Month: April 2022

What makes a non-official vs an official release? Bandcamp, Soundcloud, or formal wide Digital Distribution (#Spotify, #Apple, etc)? Here’s one, still unofficial recently posted to #Soundcloud: #IDM #Ambient #Electronica:

April 27 2022 – “Recur EP” released on Soundcloud and bandcamp. This is a 6 track EP of IDM, ambient, and live jams. most tracks were performed live with korg synths and roland drum machines, with additional mixing of glitchy beats. The EP has an old-school analog synth sound, but in terms of mixing, contains virtual synth and drum sequencing, audio processing, and synth modulation and mixing techniques found in more more current or nu-school productions. (Comment: get to know your synths, there are certain settings within select modules that lead to interesting and exciting new sonic possibilities, and then more interesting tracks).

This is an excerpt of 6 tracks from a 20+ track future release of live jams, b-sides and demos which will be remastered.

New EP, the 4 track sampler of the new album Glacier (out Spring 2022); simply called “Glaciers EP” will be out tonight at midnight, 11:59pm April 14, officially releasing April 15, 2022.

The EP is based on imagery of the glaciers and mountains of the Canadian Rockies and other peaks. The album is IDM and ambient, as musical styles, but also is experimental and defies genres, except in that is it an Electronica release. As a social commentary, it is a statement on climate change.

A brief synopsis of the tracks:

1. “Conscious Lush”: A virtual synth track, with processing and modulation.
2. “Glacier”: Performed live with guitar, bass, an AKAI drum machine, old Alesis synth, Microkorg. The mixed.
3. “Sediments”: Another virtual synth track, with additional mixing within a various micro synthesis.
4. “Doors of Perception”: And old virtual piano, with synth modulation.
