A video that I made for Echoes of Light, by Alien Navel Cord. Images were made by me using Midjourney, Dall-E, Leonardo.ai, and others.

Alien Navel Cord

About 12 years ago, I was unemployed. I often listened to music while laying on the floor, half-dreaming and half-paying attention to the soothing sounds of psychill and the energetic sounds of psytrance music. On a shelf nearby, was a lava lamp. The lava lamp had been on at a recent time, and the wax inside was grotesquely half twisted and contorted into what looked like an alien with an umbilical cord attached to the top. Instantly, the thought, "That looks like an alien navel cord" popped into my head. 

A picture of me from 2013 next to the lava lamp that displayed what appeared to be a baby alien attached with an umbilical cord. 

It wasn't until now, though, that I put that term to use, as Alien Navel Cord, a side music project of mine producing psychedelic electronic music. 

I have a Soundclick profile with 2 psybass tracks that I think are finished:

and I have a SoundCloud that has more than just the 2 tracks, but some psytrance and darker stuff:

Check them out, when you have time and leave some notes, I'd love to hear what you think!

Psytrance! - Introducing AlienNavelCord

So my whole time 'making music' since 2000 was mostly just me messing around with samples and loops, and not being serious about it that much. But lately I've been taking it more seriously, trying to make awesome music that people will love.

ManiK Fox is kind of a non-serious project of mine. The music is kind of 'light' . I love psychill and downtempo music but my tracks always end up as mid-tempo. I can never feel patient enough with the tempo I guess.

So I started Obsydian Fox as a side project to allow that patience to sink in, with some experimental ambient music. Still not the best in terms of mixing and sound design.

But I am here to learn now, to be patient with myself as I do so. 

A few weeks ago, I took a pause from creating downtempo/chillout (that ends up being more mid-tempo) and decided to fuck around with 4 on the floor. Breakbeats is usually my style so I wasn't sure what it would end up as, but that is when I realized I am enjoying making psytrance.

It isn't perfect, and I've been rather frustrated trying to get my psytrance music the way I want it, but it is a good frustration. It's an excitement. It is fresh, new, and fun. 

I've been getting some really good advice and feedback, and I feel this may be where I belong. Maybe If I can get good at this style, I may be able to do chillout/psychill better in the future. I'd like to produce some psybass!
