Handpan minimalist - bad dream
Imagine yourself trapped in a bad dream, where you walk down a hallway towards a door, and you never make it!
The further you walk, the further away the door gets!

Imagine voce preso num sonho ruim, onde voce caminha num corredor em direção a uma porta, e nunca consegue chegar!
Quanto mais voce anda, mais longe a porta fica!

HANDPAN a bad dream

It's not for you, it's for me. Sometimes you just got to create for the sake of creating.

First thing I ever uploaded, I wouldn't call it hot garbage but not my favorite experiment. Two instruments were used for the whole arrangement.

March of The Vestige Farmer | Focal Points

"Sometimes, it might flash out at you."


Two versions of this track exist, will only post the one I liked better. Original version exist on my Youtube Channel.

Synthesist | Sound Designer | Audio Engineer

All fucked up for CC, if you want that you got that.

Just a place for me to create my abominations and reflect. The Sideline is my approach to art as a whole, I think it’s more fun that way. Consider Sideline a pen name, so to speak.

May change as I continue to create, but for now, this is what it is.

Mirna Grzich's statement about Grassmann

"Mauricio Grassmann is, first and foremost, a sound designer. A man of many instruments and many techniques, he plays, edits, produces, records, and if you need it, he even knows how to design the ideal acoustic space. A Da Vinci of music.
Beings of Light is his soul work, those things we do when we are alone, meditating, in the studio. Press play, let the sound play, breathe your music, let the vibration touch you. And you will see that suddenly a gap appears, and you are there, amazed, in that space of infinite possibilities, in contact with your being. Of Light.
bon voyage..."

Depoimento de Mirna Grzich sobre Grassmann

"Mauricio Grassmann é, antes de tudo, um designer sonoro. Homem de muitos instrumentos e muitas técnicas, ele toca, edita, produz, grava, e se você precisar, ele ainda sabe desenhar o espaço acústico ideal. Um Da Vinci da música.
Seres de Luz é seu trabalho de alma, aquelas coisas que a gente faz quando está sozinho, meditando, no estúdio. Aperte o play, deixe o som tocar, respire sua música, deixe a vibração tocar você. E verá que de repente um gap se faz, e você está lá, maravilhado, naquele espaço das infinitas possibilidades, em contato com seu ser. De Luz.
boa viagem..."

I'm a British-American Electronic musician by the name of Nathan who currently lives in the Pacific NW. ... Sometimes I take extended Social Media breaks for my sanity. Lol! 😅 ... So if I ever miss responding to a comment or returning a follow, it's only because it's hard catching up when I've been gone a month.

I play vintage synths which I've had for decades(because new ones are expensive. Lol!), but in the last couple of years I've been working much more with DAWs (which is awesome because my fingers don't work as well as they used to), with the occasional flourish from my aging synths.

I'm influenced by all varieties of electronic and electronic-adjacent music from 1960s/70s - 2020s, not to mention a bit of Prog and Metal, and Jazz Fusion. 

My focus tends to be on Trance, Ambient, Synthwave, EDM, Synthpop, EBM, Industrial, Darkwave, Futurepop, and the occasional hint of Jazz Fusion. (Sometimes all in the same track).

That's what happens when you're hooked by the Doctor Who Theme at a young age. ;-)  

I'm not always entirely sure which subgenres many my tracks are closest to, So I try to pick the broadest and most dominant one for the main tag. The first row of tags are the other ones I reckon they're closest to, and the rest are an assortment of other related tags, some closer than others. 

 
See link to follow me on YouTube as well.
