In the first place I'd like to address why I don't like the name Exploudit as much anymore. I came up with it as I was planning to make kind of a YouTube channel for Pokémon remixes and rearrangements (akin to GlitchxCity's), however, I gave up on the idea but the name was already set. I do like the name still, but I just don't really like being associated with Exploud, which in all honesty I don't like as much as I used to, but overall, having a name associated with a Pokémon just doesn't feel right to me.
As for the new name, in the first place, lyd translates to sound in Norwegian. And while I have nothing to with Norway, sound is a word that really defines me as a person. I produce and love music, so it feels only fitting to change my name to it. LYD is also the name of one of my favorite music labels, which I guess is always nice. There's also a music scale, the Lydian scale, which is my favorite out of the modes commonly used in western music. In addition, I think a short name is always great, as it is easier to both write and pronounce. The name lyd also feels a lot more serious than Exploudit. I've also been using the name in Discord recently and got quite used to it.
