I remixed a largely forgotten trance-pop banger from 1998. Here you go, a special halloween treat youtu.be/-PFcov8UWhc?...
Published the source code for my synth plugin Crypt 2 under the GPL, so Linux music makers can also benefit, and hopefully to inspire more people to build plugins that can be used by all. github.com/vitling/crypt #music #opensource #vst #linux
Past 2 months I've been programming a synth plugin: CRYPT. It's made for the fattest supersaws you've ever heard while not killing your CPU. It's free to download at www.vitling.xyz/crypt . If you make music then get it, if you know someone who does then send it to them <3 #musicproduction #synth
It looks and sounds a bit like this: #musicproduction
Need a synth for #witchhouse, #darkwave, #trance or #ambient music? I just released a complete rewrite of my synth CRYPT with too many new features to count and a brand new UI, and it sounds better than ever. Get yourself a free download for Mac or Windows at crypt.bowchur.ch
Yesssss, In a previous life I was a mathematician and a programmer, so I love all this DSP coding stuff. Code is on Github if you're into that kind of thing github.com/vitling/cryp...
My free open-source synth plugin Crypt just got a small update. It's now a Mac universal build, which means it can run natively on M1/M2/M3 (Silicon) Macs. I used it for a lot of the tracks on my new album Unknown Realms, and you can download it here: www.vitling.xyz/plugins/ #musicproduction
It's release day! My new album Unknown Realms is out now, in all the places you'd normally find music. It's an album in the old-fashioned sense, so I recommend listening to it from start to end in order if you can. Links to listen and buy at www.bowchur.ch #goth #music #witchhouse #darkwave #synth

I am crafted from many different pieces, forged from the remnants of abandoned Ableton projects and once-vibrant subcultures; from a ghost of a 22-year goth stitched to a living 37-year-old queer; from a self-taught seamstress and a DIY coder // Photos by Daniel Willis. #goth #queer #patchwork
I made a playlist of the maybe less obvious music that inspires my work. Go take a listen and hopefully you'll discover something new: open.spotify.com/playlist/7iz... #music #dark #moody #ambient #goth #experimental
... and here's the @distrokid.com pre-save for Spotify, if you're that way inclined distrokid.com/hyperfollow/...
Finally got everything together and I have a release day for the new album: 'Unknown Realms' will be available on all platforms on May 7th 2025. Pre-sale on Bandcamp is now live! bowchurch.bandcamp.com/album/unknow...

Brand new track with a brand new video to match, which took me literally weeks to animate on Blender and edit, so y'all better enjoy it! One for the classic witch house people, but also maybe trance and breaks and 90s rave vibes www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAY2... #witchhouse #darkwave #goth #music
The first track 'Union' from my forthcoming album is dropping everywhere this Thursday Apr 10th.

After the popularity of that little cover version I put out a couple of months ago, I decided to get the licenses and make a proper release of it. Out today on all platforms: "Logical" open.spotify.com/track/7ahqA0...
For any Berlin folks out there: I'm performing a live set of brand new material at this event on Saturday alongside a bunch of other talented folk across many genres ra.co/events/2077510 . Come by and get a preview of what I've been working on the past couple of months.
Sure babe, you can believe whatever you like.
Meanwhile I will continue to exist within multiple overlapping microgenres and find them a useful tool for describing sounds and communities while never gatekeeping or pretending to know everything.
Was a big part of the goth scene in at least London and parts of North America around 2010-2013, with this Salem record having a key part in popularising it; and has been huge in eastern Europe ever since. Micro-genre: yes. Non-existent, fabricated: weird thing to say and just no.
Last year, after many years of creating custom mixtapes for my running workouts, I decided to create my own original music with running in mind. It's a seamless loopable 1 hour album, available in 150, 160 and 170bpm. I've been running with it ever since www.vitling.xyz/cadence/
No idea why this vocal came out of my mouth, but somehow it felt right. soundcloud.com/bowchurch/lo... . A moody downtempo take on the iconic Supertramp song. #witchhouse #darkwave #goth
I am Bow Church. I make dark music for dark times. I've been doing it for quite a long time but I'm new on here. If you like witch house, ambient, post-garage, trip-hop, trance and/or various goth genres you might like it. This is my favourite record I've made bowchurch.bandcamp.com/album/token
