The Island Season 1, Episode 1

A Thousand Fleeting Moments is an electronic piece, starting with an atmospheric growling, quickly turning to energetic before drifting to emotive.

What is The Island? In short, it is an effort in autodidactic study of music production, spanning the whole process from inspiration to publication. To not drown in the ocean of possibilities, I saved myself to the island of creative limitation. It is a limitation of tools, which encourages getting to know them inside out, and I’ll start with my favourite DAW, Ableton Live – and Ableton Live only.

Lyke Paws is all about learning and experimentation at this point, so I have something quite different for you this time – a fusion of Instrumental Hip-Hop and Dubstep, with a touch of Jazz. What?! Beware of raccoons.

The Island Season 1, Episode 3

I've spent an excessive amount of hours on this one, but I've wanted to try and make drum & bass for some time, and although my ears are somewhat desensitised after listening to it so many times, I'm quite happy with the result. I think it should be quite fun.

Not Gonna Lie

The Island Season 1, Episode 4

This one has quite a weird mood to it and is probably influenced by contemporary history. And what genre is this even? Well, it is what it is. Have you ever read a more boring song description? If not, you should probably give this a listen.

The Island season 1, episode 6

Dive into the haunting rhythms of Lyke Paws' latest work, "The Wrist Note". Echoes of urgency pulse through every beat, a sonic reminder that time slips through our fingers like sand. Let the melodies guide you through a journey of acceptance, where the wrist note becomes a plea for a moment's pause.

The Wrist Note

Every released piece of his music is both a success and a failure, and with every subsequent release, Lyke Paws tries to fail a little less and succeed a little more. He does this mostly for himself, but he’s happy if you can find something in it for yourself as well.
