This is a very enjoyable listen - great work, guys

HOO12 04. THUGWIDOW & Bruised Skies- Blimey

I was kindly asked by the amazing VST/Plug-In creators Arturia to make a track utilising the new version of Pigments in return for being laced up with a copy and the new complete Arturia V Collection (which has been an absolute must for me for ages - beautifully made and almost impossible to tell the difference VST re-makes of some of the greatest hardware synths in history)

I thought I'd get cocky and make an entire track purely using Pigments - I enjoy limitations, but this was not a limitation; Pigment's is so insanely versatile while also being wide open, nothing hidden so idea to sound to composition was extremely free and exciting.

I used 9 instances of Pigments for this track, no external effects as the effects and modulation you can link up in Pigments is incredible - I highly recommend to fans of Vital, Serum & Massive - this takes things a step further in every way.

As for the track itself I went with a pretty raw 'minimal but confusing' approach - taking a lot of influence from Grime, Dancehall & Techstep DnB and a slight bit of footwork - I often enjoy runnning different sequences in different timings e.g. kicks in triplets, snares in dotted, and delays, reverbs & LFO's all in different speeds of the above - while not a complex track by any means it's proof that you can create a pretty hoofing and mentally engaging track with purely one synth and a few simple tricks

I'm hugely against Hardware Fetishism and hate how electronic music (music as a whole) is becoming an art form for the privaleged - you don't need anything but ideas and great and affordable software.

Sophia's Song

Following the events of "Annihilation", xato presents the second part of his personal odyssey, "Irrational Fear".

"Irrational Fear" explores the dark self with intense drone recordings being the main sound focus of the project, surrounded by field-recording manipulations and deeply evolving textures.

As the project's tracks aged between 2020 and 2022, it never felt like the right time to release the project. However things changed when the reasons behind the tracks were revamped in the more recent years.
