Transforming inner demons with ancient music, electronics, and psychological insight. (Washington, DC) https://novit-terminus.com/
Spotify’s recommendation algorithm fails niche artists because of its grossly inaccurate genres. For example, folk artist O Gajo is mislabeled as "Portuguese rock," making them invisible to folk fans. This discovery gap hurts independent artists.

Quiz of the day: What stock Logic Pro effects are being used in the intro to this track that rely on phase cancellation?

(Hint: The stock "Phaser" effect isn't one of them. And they both tend to be underrated/undervalued.)

As a musical artist, it's always interesting looking at my year-end Spotify stats:
6.5k streams
2.7k listeners
87 countries
201 playlists
74 shares

Nothing to write home about, but I have a lot of appreciation for the people who bothered to go out of their way to listen to my music. Thank you!

If you're in the DMV, I have an interview on WOWD (94.3) on 14 Dec, 11am EST:

"Don't miss a powerful conversation with local artist Novit Terminus on WOWD radio’s Forbidden Alliance. Hear how this Takoma Park resident's electro-Euroatavism project serves as a means to process personal trauma." 👇

What do you get when you combine ancient European musical traditions with a driving, dark, electronic sound?

You get "Laurinda" by Karetus, Vitorino & Iolanda -- an amazing take on Portuguese folk.

My "Colors" EP is out.

Reviewers call the EP a well-produced collection of tracks featuring original, experimental sound design and rhythm, with clear mixes, soaring vocals, and compelling basslines. They praised the "genuine" songwriting and "confident" artistic direction.

Didon's, @carmenrizzo.bsky.social's, and Meriem Ben Amor's excellent release, "Ezzina", is exactly what I'm looking for in my Electro-Euroatavism playlist: dark, driving, electronics combined with ancient musical traditions. You can hear it on my playlist now.

When I’m not making electro-Euroatavistic music, I’m a heterodox, people- and human-centered historic preservationist. This is my alter ego. They feed off from each other, and, at their core is “magic.”

Humanity is defined by its incredible, diverse hues, and that's what inspired my new "Colors" EP.

The "Colors" EP will hit all of the streaming services on November 15, but it's live now on Soundcloud and Bandcamp:

Why are musical tuning systems similar across cultures and why are they different?

This video is one of the best explanations I’ve come across that explains tuning systems across cultures.

An AI-generated song from a long-dead artist suddenly appears on Spotify, published without seeking permission from rights holders?

No, it can’t be true, um, right?

Zoom out from your life, not on the scale of your lifetime, but on the scale of millennia. Time and lifetimes, agency and the meaning of victories. Incl. traditional Iberian instruments, like the adufe.

What Kraftwerk would have sounded like if they were French?

Position Parallèle is a project by Geoffroy Delacroix (a.k.a. Dernière Volonté) that brings a retro electronic sound into the future. "Toiles", in particular, is a banger of a track.

Joanna Dark combines the folk music traditions of Catalonia with a dark, driving electronic sound. Listening to her music shows how the magic of folklore really comes alive when combined with contemporary soundscapes.
