New album number 2: Back to the beats.

Hello again, I’m back with yet more new tunes, with my second new album release in less than a week!

No, I haven’t been on a manic two day recording spree, these are tracks which I’ve worked on over the last few months, alongside my crash course in rack synths, patch cables, ring modulators, sonic envelopes, audio generators and all manner of musical geekery.

This collection has more of an eclectic EDM vibe to it, featuring my own peculiar mashup of styles and genres. From techno and glitch-hop to electro and house, with a pinch of drum and bass and a soupçon of Twin Peaks, it’s a tasty mix of sonic tomfoolery for your ears to devour.

Listen for free via the player below and don’t hesitate to purchase the album in its entirety, or any individual tracks which take your fancy, from my Bandcamp page for a ludicrously low price. (Also don’t forget to check out the dalecooper57 YouTube channel, to see videos for some of the tracks featured on the album)

Thank you for your attention, now without further ado let’s enjoy some Sounds from the shed.

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.

New music special – Part two: Sampling Twin Peaks.

In case anyone missed it, I’m a massive fan of David Lynch in general and the unique soap noir which is Twin Peaks in particular.

By extension, I’m also a big fan of the late musician, composer and multi-instrumentalist, Angelo Badalamenti.

I suppose it was only a matter of time before one or other of them featured in my musical endeavours and at the weekend I embarked on a project which involves them both.

I began by extracting just the vocal tracks from two Lynch/Badalamenti collaborations, “A Real Indication“ and “The Black Dog Runs At Night” and fed them into my sampler. I applied layers of effects to the vocals before adding a lot of industrial electronica and even more effects, then started on the video.

The raw materials were just a few clips from Twin Peaks and its prequel, Fire Walk With Me, which I chopped and blended and sprinkled with electronic fairy dust, before adding the newly recorded soundtrack to produce An Unreal Indication

New music special – Part one: Modulators and psychedelia.

Welcome to part one of this, my latest roundup of an increasingly prolific musical output.

First up, here’s another new tune composed on my modular synth; a burbling ambient soundscape, with some added sample sequences for a bit of structure, this is Thrumm.

Next it’s an epic techno odyssey called Conduit To Sector 17, made using the same technique, with another bespoke synth framework.

Followed by a big orchestral production number made from samples and sequences, with a video editing spectacular to match.

Stay tuned for part two, a Twin Peaks inspired multimedia masterpiece…

Sunday night rave: New music and video showcase.

Time for another burst of sonic shock and awe, one from each of my modular synth setups; starting with this beefed up remix of my Puls8 track, with added loops, beats and samples and an FX laden visual accompaniment.

And then there’s a completely new tune, a complex, glitchy electronica piece created using Hexen, mixed with a percussion track made on my sampler. The videos took me the best part of a day each and they are both definitely best enjoyed in full HD.

New album launch.

Good evening to you, I hope you’re having a good start to the weekend, even if it isn’t the extended one we’re enjoying here in the UK for the queen’s platinum jubilee.

That isn’t the only thing worth celebrating today, however, because he time has finally come for me to air a new collection of original music, in the form of my new album, Process of Elimination.

Listen for free or purchase one or more of the album’s 15 lovingly crafted tracks via the Bandcamp player below.

As if that wasn’t enough, I’ve already created videos for a few of the new tunes and here are three of my favourites.

Grid Muzik/Planet X: Double Bandcamp release.

My Bandcamp profile continues to grow and you can explore it in full by clicking on the image of my back-catalogue, but you can also get a taster right now in this post.

However, I only completed work on the second of the weekend’s peculiar electronica projects this afternoon, so this will be it’s first public airing.

I’d like to present to you, an up-tempo little number called Planet X, check it out, it’s never quite what you expect it to be…

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.

New album launch.

I’m delighted to inform you today marks the continuation of my musical publishing adventure, with the release of my second full length collection of original material, Sonic Cosmos.

The seven track album was composed, produced and mixed from scratch, using my Remixlive and edjing apps and includes custom-made artwork for each tune (which may also be purchased individually) in addition to the main cover shown above.

This time around there’s a varied selection; ranging from throbbing techno and retro synthwave, to chilled electronica and jangling guitars, all of which you can listen to via the embedded player below, where you may also buy any of the tunes which take your fancy.

Thank you to anyone who has already supported my creative endeavours by purchasing my eclectic (and very reasonably priced) audio output, I hope you all enjoy my latest offering.
