The success of this album and my career as a composer hinges upon my music's visibility. It may not seem like much, but word of mouth is the most powerful and effective driver of visibility in music and art. The first video from my recent live session, for example, is still sitting at ~100 views:

Of course, if it's not compelling enough to share, I get it... Not everything jives with people that way. But finding that success would allow me to give back to our community and mean that I'd be able to do much more with my art and music, as well as afford me more time to rest when I'm producing. Even if there's only one person you know who might enjoy my music, your assistance is much appreciated. Every single one of you matters to me ^^

They gave me the green light. On August 26th, I will be streaming the entire 2-hour recording session on Twitch, with Soundsgate Orchestra in Prague (via Musiversal). We are recording 3 tracks from my upcoming album Starlight Telepath, including "Into The Expanse," "The Promise," and "Empress of Karugis." I won't be there in person but will be advising and observing remotely. It will take place on Monday, August 26th, at 9-11 AM EST. I will be going live 2 hours before so people on Twitch can trickle in.

During the session I will not be able to respond to chat via voice, but myself and Indigo Jackal will be moderating it. I will be assembling each track as soon as I receive the files. I hope to see you there!

Listen to/Pre-order Starlight Telepath here: https://baumarius.bandcamp.com/album/starlight-telepath

Starlight Telepath is my fifteenth album and my thirteenth as Baumarius, featuring the sounds of the Czech National Symphony Orchestra, Italian violinist Lucia La Rezza, Argentinian opera singer Mailén Arriola, and more. The music speaks of the adventures my friends and I will go on, the nature of conscious existence, and reflections on my life as a therian, synesthete, and cult survivor.

The release of this album, almost exactly nine years after the cult's supposed end-of-the-world date, symbolizes my success, the power of self-expression, and the value of genuine relationships and community. I hope it inspires you to find your own meaning and freedom in life as I did mine.

Proceeds from the album will support my upcoming video game "Tenera" and my pursuit of a PhD in neuroscience. I’m committed to using my education to research brain-computer interface devices that may offer more freedom to disabled individuals and revolutionize our understanding of consciousness. I believe these technologies could enhance our experience of music and bridge the explanatory gap that keeps the true nature of our personal experiences a secret. That secret is an enigma that music can only offer a small window into - it is my hope that one day it doesn't have to be.

Unfortunately, my upcoming album Starlight Telepath will have to be delayed by 4-5 months. After calculating my finances, if nothing unexpected happens I will be $2650 short of the production costs alone (to pay the orchestra and all the musicians) by the original release date I had planned.

The full release will have to wait until mid-September. This will give me a bit more time to perfect the music. In the meantime, you can hear the full album it in it's current state by supporting me on Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/baumarius

I've released 3 singles from the album already - Empress of Karugis, Therian, and Superhighways. Empress of Karugis will be redone with the orchestra. You can find those here: https://linktr.ee/baumarius

My new album, Starlight Telepath, is starting to come together! It had 7 tracks a month ago - now it has 14. I'm mostly just waiting on recordings and the album cover now. Late this year or early next year (when I can comfortably spend $3000+) I will be recording a few of these tracks with the Czech National Symphony Orchestra. I can't wait to show y'all. Aiming to release it on my birthday next year (4/20).

Here's a WIP of the cover, by Ornamentarium on Twitter.

And here's a sneak peek of the first track:

If anyone is interested in playing for a track or two, I'm still in need of solo cello, violin, viola, electric guitar, clarinet, erhu, Appalachian dulcimer, harp, and acoustic guitar recordings. I will pay you. Send me demos of your work.

If you want to listen to the whole thing early in its current state, you can get access to that by supporting me on Ko-fi! https://ko-fi.com/baumarius

My new album "Fires of Luuthea" is out now! This one was a long time in the making, and it's definitely a bit more experimental than previous albums. I hope y'all enjoy it nonetheless! It features hybrid orchestral electronic music, some of which you might expect to hear in a video game.

The first track is a collab between myself and @SpinScissor.
