Jarrelle Barton And Jonathan Waldo - Breath (lofi Remix)

this song is just two big synth solos. the whole song is really a synth solo. all my songs are slow, boring synth solos really

Shape Of N

Tectonic

This album is the culmination of work done between March 2016 and March 2017. It contains many samples from my life, including the voices of my children. Although I relied on the support of many others including some musical contributions, this work is very personal and is representative of hundreds of hours spent in my basement studio exploring sound through electronics and reconciling the events of the last 12 months. Downloads are 24-bit/96khz WAV.
