A piece of atmospheric electronica that blends solo piano melody lines with synth textures and motifs.

Echoes Of Neon

Reminiscent of Vangelis' own ''La Petite Fille de la Mer'', this short , gentle piece is hopefully an effective contrast to the epic, high energy opening of 'Subway to Saturn'' on my new album release.

staring down a blank slate
looking at my shoes

This is my submission to the #kvraudio #OneSynthChallenge #190 featuring the VST Synth Vital from Matt Tytel.
All sounds are coming from the Synth acompanied by a number of moderate tone shaping, mixing and mastering fx. All fx free or built into the DAW. DAW is Bitwig 5.3.x. No Samples. No Postprocessing after the audio export.

What it says on the KVR-Site about still ongoing buzz around Vital: Vital - the awesome spectral morphing wavetable synth is currently at version 1.5. We last visited this beast about four years ago in OSC142 and it is still the 'goto' synth of choice for many.

Evil Clowns Took Over The World 2024【peter:H】【OSC190】

I made this track in April 2023. It features only 2 synths, although there are 8 instances of Rapture, and 2 of Ultra Analog VA-2. Its quite a minimal ambient piece, but with some glitchy synth parts, and quite a dark, dissonant vibe. I hope to include this on an ambient album release later this year.

Thanks to Petr Kratochvil for the excellent photo which I found on www.publicdomainpictures.net

Conflicted

Polarised

In the mirror 
I can see 
A reflection 
Looking back at me
He is more
Than he seems
Sometimes he
Smiles knowingly
Touch a mirror
Liquid silver
Feel my hands 
Passing through
I can see
What lies beyond
I step through
Into another world 

Distant voices calling
Phantoms pulling me in
It feels like I'm falling
Into another world
Distant voices calling (Lost in a dream)
Phantoms pulling me in (Lost in between)
It feels like I'm falling (Phantoms calling)
Into another world (Pulling me in)

I don’t know
Where I am
In this world
Of peculiar shadows 
Looking out
I see me
Standing there
Dazed and bewildered 
I am now
One of them
A phantom lost
And forsaken
To live here
Forever
Is the price
of stepping beyond 

Distant voices calling (Lost in a dream)
Phantoms pulling me in (Lost in between)
It feels like I'm falling (Phantoms calling)
Into another world (Pulling me in)

In the world behind the glass 
There’s no way to get back
Lost within silver light
Reversing day and night

Distant voices calling (Lost in a dream)
Phantoms pulling me in (Lost in between)
It feels like I'm falling (Phantoms calling)
Into another world (Pulling me in)

In the world behind the glass 
There’s no way to get back
Desperate cries phantoms roam 	
Forever trapped no way home

Another World

This song (Eyes in the Sky) is the second one where I’ve taken on everything, lyrics, music, mixing, the whole lot, with the lyrics inspired by the book 1984. The first was Plastic Smile, which was a bit more up-tempo. But with Plastic Smile, I feel like I didn’t quite get a proper grip on the song and ended up rushing to release it.

Eyes in the Sky

I went down a daft punk/disco/italo/house rabbit hole and it led me here.

Fragile Gods, the New York-based dark synthpop project of Frederick Frantz, creates flowing retrosynth tunes with minimal, atmospheric arrangements and unique vocals often backed with rich female harmonies. Their music, sounding as if it came from a cassette from another era, evokes the sounds of classic synthpop and industrial bands. 

In 2023, Fragile Gods released their long-awaited full length album, "Dark Water." Meticulously crafted over four years, the album features a diverse range of tracks, from the danceable to the surreal. Throughout the album, Frantz's vocals are both emotive and haunting, delivering lyrics that explore dreams, longing, and alienation. 

In 2019, Fragile Gods returned with their second EP, "Cold Comfort," and a new approach. The poppier elements which were hinted at on the prior release were now more to the front. Frantz's vocals are more melodic and less distorted. However, not all the rough edges have been sanded off as witnessed by "Step Outside the Frame." 

The band's 2015 debut "The Future Never Came" was influenced by the likes of 80s EBM bands Nitzer Ebb and Cabaret Voltaire with occasional synthpop elements surfacing. 

Fragile Gods is a band that is constantly evolving, creating a retro-futuristic sound that is both unique and timeless.
