Hey everyone! I'm thrilled to share some exciting news: my new album, "Toroidal Protocols," is ready for release! It's been a long time coming, and I'm so pleased to be releasing it on a limited series CD run.

"Toroidal Protocols" is a collection of nine tracks that explore the spaces between slow-paced psychedelic velvety soundscapes and haunting rhythmic textures. Subtle acid accents weave throughout, creating a hypnotic and immersive listening experience. This album is a reflection of my creative journey, and I hope it resonates with you. Thank you for listening.

Status: Currently working on some tracks that were laying on the CF card of the MPC 2500, some old downtempo stuff that I'm revisiting, working on the mixing and a few mastering tests, sounding good so far. The reality is that I have tons of unreleased tracks, like 3 albums ready to go, I will find the moment to look on those too if time allows. 
Thanks for your support and being here listening to my tunes, I'm glad you guys are enjoying it.

[PUSH 2] and [Behringer CRAVE] have been added to the proof-of-concept rig in my living room. This is running on Ableton Live 12, as they give you a second license activation with the Suite. [Donner Essential B1] is my 3rd 303 Unit - this one I bought because of a real good phat 303 sound and 128 pattern capacity plus it comes with a very decent delay.  [Arturia Keystep PRO] has arrived in the e-lemental.Music Studio... it was the last new unit in Vancouver and came at a hefty price for a MIDI Controller but I recon with the amount of Gear accumulated here, especially the semi-modulars, the Keystep Pro will be very useful tool indeed. Pictured here with the Beatstep Pro, one Sync Cable between them offers me control of 5 Melodic Sequencers and 2 Drums, or 6 Melodic and 1 Drum. This setup got me on fire and the Roland TR-8S is the perfect drum machine companion to these. 

[Arturia MiniBrute 2S] and [DrumBrute Impact] is my favorite setup for harsher sonic territories such as Industrial and Hard Techno, but far from limited to that. Please check out  my Track named "MURKY MEMORIES" to hear these two in action. Linked with a Sync cable they act as two parts of One Unit and sonically complimentary to one another. The Patch Bay on the 2S is very useful and the sequencer is very powerful and the reason I bought this one instead of the keyboard version.

[Ambient Zero] and [Korg Wavestate MK2] linked with a MIDI cable is my latest favorite setup for AMBIENT/DRONE Music. This will likely be paired up with other Units and Ableton Live's Drone Lab Instrument, which comes in at 8.6GB.

[Behringer Triple Rack] is finally done, Neutron was my first semi-modular analogue synth, followed by the Proton when it came out, and the MS-20 clone K2 came a few weeks ago from Poland to complete the rack. That means STUDIO v3.0 Photo shoot is coming! Will be done once the Live Rig (below) and the Rack are hooked up.

NXT RECORDING -- LIVE with no playlist so completely spontaneous ALL selected from my Vinyl/Vinyl Sourced Collection of Quality Tracks mixed with ROLAND TR-8S Drum Machine Beast with its 128 excellent drum kits and 128 Patterns. This is to celebrate the TIGHT SYNC between the TR-8S and Traktor using MIDI Clock and moving one step closer towards completely LIVE UNSCRIPTED Mixes with the Drum Machine Wonder.... I will call these types of mixes FRESH and with adding live drum patterns it becomes a LIVE PA MIX. NXT Dated Lem Sessions at 120BPM is right between the couch and the dancefloor. a mix of styles that sound good at that tempo.

The ReDSCAPe vinyls have arrived - gorgeous red and black (4). The Ilian Tape Vinyl is here too. Latest (echospace) Detroit Vinyls from CV313 have arrived, blue vinyl pictured is SAILINGSTARS and is absolutely sublime. The cherry vinyl is in my repost section if you want to check it out, it's CV313 plays Mike Huckaby. They will both be featured on the next Sessions. 

2025 will mark the first Track Releases (not just DJ mixes) on e-lemental.Music label. Look for a First Single, then First EP leading to First Album. I am open to other Artists joining the label at some point, but not until those three things are realized.

The numbered DJ Mixes, my ultra-prepped, concept-based Mixes that I have been doing since Traktor 1.0 came out in the early 2000s. The lined-up mixes for this year are (numbers subject to change):
#50 - Platipus Records -- A Progressive Dream
#51-53 - Berlin's Triple Threat -- Basic Channel / Chain Reaction / Rhythm & Sound
#54 - Twisted FaeryTales IV - Title to be determined - downtempo/ambient
#55 - Taken, Too - based on Jeff Mills' Something in the Sky UFO Label releases - a proper sequel to a live Mix 'Taken' that is posted here
#56 - Studio 1 Releases contrasted with modern Minimalism - TRIPLE DECK MIX

*** I am DJ LEM and this is the Home of e-lemental.Music releases, a Music Label based in Richmond, BC, Canada and is releasing [DJ] Mixes, Singles, EPs, Albums and Live PAs as well as Videos and VJing -- the VJ Projector is now in the Studio. Please see Label Website for more and Mixcloud for archived mixes.

I love electronic music. I listen to underground, indie artists. There are so many diamonds in the rough. I just want to share them with the world.

Brillman has been an electronic online musician during the last 20 years using many different names: Brillman, Controlfreak, freakcontrol, Red Karma, Atmosphere, Zero Loop, Pan64, Randomcontrol, geometric delay and Superfreak! Brillman mainly creates original sounds from hardware synths but also uses guitar, samplers, vocals or even poetry. He primarily utilizes a 4 to the floor approach. The aesthetics behind the music is about finding a balance between minimalism vs. depth & improvisation vs. programmed.

Hello my dear friends. I seek and love music that gives me goosebumps.  I 'm looking for it through experiments with rhythms, sounds and harmony.  So far I haven't succeeded yet.  Music is my life. I’m Fred, 70 years, born in Diest, Belgium on August 8, 1954.  I am grateful for all the given likes and comments, for all the listeners and followers here on SC or on all the other streaming services where my music is publiced. I’m also grateful to all these artists and musicians who put their beautiful music on SC.  Thanks everyone.  Keep it healthy.  Take care of each other and sow peace!

From Wikipedia: In Greek mythology, a satyr, sater (UK /ˈsætə/, US /ˈseɪtər/;[1] Greek: σάτυρος satyros,[2] pronounced [sátyros]) is one of a troop of ithyphallic male companions of Dionysus with goat-like features and often permanent erection.[3] Early artistic representations sometimes include horse-like legs, but in 6th-century BC black-figure pottery human legs are the most common.[4] In Roman Mythology there is a concept similar to satyrs, with goat-like features: the faun, being half-man, half-goat, who roamed the woods and mountains.[5] In myths they are often associated with pipe-playing. Greek-speaking Romans often used the Greek term saturos when referring to the Latin faunus, and eventually syncretized the two. (The female "Satyresses" were a later invention of poets.)

### note on use ###

the data samples presented here are barely checked electro-acoustic recordings. 

the decoded passages, which we encourage you to study, show clear frequency anomalies, so that further analysis is necessary and desirable. 

however, as the exact implications are largely unexplored, use and analysis of the data is at your own risk and for your own enjoyment. thank you for your attention!

### hinweis zur verwendung ###

bei den hier vorgestellten daten handelt es sich um kaum geprüfte elektro-akustische aufnahmen. 

die dekodierten passagen, zu deren studium wir sie ermutigen, weisen eindeutig frequenz anomalien auf, so dass eine weitere analyse notwendig und wünschenswert ist. 

da die genauen zusammenhänge jedoch weitgehend unerforscht sind, erfolgt die verwendung und analyse der daten auf eigene gefahr und zum eigenen vergnügen.
wir danken für ihre aufmerksamkeit!

Hello! I’m a university professor of history who enjoys playing guitar and piano/keyboard, and occasionally composing — unpretentiously, just for fun.
Most of my recordings (made with a KorgD8, Audacity, and more recently Reaper for MIDI and the Spitfire Audio libraries) are entirely homemade and decidedly imperfect.
My music includes old songs (all written back in the last century; here I’ve only shared the ones I’ve reworked in recent years) as well as both old and new instrumentals — usually in several versions, some of which eventually disappear because they’re simply unlistenable.

Thanks for stopping by and giving something a listen; in the description you’ll often find explanatory notes or translations of the lyrics.
Here I’ve discovered a community of talented musicians and songwriters, and plenty of beautiful music to enjoy. Whenever I like, comment, or repost a track, it’s always the result of attentive listening. For the same reason, I’m not interested in trading empty “likes” without real engagement, and I won’t reply to messages from would-be promoters — follower counts don’t matter to me in the slightest.

By popular demand (well, actually just my daughter’s — she insists it’s the “cooler” platform), I’ve finally started putting some of my music on Spotify too...

Update (2024, September 9). Completed the "AI & (fake) songwriting project". Here: https://soundcloud.com/mick-hansan 

P.S.: A prayer, a humble request to those who publish songs: use the description area to make the lyrics available... This would make listening to them more complete and enjoyable!

I've posted some 'live' homemade performance here: https://www.instagram.com/michele_ansani/
