Short for "Vangelis", long for lullabys. Definitely have a way wit' soaring. Like to start soft then dramatically build it up, that's the formula.

Messy portmanteau meets hot sax. Detectives who uncover a crazy conspiracy and the building blows up!
THANK YOU and that's why it's named so! Esp. on big bassy subs... *BRRROOOOOOOOOM*

Slight tip o' hat to early Orbital circa "Sad But True" and The Matrix vibes but with my kindred bundling of prog rock x RnB in da club driver's seat.

What happens when I take some retro breakbeats and "modernize" the works with bubbly tropical-Arabic percolations. Not gonna say no to that saw lead.
How does Sweden learn math?

Vaguely inspired by some Squarepusher track, guess which. Didn't use bass, but resorted to sine-derivative keys. Those broken chords fix me up real good mmmm!
I'd welcome a dance-architecture collaboration between the MΔori Haka and Chinese Hakka.

Aural equivalent of a vanity license plate. I freestyle the singy lines and do big beats like a marchy parade celebrating the RPG hero's next journey.

Began as Generic Synthwave 101, then y'know, I don't consciously go out to "twist" the knot but diaspora bits like crispy IDM perc all bouncyballlike merges in.
Every time I click that "New Live Set" it's putting a fresh sheet of paper in my sonic typewriter, my sound processor. β¨οΈ π΅ πΉ

A paean to the so-called Golden Age of early synthesizers with its shimmering warmth and gilded melodies β there's something about that unquantized, hand-played timing. πΉ π€
Made with Rocky Mountain Sounds' Cassette for Omnisphere 3.

"Working" on a new track thatβs like John Zorn sax + Timbaland beats + DJ crossfadin' β I discovered I can Transmutate to surf between parallel universes LIVE, so it dips in and out of adjacent timelines, effectively tuning a cosmic radio dial.

A tale of islandic scientific labs and the reign of crystalline skyships, compleat with a loaded accoutrement of universe-porting tech.

Starts bold, finishes bolder. When I'm in the midst of musicmaking, I generate momentum and have urges to stack layers like poker chips β the journey is always worth the bet!

Friendly greetings! ππΉ Happy 303 Day, Iβve got music you havenβt heard before, suitably including a couple Acid bangers and so much more. May this get your groove on whilst you reflect on existence.

Human kind
On how precedented unknowns expose our true selves, "AI slop" is everything, and how I've been using Suno
We're living in a reality where most of the people, most of the time, can't tell if something is AI-generated or human-handcrafted. It readily informs you about human frailty and an expanded forgiveness for those who are unable to distinguish (nor are curious to clarify).

Beat-driven embarkation lead by crisp plucks and a funk-adjacent bassline β all fantastic sounds from Rocky Mountain Sounds' Cassette for Omnisphere 3!
The record button βΊοΈ should be easy access at all times, so when you've got an idea, it can live on! Dedicated hardware RECORD BUTTONS are overlooked and uncommon. Skip the screen β make it an red arcade pushbutton you can thwack in a microsecond! Great for overdubs too.
Traveling so many parallel universes unravels contradictions: limitless possibilities and abundance with "ehhh it's close enough" interchangeables, yet there ARE exacting combinations which are also fantastically rare β outliers on the cosmic bell curve. π π
At this rate, Nvidia could literally cure cancer (by supplying the tools to do so) and its stock would still plunge. What an inverted, inside-out bizarro world we live in.

There's something about the out-of-focus fuzz and gently contoured edges that tapey sounds bring us... I made this ode to finding tapes in the attic w/RMS' Cassette newly updated for Omnisphere 3
I have a cat who'll try to get to food no matter, so he has no sense of portion control. He's a deeper sleeper and lunks down on me. And yet he reminds me of the value of persistence β the few times he's broken past defenses teaches him he can do it again. That means hope.
