Man With Glasses-Israel Hands

Bravo Marco - Double Tap  (M.I.T.D. Wax S.O.S Repack)

Euphoric string melodies + glitchy goodness = "Fluctuate".  Some new music coming atcha from our beloved producer/violinist/wizard, Stan, following the wake of “Entangled” (collaboration with Scatz).  After a brief period of intense studio isolation, Stan (aka Sam Goodman) is ready to show everyone what he’s been working on these past few months, which can be described as the most beautiful violin-infused future bass you could imagine.  Today, we give you a little taste of what’s to come.    

Those of you who tuned in to our party with Lush Selects this past Sunday will recognize “Fluctuate” from Stan’s set, which combines strings and stop/start glitches to deliver a masterfully composed piece of musical art.  Stan has been showcasing his violin beautifully in his recent works, while also proving that he is a brilliant, well-rounded producer.  If future bass is your thing, Stan will easily become one of your favorite artists because he brings organic, radiant sound to the table, along with plenty of low end to satisfy the bass-head in all of us.

Stan is putting the finishing touches on his debut EP (to be released in the coming months) so you can guarantee that he will be making a name for himself this summer, in addition to touring with Michal Menert on his festival run.  For now, press play and turn the volume up really loud because “Fluctuate” is a mind-melter, people.  All we ask is that if you enjoy it, hit those <3 and repost buttons.  Much love WUMP fam!

Stan - Fluctuate

Crushing Landscapes With Icebergs

Created for the Disquiet Junto Project 0239: Code Requiem 
@disquiet

To mark the passing of Soundcloud's Groups, this project asked the artist to “Compose a short composition in memoriam for a piece of recently deceased software” 

Is a program truly "dead" if it still exists on your hard drive? If it hasn't been updated since 2009, and is no longer distributed... then probably so. This is my rather dreamy requiem in and for the lamented Tuareg 2 by Bram Bos. Flaws, pops, and crackles in the audio engine and all, I'm still fond of it to this day. RIP (and thrive on, as long as my hard drive lasts).

(a few additional production notes...) Most of the piece is based on a sample from another improvised piece tentatively called Coup Tourist, which may eventually see the light of someday. A 5x Paulstretched version of that riff is looped directly near the end, while in the rest of the piece the sample is manipulated through Tu2's Bliss 2 virtual sampler and my favorite gating/slicing effect possibly of all time - the Variator. The high bell-like melodies are Tu2's Halo FM synth, and the bass is it's Amber animated modeling synth.

Pops, crackles and artifacts are just part of the charm with this software - it is not gentle with it's phrase looping points. But if you're open to it, it can lead to some great noise patterns along the way.

Requiem For A Tu [disquiet0239-coderequiem]

We can spend all our lives by walking in our own shadows trying to fight them until one day life will not help us to make the choice that will forever change us: to turn our gaze towards the light illuminating our shadows to make them disappear. 
Ancient times and centuries and centuries of experience. But we never got lost. There are unbreakable bonds created by invisible forces that unite two beings in a continuous connection.
Inspired by “Shadows and light” novel.

Music, arrangement, production and concept: Massimo Ghianda.

Vocals: Ana Axe @ana-axe and Massimo Ghianda.
Synths, Keyboards, Continuum, Electric guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Sliding guitar, Bass and Percussions: Massimo Ghianda.
Lyrics: Ana Axe, Tatiana MK, Massimo Ghianda.

On The Steps Of My Shadows (feat. Ana Axe)

LUCY: the story of the child who lives in all of us, tied to his dreams, even if one day he becomes an adult. This is the story of life, from the childhood till today, this is the story of deep connection with dreams that accompanies the child for so long until it comes true when his eyes finally know they see LUCY taking flight before him.

Wonder

VERSE 1

Darkness falls all around us
We see it
We feel it
We breathe it
Darkness seeps out of the shadows
Darkness seeps out of the shadows
We wrap ourselves in it
It’s the fashion of the day
Wrap ourselves up in it
To blend in and fade away

CHORUS

Small wonders never cease to take my breath away
Small wonders scattered through the darkest of days
So take up your rose-tinted glasses and
Chin up until darkness passes
Let the small wonders give you strength through the fray


VERSE 2

Darkness falls all around us
We see it
We feel it
We breathe it
A fear of the fight that surrounds us
A fear of the change that is boundless
We think we’ve hit our limit
And forget how to be brave
Fiercely nurture our limits
Never learning to be brave

CHORUS

Small wonders never cease to take my breath away
Small wonders scattered through the darkest of days
So take up your rose-tinted glasses and
Chin up until darkness passes
Let the small wonders give you strength through the fray

ENDING

I jump head first into shadows
To dispel all their powers
I love so I can go on, though never quite the same
Small wonders are the blood in my veins

Wonder

An impromptu track made for @rumourtone Check it out and let me know what you think :)

Sample from First Spaceship in Venus, under public domain

Waiting For An Answer

Telesto is a joint effort between Boson Spin (Stan) and synkrotron (me).

I quite liked one of Stan's Odds 'n Ends tracks, number 14, to be precise, and you will find that piece here:-

https://soundcloud.com/boson_spin/odds-n-ends-14

I slowed the pace down, from 130bpm to 120bmp, added two more synth tracks and copious amounts of Adaptiverb and Guitar Rig.

A big thanks to Stan (https://soundcloud.com/boson_spin) for letting me work with his original piece of work.

I hope you enjoy the end result :-)

A remix of my single Ode to a Friend. The amazing TC Newman gave it a total make over and the result is stunning.

A Fly on the Wall

I see a funnel, a big black hole, at the bottom of the pyramid scheme
Them fiends got the hunger to feed on the other but they ain't gonna feed on me
I may be sick of myself, and hence, why I think of myself in the past tense,
Them fiends got the hunger to feed on the other but I'm not very appetizing
Life like rain from the cradle down to the grave
With just enough time to paint my name of the walls of the cave
Remember me, won't you please, remember me this way
Them fiends had the hunger to feed on the other but they never did feed on me

I may be sick of myself, and hence, why I think of myself in the past tense
Just me and myself and the has-beens, buried deep in a machine's memory
Just do your best "ain't no tomorrow" dance
Move your mechanical carcass
Them fiends got the hunger to feed on the other but I ain't nobody's harvest
Life like rain, from the cradle down to the grave
With just enough time to paint my story on the walls of the cave...
