Imagine a dream so surreal and distorted you know it's a dream, but still, you're not waking up.

I started writing Liquid Dream in Ableton Live 9  back in 2016. At that time I was largely listening back to old school Goa/Psytrance and wanted to make a track that catches that mood, but with a bit slower tempo. I came back to it 2 or 3 times to improve composition. Finally this year I finished it, mixed and mastered. It was mixed in Ableton Live 11, and mastered in Studio One 5.

I promised myself, that I will not put my music making on hold ever again, and releasing this track is a first of multiple tracks that I'm finishing and releasing from past years before I will push the newer song that I'm working on right now.

Deep Inside is a emotional trip that tries to explore feelings buried deep down. Explore your own emotions while listening to this downtempo track focused on repeating melodies and beats all drowned in reverb and moving pads.

Deep Inside

The Underground is my first at Techno. Its a track that started as a small loop composed on local music producer meetup back in August. Steady groove with lots of reverb and a distorted acid line.

Arcane Clockwork

A 140 BPM Jam on Elektron Syntakt and Digitone. The sound design and parts of the composition were done for the 7daysofvgm challenge organized by VGM Academy. 

Hope you enjoy!

Sound was pushed only through multiband compressor, saturator and limiter to make it a bit louder.

Gdańsk on Acid - MusicJam 2022 Live Jam

Todays jam theme - let's get back to basics - one samples, one synth, one fx pedal. 😁 All drums, background sounds and bass coming from Elektron Model: Samples - only stock samples. Dub chords from Arturia Microfreak and Zoom MS 70 CDR - sometimes I feel like they were design for each other. 

Hope you enjoy!
