The EP starts off with “Let’s Get Naked and Party Hard” - I envisioned a heavy melodic opener with dynamic bassline, percussion and bright synths.  I produced the first half in one session but, another day - and a couple of puffs - later, I sprinkled on some processed orchestra hits to really hit that party feeling. I fell into a rabbit hole of playing with rhythms in an attempt to create a sense of release.

Let's Get Naked And Party Hard

Hey everyone and happy holidays! I’m excited to present to you my latest release of the year, in collaboration with my dear soul sister, Alia Indigo. 

This album consists of 2 live sonic manifestations - “Live Spontaneously” started as a joke one Saturday when we decided to do very spontaneous things. Powered by lysergic acid, we sat in our studio and created a fresh project on our gear and allowed our creativity to take place - resulting in a noise / ambient live set that we’re really proud of - “live / spontaneous / live”. It was created DAW-less, using Digitakt, Digitone and a Korg Volca. 

“Monday Nights on the Balcony in London“ is inspired by our friendship. At home, we have created a safe space for self expression and collaboration, and this track is the result of our practice. It begins with dreamy smooth synths, layered on top of sparse, hard-hitting percussion, and evolves through glitches into a dark, energetic 4x4. We have used the same gear as per the previous track, this time recorded through Overbridge and further adjusted through the DAW. 

We hope you’ll enjoy the journey!

Live Spontaneously

alia indigo & sEmoa - live / spontaneous / live

This album is a response to how the world currently operates, and the dangers we’re facing - I’ve embraced a feeling of non-conformity and developed sensorial, almost tactile sounds that star the tracks in curious, bold and surprising ways. 

I have achieved this through live recordings of sound design experimentations for each sound, and allowing them the space to develop and take key roles in the story. 

“Realise” features an alert percussive rhythm and wide, continuous atmospheres blended together to create a feeling of expectancy. As the track evolves, the sounds increase in intensity and dynamics, reaching a groovy, space-like conclusion. 

“Reflect” begins with a hypnotic, abrasive groove that evolves in intensity and depth throughout the track. The baseline is accompanied by an energetic and playful synthesiser, together building an expansive breakdown. This follows a rupture in the groove and a sense of resolution. 

“Revolt” is an explosion of sounds - it’s the first track I created from the album, and it was inspired by Quirck’s New York Popcorn EP, featuring a snippet from Henriku’s “Listen to this Frank…”. Discovering music that is representative to me from a sonic and personal perspective is always exciting, and the vocal complemented my idea perfectly. With this track, I truly let go and just experimented with transcribing my feelings through sound. 

“Afterthought” is spooky ambient, an ease off from “Zoomers Against Capitalism” through sensorial sounds and deep movements. Implementing a similar sound design strategy, the sounds unravel through a mysterious ambiance, no longer chained to a beat.

Afterthought

In the pursuit of fulfilling my destiny, I decided to live my life under a new set of principles. Tabula Rasa is the sonic manifestation of my new journey. 

Wonder is a state of exploration that drives novelty. Filled with revelations and intrigue, Wonder navigates through deep atmospheres in the direction of a new step. 

Centred in the direction of the sub - it’s about pleasure. What’s right feels right, as right as moving to the beat in the middle of the dancefloor - Subcentred. 

New beginnings foster the element of surprise. The foundation of music is often a vibe or feeling, then experimentation and play, but there’s a specific moment when an idea turns Inside Out and reaches a stage of clarity and satisfaction. It clicks.

Inside Out

"Post House Anthems 002" began as a challenge to explore the concept of polymeter in odd-time electronic music production. Inspired by Chris Korda’s work, I found the process of creating music in time signatures different to the classic 4x4 very thought provoking. 

The way "Post House Anthems 002" is arranged is through the neurodivergent experience of going out to the club. 

“Laser Tag” is an idea, a collection of intense thoughts, the expectancy of a music experience that’s overwhelming, yet playful, fun and positive. 

“Hey Stranger” initially fosters a sensation of clumsiness, depicting the neurospicy affair of getting to the club and taking a second to get accustomed to the environment. Increasingly, the mood settles itself due to the experience of music. 

“Kiss Patriarchy Good Night” juxtaposes a series of alert rhythms, with spoken word, aiming to inspire a sense of revolution against systems of oppression. 

“Far Far Away” wraps up the sonic experience with a transcend in a far away universe. How far away?
