240103 - Jamuary 3 - Space Opera - 2

Kind of a 12 bar dark shoegaze thing that came out of nowhere

Jamuary 2025 - Day 3 - Pitch Instability

Poor time management left me needing to just crank one out. A little slap bass, one of those weird "hollowed out" beats, and here we go.

Jamuary 2025 - Day 5 - Slinky

Back on my warble-y nonsense, haha. The sort of metallic open-and-close sound is another patch I put together from scratch with a couple of wavetables.

Jamuary 06 25 - Siren's Beat

Quick one before I travel. Cellos and violas, yadda yadda yadda

Jamuary 2025 - Day 6 - Reendtroducing

4th track for #jamuary2025, going half speed from the previous jams and into ambient music. A good bit of layering going on with some Roland Jupiter 8 (JP08), Korg M1, Solina string ensemble. Judicious use of delays and reverbs, texture experimentations.

I ended up doing two takes on this one, the first the recorder was armed, but forgot to get it rolling... Decades into this and I still forget sometimes.

Put together the bassline, then sort of stuggled to do anything with it. Eventually decided on doing it as a spoken word piece, which I like much more than I thought I would.

Jamuary 07 25 - Hell

#jamuary2025 Day 8 makes good on teh promise of more melodic elements with some arps weaving in and out of each other.

Day 8

I'm just here for fun, not money or fame!

(Headphones suggested for full enjoyment!)

Strictly hammer kicks.
Industrial techno. 
No surrender

Strongly influenced by the fruits of the downtempo Bristol sound of the early nineties, Endless Blue's music spins the trip-hop style in a new direction while staying true to their roots. They infuse trip-hop's "signature" lo-fi beats, vintage synths, and jazzy bass with guitar and songwriting that leans toward the indie-rock vibe of their original home of Minneapolis, Minnesota. Sprinkled into th...ese grooves are eclectic snippets of other genres, from synth-pop to industrial to loungecore to staright-up rock. Finally, bringing it all together is a female voice that is a blend of numerous eras, from the torch singers of the '40s to the classic female rockers to the modern trip-hop singers.

Dirty beats, trashy keys, sultry vocals -- this is Endless Blue.

Canadian Polyglot and polymath living in North Carolina, Francois is Head of Dion Research by day, & artist, maker of instruments & effects, musician, photographer & sound engineer by night.

His interest in music started at a very young age when he studied classical piano and electronics, both of these things would be quite influential on his future work.

He started composing electronic music as a kid in the early 80s and experimenting with sampling on an Apple //e, and would later use the Amiga, Apple IIgs and on the PC, the Gravis Ultrasound wavetable soundcard, and would publish soundbanks for it. Today, most of his music is done without computers, on modular synths and effects built by him, along with some commercial synths and effects.

From 1988 to 1997, he hosted a show on electronic music from its beginning in the early 20th century all the way to modern electronica, and the history of it and the technology that enabled it. He also did a stint at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and Videoway / Videotron in Montreal.

In parallel with that, he would continue releasing music through various media, including digital media before MP3 files (through MP2 and ADPCM WAV files on Hyperreal, IUMA etc). In those 30 years to now, he has produced an average of ~1 album (EP or full) a year
