SynthMaster Track Contest 2020

༄⧖ 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑶𝒏𝒆 𝑷𝒐𝒆𝒎 𝑷𝒐𝒆𝒕 ⧖༄

This is a re-release of the original demo, taking into great consideration and carefully following the community feedback I ended up changing the whole structure of the track in less than 24 hours. It wasn’t the plan at all, but after receiving feedbacks and comments, I actually stopped and really listened in a different way. And honestly, some of the feedback made me see things I hadn’t noticed on my own. There were just too many ideas, too many layers… maybe I was trying to say everything all at once. So I started stripping things down, making space. I kept only what truly mattered — and even though a lot has changed, the atmosphere and the narrative built around Lauren Bacall’s voice are still there.
Now I feel like the track breathes better. Huge thanks to everyone who took the time to share their thoughts with me. Always open to new suggestions and opinions. 
Here is the second version of 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑶𝒏𝒆 𝑷𝒐𝒆𝒎 𝑷𝒐𝒆𝒕
🖤

Questo è una riedizione della demo originale. In meno di 24 ore ho cambiato completamente la struttura del pezzo. Dopo aver ricevuto diversi feedback, mi sono fermato ad ascoltare da un nuovo punto di vista. E devo dire che certe critiche mi hanno fatto vedere cose che da solo non riuscivo a notare. C’erano troppe idee, troppi livelli... forse stavo cercando di dire troppo tutto insieme. Così ho iniziato a togliere, a fare spazio. Ho lasciato solo ciò che davvero serviva — l’atmosfera, la narrazione legata alla voce di Lauren Bacall, quella è rimasta lì, uguale. Sento che adesso il pezzo respira meglio. E mi ci ritrovo ancora di più.
Davvero, grazie a chi ha avuto la pazienza e la voglia di dirmi la sua.
Ecco la seconda versione di 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑶𝒏𝒆 𝑷𝒐𝒆𝒎 𝑷𝒐𝒆𝒕

Adrenaline Slip is the ambitious and progressive debut full-length from Textbook Maneuver, the solo project of Michael Keane. This is an artist and composer to watch, presenting interesting new music with each release. He creates music that takes listeners on an atmospheric journey, taking his classical piano training but transforming his composed themes into organic electronic music.

Songs are born from improvisational sessions, where melodic themes evolve alongside harmonic and rhythmic progressions. Each track, supported by narrative-driven song titles and artwork, tells a story. The result is a unique fusion of nostalgic prog and contemporary electronica, offering an immersive listening experience.  Current success includes 5 released tracks, and part of Life Science Records. 

The album’s apex is the four-part suite, known but untitled as Space Trip. Starting with “Tell Them I’m Not Here (Still in Outerspace)”, a trippy long-form chill out. The video has garnered 47K+ views. The album moves into “Spacewalks”, Michael’s personal favorite right now. The suite closes out with the two-punch, highly melodic and emotional “Re-Entry” and “Controlled Landing.” Michael says, “these songs were inspired by the nearly nine months our two NASA astronauts spent in space in 2024 into this year. For each part of the suite, I wanted the title and musical themes, timbre, tempo, and overall emotional effect to be my interpretation of what it might feel like to be suspended out there, doing what you love but also wishing you were home.” There is a self-described coda, “Murmur 3 Home” which wraps up the album. Two other “Murmurs” appear. “Yeah, these are meant to be kind of like segues as the album moves through themes but serve as stand alone songs. I have many other ‘murmurs’ composed, planning on having on all future albums.”

Well, onto the music; over an hour to get immersed in. This is a very ambitious endeavor, for a debut, mixed and mastered with headphone wearers or listeners with long drives in mind. Looking forward to everyone’s reaction and what the future may hold for this talented new artist. 

Transition Metals

The composition of this Far & Off album began after on long period of detachment and isolation. 

This modern life we lead tends to saturate many of us with information, constant stimuli of all kinds and shatter time, as if we lived in small sequences. Some of us content themselves with that, some manage to regulate or tighten the flow, others collapse or pretend not to. 

I guess I'm not the only one to ever feel the need to fly away, remove myself from the ongoing swirl and purely vanish. 
It wasn’t a matter of waking up with a sudden urge, it built up, slowly, between the lines, it wasn’t caused by any philosophical, spiritual or religious belief either. It simply became a natural answer to the surrounding frenzy. 

To be on my own, far, in another context, without technology, an act of protection. Taste real solitude, a state in which no one else exists; cross the line, change rhythm and feel the passing of time. 
This is what I am sharing with you now, with keys and sounds, pads and patterns, glitches and drums. My desire was to compose contrasted tales, to bring light on the paradox, from one extreme to the other, harshness to tranquility. 

Mihalis, as he encountered a similar situation was keen on putting those emotions into music and the perfect partner as it turned out. 

Far & Off

Sulfur

"Hungarian electronic musician Aythar doesn’t mess around. He seems to have directly engaged, tuned in, and plugged in to the very molecules of gigantic interstellar tuning forks. Through his many-colored, shifting tapestries of ear-popping synthetic textures, realized from an enviable collection of prime keyboards and thoroughly charged-up modules, the sumptuous expanse of Cosmic Resonances provides the listener with more than just a mere glimpse into Aythar's macrouniversal soundworlds. Unlike others who are content to cycle their drones on endless repeat, bereft of purpose, navigation, or destination, here the artist revels in the sheer glory of beautifully wrought electronic arias that pinch the ear, alter course, tweak frequencies, and chart numerous surprises. The opening “Universe” is but one taut example, but later pieces such as the riveting masterblaster sequencer affect of “Glowing Comet” propel you out amongst the galaxies’ turbulent movements, where gravity ceases and various celestial bodies dance and play. Kinda awe-inspiring and fairly godlike, in the best sense of the word. "
Album teaser for forthcoming release "Cosmic Resonances" by Aythar (Carpe Sonum Records).

"This is my dreamlike journey in the embrace of the universe. This journey takes place in our inner world through imagination and leads us to the perfect relaxation. Anything can happen in this existence. Anything that we would like to do or imagine can be reversed. We can expand space, stop time and even reverse the melting of an icicle."
