Hi Guys,
At the end of the month, I wanted to provide you a little bonus. So, I took the time and remastered the "Machine God" using my new FET 1176 Style Analog Compressor (Cali 76 TX-L).
There are 2 things that are different in direct comparison:
1). The analog version hits a bit harder and you can hear this especially on the percussive elements like the bass drum and snare.
2). I achieved a bit more clarity.
Overall it is not a night and day difference, of cou...

Hi there!
So, finally, I am able to present the new Track "Blood Infiltration". This track is a bit nuts and took me quite some time to finalize. It is also one of the first tracks that I mastered with the new Cali 76 TX-L Fet 1176 Limiter.
HAPPY BANGING :D

Hi Everyone,
So the full trailer of Ancient Gods Part 2 is out and it looks absolutely epic. So I decided to do my own take on the trailer using music from STTA. Unfortunately, I did not have control over the Sound Effects and Voiceovers, but I try to make an effort still.
Hope you dig it.
Horns up,
Alexander
PS: 2 days, then comes a brand-new piece to you \m/

Hey Guys,
so today morning I put together a short 2-minute video showing a few very short snippets from material that I have been working on plus some stuff that has been released in the past, and some custom things that I created just for the video, mainly breakdown parts and transitions. You can also download the High-Quality lossless version here.

Hi Guys,
Hope you are having a great Friday. This time I thought to share with you a few pictures from the Recording sessions for the new stuff which is coming soon (March and April).
So, yeah. I am loving turning the knobs :D Seriously..there is something very soothing turning knobs on real hardware rather than just clicking the mouse button. Very refreshing. And while I use also plugins..still there is nothing that really replaces a great hardware unit. Sounds a bit old-...

Hello everyone,
Attached is a brand-new Piece entitled "Diabolic". It is a hybrid and the first in the series where I heavily explored quite some new sounds since "Tactical Nuke" and "Electric Weapon Possession" (Both released in the past).
I think I went back a bit to Doom 2016 and checked how I can replicate certain cool sounds like that buzzing chainsaw and mix it with some flavors of Ministry and Nine Inch Nails. Let me know your thoughts about the track.

Hey there!
I hope that you have a fantastic weekend so far.
Since the 80s I am a big fan of the Rambo franchise, specifically from the 3 older classic Rambo movies. My favorite one is definitely Part 2. There is this epic scene at the end of the movie where Rambo grabs a machine gun and just goes wild.
That scene just sums up what kind of action movies we had back in the days. I am 43 right now and I think while I still find also modern action movies watcha...

Hi Friends,
Here is another short tooltip, which I would like to share with you. In fact, in Doom Eternal, there are tons of these modulated distorted phaser sounds. The Source of the Sound can be everything. However, in this example, I show you one trick on how to add interest to a rather conventional Sound.
I have attached 3 files (see bottom of my post). Everything is based on a slightly crunched Rake sound on a guitar string. For anybody who is not familiar ...

Hi Everyone,
So, for the 1st of March, I thought to give you a broader update regarding STTA and the Music.
Since I have not set any stretch goals during the last couple of months, I always felt: What would be the best target goal. In the end, I decided to do the following: I invested the money (Patreon + my own money) to get the Limiter and Compressor that Mick Gordon used to shape and master the Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal Soundtrack.

Hi my friends,
I hope everyone had a great week so far.
Today is something very special. I am very honored to have my music featured in a Doom Eternal Trailer. The trailer was created by "Kruge". He has done several Doom trailers that were received very well by the fans and community. He is also a member of my Patreon. He did an exceptional trailer in my opinion and it is the first time also that I see STTAs music featured in such a professionally well-made video!

Hi Everyone,
Since I am working on a couple of new pieces, here is a preview of yet another piece that is coming to you once I have finished it.
This one is a bit more melodic but also has definitely some edgy parts and sound design elements. It was recorded with my Schecter 7 String which has the ability to create infinite Sustain. I utilized this feature for some Guitar drones and endless squeals in the background of the track.
The Sound ...

Hi friends,
Just a short brief message regarding the recent video release of Apocalyptic Overdrive. In this post, you will find the music track. As a bonus, I have included some High-Quality isolated samples in Wave - Format that was mixed down directly from the song.
Hope you have some fun jamming around with them either for any kind of remix or just for fun.

Hey Everyone,
I proudly present you the next installment "Apocalyptic Overdrive". I honestly felt wiped out by the amount of work that was required to complete this new piece and video. It was very challenging and took me almost 3 weeks of non-stop work. There were days where I got up at 5 in the morning and worked until 7-8 PM in the evening without any decent break.
Having said that, you are my loyal supporters and there is noth...

Hi Everyone,
I hope you are having a great Friday. I would like to share a new piece with you. It is still in production. The title may change since I am not 100 percent sure if I will go by it.
Since some of you are interested in those earlier versions of the tracks, I felt it is a good idea to update you! :-)
Hope you dig the direction.
Having said that, I wish everybody a blast of a weekend.

Hi there,
After having checked the last poll it seems that you would like to see more early-stage / work in progress music and videos. For this reason, I present to you the official Machine God - Early Access video. Since the video is not finished entirely, I appreciate it if you let me know your thoughts on the video, the music, and what you like or think can be improved.
I am extremely passionate about the video and music content I c...

Hello my friends,
I thought to ask you a question. Are you interested in early-stage / work in progress Tracks and also Videos? I ask because I was working the last 2 days on the "Machine God" Video and I would like to share with you a work in progress version. However, I know also that not everybody is into such things. So I ask.
It would be great to get some feedback from you.
Thanks a lot.

Hi, my friends,
so finally I release for you the experimental atmospheric track "Tactical Nuke". The idea behind that piece was to experiment with sounds, no joke. :D As you can probably make out there are 2 reoccurring motifs in the track which keep on repeating.
The idea was to have some sort of an evolving texture around it which changes over time fluently. Although there is not much going on there is a lot more going on under the hood to modulate these...

Hello friends,
During the last couple of months, I did many of those sound experiments. They are very challenging but also fun in order to try out things. Transcribing music and re-creating sounds or even complete mixes were always interesting to me since you can learn so much from them. And so here you have one of those experiments.
While I don´t claim to be nowhere near/close to the original, I think it is a solid start. To go further, I would simply need to spend more t...

So it is an interpretation of course. So let´s get started.
