A take on Steve Reich's phase music where (almost) the same phrase is repeated at 8 different speeds. The subtle difference between the tempos creates a plethora of rhythmic complexity that self organizes after all the phases align again. This recording contains two of such phase alignments and was recorded using VCV Rack and Audacity. The patch is available for download here  https://patchstorage.com/phase-to-phase/

phase to phase

Air tastes like iron and rain
Concrete breathes under the strobe
Shadows weld to the kick
Heat climbs the spine, slow

Floor shakes, names fall off our skin
Sparks bloom in the fog
Glass sweat drips from the ceiling
Every beat is a command

Rust sings along the rails
Hands up for balance, not prayer
Time splits, reforms, keeps moving
Voltage threads through bone

Grain, glare, gravity, surge
Sirens fold into one tone
We lean into the engine
Noise crowns the room

Iron heartbeat over red steam
Bodies blur to a single line
We burn in perfect symmetry
We disappear inside the charge

The forge exhales
Ash settles like snow
Only the hum remains
Moving through us, without us

Beat is a command (Peak Techno reload)

City lights are humming softly through the glass,
Snowfall drifts in patterns only moments pass,
Warm and amber flickers glow across the room,
Every quiet heartbeat shaping winter’s bloom.

’Cause it’s beginning to stream a lot like Christmas,

Your favourite vinyl spinning, brass and choirs rise,
Shadows dance on mantlepieces, open skies,
Old familiar warmth returns in gentle waves,
Every laugh a compass through the nights we crave.

’Cause it’s beginning to stream a lot like Christmas,
Every note and memory finds its witness,
Echoes in the firelight, calm and bright,
Streaming hopes and wonders through this quiet night.

Close your eyes, the strings and bells align in flight,
Carried on a whisper through the satellite,
Golden tones of kindness drifting in release,
Let this winter evening fold us into peace.

Yes, it’s beginning to stream a lot like Christmas,

Outside rooftops shimmer in a ridge of white,
Every passing stranger softened by the light,
Streaming quiet moments in a gentle gleam,
Fragments of forgiveness in a shared daydream.

Yes, it’s beginning to stream a lot like Christmas,
Choirs bloom, the hearth resumes its brightness,
Hold me in the hush we carve from winter’s night,
Streaming love and tender grace in silver light.

Let the brass band wander, let the soft winds ring,
In this fleeting season hear the warmth we bring,
And as the year is closing, in your eyes I see
The quiet stream of love that carries you to

It’s beginning to stream a lot like Christmas

The entire sound is in my hands. I write cyber poetry, produce, and compose every track ready for Immersive 3D. Every beat is crafted for spatial and next-gen headphones.
Intimate lyrics, total immersion, every track.

For 30 years I kept unfinished demos to myself, never letting them out. Now I finish what I start and release it the moment it’s alive.

I use every tool available, human or machine, as an instrument.
Technology doesn’t replace creativity. It expands it.
