Apparently I'm being censored

So youtube blocked my music video for the song The Best. Apparently they claim it was PORNOGRAPHIC. I would like to point out that there was no ACTUAL nudity in it, so I feel it's a bit weird.
Also this isn't the first time the internet seems to be censoring me and my music. For example, many times youtube algorithm doesn't let my own videos be in the "related videos" section for basically anyone's videos, including my own. So when you look at any of my music videos youtube page, the related videos are something completely off topic.

I'm a bit disappointed, that's all.

What is the point of Charming Timur?

What is the point of Charming Timur?

It all started for me as an intention of making songs that I wished would exist, but I couldn't find anywhere. I wanted a combination of certain styles of music that seemed nowhere to be found. So I decided I'll start making it myself.
Then I slowly progressed in terms of skill and ability and started to experiment with more and more new elements. That's why some of the newer material doesn't sound all that "unique".
The purpose of Charming Timur had changed for me. It became also of a motivational example that I wish to share with more and more people: if I can do this, then so can you!

YOU CAN DO IT IF YOU REALLY WANT TO. So many people out there saying "I wish I could make music"... You got it all wrong if you're just wishing and not taking any action.

Try, practice, learn, study, improve over time.

There's gonna be A LOT OF PEOPLE saying that you're not good, that you shouldn't do music and all kinds of crap. I don't know why this is, but even people who are your "friends" can start saying things like that. The thing is: They are all wrong. It's a confession of their character. That they are weak and envious, and you should really think about it if they are your friends or not.
So many people seem kinda bitter if I ever mention anything about Charming Timur to them, while others are like "man that's awesome, I'm happy for you!". That's how I know who is with me and who is just pretending to be.

So that's what Charming Timur is.

I don't get much feedback

I wish I had some idea what my listeners would want me to make. I'm not saying that I really need that information as a compass that I couldn't function without, but I feel like it would be nice to do something that fans specifically request from me.
I know that most musicians would NEVER do this, because they are pretentious dicks, but I'm too indifferent to care about anything, so I'm totally okay with releasing a "crowd-pleaser" album once.
It's just that I have no clue what people like or don't like, so I'm just doing a bit of everything.
Doesn't matter... just sharing thoughts...

Between Worlds

So yeah this album used to come as a freebie when buying other Charming Timur CDs  from bandcamp. Not anymore though, now it's an "official album". https://charmingtimur.bandcamp.com/album/between-worlds 





Yeah whatever.

Will there be any new Charming Timur material, besides this album, any time soon? I have no idea...

I will keep making new music, but I don't know if it's going to be Charming Timur or something else next. I might take some time to just improve my skills without recording or composing anything new. I will not promise anything anymore, whatever happens, maybe happens.

Future of Charming Timur

No worries, I'm not quitting this project any time soon. Just pointing out that I have also started a new project, so it will take longer between releases.
There's a whole bunch of unreleased "extras" that I have written for Charming Timur, that I thought I'd release in a compilation of sorts for free download. I dunno when that's gonna happen. Sorry!

Then there's going to be at least two full length albums and maybe an EP. It will take like forever until all of them are done, but whichever is ready first, I will release this year.

About music videos: there's probably going to be only 3 music videos anymore EVER for Charming Timur, just because I'm too lazy / uninspired to make them. The only exception is if I get SUPER popular somehow, then of course I will be way more motivated to make some higher quality music videos etc... but I don't really see that happening to be honest. CT is just too weird. So there's one music video which I have almost filmed all the material for. And then I'm just saving the idea of making two more after that, just to go along with whatever "hit single" or something I will choose from the highest budget releases I will make in the future.

Yeah I'm tired and depressed so "fuck everything" is my daily mantra nowadays. CT needs a small break at some point so I will be able to come up with new ideas eventually, but I will finish making those two albums and maybe even the EP before that.

And the icing on the cake is that I will make all my bandcamp stuff free for download now, if it already isn't. Why? Why not? I don't know, I just feel like doing so.
