What music is the soundtrack to a cyberpunk world for you?
What music is the soundtrack to a cyberpunk world for you?
For me, I'm not sure.
I love synthwave like GUNSHIP and PYLOT and Essenger as much as the next cyberpunk, but besides a few particular GUNSHIP and Essenger songs, they don't feel quite right.
Neither does straight up punk rock or metal, which is the other stuff I listen to.
The cyberpunk music I want needs to be a blend of the two I think — the atmospheric sounds and use of synths and technological effects from synthwave, and the overt rage and message and aggressive, imperfect rock sound of punk rock and metal.
Edit: I'm liking industrial so far!

I hope this is not shameless, because I am a musician myself. But I try to implement the cyberpunk vibe in my music. For me cyberpunk as music is always a mixture of dirty sounds, darkness, and the thought of losing everything. That's what I've tried to do with a few EPs and tracks.
Here is a small selection that cyberpunks found to be good:
- https://revenge.day/discography/sandevistan
- https://revenge.day/discography/bakeneko
- https://revenge.day/discography/skinwatch
- https://revenge.day/discography/corpo-meltdown
In general, techno, neurofunk, dirty punk-rock is cyberpunk for me.
I just finished listening to Sandevistan, it definitely has the feel of Cyberpunk to me. I mean admittedly based on my other comment I'm not entirely sure what that feel is, but I liked it a lot and it definitely fits for me.
Whooo, it's the feeling of having too much cyberware installed and being on the verge of cyberpsychosis!
Hey - I've been wanting to learn about music production myself. Got as far as installing LMMS and looking for VST plugins. Would love some beginner tips if you have any to share!
Now you have asked a good question that is not so easy to answer, unfortunately I do not have the ultimate beginner tip.
But what I can recommend to you is to play around with loops a bit - with that you can get a good basic idea of a song.
In the beginning I would advise you to do without plugins and learn the DAW. I use Ableton and have almost no plugins installed, because I create almost all instruments directly in Ableton - also saves money ;)
But I invite you to our Discord instance where many creative people are (see DATATERM Sidebar), we all try to help each other and give beginners gladly tips!
Ill check those out when I get off work! I like the name Sandevistan lol, did you submit a track for that 2077 dlc song contest?
I read the terms and conditions of the contest and decided not to participate, unfortunately I would lose all my rights to my music - I didn't want to do that.
Yeah, that part of it definitely eeked me out too. I submitted as practice on the production side of things but if i didnt want to practice anyway I definitely wouldnt want to handover rights like that
In the end, CDPR are also just corpos :/
Thats for sure. Also, checked your music out and I dig it! You got a new subscriber:)
Awww, thank you so much!
I'll definitely check out your music, I was 100% expecting you to reply with it when I made this post :D
I could not resist, sorry! :D
Oh this is BANGIN!
Thanks choom!
