Hello again!

It's been a long time since I've posted on here however have been delving deeply into music again and plan for a a Disco / Garage influenced Video Game project release by June!

Over the last few months I've been working hard to combine my love of synthesis and sampling to create something interesting, fun and head bobbing for your ears. I'm looking forward to publishing sample packs, doing more commissions and working on a new soundtrack releasing around September.

Trying for a part-time music but this time I'm going to fully commit, I think I was literally too desperate for money last time but I'm sitting comfortably at the moment and will try to genuinely create quality content, starting with lots of music, and use my Kofi to provide Tutorials, sample packs and frequent updates.

I hope to bring some slammin' tunes to you all and collab with a ton of NG artists.

Please check out a track I did with @F1regek here on streaming.

Another big year ahead so I'm excited for the future.

Take care and stay safe,

Hi there, I hope you're having a lovely day.

Today was a bit of a let down, as I just finished my 4th month in my job, and the management let go of a few staff (including me). It was budgetary so no hard feelings, but being called in after performing all my tasks and just fired burned a lot. The company was very kind to offer us alternatives and new employment by application through them. On the other hand I realized that this may be a blessing in disguise.

I recently published my first EP, and I'm currently working with a university for a public performance in a similar route that my last 2 OSTs went. The EP won't make money aside from Bandcamp, however the OST will pay 1/3 of my rent. I've been trying to make music a part time job for a while now, and I believe this is my chance.

Instead of wallowing, I want to take an IRL part time job and use this opportunity to make the rest of my money through Commissions, Selling sample / music packs, Soundtrack work and potentially Live gigs. I understand a lot of people have probably gone or are going this route currently, so whining about the difficulty is the least of my concerns.

The plan is to open commissions on my Kofi, which will also contain sample packs, first of which will be a minimal electronics one. Additionally I need to create 2 soundtracks; 1 for the performance, and 1 to sell online to game dev libraries. I'm also probably going to need to get that IRL part-time job to negate some issues in case I can't make the rent next month.

To be honest I am privileged in this position, it's not really a do or die, I live with my beautiful gf who can support me and if it comes down to it I can get another office job; but I think this is a chance to make my dream come true. It's still going to be a lot of work, and I'm sure to have hiccups along the way, but this could be the start of a professional life in music; even if it results in a hard time for the next year.

I hope y'all can wish me luck in this challenge for the future, and if you need electronic music, give me a shout.

Take care, and stay safe.

Good afternoon!

I'm proud to announce that both Soundtracks for the Plays "5T1NG" and "giulietta" debut on the 8th of July, 20:00 CET.

Each OST contains 3 song and 5T1NG has vocalized versions which will only be available on Bandcamp

Each Soundtrack is available on YouTube, Newgrounds and Soundcloud, any money donated on Bandcamp will be going to a women's shelter here in Malta.

This is due to the subject matter of both plays containing these topics and handling them maturely in my humble opinion.

If you don't wish to donate or don't want to hear the versions with vocals then no need to go onto Bandcamp, however the option is of course, there.

I'm very excited to hear the reactions and read your reviews / comments so please do not hesitate to judge my work.

If you want to hear me talk a bit more in-depth, kindly see my Twitch where I explained as best I could x

Please take care <3

Hello All and Welcome 🤠

This is going to be a long post, detailing a 3 Month plan for projects I have and am doing, through June, July and August

I'll be separating theses tasks by the month, and the point 📌 if you will, is to let the lovely people who listen to my music know what to expect, when to expect it, and help me materialize my thoughts

JUNE📅

This month is particularly busy, my initial plan was to post my EP, but this month is going to be hectic

I have completed the OST for the Play 5T1NG, which focuses on abuse and trauma. The Actresses need to re-record the Voiceover, so I still need to edit that 🙃

ALL of the Bandcamp funds raised by the Play 5T1NG 🤑will be donated to a Women's shelter, as this is the primary focus of the play, so check for that when it's out

I was also tasked with sound design for a Play that is taking place in the same Arts Festival, however I have yet to receive feedback 🤪

The issue I've come to is that since the plays Debut in JULY, I simply have nothing to showcase this month, So here's the plan:

1. Record and edit play vocals
2. Complete layout / structure of play
3. Prepare Youtube, newgrounds and soundcloud for release
4. Get the Play on Bandcamp / Streaming
5. Release 1 well made song and stream on Twitch

JULY📅

Unfortunately July is no picnic either.

I rather selfishly want to release My EP more than I want to for the play's OST.

To be objective though, I have been wanting to create soundtracks for years and this is the best way to kick it off. I relate heavily to the themes of gendered abuse in my life and family and the proceeds can really do some good, so I want to nail this release 👼

By this point I expect to have prepared everything I need to simply publish the Play, but the advertising to get donations is the hard part.

I believe the live performance will draw eyes but I want any fans I have to help out in this cause, even just a buck is great. I'd want to do a charity stream and donate those funds as well, but that will come in time.

The 3 month plan includes releasing my EP in August, so let's see what the heck I'm gonna do:

1. Release and stream the OST on July 8th
2. Advertise the OST and donate proceeds
3. Do a charity stream???
4. Complete the EP (oof)
5. Master and schedule EP
6. Solidify the EP artwork

AUGUST📅

August is my birth month, but more importantly, it is the month in which I shall be releasing the EP!!! (I hope)

It'll be great to calm down on production and focus on promotion however I'll have to see how hard it gets as someone with no marketing skillz 🍇

The EP is mainly drum and bass inspired with a tight thread linking the tracks together and I'm very excited for people's opinions.

I wouldn't want to give too much away but hopefully I can pull this all together 😃

The release date is planned for 26th August and Da plan be like dis:

1. Hype the EP
2. Get visualizer for 1 track
3. Market it with skits, promos etc
4. Get a stylish look
5. Put myself OUT THERE

If you've read this ENTIRE THING, then thanks for indulging me. I hope you have a lovely year.

Take care 🥰

🤭 Welcome Gentlefolk to my long and involved Update Post 🤭

I want to go over some things I'm grateful for, working on and life changes that have been giving me cause to change my idea of how I want to produce music moving forward

To kick things off I wanna mention that I have been enjoying tattoo artistry and got one recently and would be getting far more in the future when I can. The style of some great Newgrounds art has been pushing me in that direction, so if you make good art, PM me with your pieces that are skin worthy 🤑

I am also starting a new job on Monday so my schedule for time I can work on Music will be more predictable. I recently streamed on Twitch while remixing Painvol's song, "ON A COD STUPIDITY NIGHT" 😶 which should emerge at some point this month. I essentially want to overhaul my Twitch to look far better and pleasing as I did for MadajGaming's Twitch with my Pixel Art

Also shout out to both Yasiin Clemens and Mister James for working with me on the tracks, "BANGER.M4A" and "Drop Tabs in Black Cabs" which have been incredibly lovely to work on they were great sports with the musical process 🥰

To move onto external projects, I have been wanting to provide more content on YouTube as it was my first upload place for Hairmilk and I want visuals for some of my tracks. I'm definitely hoping for a more aloof yet striking style which would be helped by an art director friend, with whom I am currently scoring and editing the vocals for their Play, which leads me to my next project

The Play I am working on has been a fun time for sure, but also harrowing to know I will see people's live reaction to the music and vocals I have created and will be editing. I combined a mixture of Musique Concrete and Microsound, with a touch of Techno and RnB elements to create a genuinely spacious, vulnerable and harrowing soundscape. The vocals provided by the Play's actresses are touching and emotional, however elude me when trying to incorporate these elements into the soundtrack I've made. I am still working my hardest on these elements, however I am incredibly close to the material in the Play, which may be clouding my vision 😕

The Play focuses on 3 women over 3 acts and 3 tracks that portray the abuse various women can go through with men. I can imagine some people have read that and may already dislike the concept, but I want to be clear. I have been raised by my mother and sister who both have experienced a form of the abuse showcased in the Play. This means a lot to me and is almost prophetic that I can bring attention to this issue, despite myself being a biological male

I have been grappling with the concept of gender and feel that I myself do not identify as such, but I still need to adjust my head space before I deal with this, as I'm not sure I understand what I feel 👾

With any luck I would like to put the soundtrack on Bandcamp and donate any money made from the purchasing of the Soundtrack to shelters for women who are abused and have suffered from a negative experience and have need to leave their homes. I would like to put the soundtrack on streaming as well, however am unsure how to donate the proceeds to charities given the tax forms needed to receive the funds from streaming

Speaking of money, as I am starting a new job I am sure the proceeds of the Play, would be better given to those who need it, and moving into the future, I do want to try and gain an income so I may put more time into music, but have encountered a problem. I want to make art without the need to chase money to do so. It feels odd to want money in pursuit of art, and in this way, I have begun to hate the very thing I need to live 💰

I have been working on an Album / EP which at this point contains nothing but 2 songs and I have changed what it is, over and over again. Now it is nothing, and the idea was a 5 track DnB EP. It was then to be a 13 track LP focused on a soundtrack for a made up game in my mind. I have since opted to try a completed self-synthesized song style that is unique, harsh, beautiful, and trans-formative, however as with most projects, I think I simply need to dive in before I try to thing about what it is 💫

In the end I am overthinking as usual, but the things I am grateful for are the opportunities to work with talented artists in their respective fields, the ability to enjoy my life with my partner and freedom and especially the chance to bring awareness to abuse in hopes the damages can be mitigated and everyone can have a chance to be as grateful as I am

Take care all, and stay safe in these trying times xox

Howdy friends,

I have officially changed my name, don't worry it's not a big deal.

My previous name, (Moustache Express) is spelled differently in different countries and a mouthful / hard to spell.

This will fuck up my SEO but I think this name is easier to spell and has a nice ring to it.

Hairmilk is a type of hair treatment that my lady uses and makes me happy to say honestly.

I am so excited to produce more music and have an LP planned for the future.

New tunes coming soon x

Hey there.

If you're reading this I thank you for the follows. I've been creating a lot of oddball stuff thanks to jamuary and the feedback has been amazing.

I enjoyed the collaborations and if anyone wants to work with me I'm down 😌

I only found out yesterday that jamuary was meant to be once per day???

I cannot pump out good stuff that often but I'm gonna give it a shot from here on out haha.

Thank you for indulging me and thanks to the maniac that keeps frontpaging my stuff, it's highly appreciated.

Take care and stay safe y'all 💞

Hey there!

I've been super glad with the love for Liquid Jungle, generally I haven't received this much love on Newgrounds.

I prefer this community and the talent here so much more and I'm glad people have been getting down with my stuff.

I would love nothing more than to make music for Video Games but to get there I've got a lot of time to go.

I hope y'all will stick around while I get this stuff Underway.

Kind Regards,

Moustache Express.

I'm going to post some songs just here and SoundCloud from now on, YouTube too if I can be bothered cause the communities here are great ☺️

Noone here gives a shit but a new series will be starting this Sunda at 8am GMT. I hope it works well, gonna be great.
