Music slithers out

I haven't released any new music in a while. It's not that I haven't been writing it's that nothing has quite made it over the line. I've been making music more for myself and my own peace of mind or, occasionally as a minor act of devotion. What drew me back was needing music to listen to while studying. That got me back into Dungeon Synth. Dungeon Synth evolved out of black metal, a form of dark ambient music made with a deliberately lo-fi aesthetic. It's classical music as imagined by people obsessed with Tolkein who don't really listen to classical music made using the most primitive of keyboard sounds. I found a nice emulated 80s Casio keyboard with an appropriately tinny sound, banged some reverb on it and tried to bash out four tracks. I worked quickly, trying to maintain a DIY punk approach to the music, a weird thing to do with slow moving ambient sounds but completely necessary for the right ambience. I did no mastering and very little finessing of the sound. The result is linked below. It's free to download and a reminder that I can still do melody if I want to, I just usually choose not to.
