album cover for my first single!

trying my best to build traction on here lol. Hope you'll listen when it's done!

Fun fact! My first ever single is out on YouTube! Go stream now if you want or not I totally don't care at all haha please

Had a studio day today with my producer eric, hes the drummer from new age doom! Hes awesome letting me record for free and chill with him all day. We besties its so fun working together :3

Finished recording the bed tracks for all 14 of my songs finally! Today i learned that bed travks like the base ukulele and singing track! I Recorded 5 songs today. I Redid my take of poly dyke menace, and recorded the last 4 songs on my album. The bed track for those 5 will be on my new electric ukulele instead of my alto ukulele. My alto sadly broke in between our last recording session, it was my first ever ukulele. But i have my my electric now which is awesome :)

Next session we are going to back around and adding vocal doubles to everything, scream vocals to toke & choke and some. In another session greg, erics friend and bandmate from new age doom who plays bass, is going to plug my ukulele into some pedals and make it sound cool he has tons of years of experience so hell make some super cool layers to add to the finished product. Gonna make it super special!

Ill make a recording a live show at a studio show one day so there will be a live recording version thats more simple for people who prefer :3 i should have recorded last show its a shame i didnt :(

Song i made up in the booth after finishing my album and eric was busy texting and i was waiting for him to come to the booth window and say hi so i was singing in the mic for him

I made a playlist full of small indie/rock musicians that have a similar vibe to Lovejoy for all the people who don’t want to support Lovejoy anymore!

Check these cool musicians out :)

I made a music, hope you enjoy!

New song! This one's a general-use battle theme for Lancer RPG!

So, I dont think enough people know this, but spitfire will give you a free pro-level orchestra vst.

You just sign up, and after a waiting period, they'll email it to you. its great for students or bedroom producers who can afford to wait

It looks like they have eliminated the wait period since I downloaded this. Now its just Free.

MY SONG BAD PART OF TOWN IS OFFICIALLY OUT ON ALL STREAMING PLATFORMS !!!!! :D

my first track on spotify! i loved the comments few friends made after listening—i love how sounds and melodies take us to different journeys yet we always connect...

i'd appreciate if you give it a listen & share what it made you feel/think/imagine <3

hello lovely people!

i'm excited to share my very first serious musical creation with you—a four-movement composition for string quartet, taking you on a musical rollercoaster from soothing, poised serenity, to mesmerizing uncertainty. it's been a labor of love, and i can't wait to share it with you.

music has been my constant companion, guiding me through different genres and inspiring me to explore its many facets; this project delves particularly into the classical realm. this composition is a nod to that classical influence i hold dear.

the journey to creating these pieces began during my formative years, between 15 and 17. it's been a dream of mine, and despite the hurdles and unexpected challenges, i'm thrilled to stand here today with a tangible creation. while it may not be flawless, it's a representation of my first steps in sharing my musical vision.

now, this is where you come in! i'm reaching out to you for your aid and encouragement on this project. whether you support my vision by donating, share the project to broaden its reach, or simply give it a listen, your contribution makes a world of difference!

wour support means everything. let's spread the joy of music together.

much love.

About Frankie.Exe;

Frankie. Exe is an independent female producer. She focuses on making different sub-genres of music and experimenting with her sound. The first official single is Dark Jazz for Nothing, which focuses on a jazzy/ dark lofi sound for the listener to feel different moods as the song progresses.

Frankie.Exe then released “Detached” which is less than a week old at the time of publishing this status. Detached is inspired by a genre she calls ‘dark glam battle music’ which she feels as if it is a feminine battle anthem.

There will be more updates on here, via TikTok, YouTube, Snapchat and more medias through out time.

Edit: added a real photo of me. I’ve been feeling a little insecure lately because I had to cut my hair because it was getting knotted and broken! Trolls please do your research and send your negativity to trolling forums. I just started this profile March 21st 2024 ( made this account yesterday from today at the time of this edit..)

THE SONG IS UP ON SOUNDCLOUD AHAHHAHA

GO LISTEN OR I WILL PERSONALLY BREAK ALL OF YOUR BONES!!!!!!!!!!

I'm soo serious everyone should listen to this. Or at least reblog so it get's around more?

A friend of mine just released his first EP! I'm not sure how to explain it, but it makes me think of 2010s sad pop as well as indie christian pop. Which is a bop! He's been working really hard on this, so it'd be great if we can bring more attention to it. Cycles is AMAZING!

PART 2: Strawberry Hospital Instagram Q&A Q: Also do you like Sky Eats Airplane? Some of your songs give me the same vibe

N: "lowkey in shock that this band was brought up to me because they were (partially) the reason I found out what a DAW was in the first place because I read some interview of theirs back then describing their method of creation or something formative memories of listening to this one on a school computer in 5th grade" Q: When making an EP, do you usually have a "concept" or "vibe" before making the songs? N: "mostly! it is typically reflective of whatever sonic fixations I had in the years preceding the release itself + a culmination of whatever emotions are stirred up by life circumstances once I have that intersection pinned down, it begins to take a form of its own"

Q: Is there a story behind the Phantasmaphilia album art? It's so mesmerizing *0* N: "indeed ! the dead insects themselves were found outside of where I was living during the completion of the album, around this time of year. myself and some old friends collected them and brought them inside to scan in for the sake of the cover artwork. as for the bathtub image source, I am actually not holding my own legs but another person (out of frame) but we were wearing swimming trunks haha I wanted to create a feeling of ghostly vulnerability and I appreciate said old friends for helping me realize my vision at the time" Q: your music heals me and makes life bearable, thank you from the bottom of my heart. ❤️‍🩹 N: "I am so so grateful... thank you for sharing with me, it keeps me pushing forward knowing that my music reached you in the same way that other music heals me too (hug)"

Q: Squall. I love that song so much. I would love to hear your reasons for that song. N: "oh yes Squall! I wrote that for an internet friend who lived somewhere that was basically a perpetual snowstorm, I would stay up late talking with them and it meant very much to me during that period of time to me, the flurry of splittercore kicks and icy trance lead melodies reminded me of a blizzard" Q: How did you get your name? N: "strawberry hospital? or neptune? I'll answer both! strawberry hospital was intended to follow the naming trend of many bands and artists I grew up with, but also represent the otherwise polarizing thematic elements (bittwersweetness) and stylings present within the music and lyrics my name Neptune is chosen but I have kept it for over a decade now, it reminds me of the ocean and a cold planet very far away from here"

Q: Ilysm I sry if this is a dumb q but are the songs on halfawake all vocaloid or ur voice N: "awe no questions are dumb! the original release is exclusively vocaloid as I was too anxious to include my own singing in my songs in 2016. but the live version of the song is special, because I sing the chorus with my own voice instead. other albums feature a combination of my own voice and vocaloid (with exceptions)" Q: what is your bowling ball size? N: "this question is so unrelated I love it... so I cannot bowl to save my life and maybe I'm missing a double meaning here but they say a bowling ball should be 10% of your own weight right? in that case, like 12? I am unfortunate epitome of gay people failing at sports stereotype"

Q: what's your personal favorite song you've ever release?? 🖤 N: "Halfawake, Memento, Phantoma, Azure, Rhythm 0" Q: so like whats next for uu? N: "I'd love to play a few more shows before the year ends... maybe an international one? we shall see... otherwise trying to explore new forms for the project to take, I never want to reiterate what has already been established to the point of monotony heh" Q: I really love Tacit ❤️ and would love to know what it's about N: "Tacit is an apology for not being able to fulfill the role of what somebody would like you to be for them. not exactly a hard rejection but an assuring one (if such a thing exists) ... sometimes you need to use your head over your heart? I struggled with this at times p.s. it was heavily influenced by the haibane renmei OST!"

Q: Would you ever go on a tour! Californian fan here and I love you and your music :D N: "it will happen someday I am certain, playing a show in California feels obligatory (in a good way) plus I have had a few invitations from fellow musician friends that I need to take them up on" CONTINUED INTO PART 3 ON MY NEXT POST

also finally got this album up on bandcamp!
