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!

Introducing Obsydian Fox

Back in 2013 I was listening to a lot of ambient music. Steve Roach, Rapoon, AUN, Robert Rich, and the like. I wanted to experiment with ambient so I came up with 4 tracks under the name Ohi, that I eventually compiled into an EP this past year. It isn't very good.

So I wanted to create something better in ambient, something that was still experimental with my own unique sound, but that was more serious and delicate.

I changed my ambient music project from Ohi to Obsydian Fox. And I am now working on material that I am more proud of than anything before, I think it is good and hope everyone likes it. I'm calling it "Moonwaves."



My 2025 in Review

This is my 2025 in review. I couldn't figure out what to say, really, because I have a terrible memory and I am sure I'd forget a lo...
