This year, I would like pay an homage to an artiste at the crossroads of synthwave and chiptune: LukHash ! I have recreated a portion of the Home Arcade album cover. It’s an ambitious 111x116px, it will be a challenge to complete in 48 hours ! (for reference, last year’s Carpenter Brut logo was 64x64px)

The Algorithm is a french artist that is recognizable by his math/progmetal style and heavy djent guitar riffs. Please listen to this song until the end, the more synthware gimmicks start around 3:30. Thank you !

Hello Synthwave community ! The Fediverse Canvas event is starting on 18th July. Like each year, it's my pleasure to propose a template representing our music niche, collaborate and have fun together. This year, I would like pay an homage to an artiste at the crossroads of synthwave and chiptune: LukHash ! I have recreated a portion of the Home Arcade album cover. It's an ambitious 111x116px, it will be a challenge to complete in 48 hours ! (for reference, last year's Carpenter Brut logo was 64x64px).

Let me know if you have other template suggestions, or suggestions to improve this template !

Dance with the Dead has release a new album just a few days ago ! Personally, I am a huge fan. Ad Astra is the most "wave" style title of the album. Dance with the Dead tends to lean more on the electric guitar shredding and power metal vibe, which is totally my jam ! Please, check them out on Bandcamp, and I let you judge by yourselves !

BMX Escape is a very cool synthwave band that I really enjoy listening to. And as of yesterday they have a Mastodon account, which is partially because of me.

Hello all, Canvas is starting soon, would you be interested to represent our community?

Last year I prepared a pixel art version of Carpenter Brut's logo, but it was too late unfortunately. Although we managed to draw a nice render of the community's logo !

Would you be interested to join me early on to draw the Carpenter Brut logo over the weekend ?
