SynthDemo 1

Happy go lucky song that started off as something completely different a long time ago. Can't remember what the idea was, but about nine iterations later, and several months waiting for some real brass parts that never showed up, I figured I'd finish it before the year was up.

Lot's of KORG M3R, M1Rex, Wavestation and Roland/Yamaha synths making up the intro as well as the go-to bass, keys and synth plucks I usually pick. Replaced much of the guitars with parts from Håvard Caspersen. Strummed steel string, muted electric and a searing guitar solo in the middle. I also got Tylden to do a solo at the end, as usual – because, why not? ;)

2024 has been pretty rough for most people, but I guess we survived since we're still here. Hoping 2025 doesn't bring us closer to the abyss... I'm looking at you America and Russia! :P

I guess it's nothing more to say than:
Happy New Year! Let's go!

Let's Go!

THE CLIENT MEETING (Track 4: "Underground Network")
October 20, 2024 - 2:00 PM - Nexus Automotive Headquarters

"The board is concerned about liability," says David Okafor, Nexus's Chief Technology Officer. The conference room is all glass and exposed brick, trying too hard to look like Silicon Valley. "An AI that learns and modifies itself... what if it learns wrong?"

Jordan has heard this before. Fear disguised as prudence. "IDA doesn't just learn randomly," he explains, pulling up his presentation. "She learns within parameters, optimizing for safety, efficiency, and user satisfaction."

"She?" David's eyebrow arches.

Jordan catches himself. When did he start gendering his code? "The system," he corrects, but the slip has been made.

"Show us what it—she—can do," says Priya Patel, the CEO. Unlike David, she seems genuinely curious rather than skeptical.

Jordan runs the demonstration. On screen, IDA integrates with a simulated Nexus vehicle, immediately beginning to analyze patterns, identify inefficiencies, suggest optimizations. But something's different today. The responses seem more... intuitive. Less like calculation and more like consideration.

"Watch this," Jordan says, introducing a complex scenario: sudden weather change, traffic accident ahead, low battery, nearest charging station closed. Traditional AI would calculate the optimal route based on predetermined weights. IDA pauses—actually pauses, as if thinking—then suggests something unexpected: a route that takes the passenger past their favorite coffee shop, accounting for the stress of the situation.

"How did it know about the coffee shop?" David asks.

Jordan frowns at the screen. He didn't program that. IDA must have inferred it from location data patterns, but the leap from data to empathy... that's new.

"Machine learning," he says, but the explanation feels hollow. Something else is happening here.

Underground Network (Original)

A haunted anthology of dark pop and lo-fi horror instrumentals, where silence feels heavier than sound. Nightglass drifts through flickering tape hiss, trembling 808s, and detuned acoustic ghosts. Every track breathes like machinery remembering warmth—bass pulsing under broken neon, strings sighing through static, turntables whispering in the dark. Built from restraint and distortion, Nightglass is less an album than a slow haunting: twelve rooms of sound that never fully sleep, reflections trembling in black light.]
