Vector Music by Suren Seneviratne is a true homage to the Yamaha TG33, a synth that he was hoping to keep forever, or at least a very long time but could not.
When COVID-19 struck, Suren was without work for many months so was forced to sell surplus belongings to help subsidise food, rent and other necessities. 
Some unworn sneakers and clothes went first and he avoided considering his music gear for as long as possible. 

Serendipitously, this was the perfect opportunity to make use of the famous 90’s synth one last time, and make it special. 
The synthesizer was sold via Twitter and Suren now had a deadline in which to make the most of it in two days before it would be gone forever and decided to record a body of work using only the TG33 as a sound source, to shine a spotlight on its quirks and idiosyncrasies.

This ultimatum proved to be really fruitful and resulted in the recordings that formed the eight tracks on the album 'Vector Music'. 
The broader collective sentiment of loss, anxiety and seasonal depression during the thick of the pandemic mixed with feelings of uncertainty, distress and fear which binded throughout the recording process and became sewn into the very fabric of the music. 
The song titles are taken from various stages of sleep: the once instinctive process which, since 2020, was radically altered and experienced anew for millions of people around the globe due to the phenomena known as Pandemic Dreams.
