Is today Sunday?

In the vast expanse of the cosmos, Tom Murphy awoke in bewildering solitude, encased in an astronaut suit, his memory lost to the depths of space. He floated aimlessly, gazing at the myriad of stars that stretched to infinity. But Tom, ever the optimist, decided to embrace his predicament, greeting the universe with a hearty, "Well, this is unexpected!"

Days turned into weeks, and Tom's astronaut suit became both his refuge and his prison. But just when he thought he'd mastered the art of cosmic meditation, he saw a glimmer on the horizon—a distant, twinkling beacon of hope.

Drawing closer, he beheld "The Starlight Diner," an oddity in the sea of stars. It hung in space like a celestial mirage, calling out to Tom with the promise of familiarity. As he drifted nearer, an unseen force tugged him gently, pulling him through the diner's two glass sliding doors.

Inside, Tom found himself in a scene straight out of a sci-fi daydream. The Starlight Diner was a marvel of automation, with no life forms in sight. The food materialized from a carbon replicator, and recycled oxygen filled the air. Tom chuckled at his absurd luck, thinking, "Who knew that being lost in space would lead to an all-you-can-eat cosmic buffet?"

Despite the oddity of it all, he felt strangely at home. It was the kind of comfort that could make even the most jaded space traveler shed a tear of joy. He savored every dish, downed endless cups of coffee, and reclined in the plush booth seats.

Yet amid the solace and comfort, Tom couldn't shake the feeling of missing someone. A lingering sense of longing hovered like a wisp of interstellar dust in the back of his mind. He knew he was missing someone, but the details remained elusive.

One day, as Tom stared out of the diner's large windows at the starry void, he contemplated his predicament. The universe beckoned, mysterious and full of promise, just beyond the sliding glass doors. He mulled it over, sipped his coffee, and knew he faced a choice: stay in the comforting embrace of The Starlight Diner, or take a leap into the unknown.

Remix of the original «C’mon» track from my 1st 2024 release due 1st of Feb. (check buy link). A darker, more minimal version here consisting of 7 synths:) That’s including 2 drums synths. My voice from the octatrack is included throughout but is totally unrecognisable;) Wav. file here. Btw, what genre is this? House? Tech House? Techno? I’m guessing hybrid. Moves at 132 bpm. Please listen on headphones. Enjoy!

C'mon (remix)

Our initial dialog with Synthia was an adventurous creative endeavour that made us question whether machines could have a soul. This one definitely spoke her mind, and left a fascinating mark on both of us as a wondrous machine––––––woman, a marvelous piece of engineering, an entity trapped in a modular eternity.

Considering that neither of us had any previous contact with such a complex modular system such as EMS Synthi 100, we took a somewhat intuitive approach. This is a fairly raw glimpse of the first days spent in the studio.

Oh, Synthia, we only just met...

Happy birthday Mark!!!
