The Good, The Bad and the Dumb

Time for a little update - this is what's happening at Falconshield~

Last Tuesday I quit my job at Aurora Punks. The reason is mainly that I've had another job offer that I'm SUPER excited about(this is The Good), but there has been some issues at my current workplace that I'm glad I don't have to deal with anymore. 

A slight downside is that me and Lars had a deal t...

Awaken - Instrumental (Elden Ring song)

I really like this instrumental. The song is almost better without the lead xD

Awaken (Elden Ring song)

This song has actually been in the works for almost 3 months now! I knew I had to write an Elden Ring track, the aesthetic and lore is so inspiring! Symphonic metal seemed like a good choice, even though engineering this genre is very difficult imo. 

My attempt was to combine serene, beautiful moments with dissonant tension and epic...battles xD My main gripe with this production wou...

PICK YOUR POISON - Instrumental

PICK YOUR POISON (Renata rap) with FrivolousShara

Prepare to nod your heads.

It was such a treat to work with FrivolousShara again! Her writing and delivery is so clever and confident. Was an absolute treat to work with her vocals. 

I did THE MOST with this production haha! There are so many little twists and turns in the instrumental and production and sound design elements, I'm really happy with how it came out :D

Breaking Point feat. Rena(New original song)

Story time:

I accepted this commission from Lunari Valkyrie(She also commissioned the "Follow Your Heart" song) late summer of 2021. I was going to collab this with another producer who was going to make the instrumental while I wrote the lyrics and mixed it.
So this guy made a first draft and I wrote lyrics and a melody guide, sent it to Rena and she recorded her lead vocals.  2022-01-17 14:39:50 +0000 UTC View Post

Did I hear Karaoke party? :>

I'm sure you'll find a lot of interesting details in the instrumental version, I worked very hard on this hehe..

This Is War 7 lyrics

Zed

Forget what you’ve learned,

Your wisdom won’t save you from,

Pain well deserved,

An unseen onslaught, the wrath of the Kinkou,

A spinning devastation from the true kage bunshin no jutsu,

They call us to balance,

The scales must be leveled,

But no one will mourn one less Noxian devil,

And should we not revel?

Ca...

THIS IS WAR 7 - IONIA

The wait is over <3 

We're one week away from release and quite frankly, both me and Lars are very anxious to get this released. Like, I'm literally having feelings of anxiety every day. I'm pretty sure it's because release is coming up and we've spent so much time on this cursed project lmao.

We all feel like the end result is pretty awesome, but we've had so man...

ACTUALLY, December will have TWO release...

Arcane was pretty great, right?!

I personally loved it :D And I was apparently very inspired, because I started writing an Arcane song last week and I finished it...today! It's a banger and I can't wait for y'all to hear it! Planning on releasing in 2 weeks, video is in development.

(Of course you will get access to the song bef...

IT...IS...DONE...

I've finished the audio of This Is War 7. All the elements have been in place for a while, but polishing it and bringing the whole 10 minute piece on a consistent quality level took a whole lot of work still ;D

We're looking to release the music video in December 2021, and I am so incredibly excited to finally be able to share this with you and the world! :D

Take care of yourselves ...

A very exciting update~

Hey everyone!

I have been in touch with many of you on Discord, hence the lack of updates here! Sorry about that.

But, I do have something very exciting to tell you!

Together with my trusty mographer Lars Hellhammer, we are going to revive Falconshield :D Monthly music videos, big collaborations, and other cool stuff, we're giving Falconshield a whole new look but with the sam...

Move done - Vacation over!

Dear patrons,

I can't begin to express my gratitude towards your continued support, even though I haven't produced Falconshield content in so long(that has been released). 

So life update: 

We moved house. I AM FREE(if you don't take the mortgage into account lmao)! I have installed the studio in the basement and it's pretty comfy! I look forward to producing music a...

I've been busy but...

...it's not been strictly "Falconshield" work. 

Lots of things been going on. Got a new job at Aurora Punks which is great...I basically get to do what I do at Falconshield...but without the administration and creative constraints of League of Legends ;P There's talk about absorbing Falconshield into the Aurora Punks collective and in that case I might actually be able to WORK on Fal...

Status update time!

Greetings everyone.

I started doing this post this morning but got caught up in...family life with all it entails.

So last couple months have been pretty wild for me, both good and bad. I lost my job at Level Eight(studio closed) but got a pretty well paid gig so I'm good for the rest of the year. As a freelancer. It's a scary concept when you support for your family, but if I could...

Dear Patrons

Warm greetings to you all! I'm aware I haven't been updating that regularly, so here comes a big one!

So, life's been pretty tumultuous for me last couple months. I was working very hard with This Is War 7, up to the point where I finished the arrangement and have all the verses in place (huzza!).  About the time when that happened, I got a commission offer I could not - and did not...

I don't know what you guys think. Is this song publish-worthy or should I just sit on it until I have enough for a new album? 

/Josef

I've been busy

Happy new year everyone!

I've had 2 weeks of relative peace and quiet, but I honestly can't keep my hands off this project haha! It's a lot of fun to work on but it's a FUCKING BEHEMOTH! xD

As you can see in the project timeline...it's also quite long, but the instrumental is currently only missing one vital verse...so we're getting to a state of form completion. I am however, very ...

This Is War 7 draft7_Zed

Let me know what you guys think! 

Wow!

First off...

Many of you are new patrons, and I wanted to extend a thanks to you for the support! :)

Now...yesterday I launched the This Is War 7 kickstarter campaign, asking for 6,000 euro for covering the production cost. Less than 30 minutes later, the goal had been reached, and we're now well over 7,000... I was utterly blown away! 

Looks like I'll be working on a new...

Hack The Ghost - Instrumental

This track is now live on Spotify! But the instrumental is only available for you ;)

Enjoy~

Dear patrons,

Yesterday I sent out a new EP for distribution. The EP will be called "2077" and it's about... you guessed it...Cyberpunk 2077 :)

I've been hyped about the game since I saw the first teasers and I find the aesthetics very inspiring. I truly wish I would've had the time to write more songs for this theme, but I haven't. One of the songs I even scrapped vocals on and will just be a bonus in...

Hack The Ghost feat. Badministrator & Rockit Gaming

Here comes an early teaser! This song was written by me and Badmin for the Cyberpunk 2077 game. It's like 99% done but I want to give it some finishing touches first :)
