Synthwave - beats to chill/game to

I was really fortunate to be able to work together on a song with the very talented @johndunder earlier this year. We were casually chatting about music goals for the year when the idea of working on a collaborative song came up.

Initially, I was a little nervous - having never worked with another artist in the past but having spent some time chatting with John over the previous month's it seemed like it could go well and that we would work well together.

The whole process went so much better than I could have imagined - the demo I sent John was extremely rough and nasty - something I had put together on the OB-6 synth very fast one evening, but John mentioned that he had some guitar ideas that may suit it and wanted to work on it....so I sent him on the files.

No joke, a day later he sent back a near-masterpiece, completely transformed and fresh with ideas and layouts. We spent a little more time doing some small tweaks but what John did to this sad little demo was astounding.

I think the collaborative process went so smoothly it spilled over into John and I working on the artwork for the song together too 😁.

The track title - "Altostratus" is in reference to a type of cloud, totally inspired by the use of "Cloud" based storage that we utilised to share files back and forth to ease the song to completion. 

I hope you enjoy it half as much as I enjoyed the experience working on it. 
Thanks

The DSI OB-6 was a big reason I made this song, I recorded a 32 bar loop of a patch I made on the OB-6 6 or 7 times (each time I played slightly different and adjusted the filter and mixer settings, I was looking for the perfect combination to get the patch right but what happened is I ended up chopping these recordings together into the structure of a song and over the course of a few weeks the song just wrote itself. I just went with what I felt was needed along the way. To be honest, it was a pretty stressful time in my life - I was trying to organize seeing my family again for the first time in almost 2 years and the temperatures where I was living were extremely hot and made working in my little home studio very uncomfortable but the time just passed by smoothly when I was working on this song - I think it helped me more than anything. 

The artwork is a photo I took in July this year looking out into the Mediterranean Sea, a melancholic view that made me think about what it must be like to be on that little boat out there. The sky is made up of small lines - which are some of the automation lanes that were used on this song, to give a sort of fingerprint to the sky and for me at least are almost a form of language. 

Anyway, I hope you enjoy it and as always, thank you so much for listening. Best, NiElsir.

Eye Witness Records (FNA Dream Girl Records ) is proud to introduce the debut album by Emil Rottmayer. The album is a collection of his most popular tracks from the past few years--a collection of thumping, modern takes on a classic sound. A charming listen reminiscent of 80’s synth-pop and nu-disco, its warm energy sustains through the entirety of the listen. For the first time, Emil is breaking free from his digital chrysalis, and his music is getting the treatment it deserves: a full vinyl release.
