Echo Vocation Playlist

Single from my industrial project cell:burn. Lot's of sci-fi sound design on this one, along with hardware synths (Waldorf Micro Q & Microwave XTk, Nord Lead, Korg MS-20) Vocoders and a ton of beats...

"Close your eyes. Now imagine, pushing through the atmosphere in a galactic starship, as you escape the last remnants of the post-apocalyptic "Wastelandscape" that was once known as Earth; destination, unknown. All you can do is wonder what could have been done to prevent this destruction as you drift towards the emptiness of space..." (a good pair of headphones highly recommended in order to hear all of the [sound design] details of this one.)

The Island season 1, episode 6

Dive into the haunting rhythms of Lyke Paws' latest work, "The Wrist Note". Echoes of urgency pulse through every beat, a sonic reminder that time slips through our fingers like sand. Let the melodies guide you through a journey of acceptance, where the wrist note becomes a plea for a moment's pause.

What is The Island? In short, it is an effort in autodidactic study of music production, spanning the whole process from inspiration to publication. To not drown in the ocean of possibilities, I saved myself to the island of creative limitation. It is a limitation of tools, which encourages getting to know them inside out, and I’ll start with my favourite DAW, Ableton Live – and Ableton Live only.

The Wrist Note

Fruits of Shamatha (Demo Version)

This song was improvised using MPE multi-touch to control analog modeled synths through a Frippertronics looper.  It was first performed at the Stellar Lounge astronomy concert which was a collaboration with the Colorado State Parks and Wildlife. 

More on this here https://markmoshermusic.com/2024/07/10/performing-space-music-colorado-parks-wildlife-stargazing-event-thursday-july-11/. 

In other words, the song is inspired by experiencing the vast night sky.

Sonic Encounters is an original soundscape music podcast started by Synthesist Mark Mosher in 2015.

Each episode contains a story-driven original improvisational soundscape created with synthesis and sampling to capture, disassemble, reassemble, and shape the sounds around us. Episode covers are also Mark's original art.

Now in season 5, there are 35+ past episodes with over 4 hours of music! Show notes are in the description section within each episode on Soundcloud.

Review:
Goosebumps and Deep Breaths…I’m trying to restrain myself in writing this review as it’d be easy to come off sounding a bit hyperbolic… But these rich soundscape “stories” sincerely do thrill my senses… The concept for Sonic Encounters (so far, and in my interpretation) is this… You read a short text (sometimes the title is […]― BlindFlyTheater

Love Transcends

S05-E03: Love Transcends

Creepy organ sounds drive this tale of robber-barons waging aerial combat in hydrogen filled zeppelins for control of the opium trade during the Industrial Revolution.

Empty Vault 01

Two guzheng parts overlap with interwoven delays; a mellow guitar looper part gradually builds layers. This was part of a live set at Ohana Kava Bar on 8/24/2024. There's an "ambient video" for this track at my YouTube channel.

Meditation After Midnight (2024-08-24 Live Version)

Chill track featuring guitar/synth parts from a Jamstik Studio MIDI guitar. Glitchy, ambient, and trip-hop elements are combined in this track. This is part of a live set I played at Ohana Kava Bar on 8/24/2024. There's an "ambient video" for this track at my YouTube channel.

Satellites of Tyrell (2024-08-24 Live Version)

In this track I'm processing a Godin A4 Ultra fretless bass and Godin LGX-SA guitar 13-pin output in a eurorack/modular system loaned to contestants by SynQuaNon during a recent songwriting contest. For the contest entry we needed to use only the demo system to create sounds, and this is my post-contest "full" track with percussion added in Logic Pro. This track will be re-worked for an upcoming EP.

Blue Shift (SynQuaNon Contest Track - Demo Version)

Do androids dream of MIDI guitars?

This is a Blade Runner inspired track I wrote using my hybrid modular synth and laptop setup. I was pretty happy with how this song came together. Lately I have disparate influences like Nine Inch Nails, Glitch Mob, CHVRCHES, Gunship, Massive Attack, David Gilmour, Trifonic, Joe Satriani (I love the Crystal Planet and Engines of Creation albums especially), and Buckethead - and somehow this track combined a few of those influences with a retrowave vibe.
