That is a mighty compliment that this reminds you of Jónsi, thank you for that! He has been an inspiration of mine for a long time, amongst a long list of other very talented artists.
I had no idea about his Obsidian project, I will certainly be taking a look at that, thanks for the recommendation!

Thank you so much for that! I've actually been debating starting a self hosted blog (or maybe a Substack...) to capture and document my process and provide more context around the music I'm producing, maybe I'll spend some time working on that this weekend!
Edit: for anyone who may be interested, I've created a Substack for this: https://substack.com/@vectordust
I'll likely setup a self hosted blog on vectordust.com to mirror any Substack posts I make as well, so I truly own those posts.

How does one find these people? Asking for a friend! :D
I've also gone down the synthesizer rabbit hole: prophet-6, full modular setup (rip bank account), subsequent 37. It's great fun!

Despite AI starting to crowd this space, I've been spending all of my free time learning music production (doing it the old fashion way without AI). It's a great mix of technical and creative problem solving. Mostly focusing on dark ambient/cinematic composition, playing around hardware synths (Prophet 6, Subsequent 37, modular / eurorack, Digitone II).
If anyone is curious, I put out a single recently (remaster from last year): https://soundcloud.com/vectordust/ion-dunes-1
My main personal goal right now is to release a full length album this year.

> there were still plenty of albums being produced and I think it's the same today.
agreed with this, I would almost go so far as to say there are more full length albums being created than ever before.
software engineer turned electronic/ambient music producer & composer. doing it the old fashioned way.
