Lyrics
Wolves and sheep
Cruel dance in the darkness of night
A new round up, but where is the fight

They glamour the sheep
All baffled by the masters’ strength and their icy speech
Sheep need to belong
Get along
Wolves and sheep

Wolves herding sheep
Unspoken hostilities shining through, from behind the masquerade
Some cannot keep up

Wolves feed off the weak
Submitting to such masters was not the best idea
There will be slaughter of sheep

Wolves and sheep

Counting the sheep
They howl with the wolves to fit in
Lost their intuition somehow

Expelled or asleep
Or they feel exalted for not being the slaughtered one
Most need to belong
Get along
Wolves and sheep

Wolves and sheep

Wolves and sheep

Recorded in one take, minimal processing just a little bit of mixing and compression added in Ableton.

One sequence from Metropolix split to 2 voices - Bastl Pizza (main out and osc out through different envelopes, effects and vca/lpg) and Mutable Beads in Wavetable mode playing the bass. Drums and percussion from the Volca Sample.

First visit after reassembling the studio and eurorack case. New Plaits FM mode and Benjolin mostly, live to 2-track.

With Mutable Instruments halting production in December 2022, I decided to write a playful track devoted to Clouds. Clouds is loved by many, and is overlooked by others still. 

This is a live performance recorded in October 2022. The track was first debuted at the Brooklyn Synth Expo on October 8th, as part of New York Modular Society's weekend showcase. I workshopped the track while live streaming on Earth Modular Society.

Headphones a must

I love to create new sounds with Synthesizer & other akkustic Instruments by follow my feelings - I also love to sing in any way - even Extra-Terrestrial - cause my home is the Universe & beyond.

Dorian is a home-recording songwriter, singer, guitar-, bass-, percussion- and synth player. He's Inspired by 80s synth pop, new wave/gothic, 70s (kraut)rock and cheesy outdated music.
Dorian’s only gig ever was at a closed playground in 2009, where a shady, intergalactic convention of evil overlords took place (true story; obviously they were not quite right in the head). After the gathering, Dorian decided his true calling was to remain a cozy stay-at-home rock star.
