Following the rant I wrote earlier on Bandcamp's new system payment, I decided to start building Faircamp sites for my musical projects.

It's not really a complex work, but it's a tedious one, right now I made S4TVR4TI0N and Corruption Unit (I "hide" the link to the former in the last album, in the artwork).

Next one on my TODO list is probably Torpeur, and updating the Project status to add the Faircamp links.

I'm also thinking about changing the blog engine here, and use a static site generator. Nothing wrong with PluXML - the current one - I just need some changes. But it's more a long-term project, lots of research to make.

Now, I don't know if I'll release new stuff exclusively on my Faircamp or if I double post in Bandcamp too. Still, if you have a RSS reader and like my work, I suggest you add these RSS feeds 1 - 2. Don't feel obligated though.

I guess that's it, said all I want to say. Take care of yourself, and be kind to others.

Edit: Portal for all Faircamps are here

Maybe you didn't notice, but I put all my bandcamp's album on Free Download recently.

The new "payment system" (Stripe) won't work with me, not for the 4 to 5 albums a year I sell on it. Paypal, with all its flaws worked quite well for me and I don't want to change for Stripe. Also I don't care if I make money on my music, I put all my productions in "Name your price" for folks to have the albums in their collection, and put one album per Bandcamp with a minimum price to allow same folks to buy the full discography for cheap. But it ends now.

I don't know the future of the platform, but I'm not really optimistic, at least about my future on the platform. So I made backup of all my albums, and start thinking about hosting all of them here, on a place where I have full control.

I will lose some of the people who follows me and listen to all my work - I thank you a lot for that by the way, and the "promotion" would be more difficult to make, but I'm not sure I'd have a choice in a near future and even though, getting out is something I think about for a long time. And all of the con listed here are the sacrifice for not being locked-in.

Of course the releases on Bandcamp will stay where they are, but it's probable I won't publish anything here, sooner or later.

Anyway, thanks for reading my little rant, thanks for following me, and most of all thanks for listening my work, it means everything to me.

Take care of you, and be kind to others.

Hi there!

About a week ago, the Harsh Noise Wall generator I worked on since at least a year was good enough in my opinion to get release to the public

It have some cool features (at least I think so), to hear one example, the last Torpeur album was made with it

It's still a work in progress, some things will not work on your machine, and some bug will eventually appear. I can help you if anything got wrong, of course, but I do not guarantee anything, this software come as is.

If you want to try it out, here's the link of the release, if you release stuff made with it, feel free to send it my way, and please add a link to the release page in your album credit

That's all for me! Have a good one!

Edit : The test releases is now private, thanks all of you that gives me feedback

Edit 2 : The HNW Generator is now alive
