MrGrumpyMonkeyI might be in the minority here, but I'm not a huge fan of the Psytrance artist #Astrix

Are they a psychedelic visual artist? Or Psytrance as in the music genre?
@mrgrumpymonkey I'm not familiar with them.

@KmacNessa The musical artist. It's not that it's bad, it's just that it sounds generic to me. I dunno. Perhaps it would be a good introduction to someone who's never heard the Psytrance genre before. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@mrgrumpymonkey I suppose I'll paruse out of curiosity. 
Is it on the fast beat club side?
Right now, I'm on a Twin Gazelle kick while I draw
I'm not sure what genre she is, beyond some form of techno.
My fluffy son has no respect for the process..
@KmacNessa I'd put it on the faster side of the rhythm. 150+ BPM probably. It's not difficult to listen to. Probably more entertaining under different circumstances. But sitting at my desk listening to it is just boring I suppose. Far better options out there to keep my brain neurons happy dancing, that's for sure.
As for the drawing, it sure does look 'techno-ish' for sure. Along with a form of incect I suppose. Does it wear RGB lighting? 
@mrgrumpymonkey Oh! In retrospect, my prior text was a tad muddy.
Gazelle Twin is one of the musicians I've had on repeat as of late. It would probably help if I didn't flip her name. 
The droid is just some Moebius-esc nonsense for the hell of it.
I was trying to minimize humanoid vibes in silhouette, so I’ll take insectoid.
I haven't done a coloured version yet, so sure. Let's say it's got RGB rave lights. 😂
@KmacNessa You can only explain so much within 500 characters of text.
I have never heard of Gazell Twin. Guess I have something new for my ears to engage with. From what I've heard, which is just the first couple of songs from the 'UnFlesh' album are giving me some heavy Aphex Twin vibes. And the visuals are creepy. I'll keep listening and report back.
If this is what you listen to, I think I understand you're artistic visual style a bit better. Both the music and your art are unique.
@KmacNessa Do you happen to be a fan of 'Aphex Twin' by chance? This was the first thing that came to mind after listening to the 'Unflesh' album.
I'll say that I've not heard of this artist before, but I'm now glad I have. This was better than I expected and am now following their bandcamp page. I'll keep listening to more of this music and share it with my small 'discord' community and on here.
@mrgrumpymonkey I am indeed a fan. That’s actually how I came across Gazelle Twin. Gazelle Twin's song Black Dog feat. Gary Numan was on one of the YouTube genre playlists while I was listening to Aphex Twin, and I've been hooked ever since. 
I’m glad you're enjoying the music too. ☺️
@KmacNessa Hell yeah!!! Nice to meet a fellow weirdo like me. 
@mrgrumpymonkey Cheers! ☺️ 🍻
@mrgrumpymonkey Thank you very much! I’m more than happy to be in the same category as Gazelle twin. 
In terms of a dream soundtrack, that is the vibe I would gravitate to - I’m glad that comes through in the visuals. ☺️
@KmacNessa I'm reporting back. I listened to more of Gazelle Twin over on Bandcamp. I think I like this stuff. I probably won't listen to it often, but under the right circumstances and mood, I'd probably listen again.
@mrgrumpymonkey That’s understandable. It's pretty out there for background work music, for instance.
What are your thoughts on John Carpenter style synth?

@KmacNessa Would you be willing to provide me a reference? I know 'who' John Carpenter is, but I'm unfamiliar with the soundscape. I should really watch 'The Thing' now that you brought that name up.
@mrgrumpymonkey Certainly! I'll grab you a link while I'm on break.
I haven't seen the movie, The Thing, in over 15 years. So I don't remember how well it holds up.
I do remember liking the practical effects, but that's about all I can solidly recall.
Mayhaps we should both watch it and then compare notes. 🍿
@KmacNessa That might give me an actual reason to view a film. All be it, that probably won't happen until I get back from my road trip. I did recently acquire a copy though, so I'll add it to the list of films I plan on watching in the future.
@mrgrumpymonkey A movie night could be a nice way to unwind after your trip.
In the meantime - Safe travels!

There's some variation in the John Carpenter-esque music style, but I’d say this is a good summation.

@KmacNessa I'll give this a listen now and check back in later with my thoughts. All be it, this is giving me Retro Synth vibes, so I'll probably enjoy it.
@mrgrumpymonkey No rush, the music will be here when you get back.😉
I'd describe John Carpenter's music style as rooted in the late 1970s to 1980s era of retro synth horror. 💀 🎶
