I enjoyed this track very much, thanks :)

immediately in love with these textures...

Excellent, excellent stuff. I got lost for a while in this. The textures you've created are amazing.

System Seven is set in the near future. The track explores the dreams of creating life and overcoming death. The modular system never stops while the tape represents humanity and how we perceive 'real-time' with a beginning and inevitable end. 


How System 7 was made.

This track was made using an Electron Octatrcak with modular synths and a Tascam four track.

It was recorded live in one take.

The Electron Octatrack was running two 64 beat sequencers with a variety of probability and chance trig-conditions set for each note in the sequence. So were set to higher ratio's such as 50-90%, while other notes were set to 5-25%. 



Modules used:

2HP Pluck
Strymon Magneto
Mutable Instruments Plaits
Mutable Instruments Yarns
Pamela's New Workout
Elektron Octatrack
Batumi Quad LFO
Strymon Big Sky
Tascam 424 MK2

Thanks for Listening. 

And if you just couldn't get enough, head over to Spotify for the full length version.

The vinyl is hand cut heavyweight and TRANSPARENT! There's also an insert of a secondary piece of my artwork, so you could think of it as a buying a print and getting the vinyl free! There are eight tracks, three of which contain #fieldrecordings from around Southend, mixed to my sounds. If you want the vinyl please consider preordering it, as there are only very limited numbers.

A Measure Of How Close We Came, from my new release - out today!

'Holographic Warmth' took shape as an informal studio mixtape, compiling a handful of orphaned sonic experiments and extended guitar drones that sprouted up in the restless moments between more formal projects [c. December 2018 - March 2019].

My intention was always to return to this material at a later date, with an aim to somehow "finish" it. Unfortunately, my focus was ultimately drawn to more pressing considerations and these files were left to languish on a neglected hard drive for many months.

More than a year after the initial sessions that yielded these recordings, I was invited to prepare a block of original material for inclusion in a 9128.live / A Strangely Isolated Place event curated by Mysteries of the Deep. I took this as an opportunity to let some fresh air into my moldering archives and stitched together 'Holographic Warmth' in a feverish rush. 

In an effort to maintain the raw, exploratory character of the source material, very little editing was performed and I took a light hand with eq and gain adjustments. Andrew Weathers – my longtime collaborator and friend – was also gracious enough to master the final mix-down and smooth out some of its rougher edges. 

Thank you to Grant Aaron and Ryan Griffin for facilitating the release of this material.

An "official" version of this release can be purchased at full resolution quality via my Bandcamp shop.

Enjoy.
