#HackMusic | How To Stay Consistent

Atlas CastleNew Single
Written By Atlas Castle

My friend Iti recently reached out asking if I would be interested in making a tutorial video for In Place Of War as part of #HackMusic education programme.

YouTube being already filled up with tons of great and useful tutorials, I felt like sharing a personal daily exercice that I do to stay consistent in my songwriting process, even when I'm not inspired.

Don't get used to me doing those kind of tutorials too often. I'm the quiet dude normally hiding behind my synths while jamming away haha. - Please feel welcome to contact Iti for more information on how to get involved: iti@inplaceofwar.net.

Thankful for your time over here, as always.

Atlas Castle

Atlas Castle ~ is the solo project of a french native musician, composer and electronic music producer. Today based in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Long sleepless nights and a certain vision of aesthetics brought this project to life with the idea to create a musical base throughout which Atlas Castle could play whatever he would feel like, without any boundaries. Mixing energy, melodies and samples to forge his own recognisable style. Through his music, Atlas is sharing different feelings with only one philosophy: making music that is all together artistically, technically, and emotionally engaged in hopes of establishing connections with all interested people.
