I make music and sometimes do other stuff. Most notably, I'm the main guy behind @DESoffal

Being 32 feels the same as being 31🤔 For some reason I already felt like I was 32 for months, though, so maybe that's why

[Vlürch @vlyrch]

I feel like I just committed treason (against myself)... I un-brickwalled a song😱 It's a chill song so brickwalling it felt wrong, but the temptation to brickwall it anyway is very strong

[Vlürch @vlyrch]

Just found some random vocal recordings I made in 2019 that I never used... about to build some songs around them. My hearing has been going down the drain, but I want to throw together a new album this year. I have enough finished songs for an EP, but I don't like EP's, so...🫢

The 2023 DES album "Warped Technological Fever Dreams" has now been re-released with the samples replaced with original recordings, so you can buy it if you want for some reason. Also includes instrumental versions of all the songs just because: https://t.co/bRfuX73aBl

[Vlürch @vlyrch]

Here's a remastered compilation album of some of my darkest and heaviest songs, not that anyone cares lol🫣 https://t.co/oukuLJvuzR

PS: It's not free because being 30 has made me realise that being "leftist" and "DIY" doesn't have to mean saying "no" to money🥲 Sorry tbh haha

Since joining Threads (where I got banned immediately) and Bluesky (which no one uses), Twitter has been slow and broken...😐

[Vlürch @vlyrch]

If we're all supposed to leave Twitter, why are the Twitter alternatives even worse? I swear social media is heading for obsolescence, if it hasn't reached that yet😒

[Vlürch @vlyrch]

Idea: dating site for musicians with two algorithms, one determines based on your music how compatible you are as bandmates and another based on everything else how compatible you are as romantic partners. Well, personally I'd probably end up even MORE single, but...🤔

[Vlürch @vlyrch]

I figured I'd make some of my releases on Bandcamp "name your price", just in case someone wants to pay for some reason lol... https://t.co/ltDRZyVmAP

NOOO, DAVID LYNCH DIED??? I guess now he eternally joins the legends...

[Vlürch @vlyrch]

Obligatory tweet about music... sorry for not releasing even an EP last year, if anyone cares. I had one otherwise finished song left but no opportunity to record vocals, so I decided it's better to postpone it. I plan to record on Saturday

[i̯e̞] is the sexiest diphthong and [ʏ̯ɵ̞] is the cutest. For example, the Finnish word "tietyö" ("roadwork") is sexy and cute, even though its meaning is not. Anyone is free to disagree, I'm not trying to start an argument, just tweeting my opinion. Did I sleep last night? No🤠

[Vlürch @vlyrch]

No language has [ᵐɓ͡ʙ ⁿɗ͡ɮ ᵑɠ͡ɣ], but one should because bruh🥵

[Vlürch @vlyrch]

Alright, he deleted it. I guess I should email Soundcloud support to say it's water under the bridge now.

[Vlürch @vlyrch]

This user on Soundcloud used an instrumental version of a DES song without permission and misrepresents it as a collab. I commented asking to at least not misrepresent it. He deleted the comment, messaged me to say he'd take it down if I want but blocked me before I could reply.

[Vlürch @vlyrch]

So I ended up reporting it, nothing else I can do. I wouldn't have if he didn't block me, but of course I want it taken down. The audacity of taking my song, recording vocals to it and pretending it's a collab is insane. That's not sampling or even plagiarism, it's being a dick.

[Vlürch @vlyrch]

What pisses me off is that I'm clear about this: if you ask to use a song I made, for anything, I WILL SAY YES. Almost guaranteed. At the very least tell me if you want to be a dick and not ask. Sampling, you don't even have to tell. But do NOT pretend it's a collab if it's not.

[Vlürch @vlyrch]

There won't be a 15th anniversary DES release, by the way. Not because of that bullshit, just that I don't have enough time to record vocals, etc. We'll finish a bunch of songs next year or whenever, but it won't be an anniversary release or anything special. After that, dunno.

[Vlürch @vlyrch]

Everyone's tweeting about Linkin Park's new vocalist, so... her main vocal style sounds very strained!? Maybe her technique is fine (doubt it), but sounds painful. Not like channeling inner pain, like it physically hurts. If the band and fans are into it, good for them, though🤔
