It's as if you're doing a scuba dive one day and then the next meters below, you were suddenly greeted upon by that gigantic squid outta nowhere. Quite mesmerizing!

@lord-preset: Happy to read that. It's a beautiful instrument.

Wonderful! It conjures up squiddy images and shows off the synth nicely.

Inspired by recent video footage of the giant squid, this piece features the lovely Roland RS-505 string machine on all synth duties. It was a little tricky for me, as I've grown accustomed to using some form of MIDI and/or CV in, and this ancient beast can only be played live! Can you say, old school?! Note that any phase or flange effect comes from the Paraphonic's own fabulous Ensemble section.

Roland Tings - First Wave

buy there : https://rolandtings.bandcamp.com/album/first-wave

Since 2012, Melbourne’s Rohan Newman has recorded as Roland Tings, bringing his now trademark organic touch to the dance and electronic community. Following last year's sun-soaked album Salt Water, the producer returns with a new EP, First Wave. Rather than following suit of the highly collaborative album that preceded it, First Wave signals a return to Newman’s instinctive and solitary approach to songwriting, the same ethos that guided him while crafting his earliest Roland Tings material.

Drawing inspiration from his coastal surroundings, First Wave is liquid, malleable and oil-slick. Opener “Lights on the Headland” pulses with acid chirps and inky synths. “Down The Line” and “Orange Circle” take a softer focus, their melodies peeking out from a humid haze like sunbursts through the marine layer. The title track captures the essence of the EP — a feeling of euphoric come-up — before the closing track “Leaving” brings the pace down, gently undulating at a slower tempo as if underwater.

The sonic throughlines on First Wave are clear: drum machines and 80s snare, swirling pads with rolls of bass, and glittering arpeggios that channel shimmering sea creatures under the water’s surface. Like liquid, it all seamlessly flows, but it’s an undercurrent of intuition and melody that unites the music as distinctly Roland Tings.
