
It's so stupid.
