Boot It

Stan DuClare - Boot It [Full album at buy link]

Outward Night

"Mall Ghosts" is third single from the upcoming album "Voices in the Night". It was inspired by the culture of "liminal space" and describes an abandoned mall.
Barely hinted downpitched vocalizations and sounds washed in a big reverb give the idea of ​​large abandoned spaces, which seem inhabited by the ghosts of compulsive consumerism and intellectual disengagement.

Mall Ghosts

Mall Ghosts (Single Edit)

Fairies have always belonged to the threshold—between seen and unseen, matter and mystery.
In the oldest Celtic and Norse traditions, they were not the delicate sprites of bedtime tales, but radiant, otherworldly beings: the Sídhe, the Álfar—powerful presences tied to sacred mounds, hidden groves, and the thin veil between worlds. They were not small, nor harmless, but liminal—both beautiful and dangerous, a reminder that reality is deeper than appearances.

Over centuries, their image transformed. Medieval storytellers softened them into tricksters and helpers. The Renaissance gave them stage-light in Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Victorian artists, chasing wonder, shrank them into delicate, winged companions of flowers and dreams. What was once a cosmic threshold became a glittering symbol of imagination.

This album lives in both worlds.
Synthetic Fairy fuses the raw soul of blues and progressive rock with the shimmer of synths, vocoder, and progressive house. Each track is an echo of that transformation: from the deep, mysterious resonance of the old fairy to the sparkling, electric shimmer of the modern one.

These six instrumental journeys are not bound by words, but by presence—fairies reborn in circuitry, wings made of oscillation, voices carried on vocoder wind, and flight sustained by house rhythms.

Step into the threshold.
Let the ancient and the synthetic dance together.
The fairy lives again—shaped not of wood or wing, but of sound.

Synthetic Fairy is a six-track instrumental journey where myth meets machine. Rooted in blues and progressive rock, infused with shimmering synths, vocoder winds, and progressive house rhythms, the album reimagines the fairy’s evolution—from the powerful, mysterious beings of ancient folklore to the delicate, winged sprites of modern imagination. Each track becomes a threshold, where the ancient and the synthetic dance together in sound.

"Wanderlust" started out as a cinematic sketch, with the intention of it being a birthday gift. It was never meant to end up on the EP, however, after some experimentation I liked the track so much that I decided to append it to the existing tracks and make it the 5th on the EP.

I chose to call this track "Zeitgeist", because it sounded uplifting and adventurous. This perfectly captured my mood while writing it. I also liked the fact that "Zeitgeist" is a word in both English and German, because I like to believe that music is a universal language, and this title was a reflection of that theory.

Despite being quite different to my usual style and to the other songs included on the EP, "It Takes Time" came along very quickly. 

It started out as a test, as I desperately wanted to try and use the 30 year old tape deck of my dad. I came up with some chords, and sent them through the tape deck, which ended up being the intro to the song. The drums have a four over the floor beat, which was influenced by the vast amounts of German techno I had heard previous to making "It Takes Time".

This might quite possibly be my favorite track on the EP. 

I woke up in the middle of the night, thinking to myself that "Discovery" would be a suitable name for my EP. However, when I started working on ideas for the title track, nothing seemed to quite work out. So I decided to challenge myself and sample something in my kitchen and turn it into a pluck. I ended up filling a cognac glass with water, until it sounded somewhat close to a B note, and then hit it with a mallet. This is what I ended up using as a starting point for "Discovery".
