Tuesday's revelation

I have continued jamming with good (= really dark, brooding, gloomy) vibes. There was this funny little event which I'm gonna write a bit. Last weekend as I was watching winter olympic games, the last events - at the same time I was playing with acoustic bass and I came up with riff / melody which instantly felt good to me. I kept playing with it, then told wife about it that check this out, does this remind you of something, some band? She listened, nope, or I can't say right away it would. I was like ... this feels familiar to me myself, but I can't pinpoint it to anything really ... but I like this, this would work as well as fast tune as extremely slow crushing tune. So I kept playing it and thought that I have to save this (so I saved it ... into my head only). Until tuesday, today, came. 

Suddenly I remembered something, let's check email ... didn't I record riff or two sometimes in 2025 when we were visiting wife's parents? Yeah I did, while we were there, I came up with interesting riff with wife's dad's about 70 years old guitar in poor condition (it has only 3 low strings and barely stays in tune, it's really beaten up but I always play with it when we are there). I saved the pair of riffs, melodic line and heavy riff with my phone and sent it to my email for later use.

So now I went to check out the mail. Yeah, there it is ... it's from early May 2025. Let's listen to it. Yeah here goes the first melodic riff ... not familiar. Ok, now comes the heavy hitter ... BOOM! It's the riff I "came up" last weekend! Hilarious but also kind of exciting. I had completely forgotten the riff, then suddenly it comes back to me and it's the same one I saved for later use 9 months ago. I can say for sure that it will certainly make one tune, too.

Doom to you, too

PS: I also updated the M4D logo in top section of this blog, into more lively one (the eye in it) with some scifi/tech elements added.

Here again, after a long break

I have been through some rough times recently. Some very personal ones, sadness, but also something that have started to channel into music ideas ... and especially fitting for Mood:Doom. I will probably tell about these things leading to the inspiration later, perhaps only after the next M4D release is out there. But I can say already, that 

1. I've started composing tunes for full length M4D album
2. The material will be heavy, that's safe to say already
3. It might be theme album naturally, not planned really

I've had melodies ready for one tune for several months already, but only today I started crafting drums for this tune for real. I think this tune will be key tune in the album, so to speak. Even jammed it a bit and it works exactly as I visioned it to work. 

I haven't really planned that I'd be doing M4D album in 2026 especially, but certain recent life events have led me into this point where I have started crafting M4D album and I'm quite certain it will be released in 2026. What makes it twisted is that three previous full lenghts have happened back in 2021, 2016 and 2011 - seems that it's always year ..1 or year ..6 as M4D album happens? So far, anyway. Who knows how long I want to do this project - but I don't plan anything ahead. It seems that new stuff is now flowing from me very naturally which is always the sign for me and it feels like perfect outlet for certain life events ... so be it, then.

I'll write more as things progress.

The vibes are doomy to begin with
