An in-progress demo for my next album that I've spent the past few months working on the train to and from work. This will probably show up halfway through the album when things start to lighten up a bit.

Adrift In A Dream (Demo)

A song I'm pretty stoked on so far for my second album. This song represents being consumed by thoughts. There are two distinct movements so please stick around for a full impression.

I have exclusively been producing this song on my train commute to work for the past few months, and I'm now ready to start fine-tuning it on my home setup. 

Plagued By A Ponder (Demo)

My attempt at EDM while still staying true to IDM. Featuring field recordings from Thailand, the Salton Sea, Sequoia National Forest, and my friend Molly.

Out Of Mind (In Ignorance Demo)

It's my birthday so I figured I'd upload a progress demo of a song I've been having fun working on my train commutes to work.

Mental Murmurs

The Process of Becoming is the result of over eight years of self-guided musical practice, experimentation, and exploration with the goal of completing a full length continuous album. This is that album. It is an honest expression of my faith in God and my long determination to create the sounds in my head.

The style of the album represents an attempt at channeling all of my influences, which range from IDM, dark ambient, drone, electro-acoustic, downtempo, post-rock, progressive metal/djent, mathcore, and classical music.

The album is arranged as one hour-long continuous piece of music, though each individual track stands on its own as an independent song. Most of these songs originated as sound experiments between the years 2012 and 2013, with a few outlying late bloomers. In 2015 I finally began the task of sourcing my most coherent arrangements and composing an album. In 2016 and 2017 I produced on my laptop while riding the train to work, and this is when these sounds truly began developing their finished form and structure. The final step was to learn mixing and mastering. Now here we are.

If you're listening to my music and you've made it this far, thank you so much. Seriously. I hope you enjoy it and that you may find some meaning in it. It's taken so long to get to this point, I'm just so excited for it to be shared. And to anyone who may have their own dream they are working towards, don't stop making it happen. It's going to happen, just as long as you don't give up. And then the rest of us can experience it one day too. Just like I'm finally sharing this now. So cheers my beautiful friends! Thank you all for everything!!!

The entire album was created in Ableton Live 8 and 9, using only built-in Ableton presets and instruments that I customized. No samples were used, except for my own personal field recordings as well as some processed recordings of my voice.

Earlier in 2020 I had the honor of editing and co-producing the virtual 2020 AIA SD Design Awards for the San Diego branch of the American Institute of Architects. Some of the original musical sounds that I created for the awards were not used in the final pre-recorded videos. Instead of leave them to waste, I took those sounds and instruments and created a brand new song.

This represents my first full length song created from brand new, original musical sessions that I created in 2020 after the completion of my first album The Process of Becoming. It sets a new milestone as the fastest song I have ever created from scratch to completion. It also serves as a transitional, stand-alone single that will pave the way for the working sessions on my second full length album, which I hope to create with even greater efficiency.

All In All

Hi everyone, I am Shane! Shane Gundelfinger to be precise.

SG Vision represents my spiritually focused attempt to channel the sounds from my head, which draw influences from the atmosphere and beatwork of IDM, the immersive layers of post-rock, and the complexities and dynamics of progressive metal.

All of my music is dedicated to praising God through the creative potential of music.
