World That's Not Real

Gordon Victor - Neoclassical

My self produced second album. Heavily inspired by jazz and Igor Stravinsky's "The Rite of Spring" (hence the asterisk "a sacred spring"). My most personal and poetic project to date.


Aeroplanes is dedicated to my recently passed grandfather (April 29, 2018).

Special thanks to Steven, Sasha, Sandy, Bubbie & Zayde, and Pete K.

Take 5 - The New-Age Beat Tape

I am very excited to release my first beat tape. Production has always been one of my strengths as a musician so I am very pleased to be able to show off some of my skills with this project.

"Take 5" is a five track long instrumental tape where every track is only one minute long. The whole project takes five minutes to listen to, hence the title, "Take 5". "Take 5" is also named after "Take Five," the jazz standard composed by Paul Desmond. This piece is known for its unique rhythmic and melodic qualities, something I feel is also present in this beat tape.

"Silver", "Spell", "Selling Time", and "Solstice" all contain samples, while "Slides" is self composed. Each of the songs are named after the sample they use, or the artist of the sample (ie: the Sylvers and "Silver"). "Slides" is named for the fact that I used self-recorded hits on a metal playground slide as the drums for the piece. Tracks include influences from jazz, soul, classical, electric, hip hop, and rock genres.

The goal of this project was to put out some unique pieces of music that truly showed off my production ability while also having some really interesting musical ideas. I was doing instrumental composition years before I started rapping, so it felt great to go back to those roots.

Some of my inspirations for this project include J Dilla and No I.D. These two musicians are some of my favorite producers and have done amazing work with sampling and production.
