Night Highway

B-side to the single for Tower of the Ice Lich game, coming soon to Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/3087730/T…the_Ice_Lich/.

This is one of the three Game Over track variant. It's a bit of a hybrid classical/synth piece inspired by three classical works:
Adagio for Strings by Samuel Barber (famed as the theme for the Homeworld game) 
Adagio in G minor by Tomaso Albinoni (dung dung dung)
and the Dies Irae bit of Hector Berlioz' Symphonie fantastique (monks hitting their heads with books)
With added DOOM! This one doesn't loop 'cos you're dead.

Most of the instruments are Arturia Analog Labs B-3 (organs), Synclavier (bass) and MiniFreak (voice/moan of the Lich). Then some SFX from a Korg Prologue 16 and a few stock Ableton sounds. Lots of spooky echo. Mastered using Ozone.

Cover art by Carl-Erik Engqvist of Sorchi Games.

Life Long Dream

The 51st release of katharsis is the album Afterlife by Danish artist Johan Carøe. The album takes shape through a collection of synth vignettes and spectral landscapes, where fragmented strings and ephemeral pads merge into weightless, hyper-lush forms. Created in a period of both new life and impending loss, Afterlife lingers in the space between presence and absence—a fragile transmission of shifting states, quiet relief, and fleeting sonic imprints. It stands as an isolated relic of a time that no longer exists—a collection of echoes, projecting the paradoxical nature of life and death.

Created in solitude on headphones and a MIDI keyboard in a transitional period in life, the album embodies a raw and intimate catharsis—the word in its truest sense. Without the usual studio space, these pieces emerged through line-in synths, VST textures, and fragments of old recordings—saxophone, cello, violin—stitched together like distant memories resurfacing. The absence of microphones and monitors lends the music an eerily virtual quality—a small life in a small box, a stretched-out portrait of a passing moment. It is introspective yet expansive, a meditation on the transient nature of memory, sound, and being.

Johan Carøe - Afterlife [Parts I,II & III]

Love is Peerless, 2 Ships in the Night

Kraftkabel is the artist name of Philip I. Buckland. I am a musical scientist in a parallel universe living in a studio flat orbiting Jupiter. My keyboards are suspended in gravity nets, and my mixer is controlled by the power of the mind. My cosmic sequencing software masters through the power of emotion, and my keyboards are simultaneously both retro and new.
My music originates from the point of divergence of these universes - the mid-late 1980's, but is spliced by genre splicing interludes. I use a time machine and dimensional portal to get to work.
For the other nerds out there:
Hardware synths: 
Moog Subsequent 37; Roland Jupiter X, JD-Xi, VR-09, S-1; Korg Prologue, NTS-1, Monotron Duo; Sequential Take5; Yamaha DX7; Akai PRO MiniAK; Novation Mininova; Arturia MiniFreak; Modal SkulptsynthSE; Teenage Engineering PO-20.
Main software: Ableton, Arturia Analog Pro, InSidious, random free stuff from the interweb and Dexed to program the DX7. Audacity. All played through Arturia Keylab and Keystep (which has a better arpreggiator).
Plus some guitars that I can't really play very well. And an mbira, tin whistle and an alien head-shaped ukulele.
