hiya, aden here! 2024 is over, and so it's time for a recap!


overall i'd say the year was good, except for that one incident that led to me deleting my old @acheney accounts and being at my lowest point in my life. speaking of which, i still have all of my old media under that name on my hard drive, i've been meaning to upload all of it somewhere, preferably on my old url https://acheney.xyz with download links, but who knows when i'll do that. shoutout to @thejayjay for keeping an archive from up to 2023 on his website; you can look at that in the meantime


as for the vekoN project, considering the past eight months have basically been the debut period for the alias, i'd say it all went good this year. i released four singles, an EP, and a compilation of some older songs, all of which is on my bandcamp page; if you would check that out i'd really appreciate it. i was planning on releasing more but life just kind of got in the way. overall my release schedule was solid, although i wish i had done more. i also got a decent amount of streams on the typical music platforms, particularly youtube music. it's not much, but thank you to all who streamed my music! also i've had a massive influx of followers on bluesky; i got 287 followers between creating the account in october and now! thank you all so much!


i do have a lot of WIPs and a few mostly-finished tunes on my computer here, and hopefully i'll let as many of them as possible see the light of day in 2025. admittedly i've been struggling with balancing artistic integrity / the desire to achieve my best and SEO / business / release schedule considerations. someday i'll figure it out and not sell out, so to say


other than all that, overall the year was good. of course, my stepdad died from heart problems last june. i had known him since i was five, and though there were many rough spots in our relationship (including the aforementioned above incident), there were also great moments of love, and seeing my mother grieve for him really hurt me emotionally. RIP


now, as for 2025, i want to do more with music. i want to release more, make more, and listen to more. i also want to do some commissions; i have done exactly 0 this year, and i'd really like to change that, not just so i have some kind of income but also so that i can give creators the audio they need. of course commissions are still open, you can view all the info about that here


in terms of releases, i'd definitely like to release more singles and EPs, including past releases from here and soundcloud. i'm also working on an album that'll be a fully-fledged artistic statement, unlike the vekoN 0 compilation; i'd like to release that this year too


lastly i want to do more with myself irl; my current plan for this year is to start going to trade school for computer maintenance, get a job in the meantime, and maybe even finally move out of my family residence. i know that commissions almost certainly cannot provide a stable income right now, so i'll have to find something i like doing and do that alongside music


oh yeah, and i'd like to mention these wonderful people for being great friends and peers this year:

vekoN: Commissions are open!

iu_1265801_11295934.webp


I am an electronic musician and producer with over five years of experience and advanced musical and technical knowledge.


I offer a variety of services at a fair price! Contact me via PMs here if you want me for your next project! I'm open to any opportunities!


More About Me/Portfolio:


I, Aden Cheney, am the artist behind the vekoN project. I have also released under a couple other aliases in the past, but these do not represent my current style.


You can view my "official" discography via Bandcamp. My discography can also be found here on Newgrounds and on SoundCloud, along with some various tracks that are not yet part of a release.


These are the tracks I believe best represent my ability and the vision of the vekoN project (I will update these as I upload more):







You can also view my sound effect portfolio on Freesound, and I have some videos uploaded to YouTube as well. 99% of the sounds I use in my music are made from scratch by me.


I have not been significantly involved in any third-party projects, but I am looking to grow my portfolio and gain experience!


I accept payment via PayPal, but I can use other options if PayPal is unavailable to you. I prefer half-upfront payment.


Services:


Original Music: I will create original music for your animation, game, movie, or any other project that requires a striking electronic soundtrack.


For a single song, I charge $40 USD per minute. For multiple songs (e.g., an OST), my rate is $25 USD per minute. I am willing to adjust my prices to suit the budget of your project.


I am most comfortable in these genres:


  • Drum 'n' bass and its various subgenres (jungle, darkstep, atmospheric, jump-up, etc.)
  • IDM / drill 'n' bass
  • Breakcore / speedcore
  • House (primarily electro house and complextro)
  • Dubstep / brostep (including tearout, riddim/trench, and color bass)
  • Ambient / downtempo / glitch
  • Experimental / noise
  • Glitch hop / neurohop


I am also willing to compose and produce in these genres if needed:


  • Instrumental hip-hop (no vocals, unless an acapella is provided as part of the commission, see "Production / Mixing / Mastering")
  • House (of the subgenres not listed above)
  • Techno
  • Trance
  • Hardcore techno
  • Footwork / juke
  • Solo piano / keyboard
  • Chiptune / fakebit


I cannot/will not make:


  • Anything substantially acoustic/live (including, but not limited to: country, rock, jazz, metal, classical, etc.) I do not have access to live performers, instruments, or professional multisample libraries and do not know the norms of any of these genres
  • Anything that requires me to sing. I cannot sing well, yet
  • Anything that promotes a hateful ideology or serves a harmful purpose. I will be the arbitrator of this.
  • Anything NSFW. I am 18+, I just don't feel comfortable working in this space
  • Anything not mentioned here that I know I cannot do. PM me for questions


Note for game developers: I primarily use SunVox, a tracker with a project playback and manipulation library for developers. Thus, you are welcome to request interactive/generative project files to incorporate into your project using the library!


Production / Mixing / Mastering: I will produce, mix, and/or master your idea, performance, stems, or mixdown!


For performances (e.g., instrument playing, singing, rapping), I am limited to the genres listed above in the "Original Music" section. However, for mixing/mastering, I am not limited to genre and will mix and/or master any SFW, non-harmful material!


I charge $30 USD for a mixdown, $20 USD for a master, and $25 USD per minute of production. Mixing and mastering together will be $45. In all cases, I need a lossless audio file or files (preferably .wav or .flac). There is no headroom requirement, although if you send a 16-bit file I ask that it does not clip.


Sound Effects / Sound Design: I will create sound effects for your project! This includes sample packs!


I charge $.25 USD per sound effect. 5 in a bundle will cost $1.00 USD, 10 $2.00 USD, etc. If the number of sound effects is not a multiple of five I will round to the nearest multiple and add the remainder separately.


I will create any sound effect that does not require an advanced recording environment and material that cannot be found in a typical household. I specialize in synthesized sound effects, particularly sci-fi, "pseudo-acoustic", and anything based off of contemporary EDM sound design (e.g., basses, drums, pads, etc.)


Track/WIP Critique: I will be a second pair of ears for your finished track or WIP!


I have a vast amount of experience and knowledge to draw from when evaluating your track; I will give constructive criticism and advice on production, composition, mixing, mastering, and generally how to take your song to the next level!


I charge $2.00 USD per 100 words of critique. I will try to keep my review within a few words less or more than the allotted amount.


My Equipment:


My main production environment is the wonderful and versatile modular synth and tracker SunVox. I also use Ardour for "traditional" DAW work, and I have a variety of professional-grade FOSS synths and effects, including Vitalium (Vital), Surge XT, Zyn Fusion, and the LSP suite of effects. Where FOSS does not cover my needs I have created my own synths and effects in SunVox and Faust. I have a large library of samples and reference mixes I can draw from for my own work.


I use an Alesis Vortex Wireless 2 keytar as my principal MIDI controller, Audio-Technica ATH-M50X headphones with Dekoni earpads, and an Audio-Technica ATR2500X-USB microphone for voice recording. All of this is running under Pop!_OS GNU/Linux on a System76 Gazelle laptop.


Conclusion: If you're needing someone to perform any of the above services, don't be afraid to reach out to me! I am always happy to have your business, and I'd be delighted to hear from you!
