What is this, like witch house? Stop making up genres.

>>69637259
Yeah, this is brilliant. Not a fan of the bm stuff but the ds is super comfy.

>>69637305
This genre is older than you, buddy.

>>69637305
yes it's like witch house
it's shit and not good at all
patricians like you can't enjoy it

This is some runescape shit

I had something more along the lines of Juiblex in mind, but You Can't Do That On Television was a childhood staple of mine, man.

>>69639639
where can i find more spooky dungeon pixel art wallpapers like this?

You have some comfy ideas in ur music mane but the synths seem pretty loud and a little jarring for my taste, could be just me tho. You should aim to release more for sure

>>69639458
Do it. It's much more exhilarating than collecting other physical media in that cassette runs will appear very suddenly in incredibly small numbers, then disappear forever.

Oblivion is very underrated. The dungeons have a great kvlt vibe; one mission that always comes to mind is that one where you have to fight the hunters in that island castle dungeon.

>>69640555
I just emailed him. You can see for yourself the vinyl edition is selling out at the moment.

>>69640103
Have any of your cassettes had like the tape snap or anything? That worries me a bit

>>69641308
just tape it back together

>>69641395

I keep trying to make things with medieval vibes but I can't really use DAWs that well. I got some crappy yamaha keyboards though.

Should dungeon synth not be made with hardware instruments? Should I just try to use a DAW?

Not really played them enough for that to be a possibility, but as a kid I don't recall it happening ever really.

>>69642663
Thank you, it's not supposed to be 100% serious

How does one go about getting tapes made?

>>69644001
just get blank tapes and make a rip

>>69644024
This, most of the DS tapes I've bought are random old albums with the labels scratched off.

Posting a current favourite of mine.

I would highly recommend you all listen to this asap

How exactly does one go about making DS? Do you just need a midi keyboard and a DAW/VST? How exactly do they work?

>>69639431

listening to this now anon - beautiful intro

>>69645266
Great album. Strong contender for DSAOTY.

>>69640619
it looks like a recommendation chart for introducing people to black metal

>>69645351

i couldn't name any other 2016 releases (as I'm new to DS), but this is one of my albums of the year full stop.

Blows my mind how good this genre can be. Takes me back to watching Conan and old shitty fantasy movies in the 80's as a kid.

>>69645069
I've only beaten the first (US) release last year finally, easily on of my favorite of all time. The Souls games are fun and all but I've been itching for a new kf entry.

is this Dungeon Synth?

>>69645299
you just need a DAW like FL studio and any cheap vst or soundfont. I find the more mechanical sounding the better rather than live playing

>>69642713
this is black metals brother genre, being lo-fi is never a bad thing

Wasn't there talk of a new Tyrannus release in the last thread? Doesn't the artist himself post here?

Solanum - Spheres of Time

This is from one of the dudes of Depressive Silence. It's like a spiritual successor with a more spacey feel.
I wasn't aware it existed until recently.

>>69639448
fuck yeah
Oblivion the comfiest game

>>69644024
DO you do this by plugging just right into like the microphone port of the tape recorder? I guess I have all the equipment I just don't know if that works

>>69646486
Yeah I'm not going to be able to do that until like the very end of the year or beginning of January. I listen to dungeon synth any month so if people are still interested come January then it should be ready. You guys wanna keep these threads up year round if we can?

>>69647596
>>69647552
Also if I can get this tape ripping setup going then I'll make some tapes

Thanks man, I haven't worked on this project for a while but Im feeling pretty inspired with the feedback

>>69647947

Can confirm this was pretty great too anon.

Well done.

How many copies of a cassette would you recommend making if you're a pretty no-name artist?

>>69649754
4,000

>>69649754
Made to order is probably the best idea.

>>69649754
50

Perfect amount for if you become a big name, they'll gain value.

>>69649862
Okay that sounds good to me. I'm playing around with my tape recorder now and I don't want to make a lot of these rn haha

>>69649929
I say that because it's what I've seen small bandcamps do. Unless you plan on selling them somewhere in real life.

>>69649754
Depends on if you are involving a third party/who it is. If you have the materials and ability to dub, >>69649862 is not a bad idea depending on the volume of orders. If using the third party, tapes are relatively cheap so 50-100 should be plenty if you're confident in the release.

>>69649995
Ah yikes I'm just recording them all myself

>>69646486
Id buy a Tyrannus cassette

>>69650129
Yeah I'm working on making them now. I just recorded my first copy on a blank tape I had

>>69650172
>>69650129
Okay the first copy has been officially made. I'm going to make like three since I don't really have many blank tapes rn then tomorrow I'll print out the album art and then put it up on bandcamp. If those three copies sell then I can make a bit more later on or something but this is what I'm doing for now, if anyone's interested

>>69650396
which album?

>>69650458
I'm doing Kingdom but if people want I can put Solitude on the B side although that's sort of a pain

>>69650518
Is it true you are doing a collaboration album with Chaucerian Myth?

>>69650588
This is news to me although if Mr. Myth we're to reach out to me I'd be down. Man I'm not sure where these rumors start

>>69650619
*were to

>>69650619
there was a pagoda mast thread

>>69650678
Yeah that turned out really shitty, assuming you mean that "hey guys do you like noise" thread. I didn't start that...and I ended up being called a meme...but I mean it wasn't all bad I guess. It's exposure? Anyway did that rumor emerge in that thread or something? Just curious

Anyone have a link to download Taur-nu-Fuin by Thangorodrim in 320 kbps and splitted in three tracks?. Somehow I purchased the one-track version of the album and I would like to have the three songs' versions.

Thank you fellow friends.

>>69651106

>>69645988
Yes.

I'm finally actually checking out Chaucerian Myth and holy fuck. The Reeve's Tale may be one of my favorite DS tracks ever

>>69652502
The Wife of Bath's Tale is my personal favourite.

>>69652767
Ah that one will be on in a bit. I'd probably be there right now if I didn't keep going back

>>69652854
>>69652767
Ooh yeah this track is pretty good so far

Why are so many great DS artists from like random midwestern states and stuff? For something with such a European feel it has a lot of prominent American artists

>>69653573
Within genres , influence can happen anywhere, but inspiration only happens in specific places.

>>69637259

This is the first time I've heard of this but I'd buy the crap out of that album, man

Alright, sorry for blog post in advance, but you guys seem friendly and willing to help.

I'm a total noob when it comes to making music. I've only made 2 tracks and only released one, and I made both of those in a crappy free download windows app.
I like the fact that ds doesn't rely on advanced musical knowledge, and I like creating more ambient, experimental stuff anyway, so I'd really like to get into making it. I have a lot of ideas but no way of realizing them.
What's the easiest (free) program to use for this?
I really don't want to have to take months to learn a complicated program, not because I'm lazy about it and trying to take shortcuts, but because I feel like it will hinder my creativity and spontaneous flow. If y'all can help me at all, I will love you even more than I do now.

tl;dr,
what's the best free music production program for a total babby newfag?

Bretty gud, not particularly dungeon-synthythough. Lots of strings and acoustics, felt more like the soundtrack to a radio play. Still nice though.

Thanks for introducing me to this genre, guys. It's so good.

Anyone have recommendations for video games that fit this aesthetic? I saw King's Field and Elder Scrolls mentioned, what else?

>>69661423
Is chaucerian myth new this year? If so, him

>>69661440
his moniker is new. I wonder if he is under a different name

Ideally, how long should a dungeon synth album be?

>>69661896
I'd say 40 minutes but there are many great albums that are longer

>>69661896
30-60 minutes

>>69661757
Any suspicions as to who it may be?

>>69661896
All the best DS albums are 30-40 minutes. I've rarely seen good stuff longer than that.

>>69662183
There was a lot of dedication put into this album because of how each song matches the book. I'm surprised he just cropped a that picture for the cover and did nothing else to it.

What's the appeal in "dungeon synth", and why are we having 100+ post threads about this genre all of a sudden?

it's not bad, I listened to the album in the OP, but it sounds a bit like an video game OST

>>69662651
the appeal is that it sounds like old video game OST

>>69662651
1. It's comfy af
2. It has a loyal and generally smart fanbase
3. There are hardly any places to discuss it
4. What's wrong with videogame soundtracks?

>>69662200
It doesn't really matter how long it is as long as its good. It could be a 3 minute song for all I care

Been listening to this bad boy lately, pretty damn good.

Hey guys, just fyi, mount & blade warband and the original are both on huge sales on steam right now. Warband is $5.99 and I think M&b is $2.99.

>>69663021
I'm always surprised at how much dungeon synth there is that I had no idea about

>>69663175
Yeah. The naysayers saying there isn't enough out there to warrant these threads haven't dug very deep.

>>69663260
Seriously. Just look at the tag on bandcamp and filter by location.
I live in Texas, so i put that in just for kicks, and there were pages and pages of albums. It's pretty great.

Someone on /dsd/ might find this interesting:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgDYeJtCdM0

It's turkish psychedelic rock from the 80s, but it uses a lot of synths and trad. folk melodies which makes it slightly overlap with DS.

>>69668010
Oh yeah I've been thinking of doing that too

>>69667995
Those aren't too hard to come by!

>>69670057
Thanks. Can't wait to listen while playing some vidya. I loved the story when I read it in high school so looking forward to this.

>>69670076
Speaking of vidya I bought baldur's gate off steam and damn that is a good DS companion game

>>69673836
having a /dsg/ would be pretty neat, wouldn't fill up with shitters like all other generals here

>>69673955
>wouldn't fill up with shitters like all other generals here
h-haha r-right guys?

>>69673973
hopefully it doesn't.

>>69673988
it's been pretty good so far. the only people who post here seem legitimately into ds

first time listening to this and it's pretty gosh darn good

https://fief.bandcamp.com/album/i

>>69645266

Finally got around to checking this out. What an amazing album. The drums on track 2 are so sinister.

>>69651106

There's 4 tracks on the album

>>69641308
I have 400 tapes and never had one snap on me. not even one's I've played in fucked up walkmans 50 times

>>69671493
This is fucking awesome and I can't find it on slsk

>>69677813

nvm it's on band camp for free lol

Is there like a "must listen list" for dungeon synth or should I just jump in and listen to whatever tickles my buttcheeks

>>69677872

just jump right the fuck in, but check out Lord Lovidicus and Erang for the "heavy hitters" of the genre although i'm personally not incredibly fond of either of them.

>>69677813
Yeah, it's on bc, the Trollman stuff is on slsk.
The live show (!) gets fairly noisy too:

Yeah so far it's hard to imagine this going astray but we'lol see

>>69636736
Guys, a internet friend of mine created a DS forum at the request of the people in the DS fb group. Can I post the link to it or it is against the rules? It is still pretty sterile look-wise so don't complain about that still.

>>69678610
*we'll
Not sure why that happened

Who is the Gerogerigegege of Dungeon Synth?

>>69678875
I'm not sure there is one

>>69678652
go ahead and post it

My local card/board game shop has always plays this stuff. I never knew what it was called though.

>>69679491
Now I want to open such a shop so I can play this music all the time

best release Ive heard all year save for Chaucer

>>69680143
Thanks! Although I'm sure there's been tons of other better stuff.
>>69673672 is pretty great if you haven't heard it but thanks again!

>>69680091
I find this kind of artist-fan interaction really cool.

>>69678652
post it friendo

>>69680257
Yeah I wish it was more common. People don't want to be known for shilling their stuff I guess but I mean I think you can do it in a non-annoying way

Thangorodrim is new this year right? I'd say he's pretty great

>>69679404

Here you are. Sorry for being late.
http://dungeonsynth.proboards.com/

>>69680814
Cool! I need to think of a good thread to make

>>69680958
Maybe we could stick this to to next /dsd/ thread? This way everyone will have somewhere to go after Dungeon-Synth December ends.

>>69681482
Assuming /dsd/ doesn't just become /dsg/ but yeah!

>i've never heard of this so it must be a madeup genre

fuck these trap rap and "indie" fans that come into every ds thread to bitch about people actually discussing music

god this board is shit. i don't even listen to dungeon synth very much but these are the only worthwhile threads on /mu/ now that /metal/ has just become a metal themed shitposting thread

>>69681963
/mu/ is not really a haven of musical discussion, nor was it ever. But I understand your plight

>>69681939
i dont know if it has enough energy or content to make it a year round general but thats my opinion

>>69682024
Maybe...maybe that forum will? I guess we'll see

>>69682024
If dungeon synth in and of itself doesn't move fast enough, we should expand our horizons to discuss other dark ambient music as well as ambient black metal and folk metal music.

>>69682119
Like im not saying turn this into a multi-genre general, but if some non-DS music is making strides in a medieval/folk/ambient direction, we should be able to discuss and appreciate that here.

>>69682119
or we could just have it ever other week like we used to

>>69682119
>folk metal music
Aaand we get overridden by Alestorm fans

We could just left the flowery thing out I guess

I made my own Dungeon Synth. Completely authentic audio. I used my toe for synth and hands on guitar and vocals too. It's pretty dark. https://youtu.be/TiE9K9EdfxU

>>69682938
We'd end up with some /trad/ and sick shit in there so that'd be cool. I'd be down for /fantasy/ also

>>69682913
too meta man

https://clyp.it/e540nkjy

They're playing DS or something comparable in my shrink's office. I took a recording

>>69682955
does anyone know some good medieval music then? I am having trouble finding music that isn't just vocal chanting

>>69683181
tons of ambient sounds like DS. I was listening to the ambient radio station and thought the same thing.

>>69683181
Thats from the Game of Thrones OST

>>69683367
Alfonso X - Cantigas de Santa Maria

Really great stuff. Similar lo-fi sound to Hedge Wizard, honestly, though the composition may not quite match it. Wouldn't be surprised if this person used a similar recording technique. Still thoroughly enjoyable.

>>69683472
Oh lmao. Is that franchise considered kvlt? I personally don't care for it

>>69684751

How funny is it that the pleasant good vs evil, elf songs and tasty food book is the biggest Dungeon Synth influence out there, but the fantasy series that tries to be dark and edgy isn't considered kvlt?

>>69684743
Oh yeah that was mentioned earlier. Very good 2016 DS, and dark souls inspired

>>69684769
That series has a fucking lot wrong with it, but yeah that forced darkness is up there

>>69684751
the original book yeah, the show nah.

Listening to the new Tyrannus release. Its relaxing

>>69684954
Hey, glad you're liking it! New demo out later this month, I'm hoping. I think I got some things right with the atmosphere but I want to have more interesting instrumentation next time around

>>69685343
I'm not the guy you were replying to, but how the fuck there are so many DS musicians here, it's absurd.

>>69685452
DS is, relative to some other things, not too too hard to make and so I think a lot of people dabble

>>69685452
we are half the community

>>69685981
There's also this factor here...

Yikes I'm worried about running out of downloads for the month on bandcamp...this thread I think is bringing a lot of attention to my site

>>69689087
which one are you?

Tyrannus probably.

please reserve the term dsd for direct stream digital files, thank you.

This guy puts you right in the dungeon. All his releases are top-notch.

>>69692074
yeah I'm a fan!

Which do you prefer? Stark, atmospheric minimalism or lush, immersive arrangements?

>>69692662
Generally the first, but it really depends more on how it's used. Erdstall uses really epic, orchestral-sounding arrangements, and he's one of my favourites.

>>69693172
We actually are almost at bump limit. I didn't think we'd make it. It's really died down

>>69691017
>who the fuck reads books
wow i didn't realize /dsg/ was so plebeian

>>69693248
It isn't, a lot of people /lit/ here. However a lot don't and I think a diversity of opinions and preferences is natural and healthy. That hombre was a bit obtuse perhaps

>>69693248
B-but I praised Kafka anon...

>>69693309
fair enough

on that note what are the best books to read while listening to ds?

>>69693363
Aside from the obvious LOTR and fantasy tales that's hard to say. I am tempted in trying this combo out but my attention span isn't so great. I feel like some nonfiction might be cool. Medieval shit

>>69693363
Lord of the Rings is the classic DS book.

>>69693409
Fuck, I forgot the Canterbury Tales. There's even a matching album now.

>>69693363

Julius Evola, for sure.

>>69693432
I might do this over winter break. Gonna get comfy at a local bookstore with some hot tea and some ds

>>69682938
maybe a /kvlt/ for DS and BM discussion

>>69693557
that would be the complete opposite of kvlt and pretty much deserve the amount of shitposters its begging for

>>69693605
Yeah I mostly assumed it'd be a bad idea but I thought I'd suggest it

>>69691390
see
>>69674959

Okay, I'm gonna make a sticky for future threads. What should be in it? A brief description of the genre, link to the wiki, list of /mu/tant DS artists, anything else?

Please put in the dungeon-synth forum that was created recently. If we get enough people in there it could justify the admins spending money into it to get a custom layout, etc. The link is http://dungeonsynth.proboards.com/

>>69696130
Yeah, I like them both a lot, but II is the one I bought. It's a shame, because I has the vastly superior cover.
