Dear followers, subscribers, producers, et cetera,
Long time, no see. You probably wonder were Iāve been. To be honest with you, I donāt know myself, but I will try to explain everything in this statement.
The reasons of my abstinence are:
ā¢ The lack of motivation
ā¢ Time management / organisation - Apprenticeship (school and 9-5 job)
ā¢ Higher standards
ā¢ Exponential growth of the collections
ā¢ Other projects and integration of new ideas
ā¢ Donations
To understand the different points, I will try to explain them as good as I can.
The lack of motivation:
The last time I felt like working on the archive was a long time ago. To be honest, I cannot remember anymore. It was at the time I found a special person in my life and at the same time I wanted to make everything right but it only ended in a disaster. This was about a year ago.
Since then, I have not done much. The only activities of mine that I can remember are the archivation of some SoundCloud artists and SoundCloud archive accounts of every sort of genre (exempli gratia: @misoo74, @176s, @whiteradius, @ayazra and countless other producers and collectives). After all the time that has passed, I donāt want to know how much effort I have to put in the discography continuation of some artists.
I know you all have been waiting patiently for some new uploads and I apologize for not being active. If I ever be as active as in the start of this channel in 2016 ā 2017 is still unknown to me.
Time management / organisation and start of an apprenticeship:
Time doesnāt stop and we all know it. We grow as time goes by and so did I. Today is my birthday and I will already be 24 years in this life. I may not have a family nor friends in my life, but I have a regular 9 ā 5 job in an office and once a week I have to go to vocational business school. It is not difficult but as you might now, at the end of the day there is not much time left for otium. And these archival activities are only done while I donāt work or study. Iām also working alone on everything, even though I sometimes get help from colleagues (Thank you to everyone) but the biggest part is organised by me.
Higher standards:
Integration of detailed and elaborated metadata for each and every artist. The description I use in every upload is a key aspect of the archive. I have to credit every artist featured here and I will not stop doing it. Also, the metadata of the tracks I have on my HDD have to be edited all manual. I cannot explain the processes without having to go in detail. Maybe I will do it one day.
Exponential growth of the collections:
Self-explanatory; An artist doesnāt stop to produce till he/she dies or stops with music and the same applies to me.
Other projects and integration of new ideas:
Since the 26.09.2021 I have started to stream on twitch.tv under the name āSeelenleidStreamā. The focus of my twitch channel is gaming and nothing else. I try to stream, when I have time.
Mega(dot)nz description archive; As I cannot post every track on my archive and sometimes full albums, I will create a folder on my Mega account that will feature descriptions of artistās album.
Discord Server: Still in the making.
Donations:
It took a lot of consideration of mine to go this step. I talked to many people and everybody wondered why I never wanted money for all the work I have done. And now I found a solution.
Nobody is obligated to donate to me. I rather would like you to invest your money in yourself and your family, but whoever wants to support me has the possibility. The donations would help me pay for different disbursements, like fixed costs (electricity and internet), data storage, new equipment, et cetera. I will try to be as transparent as possible and will also annex an excel sheet for all the costs. Please consider that I donāt take paid requests. I donāt want to make money with the intellectual property of artists, but the aspect of organisation for this channel takes time and energy. Iām thankful for any help I get.

More information soon...
Nearly 3 months have passed since I last uploaded. Sorry for that. I started an apprenticeship and I work nearly every day 9 to 5. But the work never stops...
Here a new support e-mail for the channel: [email protected]
You can massage me for requests, applications, questions et cetera.
Hope you are well and God bless you.

Do you know that feeling. It's nearly midnight, you sit there, smoke a cigarette and just get lost in your thoughts. 3 years nearly have past since I started all of this. A journey with its highs and lows. You probably don't know what happens behind the scene. Thousands upon thousands of hours I have sat there doing what I do. I don't know why, if you ask me. Some would say I do it to become famous, others say I just try to cope with reality. And I say, I don't know. I never asked for money, a high reputation or even a Catharsis. I will also never ask for anything because I'm not in the right position to do so. I know some people don't like me, put I will not judge. Others like me and I very grateful for any support through encouraging words. I read every massage and comment I get on this channel. It at least I try to. I as a person am nothing special, just a guy try to get through the darkness that surrounds me. I would like to say thank you to anyone I have found. I will not mention any names as I would probably forget some. But remember that I will never forget you. This channel has reached a capacity so high that the organization behind of it seems to make no real progress no matter how much time I spend in collecting music and writing metadata. Hard to understand if you never saw the folders full of music, artworks and texts I always prepare. I'm sorry to any artists that still waits to be uploaded but it's just so much to handle. But I will give my best to make it in the end. A lifetime would not be enough to show you all the amazing artists I have prepared for you. Music that speaks out of the soul of every interpret I found or has found me. I value each and every one of you.
Sincerely, Seelenleid.
