Farewell

The second track off my "Farewell/Gratitude" featuring extra percussion & synth work by https://soundcloud.com/ali-soliman, available for download here: https://piearesquared.bandcamp.com/


Gratitude (feat. Ali Soliman)

Here's the latest thing that I've been working on. It's a full on rock song, away from the more electronic/ambient stuff I've been making for the past couple of years. Still a work in progress though.

51°32'12 N 0°3'46 W (Work in Progress)

New album out: Lucciole, available here on a "pay what you want basis": piearesquared.bandcamp.com

My second full length, "Lucciole", is the outcome of my "74 in 74" project (the link is in the header), where I covered all 74 strategies in Dennis DeSantis' "Making Music". It is also the culmination of everything that makes Pie Are Squared what at is.

Elements of every single EP or LP that I've released thus far can be heard on this along with new facets of my music that hadn't been touched upon before. It's equal parts glitch, ambient, noise, drone and rock and yet is probably my most accessible album to date.

A Cure To Cure (feat. Amr Ashraf) •NEW ALBUM OUT*

SONOIO's "Blue" is probably my most listened to album in the past two years and Alessandro Cortini (https://soundcloud.com/alessandrocortini) is a personal hero of mine, so it only seemed fitting to remix one of my favourite tracks of his. This is meant to be listened to as loud as possible through decent headphones/speakers.
Here's the original song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Vh00BFxl3M

SONOIO - Hold On, Let Go [Pie Are Squared Remix]

So I posted a video of me playing this song last Saturday and the response has been amazing, 12k views and counting, which is insane. Anyway, for the people who wanted to have it as an audio file (and people who didn't) here's a rough mix/master of the song and if you want to watch the video here are the links:

Here's the original video's description:
A reverb drenched, tipy-tapy, live-loopy song for summer, probably the most upbeat thing I've made in a very long time. Very much influenced by bands like And So I Watch You From Afar and From Monument To Masses 
Thanks

36 Degrees on a Saturday (Rough Mix)

Pie Are Squared...now with vocals! Well kinda, this is my first ever song with a discernable vocal melody, running it all through a couple of vocoders and Soundtoys' brilliant Little Alter Boy. It's shoegaze/dream pop/kinda nice I think and I am planning on doing more stuff in this vein to record properly (hopefully with live drums) & release them in 2017.
You can watch me play it live here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=846X-C59v-8

Stay Inside (Rough Mix)

Consider this the counterpoint to "Stabbed in the Ear...", a song meant to linger in the background, played at the lowest volumes...


Hushed to a Whisper

Pie's most "Post-Rock" song to date. First part of a four part song cycle that I'm currently working on titled "J, Plain and Simple".

"You're a circling failure, in a rapidly decaying orbit.
That’s the reality as we talk now but you can change that.  
It’s in your power to change that.  
Yes you’ll have to work hard, and yes you’ll have to do things you haven’t done before and still your chances are very slim, 
but you could change it."

J [Edit]

Pie Are Squared is Italy-based Egyptian musician Mohammed Ashraf. 
One-half of Bennu.
One-half of Śruti.
One-half of Aken's Sleep.
One-sixth of Postvorta.
One-fifth of Void of Sleep.
