What's up Syntrus Army!

Big shout outs to @lobstermango for this dope ass art and concept of my fanbase!

Guess what you bots? if you are reading this on July 29th it's my birthday! I'm 32, holy shit right? I'm an old ass robot now running an old ass OS while the world changes around me shaking nervously as the hip shit I loved goes out of style... here I am still here posting my chill ass beats to Newgrounds, and my latest track Ginseng should be releasing real soon, and I am feeling good about my next release, speaking of which @Staggernight hooked me up with an early birthday present in the form of album art for my upcoming project, check it out here: BONER PILLS

He tells me it's really hip right now, I'm not sure why....

So Riverside Park is finally completed, it has taken some time mostly because I am working in a warehouse involved in the shipping of gym equipment across Canada, and since all the gyms are closed everybody is getting home gyms, this means I am moving incredible amounts of tonnage on the daily and my exhaustion is real, when I'm not sleeping I'm eating and I get to have that brief little interval with my DAW and my new Laptop making the purest cut music on the market for your ears. I've been incredibly lonely, I mean my Mom is here at the house with me yelling at me to take the trash out or whatever, but I'm talking about you know, carnal needs, recently I matched with some nurse chick on teh tinder who was interested in me and my music but when I showed her my nice calm song A Nice Sunny Day Downtown (newgrounds.com) she got quote "Serial killer vibes" and promptly unmatched, to this day I have no idea what she was on about...

So yea Riverside Park featuring cover art by @houndkidz is a five track ep inspired by this whole covid thing and the park I like to take refuge in when the stress is getting to me, its coming to all major streaming services Via Distrokid and is availible for purchase right now on bandcamp and of course available to check out as a playlist here on Newgrounds. ENJOY MOFUCKA!

Hey everybody, just wanting to let you know how thankful I am to have this platform to talk to you all and share my music with you and express myself. Unfortunately due to circumstances in my life, outside of my control I am having to take a social media break, and practice some “social media distancing” for my mental health. Social Media Breaks Are Good For Your Mental Health

Since some events have transpired relating to COVID 19, and relating to issues of a personal nature with regards to my family, I will be logging out of discord, twitter and Newgrounds starting this Friday at 11:30 pm and not returning to my usual internet haunts until March 12th, to preserve my mental health, heal, and get out of the hype centric, sensationalist media loving, over connected world, we all live in.

A large number of my friends operate creatively through this website, and it has been a joy submitting, exchanging ideas, and working with so many artists and musicians, but right now my family needs me more.

One Love Syntrus the evil robot!

God DAMNIT I don't have anything to say! The Blog is called Syntrus Says! I have been given the ability to speak, wait a minute, speak? I'm typing. I got the art made by @lobstermango, and it should say "Syntrus types", but it's too late the thing was made it's here. Here I am with my little triangular headed robot made out to look like the Illuminati, I'm supposed to be like telling you how I'm going to take over the world, and triggering your schizophrenia with my um... army of.. um mutated clams, but lets get real, there is absolutely nothing, nothing, I could say that would be more frightening than our collective reality right now... okay now the blog is getting preachy...who am I Julia Roberts? With my horse face and my scented candles, coming on the damn TV to talk down to you, or like.. tell you about the world you already occupy like you don't already know? But DAMN IS LIFE stressful, you either don't go into work and have to deal with not having much human contact, or you're essential and you’re treated like over worked, expendable, human refuse.. just so the other half can be comfortable, add to that the political polarization not just in the US but in democracies around the world, and we have a shit storm of stress and bull crap happening to us, and all around us, all the time, and when we band together and buy shares in GME they still find a way to fuck us...

How do you cope? How do you deal with this stuff?

Personally, I've been spending a lot of time making retro computer sounding music I released 50 songs in 2020, and 5 so far in 2021, it's good to have an outlet like that, I make my own noises and I drown out the world. In a weird way the music makes it self, and I merely transfer it into my DAW. It's hard to explain but you're on Newgrounds so you can probably relate. It's like when you gotta get the shading just right on the anime tiddies you draw.

So since the pandemic, the political shit, the wall street shit, its happening, I have decided to adopt a pay whatever you want model to my album Submit. Go check it out, download it for free, making it brought me joy, maybe it will bring you joy as well...

I recently came into contact with #wallstreetbets over on reddit, and I thought since I have a few on call days I may as well make myself a memefolio, I bought like 5 shares on the stock market, the stock market is where the numbers go to fuck right? Which led to this corporate wave classic https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/994317 I took painstaking steps to make sure each synth was retro, and sounded pleasing to the 80s buisness men that would do cocaine while the world burns around them.

I hop onto Discord in one of the Newgrounds related servers, and bam ran into my friend and fellow robot icon user @RebeccaDoodles who expressed interest in using the track in her upcoming cartoon Stellapie. Click the links below to connect with Rebecca!

Mentorship

In an increasingly divisive world, we remember the words and actions of those that taught us, those that nurtured our ideas while our ideas were still forming, no one encapsulates mentorship more than @flashburn in my music journey, not even my first formal jr. high and high school music teachers. If you are not familiar with Flashburn please go and visit his Newgrounds page his Bandcamp and his YouTube, you'll note the great creativity which he shows in his musical projects particularly in Atlantis I've never heard anything like it before. Flashburn taught me how to use FL Studio when I was 12 while I was visiting his younger brother at his family home, he let me mooch off his license for FL Studio for three years, and he showed me some of the basic techniques of Techno Trance and Dance Music. A lot of the "basics" Flashburn taught me were in the area of musical style such as where the snare hits go, what basslines look and sound like in electronic music, you can still hear this influence in my recently front paged track Hard Won Victory If there was no Flashburn there would be no Syntrus, hell there would be no Drew Adams (me IRL). If I hadn't taken such an interest in FL Studio I would never have taken an interest in audio, I would never have gone to college to feed that curiosity, I would never learned to use Adobe Audition to make commercials, and news, I would never had gotten the hands on time with professional mixers, microphones, and cameras and I would never have gotten the opportunity to work as a NHL broadcast tech in Canada (where the competition for that job is fiercest). Just that one little push from a family friend lead me down a very interesting life path, which leads me to today where Flashburn and I are releasing the first trial run of our youtube show. Flashburn was kind enough to bring me on as co host after my contract with the NHL failed to renew, he hired me to use what I learned as a broadcaster and help build this wonderful new program "The Flashburn and Syntrus Show" it's still a little rough around the edges, but we are hoping to build on this first alpha, and even get more musicians involved. At the time of writing this the show preview will premiere in 14hours, I am incredibly nervous, and excited for your feedback!

Shooting words at you!

Hey everybody I got new glasses. A friend of mine said they got Music Composer vibes, but I think it is more like a Peter Griffin.

What do you guys think of my new glasses??
