Overcoming burnout

I had just released an album about a month ago to basically an empty reaction for my project aristocratic orgy.

So I been working forward on about 3 albums worth of rough materials, making music is easy, mixing on the other hand is a total nightmare of back and forth indecision, I went from staying up all night overworking myself to not wanting to even step in my studio, I feel the pressure kinda stems from wanting to finish and release what I have done before my ultimate untimely demise, I can't stop thinking about the projects that I just overwhelmed myself so much all the work that felt fun at one point feels like a very stressful work now, I recently went cold Turkey and it's hard to motivate oneself when life feels so depressing and uninspiring, I feel whats the point Of putting blood sweat and tears into something no one will ever find value within.

I know I need a break but what stops a break becoming a permanent procrastination dismissal of one's ambitions.

I feel like I really need to connect with other musicians however what I creat is not a style anyone would ever want to collaborate with.

The Most underated cure song ever, this is a lie.

The man in suits told Robert that he couldn't release this as a single, which is a shame cause I could definitely see it making a cultural impact for the time it came out.

I made a music video for Aristocratic orgy

Decided to goth up last night and wonder off into the woods to record a video, some advice I was given last time was to make this music more visually theatrical.

Yeah I know it's very very cheesy but can't take everything so seriously, it's all in good fun.

My idea of what would make an interesting roster.

Would have 20 base game characters and 5 unlockable ones, meat would be like the mokujin if you do a certain action on the select screen(basically changes character every turn)

Bring back the ultra tough sub boss and final boss that they would still be intimidating to a playable Shokan.

I was goin for more Grimm darker vibe with this, where I would imagine a mortal kombat game that feels gloomy, that's why I dident include a lot of characters many might consider light hearted, this to me is the roster of sad realm with a desolate kinda vibe.

Lets turn this into a community project

This is a megawad I kept adding too and updating as the years went by, basically everything I have ever made is in here, I got way too ambitious for My own good that I basically burned myself out with the belief I could ever do this entirely myself, so what we have here is the main 30 base levels(with unique themes) I originally made, but me being me I decided that every level should have two exits that all lead to branching pathways, for example all base levels have 5 levels that are in that world, 1st exit being the main pathway which is split into 3 levels, that leads into either of the next 4 base levels, the 2nd(secret exit) takes you into the backrooms where you can branch of to another backrooms level or go 5-6 base levels ahead, meaning you can't play every level in a single playthrough it's a game of consent choices( in lamens terms think the mario secret pipes habitually)

This wad is big becouse it features a lot of custom enemies(probrably over 100) and assets from realm 667, it uses items like Hexen and features pick-ups that permanently increase your base health(should be one in each level)

Meaning it's packed with enough to basically have any theme you want, I do say when making a level consider where you came from and where your goin, the environment should reflect that continuity.

Ask me anything, I look forwarding to working with like minded doom builders.

This is deigned for gzdoom in mind where people jump and crouch, the level slots are already in there what's up for the taking are all the pathways thats a simple room with two teleports. Perhaps state what level slots you arr planning to use so il document what's taken and what's up for grabs.

Looking for musicians into black metal/aggrotech to collaborate with.

Currently I'm making what I can with grooveboxes and synthes, doin extream metal style vocals too(alongside the occasional vapor wave vox for the more mellow parts)..

At the moment what I'm making is basically blackened ebm with an element of sadness and adventure.

​

I feel this could work better if I had some more traditional instruments within the mix, the aspects to ground it more into reality essentially.

​

The project is called aristocratic orgy and I am based in Australia, I have done a few live videos to show off what I been working on to a mix of reactions, using soundcloud currently to put up the work in progress songs I been working on this year

Screaming edm

Here's a live video of me recording the song spirit tomb(devil is grinning) in my bedroom.

​

Wait for the heavy bits to kick in where I start screaming.

The project is called aristocratic orgy.

​

Yes I have no shirt it was a hot day and my cloths become soaked from the song before this one.

Live aggrotech in bedroom

This songs called when the acid trip kicks in.

I'm been streaming my recording sessions, the mix is raw and a little rough around the edges, but i will adjust the levels when it comes to mixing the album, let's see what everyone hates about this.

Wouldn't mind some constructive critism rather then just plain mockery

Mv Seduction gothic aggrotech

Kitties of death is basically an old project that's dead and dusted, but it does give a taste of things to come with the aristocratic orgy, making music videos is something I want to get back into when I have mastered the new album.

Aristocratic orgy, one man aggrotech band

I don't know how I would genre this project, it's like a mix of aggrotech with the structural elements of prog rock and flavour of black metal/vapour wave, I'm in the process of making an album, been doin livestreams at the same time as recording, so your getting to hear the rough mix before I polish it all up on the computer, I'm terrible at promoting myself and thought il just share this youtube playlist with some stuff I have recently cranked out.

Honestly I have always wanted to be in a band but really nobody ever wanted to make music with me so I learned to be a one man band.
