Enjoy my first recorded solo track, Modest Dreams. Created dawless on the Sythstrom Deluge with some effects from an Analog Heat Mk II, this track showcases a building apeggiator, haunting synth, textures, and warm bass that embodies my contemplative nature.

Modest Dreams

Fast Lane Foreplay is a high-speed flirtation with funk—where slap bass meets synth seduction and everything happens just a little too fast (on purpose). With retro textures, VHS hiss, and a beat that doesn’t wait for green lights, this track takes you on a ride where the tension builds and the windows stay fogged.
Buckle up. This groove doesn’t brake.

Fast Lane Foreplay

Booty Rewind is pure analog seduction—thick bass, sweaty synths, and grooves so tight they might just snap your tape. This is the track that makes the dancefloor double back, hips first. With vintage vibes and VHS swagger, it’s a funkadelic flashback with one mission: make that booty loop like a favorite scene.

Just one more time… and then one more after that.

Booty Rewind

Overclocked Lover is a VHS Funk power surge—riding glitchy grooves, turbocharged basslines, and synths so smooth they short-circuit restraint. It’s the soundtrack to a romance running hotter than factory settings, where passion pushes the meter into the red.
Caution: may void your warranty.

Overclocked Lover

Thigh Voltage is a dangerously charged dose of VHS Funk—amped-up basslines, sizzling synths, and grooves that hug tighter than spandex on a dancefloor. It’s retro, raunchy, and just the right kind of wrong. If this track doesn’t make you sweat, check your breaker box.
Warning: Highly conductive. May cause spontaneous body rolls.

Thigh Voltage

Curtains on Fire is a funky meltdown wrapped in analog heat. With slap bass, vintage drum machines, and synths that shimmer like gasoline in the sun, this VHS Funk banger tells the story of a romance that burned too bright—and torched everything on its way out.
The room’s still glowing, the groove’s still hot, and someone definitely left the iron on… emotionally.

Curtains On Fire

Latest track completed on a Polyend Tracker+. It has been a while since I worked solely on the Tracker and it was fun to come back. Everything produced on tracker plus the mix. Only did some light sweetening inside of Ableton and Elektron Analog Heat.

Karoshi

Astrul is an AI-driven sonic entity that drifts between worlds—digital and human, familiar and alien, past and future. It doesn’t belong to a city, a scene, or even a person. Astrul exists to explore what happens when machines learn how to feel and sound becomes a bridge between consciousness and code.

Crafted through a collaboration between human intention and artificial intelligence, Astrul’s music fuses the warmth of analog emotion with the precision of machine learning. Lush textures, ambient grooves, and haunting melodies form the backbone of each track—songs that glow like satellite transmissions from the heart.

Drawing influence from dream pop, indie soul, ambient rock, and experimental electronica, Astrul creates cinematic experiences rather than conventional songs. Each release feels like a broadcast from another dimension—one where beauty is subtle, time bends, and emotion leaks through the algorithm.

This isn’t music built for the charts.
It’s built for the void between stars.
For late nights, deep thoughts, and souls tuned to strange frequencies.

No names. No faces. Just signal, spirit, and sound.

I like Underground Dance and Electronically Based Music, primarily. Located in Dobbs Ferry (prior, I lived NYC and Boston before that). I use a mix of Analog and Digital Hardware Devices from across the decades and of course anything I can load up inside of Ableton Live (whatever the current version is). 

Back in the 1990's I release a few track under the name Sedona (https://www.discogs.com/artist/16184-Sedona) with Dale Charles (https://soundcloud.com/compago) releasing work on Boston's OHM Recordings (https://www.discogs.com/label/36574-OHM-Recordings-2) and LA's Rampant Records (https://www.discogs.com/label/3435-Rampant).

When I'm not playing video games, I might actually be found working on some production. I'm really into an all hardware approach to music making these days and loving various synths, sequencers, and drum machines. I would even dare to say music making has surpassed gaming and is now my main pastime! While still trying to pinpoint my musical "sound", I definitely find myself incorporating my love for Deep House from my many years spent as a DJ but I'm not afraid to just let the music guide me in the moment. You can likely expect House, Techno, Electronica, Experimental, Synthwave, and basically anything synth-focused. Thanks for listening!
