Here's my walkthrough of all the categories in the content bank youtu.be/NzAFLaYxTn8?...

Nothing longer on YouTube yet, but def keep an eye on TheNoiseDepartment on there cause I'll be starting up the long form thing sooner rather than later!

Sweet! I get a lot of DMs elsewhere so ideally I'd like to keep bluesky closed. You don't have any public portfolio anywhere?

Hello hello! Thanks for the reply! Before doing any mockups, do you have a link to a portfolio site I might look at which shows some of your previous work? Ideally anything in the general realm of UI or interface design. Seems like you have a broad skill set!

Shoot me your portfolio if interested! Check out the Noise Dept site for the Serum 1 skin design if curious about the direction. (See first post for images of that)

Keep in mind that custom skins arent officially supported yet, so the dynamic parts of Serum 2 can't change. That stuff is locked behind a json file that isn't exposed to developers yet. But that's the easy part. The hard part is putting a new spin on the PNG graphics.

When I first started covering songs in the "argent metal" style I knew something about it was different then every other metal music I had heard before but I didnt know what it was. Today, I think the answer is about what those soundtracks were trying to accomplish - we just came along for the ride.

Correction - I didn't make up that term, it was someone in my YouTube comments. I just platformed it and it took hold as a memorable phrase over time. I even see companies using it in their ads which is wild.

There's a fine line between "hybrid" music and argent metal - I made up a term relating to @mick-gordon.com figuring out where synths and recorded metal overlap so that people who enjoy it have a term to hold onto. But sometimes I wonder if being eternally stuck to doom was the wrong call.
