Bloater

My debut single, the first of many more set to release this year. 

This wonky techno track was inspired by a dream in which I locked a trumpet playing demon in my basement. Why I had a basements or why he had a trumpet I don't know, but he was making lots of noise down there so I started banging on the floor and he/she started playing to the beat and before ya know if we were playing some banging techno together!

Both tracks from the single were heavily inspired by eastern/Persian/Arabian scales and melodies.

This track was produced completely DAWless, using hardware synths and modular rig patches which then were sampled to and mixed in an MPC.

Mastered by Eric Sneo (Berlin), and some final touches by Darren Roe from Displace studios (Ireland).

Like the first track this song is also inspired by Persian/eastern/Arabian sounding melodies.

A taster from my upcoming album. Inspired by space, nothingness and gravity. 
Made using mostly the Moog Slim Phatty for bass, the LXR drum synth for gritty drums, and MPC for sampling/resampling of the drums.

Written/Mixed by GrandMal. Mastered by Darren Roe at Displace Studios. 

Expect more progressive electronica like this from my upcoming album set for release this year.
