A track I wrote back in 2011 about what if aliens came down and walked amongst us, then one day they started revealing themselves to warn of a coming apocalypse (yea I know, think I pulled that from a fever dream lol). This is a full re-work as the original had a less interesting hook. I still use the original patches from the track (esp. the +z3ta ones), however the main pluck in the chorus was created on the new Korg Minilogue hardware synth I got earlier this year, and is a pre-set I created from scratch, which I'm kinda proud of because it took forever!

If you look up the word platonic, it gets described by friendship & affection. To me the word has always had this air of melancholy, love at a distance, unrequited, never meant to be. I wrote this song back in 2012 in a fit of emotion when I realised I needed to hang up the daw (digital audio workstation). I ran out of time, and bills needed to be paid, so I grew up.

Fortunately things worked out & that I can make music again. Though sifting through all the tracks I'll be working on to release draws me back to this one word platonic. Does this still describe my relationship with my music? Only the future knows, but I am hopeful.

Platonic (Original Mix)

A wounded ghost of a warrior wanders the wilderness in need of shelter. Bearing a makeshift walking staff in one hand, a blade in another, his stride tells of someone whose purpose is long forgotten. Through the bush and planes, he encounters beasts, scorn of the unforgiving, and kindness of the unexpected. Though he must push on, because he's a member of the fallen, a vagrant, a vagabond.

Vagabond (Original Mix)

A hopeful uplfting track about wanting to have someone's back, and truly believing they can succeed through their own strength. Letting them soar if you will through the clouds, because they gave you something, and you want to recipricate.

I must have gone through hundreds of iterations of this tune trying to get the right balance, but it's hard because it relies on a synth that is meant to fill the stereo like an electric mist. Little too much and it gets fuzzy, too little and it feels empty.

Thanks to everyone who's been checking out my stuff so far, it's awesome to see people like the vibe I'm going with! Make sure to check back, and follow, as more will be coming soon. I have another track called 'Let Me In' for October, and a themed trance track called 'Purple Orchid' ready for Halloween. Thanks again!
