omg Masha love this one everything you produce is amazing 👏

Pretty much won me over with the robo-vox right out of the gate. Haha.

Light-hearted (chiptuney, cloud-whispy) music. Charming vocal story too. You two have a whimsical quality to you that is quite refreshing. :)

Such wonderful ideas both melodic and with clever bold lyrics

Now available as a Single on Bandcamp! https://archmagemusic.bandcamp.com/album/synth-mage-single

An upbeat song about the magic of creative expression using the synthesizer.

This is essentially the Archmage Band manifesto about how we compose music and why. Thank you for listening!

Lyrics:

Spreading positivity
Through thoughtful creativity
Let will of Jesus guide my heart
In this I gain new clarity
I am a different kind of mage,
Reject all malice; cruelty; rage,
Refuse to be in devil’s cage
Instead I aim for purity
With purpose, crafting rhythms
That I see as correct,
In everything, the lead and drums,
And how they all connect
There is a very ordered state,
In what you call my oddities,
But I think my eccentricity
Creates the best of melodies
x2
(In all the work we undertake)
(He’s there, helping us)
(Let God, guide your heart)
(God’s will guides my heart)

Shaping each noise from humming lightning
Teaching my robots how to sing well
Sounds like a droning choir of floppies
In actual fact, three oscillators
Love casting music, I’m a synth mage
Space sounds fly wildly out from the stage
When I’m inspired, I have no limits
Aiming for sound waves with uniqueness
So many synths, when combined they make brand new sounds,
I think that’s cool, let me try and add one more module,
Slowed down my DAW right to a crawl
When I export it, I’m enthralled
I’m a go-getter, I’m relentless
I do not tend to settle for less
I used to be a mere apprentice,
When it all clicked, it was tremendous

…Let me mesmerise you for a sec
(Did it work? I hope so, that wasn’t tested yet)
Let me show you these muso tricks
Here’s some more I’ve got up my sleeves
Bit-crushing parts to sound so retro
Layer synth noises, add crescendo
Have so much fun creating tunes
Catching shooting stars with harpoons
Grand arpeggios like cascading waterfalls
Melting sounds of detuned chip bits
Turn up distortion, push up that drive
All of this process brings me alive
Love casting music, I’m a synth mage
Space sounds fly wildly out from the stage
(Let God, guide your heart)
(God’s will guides my heart)

As the darkness falls, so does the music. From the depths of the night come melodies that evoke mysterious and powerful emotions, songs that capture the essence of the darkness that surrounds us. So turn down the lights, and let the darkness embrace you as you explore the depths of dark electronic music.

Archmage Band was formed in 2013 by Rob Ulysses and Masha Solo, who are a musician couple and synth pop duo based in Australia. 

Big News: We're planning out the follow up to our previous album, 'Realm II [Instrumental Prologue]' and it has a release date of May 15th, 2024 (15/05/2024) but it is all almost done! It is a 20-track album exploring an experimental blend of synth-pop, phonk, gothic synth pop, chiptunes, fantasy and sci fi themes, and is also the soundtrack to our story/game in progress 'Parallel Tales' (as is the previous album).

More about Realm I:
In late 2023 we released a debut 12-track album, as part of the 'Realms' series, 'Realm I [Instrumental Prologue]' on December 12th, 2023 (12/12/2023) We're ecstatic that it's finally finished and we hope you enjoy it. It will be streamable both on Soundcloud and Bandcamp without limits.

Here's our website: http://archmagemusic.com/

Gear:
We use just one synthesizer, the Roland Gaia SH-01, for most of our work, combining it with sounds from Reason Compact and Figure on occasion.

All art by Masha unless stated otherwise on the release.
