I had an idea in April. I wanted to create a chord progression where some notes of the chord were only present in the background synths, and some notes were only played in my usual delayed arpeggio patterns. I had no idea how it would sound. Well, it instantly blasted me away. This time, I loved my main theme so much that every other melody and riff felt lame right next to it. I had this 30-second loop of synthwave awesomeness, and I had no idea how to continue it. So it took me a while to finish and polish it into a whole piece. Fortunately, I got some help from my friend and great, great guitar virtuoso, @jonas_tamas.

I guess sooner or later I have to create a new musical project to separate my ambient and my more aggressive ideas. We’ll see.

Drifting Through

Djrum's first release since 2019, the Meaning’s Edge EP is an introduction to a whole new world. For the artist also known as Felix Manuel, it was created in the final stretches of six rather traumatic years work. Having carefully honed his techniques and aesthetics, and learned some hard-won emotional lessons over this time, finally he began to work in a quicker, lighter fashion – and to cleanse his palate a little by bringing in a fresh ingredient: his own flute playing. For listeners, though, it will serve as an appetiser, a way into the delights and complexities of this new phase of his creativity.
 
It’s a serious work in its own right, mind. The use of flutes – including Bansuri, Shakuhatchi, Western Classical, and synthesised all blending and blurring into one another – gives it a coherence and a sense of airiness that unites the five tracks over half an hour, however divergent their beats get. And as in all his music, 
 
Here you find the opening track ‘Codex’ which alone touches on OG dubstep, Aphex Twin-like braindance, post-classical exploration, movie themes and more. The gentle tones and melodies that rise up out of it perfectly conjure Felix’s running theme of a protective bubble that provides a sense of safety and tranquillity even as the beats and acid gurgles and spurts all around it conjure up the slings and arrows of life’s difficulties.
 

… and it’s only just the beginning. This is the return of a master craftsperson more focused than ever on his vision and vocation and ready to blow your mind all over again.
