about

Reeds on Pluto – a mix of recent “hard dance” revival with the genre that initiated my interest in electronic music – goa/psytrance. Cosmic and alien arpeggios backed by a thick reese bass in an industrial dance sauce.

Goblin Dance – hard dance/rave track, mixing influences from gabber-like donk bass, frantic piercing arpeggios, and in-your-face rave stabs. It’s just goblins dancing into the chaos.

Everyday Older – melodic and progressive techno with a nostalgic and profound mood and a realization that the youth is behind me, and every single day brings us closer to death, but we still have time to do great things.

Desert Monolith – experiments with more ambient / dub music (though I cannot resist adding pulsing rhythms and bass, even if slower 🙂 ) inspired by the mysterious desert monoliths and the Space Odyssey. The track is mostly generative – automated with LFOs, often randomized, not with manual curves/automation.

City Life – a sketch of a cheesy house/garage track. I wanted to do something more optimistic and “fun” than most of my other tracks that feel “oppressed/oppressive”. Silly rhodes solo, deep chords, and (probably too) swung drums. Also playing with vocals processing for the first time.

Kaczynski Zniszczy Polske / Zniszczyc Polske – I was devastated by the recent Polish anti-abortion laws. Observing all of this (from the shamelessness of the ruling party to the energy of protests despite the deadly pandemic) from thousands of miles away felt depressing, isolating, and surreal – I had to express my anger with this electro / EBM / synth-wave “banger”. Some live guitars, the 00s “electro” aggressive bass, and inspiration from Nitzer Ebb / Front 242.
