New Song announcement - A Canvas Without Stars (Check Description) DM DOKURO 2023-11-25 | youtube.com/watch?v=hTGkNX5vxNoi made a track for Eclipsed Sounds' newest SynthV voice, SAROS, and it is finally out. i'd have to say their voice is exactly what i'm looking for in a powerful and versatile tenor. knowing how i make stuff, though... i'd like to imagine i gave SAROS a pretty neat challenge.

[VOLUME WARNING] DM DOKURO - the confusion of being human (instrumental) DM DOKURO 2023-07-26 | ain't nothing more terrifying than watching someone silently fall apart.
[VOLUME WARNING] DM DOKURO - the confusion of being human DM DOKURO 2023-07-22 | a track from "They Know Who They Are" - the inner mind tears apart when trust as a concept begins to lose meaning after having been wasted countless times before by many people you once looked up to. The unraveling begins as soon as you start questioning what every encounter with them was all for.it gets even worse when you had to mentally survive to appease them.perhaps they didn't care. that, or they remain silent from thinking they can't do anything about it. either way, even this violent rumination goes ignoredand once again, the dread takes away what little instance of hope was given.Synthesizer V voices used: Ritchy & Mai

DM DOKURO - the beacon DM DOKURO 2023-06-22 | a track from "They Know Who They Are" - a young interloper is done seeing the melancholy and drama filling the void where a colossal project once was; intervention proceeds in the form of a song radiating with an ignorant, yet believable positivity that may be doing more harm than good. also of note, why is this voice dragging the other voices into this mess? to try and lessen the consequence of their actions by having scapegoats?that was never how it worked to begin with.

[LOOP] Glass Structure (Molten) DM DOKURO 2023-06-11 | the Glass Structure series is a collection of short compositions that didn't quite make it as fully-made tracks, resurrected into what will later be used as Coffee Break's new background music. This, however, is a tiny exception - A loop of the chorus section of "to live lies", without any effects like distortion and reverb to fatten it up. Nothin' special, but it IS interesting.and it's the first render in the glass structure series with an error that isn't intrusive enough for me to delete the video and do it all over again.TWITTER: twitter.com/DMDOKUROPATREON: patreon.com/user?u=3253745DISCOGRAPHY: dmdokuro.bandcamp.com

[LOOP] Glass Structure (Deep Teal) DM DOKURO 2023-03-25 | the Glass Structure series is a collection of short compositions that didn't quite make it as fully-made tracks, resurrected into what will later be used as new background music. [lore alert - description holds something]... her name is Laura Palasthund. usually, she works at a cafe somewhere in the next city(?) over. in her sleep, however, she often finds herself outside of her own realm of dreams, guiding others back to their own before something looming in the distance has the chance to destroy their physical forms without a trace.there isn't a lot that's known about her, except that she always looks out for her wife's stubborn "baby brother" and cheerful nephew... who she likes to prank by completely shifting her personality between the two of them. one sees a quiet and laid-back voice of reason (what you're listening to atm). the other sees a near-superhero athlete with a grin just as bright as his own. though she herself... remains a mystery, even to the ones who know and love her.either way, so long as she's protecting the Subconscious Realm... she will make the work of a particular villain extremely complicated.DISCOGRAPHY: dmdokuro.bandcamp.com
[tiny update/teaser] still working on things, as usual DM DOKURO 2023-03-19 | there's a glass structure that'll be quite important being uploaded later on, but for now, have this while you wait - tiny teaser of that one track i finished for "They Know Who They Are". hoping to finish another track as well so i can safely say the first part of the album is done. the tracks after, though... those will be a bit more challenging. in reality, though, i have 6 tracks left to complete, and each one will be just as impactful as the last. to those of you who have been tolerating this moment of introspection for this long, i thank you for at least putting up with it. i'll get to the more happy-sounding stuff (No Hints Here) once this album's done.
[LOOP] Glass Structure (Slate Blue) DM DOKURO 2023-02-09 | the Glass Structure series is a collection of short compositions that didn't quite make it as fully-made tracks, resurrected into what will later be used as new background music. This song plays whenever our friend from the Subconscious Realm gets too stuck in her thoughts, often getting stuck in long-winded monologues of morale and balance.if this wasn't obvious by now, i still really want to work on my personal project, but i'm not in the right headspace to do so. last thing i need is to go End of Evangelion on it.DISCOGRAPHY: dmdokuro.bandcamp.com

In a sea of sentient crystalline form, one crack in the symmetry is all it takes for everything else to start falling apart around it. Within it is a burst of energy, either extremely violent or rapidly fading out in wisps and putrid smoke.was just having a "make your own samples and somehow make them extremely intimidating" moment. and then this thing was made.DISCOGRAPHY: dmdokuro.bandcamp.com

DM DOKURO - the embers DM DOKURO 2022-12-24 | lmao this whole video project started at the beginning of the month. i don't think i'll be doing this again, for music's sake. too long, and too amateur imho.so. phoenixes, am i right? always resurrecting whenever they get destroyed. that's how we should be in life, yet what happens when it has to resurrect itself more than it spreads its wings? what if that flame it champions is too far gone to reignite? and how long does it have until it gets taken down again?an interlude piece that goes straight into bacteriophage once it's done.
DM DOKURO - STILL HERE (harsh sun version) DM DOKURO 2022-12-16 | character art: Dan Saiyan - TWITTER: twitter.com/danradsai - TUMBLR: tumblr.com/eirianhi, i remastered a song and added a Synthesizer V voice to it, causing it to sound even more emotive than i had originally planned.ow, my heart.happy holidays, i guess.... all of that aside, adding SOLARIA to this song was a delicate, yet ultimately satisfying outcome.sorry, OLIVER. there's always the cruel moon.//-------------------------ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION-------------------------//In times where I felt like I was the one to blame for the many misfortunes I faced, the looming sense of guilt and shame consumed my mind, and it grew worse every time. In this moment, my skills had evolved to a height that overshadowed and surpassed the first two albums of Shadow of Light. The experience I gained allowed me to reveal the toxic mindset I had lost myself in.What resulted was a prelude to greater underlying problems within me that I have yet to fix.This album will be a horrifying and meticulous dissection into my reoccurring thoughts and actions.
DM DOKURO - words fail to describe DM DOKURO 2022-12-14 | a track from "They Know Who They Are" - while close to the end of the album, there are still more tracks left to complete. this particular track was a sudden experiment on something softer, but so disjointed that it portrays a sense of unease, surrounded by repetition. everything feels like it should've blown over like you'd expect, but you can't shake the feeling of helplessness and unwarranted guilt afterwards.
[LOOP] Glass Structure (Reflective) DM DOKURO 2022-12-04 | the Glass Structure series is a collection of short compositions that didn't quite make it as fully-made tracks, resurrected into what will later be used as new background music. Plays during some tense talk. Or just really anything tense. That sorta "calm down or else" tense.also i'll be stuck doing smoke simulations in Blender for another video, so i'll be working on some Glass Structures in the meantime.DISCOGRAPHY: dmdokuro.bandcamp.com
DM DOKURO - to live lies DM DOKURO 2022-11-30 | a spiral connecting all spirals together into a truth that is only ever found through bitterness - the truth that a life could be built on so many lies that it becomes the lie itself. a cycle that must be broken. eyes that must see into that same truth told through countless lives.also who else just recently found out about autistic masking and the burnouts it causes, because i am pretty sure i've spent a good several days weighed down by its gravity without even knowing what it was or why it was happening.this track was normally going to be scrapped (and something entirely different, too), but i instead conjured what was there to begin with, gave it a certain subtle premonition, and worked some of that Shadow of Light magic on it... not SoL3, but like... the FIRST one.

DM DOKURO - the momentary highs, the unfathomable lows (reprise - instrumental) DM DOKURO 2022-11-27 | "there's an audience for both vocal and instrumental versions of tracks" - DM DOKURO, 2022 - approximately 1 week prior to eating his words
DM DOKURO - the momentary highs, the unfathomable lows (reprise) DM DOKURO 2022-11-25 | go ahead and take another track.Eleanor Forte AI FINALLY got her Vocal Modes update, so i made sure to also update this track before i posted it here. Eleanor opens the album "They Know Who They Are" with a revised version of "The Momentary Highs, The Unfathomable Lows" that has a different, but significant ending- the theme of this album, if you haven't figured it out by now, is abuse- the enforced, enforcing, and enforcers. Many have cheated other people out of an honest life, and get away with it without any consequence. In my case, i had not realized that a lot of the things i blame myself for on a daily basis root from people who have enforced this logic of being ashamed of my true self for the decades i've been here, so trying to understand exactly WHAT i am now is a mystery that has only begun. i know that i'm not accepted by the community i was born and raised in. i know that many people will not be able to understand me, even if i transcribed my feelings into my work. i know that autism is a thing that is exponentially growing and being accepted. But the truth remains- there are many out there who share in this overwhelmingly disgusting feeling of having been used, having, or advocating for, autism while growing up- and it's about time EVERYONE talks about it.we can't let this happen again.
DM DOKURO - keep walking (instrumental) DM DOKURO 2022-11-20 | DEUS EX MACHINA 2 in a nutshellplease don't even find out what that game is, it's... it's. it's it's, and that's all i can say about it.
DM DOKURO - keep walking DM DOKURO 2022-11-10 | ... screw this. no more hiding. here's another original track with a great Synthesizer V database- Natalie.so after our good friend the bacteriophage "does their job", there's always the remnants left after the horror. picking up pieces, watching them fall apart again, picking up, falling apart... just how complicated is moving on? it's extremely hard to do, so i've been told. always feels like it's hopeless, but never feels like it has no purpose. something that always eluded me about the human mind is how it is able to forgive itself for mistakes made in the past- caused or not. it isn't sheer ignorance, but it isn't compassion and understanding either. we can only keep so much hurt to ourselves before it starts blanketing all other aspects of our lives. there are some that i know who repress these things out of harsh necessity. yet, knowing the things i know now about my life, moving on and trying to keep up to speed with everyone else will be almost impossibly complicated. that said, i'm sorry if i'm taking too much time to do it.next is the subject of SynthV's Natalie. from what i understand, she had a bit of a bad start because of her demo tracks, but uh... we shouldn't let those demo tracks define her, tbh. the voice she was able to provide for this track was... absolutely perfect, to say the least. i would have gone with SOLARIA, but there's something about Natalie's range and tone that perfectly resonates with the lyrics and composition.tune in for the next episode where i have actually hit a brick wall in terms of what to do next. aeiouaoeieoiuaoiuueo.

DM DOKURO - bacteriophage DM DOKURO 2022-10-05 | ... whatever. my birthday, my channel, my rules. you already know how we do things around here.this track comes from an album that i am currently working on - i had thought about not really saying much of anything about it, as it was a sudden idea for an album at that time, and i go through those like paper (commitment issues), but after finishing a few tracks for it, i decided to make this a thing. then i realized that i practically ghosted all of you as a result of the work i'm putting into this thing. all of this said, i might as well give you at least one glimpse into the mayhem i've been focused on. i will warn you: i'll be experimenting with all types of sounds for this album, so you can expect a lot of harsh noise and sensory overload as a result.this track is about science, i think. that, or the vicious cycle of abuse seen from the eyes of a simple organism attacking its host. i've seen many stories like this one, where it just... continues. doesn't stop, or get remedied... it continues, and sometimes, it shows from both sides. either can try to move on from it, but it will live within them forever. even an argument you may think was insignificant can hold that much of a difference. without resolution or closure, it continues again and again.manually making growls/screams for a synth voice with none of those features is extremely hard work, but it was necessary for this track, and for another that'll be worked on after a little break i'm taking, since i had worked on this track for nearly 10 days in a row. . . . have i mentioned how much fun i'm having with synthesizer v?
