Geeky cyberpunk’ish games and films music/sound composer with autism and two cats as assistants.
Always HIGH TECH - LOW LIFE.
Rated C for cute!
I am done with Reddit and have deleted my account. Even if I don’t cause an impact as a single person, I am happy that u/spez has lost a user.
By day, I’m a corporate puppet, lost in the shadows of suits and ties. But when night descends, I shed my corporate skin, becoming a edgerunner, the cyberpunk maestro.
Through MiniDiscs, my music empowers Edgerunners, rebels against the megacorps. I collect both MiniDiscs and cyberpunk RPGs, living and breathing the essence of the genre.
I hope this is not shameless, because I am a musician myself. But I try to implement the cyberpunk vibe in my music. For me cyberpunk as music is always a mixture of dirty sounds, darkness, and the thought of losing everything. That’s what I’ve tried to do with a few EPs and tracks.
Here is a small selection that cyberpunks found to be good:

In general, techno, neurofunk, dirty punk-rock is cyberpunk for me.
Now you have asked a good question that is not so easy to answer, unfortunately I do not have the ultimate beginner tip.
But what I can recommend to you is to play around with loops a bit - with that you can get a good basic idea of a song.
In the beginning I would advise you to do without plugins and learn the DAW. I use Ableton and have almost no plugins installed, because I create almost all instruments directly in Ableton - also saves money ;)
But I invite you to our Discord instance where many creative people are (see DATATERM Sidebar), we all try to help each other and give beginners gladly tips!
I think the link is broken :(
