New Meaning

Nightwalking

TR/ST is the musical project of Toronto artist Robert Alfons.

After years of extensive touring, and garnering glowing praise from top international critics at Pitchfork, VICE, and The Guardian UK for the 2012 Juno-nominated debut album TRST, the follow up album Joyland will be released by Arts & Crafts on March 4, 2014.

Joyland is an eruption of guts, eels, and joy.

A crowdsource experiment. The instruments were voted for drums, bass, synth, pad, sfx/extra on Mastodon. The results were:

Roland CR-78 for drum machine
Roland JX3P (substituted at the last minute for the modern repro Roland JX03)
Roland D50 for synth
Solina String Ensemble for pads/strings
Yamaha PSS680 Musicstation for sfx

These were all used on the first track (Social Warmup). For this second track, I replaced the Solina String Ensemble and Yamaha PSS680 by a Behringer Edge and a Behringer RD-6 (TR606).

Roland CR78 programmed with a Boss FS5U, but otherwise song mixed and played live (along with arpegiator for the bassline). Various midi devices (merge, split, midi to sync) and a bunch of guitar pedals (like Boss SL20, Pigtronix Echolation, Red Panda Particle, Boss compressor, Walrus Audio Sloer, Alesis Nanoverb, Pigtronix Mothership 2 etc were also used, fed into a Boss BX16 mixer, onto 15ips 10" tape. No computer or DAW all the way to tape.

Arriving On Time

It wasn’t love at first sight 
Not even on the third time 
Always kept you in my peripheral 
Even though I was skeptical

Liquid courage on a Wednesday night
One drunk text message 
And then 
I realize
Baby it’s on 
We’re going to get it on 
We’re going to get it on 
Maybe Friday

No expectation 
I’m just expecting you
To want me 
No expectation 
I’m just expecting you
To hunt me down

Meanwhile here I am
Trying to vy for your attention

Hey!
Well I can send my nudes to someone else
I’m not subtle and I’m not trying to be
Well I can send my nudes to someone else

I saw you in my dreams the last two nights
Two evenings in a row you kissed me for the second time

I can do both ways
I’ll give you your space
Or if you’d like 
I can take her place

What did she have that I don’t have
What made you want her as your other half
While “Thanks for the night” is the only text I get
And I’m right back there and I’m left on read

Drop that bass
Kiss and replace
Dressing up to get down
Face and makeup on
Scoping to get a fix
Hoping to get a kiss
then horizontal
Another miss

Well I’ll send my nudes to someone else
No expectation I’m just expecting you to want me
No expectation I’m just expecting you to want me

send nudes

Buzz Kull is the solo project of Sydney-based musician and producer Marc Dwyer.

Since 2012 Buzz Kull has been blending elements of darkwave, EBM, and synth-pop into a sound that’s dark, dissonant and danceable. 

His early work, including his 2017 debut Chroma and 2018’s New Kind of Cross, was defined by stripped-back production and a fascination with minimal synth textures. These records drew from early industrial and post-punk traditions, pairing drum machine-led tracks with cool, monotonous vocals and moody atmospherics. 

Over time, Dwyer’s sound has grown harder and more precise. His 2022 album Fascination, released through Italian label Avant! Records, marked a turning point — a sleek, focused collection of dark dance tracks that channel the energy of late-’80s body music. 

Outside of Buzz Kull, Dwyer is a frequent collaborator and remixer, collaborating with artists across the darker ends of electronic music. 

He has toured extensively throughout Europe, the US, LATAM and Asia, sharing stages with contemporaries like Cold Cave, Boy Harsher, Kontravoid and Spike Hellis.
