The Magnificent Seven: More new music.

Hi there, it’s time for another round up of my musical output from the last few months.

I am continuing to learn more about my pair of virtual modular synthesisers and I have also become more adept at mixing the resulting strange noises with beats and melodic samples.

Today I thought I’d pick a few of my favourite compositions and their accompanying videos, to give you a taste of how my sonic experimentation is progressing.

We begin with something rather restful and relaxing, called Spiracular 0902

The second piece is a more ambient affair, featuring my first attempt at creating synthesized voices, this is Dystopia Feedback Loop

Now for something a little more lively. This is a synth/sample hybrid which I remixed from one you’ll find further down the list.

This is the Cyber City Mix of Electocryption

The next genre-defying epic is a combination of both my synths and some added samples, which took me an entire weekend to produce, with a suitably portentous name and a maximalist video to go with it.

There’s no getting away from it, this one is just a big chunk of noise and is appropriately titled DefCon 10

Then there’s this, the original mix of Electocryption

And we end with a dark and downbeat soundscape, complete with some truly cinematic visuals, it’s time to experience the Post Industrial Clubland.

I hope you find something to enjoy amongst that lot, stay tuned for a new album on Bandcamp in the near future, thanks for listening.

Music update: Bank holiday triple tracker.

Hello there, I hope you’ve enjoyed this long weekend (in the UK, anyway) and you’re fully rested for the short week ahead.

I thought I’d give you a quick insight into my latest musical output, with a trio of trippy videos to accompany three new tracks.

Here’s a nice relaxing modular synth piece; Introversion

This collection of skittering beats and satisfyingly squelchy samples is called Dystophonika

Followed by another outing for the synth, with the trippiest video yet; Realignment

Album launch. M0DUL8R: Expanding my musical universe.

I have finally found the time to lovingly compile ten of my most recent modular synth compositions onto their very own album, which is released today on Bandcamp.

I’ve spent most of today tweaking, uploading, rearranging track listings and creating artwork for the project I’m calling M0DUL8R, so I hope you like it.

You can view and listen to the album in its entirety via the embedded player below and you can purchase it and/or browse my whole back catalogue on my Bandcamp page.

Wednesday Weirdness: New Bandcamp releases.

Today I have some new and original musical compositions to share with you, in the form of an album and a remix EP. First up are these lively and occasionally noisy tunes; featuring genre-mangling experiments with rock riffs, electro-tinged melodies and techno rhythms, each one available individually or complied into the Xamidimura album (which also includes a bonus remix of an earlier, ’80s-inspired track)… And that is followed by a three track remix project called Interkonnekt, which began when I couldn’t find quite the right sound for the final layer of a mix I was making. Eventually, I used one of the components from a completely different mix and the unexpected success of the arbitrary juxtaposition got me thinking; what if I mixed and matched the two main components of several mixes, what would that sound like..? Well, no need for you to wonder, because it sounds like this. These fabulous new releases can be listened to for free via the embedded Bandcamp players in this post. You can play the track displayed and if you click on the title you can view the track list, which can be purchased individually or in whatever combination tickles your auditory fancy.

Wednesday Weirdness: New EP release.

Over the last couple of weeks I have been working on a new EP of original material and I am giving you, my lovely readers, the first chance to experience it in all its glorious, trance-like complexity.

As usual, each track comes with its own bespoke artwork, along with the main cover art and each track is also available to purchase individually.

But you can listen to the entire EP via the embedded player below, should you wish to try before you buy.

Lastly, I’d like to once again express my gratitude to those of you who have already supported my adventures in musical experimentation, it’s always good to know someone appreciates the work I put in to these projects.

So, now it’s time to sit back, turn up the volume and join our future robotic overlords for a bit of a boogie.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present the A.I. EP, I hope you enjoy it…

Tuesday is tunes day.

Last week one of my all-time favourite bands was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame; techno pioneers and all round godfathers of electronic music, Kraftwerk.

In 1977, the Dusseldorf based, musical cycling addicts and transportation nerds released the hugely influential and groundbreaking Trans Europe Express. Much of the album features rhythmic motifs derived from the sound of trains clattering over rail tracks, producing an irresistible beat and perfectly matching their “motorik” sound.

So, by way of an homage to their recent elevation to Rock Gods status, I have created a completely original tribute of my own, cheekily entitled Trans Asia Express, which you can sample and/or purchase using the player link below.

All aboard!

Friday mix double header.

With another unplanned week off work as corona-furlough strikes again, I’ve been sitting in my garden studio (oh, alright, in a comfortable chair with my phone) adding to my rapidly expanding music catalogue.

First there’s this chilled out cinematic epic, once again produced from scratch with two completely separate, bespoke pieces of music, which I then mixed together on my DJ app…

…and here is the accompanying, multilayered video I created for it:

After which I was inspired by the warmth of the sunshine to make this rather infectious, (in a good way) Latin-tinged, rhythmic electro number…

…with more optical gymnastics to go with it:

More to come tomorrow, watch this space.
