A contemplation on what it means to be human. Lose yourself in an immersive soundscape, built upon a solid bass foundation and decorated with subliminally suggestive vocal lines, shifting hi hats and wafting, dreamy synths. Dark chill for the world weary.

From the upcoming album Speak Your Mind. Releases on all major streaming platforms July 20.

Speak Your Mind

Everything

Chapter 239 of 266

Enter the enigmatic world of "TAFFETA," a musical tapestry woven from the threads of dreams and tragedy. Born from a single night of profound dreaming, this ambitious project embarks on an exploration of the human psyche through the language of instrumental music.

This is a five-year project, comprising of what will eventually end at 266 chapters, each is a standalone piece of sonic artistry, "TAFFETA" unfolds like a novel, with each composition serving as a chapter in a larger narrative. Crafted with meticulous care and creative fervor, every piece is birthed within the span of a week, capturing the essence of inspiration in its purest form.

But "TAFFETA" is more than just a collection of songs; it's a journey of the soul. Set against the backdrop of loss and longing, the project follows the story of a woman who slips into a coma following the untimely death of her husband. Through the evocative power of music, listeners are transported into her world, where emotions ebb and flow like the tides of a restless sea.

Week by week, each chapter of "TAFFETA" unfolds on SoundCloud, inviting audiences to immerse themselves in its haunting beauty. From cinematic compositions to haunting electronic soundscapes, each piece adds a layer to the intricate tapestry of sound, weaving a narrative that transcends the boundaries of language.

As listeners embark on this sonic voyage, they are invited to ponder the mysteries of existence, to confront the depths of sorrow and the resilience of the human spirit. "TAFFETA" is not merely a musical project; it's an experience—a testament to the transformative power of music to touch hearts, stir souls, and awaken the imagination.

Taffeta 239

TAFFETA | 239

This is the first in a series of eight easy, acoustic, rather short and inconclusive tracks, which I’ve assembled by working on new and reworking on some old material adding parts and sounds. 
Will anything actually happen in the end? Unlikely. Definitely not here. Here it’s a montage of bare arpeggios in various keys.
I recorded this some weeks ago: sorry about the guitar sound, the string squeak is a bit too much; now, I hope to have fixed that investing in a better and more expensive set of strings.

La ruée vers le numérique

Sci-fi nerd alert! A song inspired as much by author Liu Cixin as it is by Massive Attack.

Also, h/t to the bass octave pedal. You da best, mate!

So nice that my longtime collaborator friend @dough-factory has returned to SoundCloud after a break of a couple years! This is our first track working together since then and it came together in a really cool way. I was inspired by Ryan's electronic drums and bass to lay down some rhythm guitar as well as a few synth leads. Then he came up with some awesome lyrics/vocals that I think captures the vibe of this piece quite well.

Keep an eye out for more from us, we are thinking of pulling together a whole album or EP over the coming months.

I like to create abstract sound collages/jams and also enjoy engineering visuals (to go with the audio) 



My general methodology?
I think its good to be transparent and talk about how sounds are made
I'm all good not knowing quite where I'm going
I'm also happy ending up miles from where I started
I work in the box (but i do love outboard gear)
I'm a big fan of automation and realtime midi control of all params
I make liberal creative use of eq, reverb, delay, compression, saturation, distortion, pitch shifting and granular synthesis.

I'm kind of ok with some imperfections and a bit of grit in the sounds (although i try to avoid digital distortion)

When folk looked at the gear that Daft Punk used to make their first album they were pretty shocked. It really showed that its about what you do with a thing and not what things you have.
