"Interim [from The Changeling EP]" - (T = N/A) (CAMELOT 12B)

Trapped (You Need Love)

"Trapped (You Need Love)" [from The Changeling EP] - (T = 136 BPM) (CAMELOT = 7A)

This track fuses dark electronic textures from Stranger Things with hard-hitting trap beats to create a moody, cinematic sound. The production process was packed with detail, layering deep 808s, crisp hi-hats, and atmospheric synths to build tension and space. From subtle reverb tails and filtered delays to modulation effects that give the mix a living, evolving quality. The balance between the heavy low-end and the shimmering top layers took a lot of fine-tuning, making sure each element sit perfectly in the mix. The end result is a piece that feels both intimate and expansive, blending emotion, mystery, and the unmistakable pull of the unknown.

the PERSON, the SOUND : Since 1985, Philadelphia-born Michael has composed and released hundreds of audio recordings, and published dozens of [erotic] poems.

His 'sonic-sojourn' began suddenly when he was just a teen -- feet splashing rhythmically through puddles leftover by a seaside rainstorm. Having just parted ways with the then-love-of-his-life, Michael composed his first ballad [and first song] ever -- "Tina." He rushed to his beach-side home to record his visceral 'awakening' on a tiny micro-cassette recorder, and vowed -- from that day on -- to create art for the rest of his life.

He began zealously amassing used music equipment, and had built a modest home recording studio by age seventeen, all the while crafting simple pop, ambient, and experimental works that HE had wanted to listen to -- that HE had wanted to hear, affectionately emulating the works of his then-idols, Duran Duran and Brian Eno.

Now, decades later, he has relocated to a small village outside Atlanta, Georgia, and continues to voraciously attend to his dream as a young, heartbroken boy -- to create and release music that he, himself, wants to hear.

Although no longer sequestered to pop and ambient musics, Michael's signature sound has merged the two, having integrated the R&B, hiphop, and psychedelia he has grown to love as a older gent -- having absorbed the edgy rhythms and dreamy soul of the southern United States (Atlanta and Miami).

Michael still puts forth ample amounts af ambient musics, but his recent 'sound' hovers elsewhere -- somewhere amidst the genres of vaportrap, spacerock, and trip-hop.

Swiss producer, songwriter K-WIS pursued a passion for music ever since the age of six when he received his first guitar. At thirteen he produced some of his very first tracks digitally, encompassing classical cinematic music, chill trap and lofi beats. Since then he has produced several popular remixes on YouTube.

Among his idols for producing music is Avicii from which he took some inspiration to collaborate with artists on tracks. His production style follows various moods from upbeat, aggressive to gloomy and sad, taking some inspiration from the producers of the likes of Travis Scott. His recent remixes dabble in the anime genre with a unique electronic sound that combines orchestral and synthesised instruments together.

Currently, K-WIS is working on several new albums and remixes together with rappers and singers. Stay tuned to hear more of his tracks!
