Hey, are you an old school Dr Who fan? Do you like electronica, techno and modular synth music?
Well it’s your lucky day, here’s a free download (unless you fancy buying me a drink) that encompasses all of your favourite things.
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
New album release: Tunes without beats.
Hi there, I hope your bank holiday weekend is going well. As promised, here is a new collection of music for you to investigate, this time focussing on compositions which are light on percussion.
All the tracks on this album are created using my modular synths, with samples, effects and all sorts of other peculiar electronic noises added into the mix for good measure. They range from truly ambient and relaxing, through twinkly and expansive to downright terrifying, so there should be something for everyone.
You can listen to the entire album for free via the player embedded below, or purchase it along with any of my other releases on my Bandcamp page.
So sit back, close your eyes and immerse yourself in the sonic world of Ambient{ish}
New EP release.
Hello there, I’ve just dropped in to let you know about another new musical release, this one a two track EP of extended modular synth pieces.
Not only can you listen to and purchase my two latest compositions via the embedded player below, but you can watch the accompanying videos here, too.
Enjoy the full audio visual experience and don’t forget you can check out the rest of my music on my Bandcamp profile
New album; “Synth Asylum”, out today.
Good evening, I hope your week is going well, I’m here to announce the release of my latest collection of musical projects; Synth Asylum.
Over the last few months I have been getting to grips with some new synths and sequencers, while expanding my music production techniques and exploring ever more peculiar sounds.
But in a good way, obviously.
So here it is, play for free via the embedded player below, or purchase the album or any individual tracks at my Bandcamp profile.
Also, here are some videos which I made to accompany tracks on the album.
Have a great Christmas and a fabulous New Year.
Another new musical collaboration: Carbonates On Mars.
I have been Facebook friends with Gareth J Farmer, aka Carbonates On Mars for years, but it’s only since I started experimenting with more peaceful, ambient music that it occurred to me we should work together.
Gareth is a veteran at making the kind of minimal, delicate and, above all quiet music I rarely have the patience for. So collaborating with him on these new pieces has been an interesting exercise in musical restraint and subtlety for me.
First here’s my remix of Carbonates On Mars’ Space Fields…
…followed by a second mix we called Entering Mechanical Worlds
Our third cooperative composition is this spacey soundscape, Graviton Waves
And finally, one of mine, At The Event Horizon
Audio visual round-up.
Hi there, it’s time once again to update you on the recent highlights of my musical ouvre, accompanied by the usual mind-bending videos.
First up, a down tempo ambient soundscape called 16.666%
The next one is equally ethereal, but more organic, as suggested by the title; Autumnal Ambient 1612.
Switching gears now, it’s remix time; with a completely bonkers rework of Westbam‘s version of …And More by Krautrock godfathers CAN.
After all that insanity, let the warm, soothing tones of my modular synth mesmerise you, with the first of two new compositions, Quantum Dots.
More trance-like multimedia immersion now, with the punningly titled πano
And bringing us right up to date, here are a trio of tracks from this weekend, starting with a satisfyingly squelchy drone, called Amorphous 0049
Then we go in the opposite direction, featuring more percussion than anyone could sensibly need in one track, this is Minimal Blip.
And finally, here’s my ’80s Garage Meltdown Mix a big, bouncy burst of electropop nostalgia; ’80s inspired synths and drum machines, with added garage beats and strange glitching noises.
I hope you found something to entertain you amongst that collection, check out my Bandcamp page for previous releases and stay tuned for more new material soon…
New ongoing musical project: dalecooper57 – In others’ words.
For my latest audio visual project, I have been taking words out of other people’s mouths and using them as integral components of my compositions, even if they’re not entirely intelligible.
I began with vocal samples of notable cult figures that I isolated from YouTube videos; Philip K Dick, David Lynch, Timothy Leary and Alan Ginsberg, which I then treated with effects and built the music round them.
Here’s Philip K Dick talking about the concept of living in “The Matrix”, long before Neo met Agent Smith in the movie.
Next up, David Lynch explaining Transcendental Meditation via the humble donut.
And now a potted history of LSD, with ’60s counterculture heroes, Leary and Ginsberg
Once I got the hang of this new ouvre, I requested volunteers from the many writers and poets on my social media feeds, hoping they could record some original material to further inspire me.
The first to offer his services was Al Jagiello from Chicago, who sent me some clips from his podcast, “Population”, which I turned into this jolly little number; Katz & Dogz.
There will be more where that came from, I can assure you.
Watch this space…
More new music: Return Of The Malevolent Seven.
After yesterday’s trio of Bandcamp mixes, here’s a YouTube exclusive; the latest of my unpigeonholeable electronica epics, this one is called Return Of The Malevolent Seven.
Enjoy.
