The Asylum is the second single from Metalogue & Fluff's collaborative album 'Slate Horizons.
Industrial and dark like the rest of the album, 'The Asylum' uses quite a conventional song structure and lyrics, while playing with distortion, big sounds, glitches and layers of vocal textures.

The current music scene is great because of the places where music is made and the experiments that are repeated by each personality. For individual creators, it is much more valuable to have an environment where they can come into contact with a large number of personalities than to be spread.

Thank you  for visiting my world, I'm happy to share! Listening is free, commenting is priceless.

I 've been composing electronic music for more than 23 years but only started this new project 3 years ago, when the band in which I played bass splited.

 A large amount of the music I love was recorded in the 70's. Among these revered groups , Yes, Genesis, Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull, Ange or King Crimson stand out. Over the years, I've also been very fond of many diverse bands and songwriters (The Doors; The Beatles; Bowie; Neil Young; Deep Purple; Led Zep; Patti Smith; U2; The Police; Massive Attack; Chemical Brothers; Killing Joke; Marillion; Morphine; Nirvana; The Young Gods; Dominique A; Noir Désir, Conil, Aurora ...). 
More related to my own synth music production, one could find influences from Vangelis, Jarre, Björk, Oldfield, Numan, Kraftwerk, Schultze and other pioneers. Finally, I should mention the great soundtrack composers such as Ennio Morricone, Wendy Carlos or Hans Zimmer.
Above all those great musicians stands the beloved statue of Ludwig van Beethoven, the visionary, the prodigy, the most sensitive man.

My desire is to be a tiny part of the admirable family of human composers and musicians in order to explore the infinity of musical combinations that our mind offers... To achieve this goal, I will continue to mix my own set of diverse influences in my own imperfect human way, without surrendering to any type of AI composer. My approach questions the astonishing way in which skills, sensitivity, aesthetic and personal history provide the fuel and oxygen for our creativity, while chance, curiosity and current feelings provide the spark. What matters the most is the process, not the result, the “product”. 
I often start my new pieces with a vague idea of the genre and mood I want to explore. Then, by playing with one of my synths, I let the sound impose its nature and call for other sounds it wants to play with.  My role as a composer is like that of a sailor acting on his rudder and his sails. I am neither the wind nor the sea and I have no map, but my instinct should allow me to avoid the reefs and I will eventually land somewhere, most likely a strange and unexpected place.
My pieces will always reflect the result of hundreds of micro-choices I made, consciously or unconsciously, that's what makes it fun, right?
Feel free to comment or criticize my plethoric prod because reading your feedbacks is the only reward I expect.

Influences: 
Indie/art rock, darkwave and the electroclash scene in the mid 00s. 

Discography:

'Down the Rabbit Hole' (Album, 2023).
In stores since 19th September. https://open.spotify.com/album/4Iq21rBQvgXesED9Hv8GEc 
I will be uploading high res tracks here over time.
'Down the Rabbit Hole' is a reflection on our world as it is today. Greedy, destructive, homogenised, selfish and exploitative. But we're resilient creatures. There are some fun, light-hearted tongue-in-cheek stories of adaptation and survival by becoming pretty fabulous.

'Slate Horizons' (Album, 2018) - Collaboration with @metalogue, London producer and cinematic sound designer. fluffling.bandcamp.com/album/slate-horizons
Indie-electronica, industrial, ambient, cinematic and experimental sound design.
A dark, sonic post-apocalyptic nightmare vision, dealing with events of the recent past, present and not so distant future: Social apathy, lethargy and indifference, public obedience, compliance and conformity, social paranoia, genetic mutations, nuclear threat, post apocalypse and human extinction.

'Black Cats and Criminals' (Album, 2015). https://fluffling.bandcamp.com/album/black-cats-and-criminals
A mix of ethereal electro/synth, pop and piano. Exploration of various topics of complicated human emotions.

My current musical project consists of composing music and tagging other artists, regardless of their genre. In recent years, I've discovered great talents, both professional and amateur, self-taught like myself. I also want to highlight musicians who stand out for their beautiful songs. Thank you to all my followers for believing in me, and I also appreciate the excellent music they create. Greetings to all! One more clarification about the musicians I follow: each author's music fills me with joy and is a source of energy for life!

Rock,Techno,Ambient,Metal,EDM etc...
There is no border.
Enjoy freely!

Uwe war ein einzigartiger Typ. Er lebte in einer kleinen Wohnung im Herzen von Berlin und hatte zwei große Leidenschaften: 🥦und Techno. Jeder, der Uwe kannte, wusste, dass seine Wochenenden eine exzessive Mischung aus basslastigen Beats und dicken Rauchwolken waren.

Eines Samstags, nachdem er seinen Lieblings-Joint gedreht hatte, beschloss Uwe, dass es Zeit für ein neues Abenteuer war. Er hatte von einem geheimen Techno-Rave gehört, der tief im Wald stattfand. Der perfekte Ort, um seine beiden Leidenschaften zu kombinieren. Also schnappte er sich seine Bong, zog sein schrillstes Neon-Outfit an und machte sich auf den Weg.

Als Uwe im Wald ankam, fand er eine bunte Menge von Rave-Enthusiasten, die bereits zu den treibenden Rhythmen tanzten. Die DJs drehten die Platten, und die Lichtshow war so intensiv, dass es fast so aussah, als ob die Bäume selbst tanzen würden. Uwe war begeistert. Er setzte sich auf einen Baumstumpf, zündete seinen Joint an und inhalierte tief.

Plötzlich erschien ein kleines Eichhörnchen vor ihm. Uwe, der in diesem Moment von einer besonders intensiven Welle der Entspannung übermannt wurde, starrte das Eichhörnchen an und fragte: „Hey kleiner Freund, willst du auch mal probieren?“

Zur Überraschung aller nahm das Eichhörnchen den Joint mit seinen kleinen Pfoten und zog einen kräftigen Zug. Dann begann es, im Takt der Musik zu tanzen, als ob es schon immer ein Raver gewesen wäre. Die Menge jubelte, und das Eichhörnchen wurde schnell zum Star des Abends. Es war der beste Tänzer auf dem gesamten Rave!

Am nächsten Morgen wachte Uwe auf einer Waldlichtung auf, umgeben von leeren Wasserflaschen, leuchtenden Armbändern und schlafenden Rave-Besuchern. Das Eichhörnchen saß immer noch neben ihm und hielt den Rest des Joints. Uwe grinste breit und sagte: „Das war die beste Nacht meines Lebens.“

Von diesem Tag an hatte Uwe immer einen kleinen Vorrat an Haselnüssen dabei, wenn er zu Raves ging. Schließlich wollte er seinen neuen Freund nie enttäuschen. Und das Eichhörnchen? Es wurde zur Legende in der Berliner Techno-Szene, bekannt als DJ Nussknacker.

Und so lebte Uwe glücklich weiter, immer mit einem Lächeln auf den Lippen und einem Beat im Herzen, während er die perfekte Balance zwischen🥦 und Techno fand.Alle Mixe sind spontan, nie geplant.
