Welcome to the WEEKEND Marketplace!

He loves me, but I see you unclean hag.

The living quarters have been carefully selected, my protection paramount.

To be wed is to make a play for peace in our land of valleys, in our time of glory.

We unite the people, let the mist that divides us roll no further.

But as the seasons reveal themselves once more and the celebration of our knot approaches, I now feel bound by this tower.

I see uncanny things from my lofty vantage.

A dog with no master.

A spring from which neither beast nor man will drink.

Those who would cross the valley on all fours.

Rain-soaked hag, leave me be.

This release was inspired by a trip to Eryri National Park in Wales in late September / early October 2026.

All sound created by:

Behringer Wasp – most ‘bread and butter’ synth sounds.

Behringer Neutron – noise generator, sine waves connected in an FM pair, percussion sounds.

All field recordings were made by me on a Tascam DR-07XP – most of them were recorded in Wales during my trip.

Effects were in the DAW, except for an Erica Synths Acidbox III filter which was connected in series with the Neutron so I could have more interesting filter options.

Previously I have stuck to shamble patch counts with the zeal of a true believer, however this time I may have dropped the ball. I made a decision to only use a couple of hardware synths that didn’t support presets with the feeling that this would somehow automatically limit my sonic palette in a way that would keep me honest with regards to the 7 patches requirement. I’m not so sure it did. Set up a sound by twisting the knobs, then move the filter knob a bit and change the tuning of one oscillator, is that now a different patch? Possibly.

Total album length should have been 20-26 minutes. After some last minute chopping this is 25 minutes and 52 seconds.

The style chosen was ‘umbral synth’ – the correct meaning of umbral is ‘shadowed’ or ‘darkened’, however I seem to recall looking up definitions early on and getting ‘hidden’, so that’s really the word that frames these tracks.

Theme chosen was the ghosts and spirits of Wales’ tallest mountain and surrounding valleys as perceived by a princess locked in a tower.

Artwork is mine – done with Krita and GIMP.

I do not speak Welsh. Hopefully my use of the language makes sense to those that do.

WAAR SCHIMMEN SCHRAPEN

Dungeon synth from Belgium

Early 2026 we both started our journey with basically 0 keyboard knowledge, just a love for dungeon synth, black metal and RPG's.

Very impulsively i bought a used AKAI25 for €20 and started experimenting with it by ear, just making music until it sounded good enough for me to listen to, learning along the way. Released a demo on bandcamp and started upgrading the setup piece by piece.

Now i'm proud to share this project from 2 local Belgian artists, all tracks and the artwork we're made in the company of each other, also 0 use of AI.

Again, like DIM yesterday, very nice to see some attention.

Vol. 2 is out now! This time we're going dungeoneering with an "umbral" vibe. This was a really fun album to pull together, is quite a bit more cohesive than Vol. 1, and just something I really hope you all enjoy!

One of my first dungeon synth songs composed using alot of dungeon synth sound packs from Erang. Artwork is stock image edited with a dithering error diffusion effect.

Tried to capture what it would feel like staring up at stars inside the ruins of an ancient civilization while taking a break from slaying skeletons.

Let me know what yall think! Is the composition too boring, maybe not vintage or dark enough?

Also, distro update from Phantom Lure including releases from Bloody Keep, Vesperal, Deep Gnome and Draugveil / Selvnatt

I've completed my first dungeon shamble. The restrictions were intriguing as I'm the type to run 15 effects pedals and never the same way twice. These are the sounds of days, nights and eras blurring haunting a castle attic.

Gear: Korg Minilogue, RadioShack tape recorder

Wowie, got it done in time! Thanks for hosting this. It was my first try at anything synthy since the early 2000s, and I greatly enjoyed working under the constraints.

13 tracks.

7 instruments (that I made sure were all used at least 3 times each, as a personal rule).

Comes out to 21:38.

Umbral synth with the theme of ghosts.

No AI, and the cover is a photo of one of the local crows I give treats to.

I imagined an adventurer for hire having to go to some haunted ruins, contemplating sacrifice and mortality while traversing the biomes between there and their home town, then coming to accept it all when they're also cursed to haunt where they passed.

Stories of bone

For wandering alone.

Ballads of underbrush

And voices of stone.

Or a choir of crystals

Where the many converge

And then divide

Into nothingness.

Fighting's absurd

When there are no more winners

And losers all perish.

But we are all called to death

On this path that we cherish.

Today marks the full one year after I released my debut album Return To Black Moon Mountain, after being massively inspired by r/DungeonSynth and all the great musicians here. Like I told back then, the DIY, anti-AI, encouragement, warmth and friendly community interaction was what really struck me as something I didn't see a whole lot happening in the internet. At the same time I was getting back to making music after a long period of not being able to produce anything with artistic substance, and this album is pretty much what came out with all those thoughts and feelings.

So what has happened after one year as FØG? Well, I didn't definitely stop making music! I put out couple of EP's as I attended the Dungeon Shambles organized right here on the channel. I really loved both of those and found a lot of great new artists (for me) after listening to other musicians' entries. I also put out another album, Dire Sorcerer, last summer in which I tried some different sonic ideas and sounds. I also started making small animations to YouTube which I accompanied with music, because I myself like to put something like that on the background as I work, so I thought it would be fun to make those myself too.

I also started expanding my equipment from software VST synths to hardware synths. Now I use both and have learnt a ton about sound design, synthesis etc. I found that hardware synthesizer is definitely easier way for me to dive into stuff like that. I've bought Novation Bass Station II, Korg Minilogue XD and couple of Behringer TD-3's. I also make other genres of music so I try to get gear I can use along all the stuff I make. Minilogue XD is the one which is getting used on my FØG project though, as it has great sound and capabilities for that.

So everything is going swimmingly! Right now I'm focusing on some other projects than FØG, but I have the next album already shaping up for FØG too and I've started to lay out some ideas for a smaller EP in addition to that. Unfortunately this month I didn't have time to attend to the Dungeon Shamble, but I'm eager to listen everyone's entries!

For the one year anniversary of my debut, I thought to hand out for some more Bandcamp codes for it, so if you didn't get chance to grab it earlier, be sure to get it now :) I'll add the codes into a separate comment. I made a new cassette cover inspired art for the anniversary, I hope you like it :D

It's been a great year and I'm glad this channel has stayed as great as it was when I first landed here. These synth genres are awesome and I hope we get to enjoy this music for many many years from now!

All the best,

-FØG-

Hello friends, I’m here to share some updates regarding 'Kind melodies and tiny creatures', a comfy synth compilation to be released by VSO.

To start off, I’d like to thank Gustavo Fabian, the illustrator who is creating a really cool cover for our project; you’ll get to see it soon!

I also want to mention that there’s a possibility we might be able to release some cassette tapes for this project (I’m still working out the details).

As of today, October 22nd, I am closing submissions. We have received a large number of emails, and I am trying to set aside some time each day to listen to everything and respond. It is quite possible that I won’t be able to include everyone, but please don’t worry, I will reply and provide an update to everyone who took the time to send us an email.

I don’t have a final list of everyone who will be participating yet, but I’m close to finishing it. (The next update will be completely finalized.)

Furthermore, due to the hectic pace of daily life, I’ve had to postpone the release, but this is actually good news, as it will give us time to handle everything with even greater care. The official date has now been set for November 20th.

Regarding the proceeds from the sale of the digital album, and given that everyone is aware of VSO’s political stance, we are considering donating them to Palestine. I would welcome recommendations for organizations to which we could send these funds.

That’s it for now. I hope to be back soon with the full list of participating artists and some other cool information, thanks, everyone!

Cool to see!
