Expedition 2

I was really fortunate to be able to work together on a song with the very talented @johndunder earlier this year. We were casually chatting about music goals for the year when the idea of working on a collaborative song came up.

Initially, I was a little nervous - having never worked with another artist in the past but having spent some time chatting with John over the previous month's it seemed like it could go well and that we would work well together.

The whole process went so much better than I could have imagined - the demo I sent John was extremely rough and nasty - something I had put together on the OB-6 synth very fast one evening, but John mentioned that he had some guitar ideas that may suit it and wanted to work on it....so I sent him on the files.

No joke, a day later he sent back a near-masterpiece, completely transformed and fresh with ideas and layouts. We spent a little more time doing some small tweaks but what John did to this sad little demo was astounding.

I think the collaborative process went so smoothly it spilled over into John and I working on the artwork for the song together too 😁.

The track title - "Altostratus" is in reference to a type of cloud, totally inspired by the use of "Cloud" based storage that we utilised to share files back and forth to ease the song to completion. 

I hope you enjoy it half as much as I enjoyed the experience working on it. 
Thanks

DavZ - Exotic Spaces


Exotic Spaces (more colloquially known as DAVE album 2) is a unique collection of music, more accurately described as a collection of "sonic experiences". Transcending all previously set expectations, this 60+ minute album features both vocal and instrumental creative pieces, and works that destroy the borders of genre while still being coherent. This is truly a spiritual successor to the first DAVE album, and if it doesn't take you on a wild adventure, it will at least take you out of one.

Listen to Colossus, Road of Embers or Point Blank if you like high energy styles. For a groovy banger, check out Goose Bass or Chemical Cruise. If you want to hear an ambient soundscape, then listen to Nimbus. Listen to anything here, honestly.

Massive thanks to the Chillsynth community for their extra help and relentless support in my work, and thank you to Electronic Gems who featured Wavestation from DAVE album and Orion on their Youtube Channel, which gave me the confidence to complete another album so soon.

I also thank Yeffs and Brinch for their brilliant participation, which will hopefully set a collaborative EP underway with other artists. I absolutely loved working with these unique and underrated musicians, and they deserve much more attention than they currently have.

It cannot go without saying just how grateful I am to have Midwest Collective on board with the album, marking this album my first ever album that is released on cassette, and I am especially grateful for JohnMoProductions (Analog Collage) for the new album cover that he has created.

Also thanks to Wrighter, Sam, Trashman, Uvi Chaos, Legetroo, Bozzlie, Bean, AntFactory (and the variety of other people I haven't mentioned but you know who you are) for their frequent assistance and feedback with the album and it's corresponding tracks.
