Hello, my name is lumina and i make music

profile pic My preferred genres are anything metal related and adjacent, and extreme music in general!
My current projects are:

  • Kuon (Crystar Black Metal)

  • Kuon is themed around the character from Crystar with the same name, as should be obvious that is also where the project gets it's name from. Titles and (eventual) lyrics too are themed around Kuon, and her dynamic with her sister Rei. The project is sort of in purgatory (hehe, reference) right now but who knows, maybe something will come of it again in the future.
    Lineup is as follows:
    lumina: Drum Programming, Arrangement, Direction Assistence, Songwriting
    Muramasa: Guitar, Bass, Mixing/Mastering, Songwriting
  • pinkshimmershiningthroughmyblindtearyeyes (Melodic Black Metal, Black Metal)

  • pinkshimmershiningthroughmyblindtearyeyes was sort of made on a whim after wanting to try the second version of the drum vst Deviant Drums 2, and some desire to make black metal stuff again. I was listening to a lot of Saidan and coffret de bijoux at the time of writing all material, which may not be fully obvious but both are a large source of inspiration for me :3.
    Lineup is as follows:
    lumina: Everything
  • rememberwhatyouoncedidtoyourselfandnowlivewiththeconsequencesofsaidactions (Crymachina Noisecore)

  • rxwxyxoxdxtxyxaxnxlxwxtxcxoxsxa was kind of a weird thing because I it was the first time I tried to make my first guitar parts on my own which as you can guess didn't turn out great from someone who didn't understand much about songwriting at the time. In it's current form it's pretty much dead, though I might revive it in the future in a different form.
    Lineup is as follows:
    lumina: Everything
  • flowerchild (Melodic Hardcore, Thall, Various)

  • flowerchild is machina's offspring in a little world I have built for myself inside my head. flowerchilds first EP is its first appearance in said world. Musically, I was largely inspired by Calle Thomer (of Vildhjarta and Stoort Neer) and other various melodic things. That whole EP was sorta me needing excuses for myself to try to write certain styles of music with my own weird flair, but I had a lot of fun with it and I'm happy with the end result. In the future I'd obviously love to have a vocalist or something on it, for now though I'll just have fun trying weird things.
    Lineup is as follows:
    lumina: Everything
  • machina (Dark Ambient/Brutal Death Metal about various robot girls)

  • machina was made after I listened to a lot of Industrial Forest, particularly this album. After the first EP, I got the idea of turning it into my first brutal death metal venture mixed with the 'old' sound of it, something that I have been wanting to do for a long time. My biggest Influences for the later sound of Machina are probably Defeated Sanity, Viraemia, various Alice/The Popu projects and of course still Industrial Forest since a combination of dark ambient and brual death metal seemed fun to try.
    Lineup is as follows:
