welcome to my site! :)
check out the new blog section in the navigation tab!!1!
quinten laurènce sol (they/them) is a creative peculiarity currently habited in rotterdam, the netherlands...
they write, sing, produce, mix, code and design, and also likes to discover new music, read, or simply just drift away from the world from time to time.
their current occupation is a solo musical project called INDIGO CHAMBER, which could be described as dreamy, floaty pop music with sultry falsettos and languid guitarlines, originating from some place far away from our known universe.
currently a student of Music and Technology at HKU University of the Arts, they recently conquered their place in cyberspace because apparently, coding your own site is all the rage nowadays!
they are also in a band called HORIZONS where they make silky smooth sailin' yachtrock and easy-listening cocktail party AOR to escape from all your earthly troubles.
currently, they're very busy behind the scenes working on a big, big not so secret project...
(also, i'm just writing these things in third person. it just sounds so much better ;[ )
blogpost #1 - 28th december 2024
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
because all of the cool kids were doing it and because i picked up coding as a hobby for the first time since i studied CS,
i decided to give the whole blog thing a try, why the f not. seems like a fun novel way to share my creative process and keep people up to date.
so if you are either one of the aforementioned cool kids or you have the (dis)pleasure of knowing me, you might have heard that i am
working on the debut ep for my alias indigo chamber. it's been in the works for quite some time now... some of the songs have been written years ago, when i was
just a lil kid messin around with audacity and stock plugins in ableton, hoping something good would come out of my speakers.
i am really hoping everything will turn out right and i get to release the ep soon. here's a lil secret: it's already finished, but i just need to make some nice visuals.
right now is the perfect time cuz of the christmas holidays.
unfortunately because of some weird IT problems at bumastemra, i'm not able to upload the ep in time for the release date
i had in mind. so yeah, it's gonna take a whole lot of time and patience to get this thing out.
but hey, at least it's finished! and i'm really grateful that i got through the process of actually finishing something i make! which is a total nightmare when
you're dealing with chronic ADHD and burnout because of school stuff and blah blah blah. luckily i got a bunch of sweet souls around me to help me such as the friends i made at hku,
my sister and some other lovely people as well. sooner or later this thing is gonna be released.
for now i hope i'm going to be able to finish the visuals for the ep before the end of break, cause i know i'm gonna be busy with a lot of stuff!
ok now well let's see if i can manage to get off my ass and actually do something today! (kinda slacked off today lol)
see ya next time!!
