"Oak Island Nights"

Trapped on vacation in Oak Island too long
The city shuts down at night, it’s all in the song
In a house on a beach, with waves under moonlight
My fam loves the sun, but I live for the night

With sharks in salt water and gators in fresh
Monsters in water salivating for flesh
Maybe it’s true that they only eat a few
But it seems like a lot when it’s you

Oak Island nights, no neon signs
Just a hush and a splash and a tangle of lines
Cast it out far, let the moonlight bite
We’re alive in the dark on Oak Island nights

The cooler’s empty and the bait shop’s shut
You can smell the shrimp boats when the tide gets cut
Ice cream melts faster than you can possibly eat
In a line that runs halfway down East Beach Street

Lighthouse watching with a beer in my hand
Some guy’s got a metal detector and a plan
They say Blackbeard left treasure here in the sand
But all I’ve found is dead crabs and a broke rubber band

Oak Island nights, no neon signs
Just a hush and a splash and a tangle of lines
Cast it out far, let the moonlight bite
'Til a shark steals the bait and your life in one bite

Oak Island Nights

Desert Technology

You are alone on the cliff and look over the dark city. You know what happens next, but what can you do?

A wall of Arps and modulated Pad Sequences, all done with native Bitwig devices.

Solitude

A moment's weight

A dark pulsing beat, dreamy pads + sparkling arps and a gnarly baseline. I love those ingredients.

All sounds build from scratch with native #Bitwig devices.

Talkative

This is my first attempt in the hi bpm area. All sounds are created from scratch with bitwig native devices.

I hope this gives you energy for tomorrow. Despite all the things that happen in the world, we must not give up. Stand up and continue. Even if with some grim determination.

Music for the last drive you’ll ever take, in a car that never returns.

Hi there ! I'm a french amateur musician. I use all kind of hardware synths and samplers to try to express my love of electronic music. Hope you'll enjoy !

I am composing dark electronic music in a variety of styles as my hobby. I feel my specialty is melancholic/dreamy electronics. 
End of 2019 I became more active after I started using #Bitwig Studio. So almost all the tracks you'll find here are from this era. Let me know what you think and constructive criticism is very welcome too.

I like electronic music of all kinds (started with Depeche Mode in the 80s,  EBM in the 90s and FuturePop in the 00s, but also like Melodic Techno, Psytrance, Harsh Industrial, ...etc.).

I've started making music in the 80s on the Amiga 2000 with various trackers and used Jeskola Buzz on Windows for a brief period during the 90s.

The gear I am using now:
A PC running OpenSuse Tumbleweed
2 27" WQHD screens
1st gen Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 Audio interface + 2nd gen Focusrite OctoPre
Novation Launchpad X
Arturia Keystep 37
Korg Nano Kontrol
My own  Octacon controller (https://github.com/ensonic/octacon)

I use Bitwig Studio with mainly the stock devices and Sononym for my sample library.

Just someone that likes making music in my spare time

I started playing around with digital music creation in my early twenties, but I have always been haunted by a quote from Theo Parrish who said that he is "not comfortable with convenience replacing artistry", meaning that you need to put effort into learning and mastering the skills in order to bring something good. I studied computer science and have a passion for logics and programming and somehow my lack of any musical background has kept me from publishing any of my works.

Many years later I got inspired by an interview with Thomas Fehlmann where he explained how the focus in his work is not on the result so much but on the process itself. How the process is a "source of expression" and something he just feels he has to do. This resonated with me and I realised that it's ok to be an autodidact in music and it's ok to make music just for the sake of making music. I make music for me and if you, dear listener, like it along the way I'm very happy about that.

I am inspired by nature, natural processes and the interaction we have with them. Organic asymmetric fractal patterns that are rooted in logic but unpredictable as they express. How a particular stormy night can affect the shape and growth of a plant for years to come.

I use Bitwig Studio to create my tracks.
