Animalia Music presents the debut Tone Ranger album, ‘DESERT ROSE’, a sonic journey across vast open landscapes, beneath blazing sun and star filled skies. Following a series of EP releases, this release is part of a larger episodic collection called ‘Peaks & Valleys’, a body of music that journeys from euphoric summits to the depths of ocean caves and the cosmos.

In this episode, guided by pedal steel guitars, violins, trumpets, synthesizers, percussion and voices; we gallop with wild horses through a tapestry of sounds. ‘DESERT ROSE’ moves with a dreamlike searching quality from radio frequencies to epic panoramas, arriving finally at the doorway to the next album (release fall 2022).

A new track from our upcoming album. Enjoy!

Boogie Trouble - Augnablik

In September of 2022 I got to perform at Voyage To The Caverns, which is the festival put on by CloZee and her label, Odyzey Music.  This was a really special show for me because it was the first time I was asked to do a "DJ" Set as opposed to my typical live performance that I have always done.  Getting to put together a 60-min. DJ Set was new to me, and really exciting because I could mix in other people's songs along with my own throughout the set; something I never did before.  I put a lot of time and love into curating a badass 60-minutes of music, and I got to rethink how I perform on a scaled down version of just two MIDI Fighter controllers (if you know, you know) and be creative about how to still perform lots of elements live by finger-drumming samples and controlling numerous effects.  So this is officially my first ever 9 Theory DJ Set at a festival, and a turning point for me as an artist to begin rethinking how I approach playing shows forever moving forward.

We asked some of the artists we love who we believe are dedicated to pushing the boundaries of electronic music to make their own renditions of the Ripples album by Alejandro Bento. They chose the tune they most resonated with and created very unique pieces honoring the piano yet bringing forth their own distinct sound. They were given full creative freedom in what direction they wanted to take their remix, and what they sent us was very unique and surprising, as expected by these gendre-blurring, boundary-pushing artists. We have collaborations from Memotone, Christopher Willits, Souns, LCC - Las Casicasiotone, Leeward and Axel Toben - this last one being a rendition by Alejandro Bento himself under his electronic music alias. We really like it, hope you do too.

Alejandro Bento - Mar (Leeward Remix)

This is the first remix released for my Against The Odds Of Entropy remixed album.  This song, "Orale," is the first track on the record and has been masterfully remixed by my friend Tor, who is one of my favorite producers out right now.  His music is CRAZY dope, and you should check out his albums Drum Therapy and Blue Book immediately after listening to this remix if you don't already know about them!  Word!
