Black Malachite

Genres: I make music of all genres; with my top five that I love to work on being Classical, Progressive House, Dubstep, Trap, and Ambient. I also like to dabble in genres such as Metalcore, Industrial, Rap, Techno, Drum n' Bass, and Hardstyle. Most of my music is instrumental, although I am a vocalist (I'm a harsh vocalist [screams]).

Discography: I've released two albums, one EP, and am currently working on four new EPs which are part of a concept set with a story. I've also done several stand-alone remixes based on various things I enjoy (currently having done anime and Pokemon related remixes). I'm also currently working on two video game soundtracks, and a short film soundtrack that will eventually be released (no idea when that's gonna be, I don't control their schedules lol).

Influences: The first producer I ever really looked to for influence in creating my own music was Klayton of "Celldweller", which is an industrial project he's had going since the early 2000s. I consider him to be one of my greatest influences, along with other composers such as Olafur Arnalds. My influences are a bit weird considering most of the time I listen to metalcore / other metal related music, and bar a few songs that doesn't translate that much into my music bar my writing style. Particular tracks from particular OSTs have also been a huge influence for me, everything from Pokemon Platinum's wonderful immersive roaming tracks, to Halo 3 ODSTs piano backdrops.
