What is it?

Why do you like it?

How do you use it?

When does it shine the brightest?

Would you ever consider replacing it and/or parting with it?

This is more geared towards physical hardware instruments & tools. Feel free to talk about your favorite virtual thing if you'd like. My hope is that this post will be a treasure trove of information for people in the future. Thank you to everyone for sharing! <3

Here's my performance from last night, as heard by my cell phone on the floor in front of the amp.

Performed live with a Roland Juno Di, Elektron Model:Samples with a couple drum loops I programmed before the show, and Boss RC-20XL for live looping. All run through a DV Little Jazz amp.

Live looped DIY dungeon synth is where it's at ⚔️

Hails to Tree Gardener, Desolation Plains, Grace Center, and MNDS. Thank you for listening! <3

Love the composition of these pieces. Fairly diverse instrumentation and orchestral-driven sound with good hooks. I especially like "Emerald Waves". Easy to imagine being at sea with this music.

Cozy sounds to accompany you, complete with piggy wheeks :) have a wonderful day everyone!

A lovely album about trees <3

I'd love to hear how you all approach live performances. Including but not limited to...

How much gear do you bring?

What gear do you bring?

Do you have any innovative ways to transport gear? From vehicle to venue, then back to vehicle?

Do you do any live looping?

Is everything in your set performed live?

Do you use backing tracks? If so, how do you set them up?

Do you sell merch? If so, what kind?

Do you record your performances on audio and/or video? If so, how do you capture it?

If you have other tips or want to ask further questions feel free! Thanks everyone <3

Yesterday I whipped up this little artist & label resource sheet after seeing that some older resource sheets no longer existed. It's a list of companies that make merch - tapes, vinyl, CDs, patches, buttons, shirts, posters, etc. I also included a list of visual artists and labels. I'd love to expand it, so feel free to send suggestions of quality companies that you've had good experiences with.

Greetings. Today I released Xeroxed Castles, a dark & lofi rompler-based dungeon synth journey. huge thank you to Lily of the Valley for including it in their latest release batch!

I have also set up a Bandcodes site with free codes for most of my solo albums.

Enjoy & be kind to one another <3

Dungeon Shambles are hosted every May & October, and are high points in my year. It's wonderful seeing the community come together and amp each other up. Listening to each album really illustrates just how diverse and talented the scene truly is.

Kap is hard at work collecting submissions for the community compilation. We host these on the Dungeon Synth Compilation Bandcamp. If you wish to be on the compilation you can submit one song from your album here: dungeonredditmods [at] gmail. Kap will leave a pinned comment with more info.

A sincere thank you to everyone participating in these challenges. They're fun to organize, and even more fun to complete. It's so great hearing what you all come up with. Till next time <3

Here's my Dungeon Shamble album. It's available on Ampwall & Bandcamp. I made a digital collage of public domain artworks for the album cover. The songs follow a warrior and his animal companion as they hunt down gorgons and destroy them. Songs are sung in their honour. They're given special titles. They come and go as they please, seeking only to find a worthy opponent. Will they meet their match?

The Shamble is half over. How is yours coming along? Have you done any neat experiments? Think up any interesting stories to base the battle synth on?

As for me, i wrapped up my album today. I'm very busy the rest of the month so mine was more of a Dungeon Jog than a Dungeon Shamble. I'll be releasing it after the Shamble ends.

Looking forward to hearing what everyone comes up with!
