PLUTO

A genre-bender: LA pop/dreampop + nineties house, finishing with a dash of wonky downtempo lo-fi.  :)

Messy

I think most of us are sick of seeing the 1% flying to climate conferences in their private jets, and telling us we need to recycle and re-use more. There's so much hypocrisy and misinformation being delivered by the oligarchs: this song is for them.

The Real Enemy

This track is about the nature of reality and retro-causal time loops: if all time exists as a single geometric object, then the future and the past co-create each other. It also references Dr Garrett Lisi's "theory of everything", which proposes our 3D reality is derived from an 8-dimensional mathematical construct called E8.

Time Loops

Never right

Elise Trouw - HTGWYW (Shaki YWWYG Remix)

This song is about climate change. In Australia we're regularly told that we have to keep selling coal because of all the jobs that will be lost if we stop. Reality check: is it worth building the empire if it's underwater?

The speech sample is David Wasdell, head of the Apollo-Gaia Project. You can listen to the entire episode at https://www.ecoshock.org - the episode with this sample is at https://www.ecoshock.net/downloads/ES.... There's lots of interesting stuff at ecoshock.org, I highly recommend it.

I'm putting together a Eurorack modular synth, and this is the first track I've created with it. I have a ton to learn about this stuff, but it's such an enjoyable journey.

Here's mostly what I used to make this track:
- XAOC Odessa: http://xaocdevices.com/main/odessa/
- Instruo Ts-L: https://www.instruomodular.com/produc...
- MakeNoise Morphagene: https://www.makenoisemusic.com/module...
- Expert Sleepers ES-9: https://www.expert-sleepers.co.uk/es9...
- Arturia KeyStep Pro: https://www.arturia.com/products/hybr...

Empire

This track just emerged from a video I made about the Odessa VCO for my geeky modular synth channel Mod*u*lar. I didn't intend to make it into a finished track but I really liked all the parts I'd made by the end of the video, so I merged it all together and this was the result.

Evening Star

A track about the Patriot Act 2.0, surveillance, PRISM and our Orwellian world. Partly inspired by the video game Cyberpunk 2077.

Downtempo / dream pop / trip-hop / psychedelic. Glitchy-metaphysical electronica, often with female vocals. 
 
The real ok boomer is Pete Carnac, co-founder of Nettwerk dream pop band Single Gun Theory.
 
“an ambient, swirling, sample laden delight…” [Electric Sound Of Joy, UK]
“really really nice, very spacious and lovely” [Spin This, Canada]
“a cool atmospheric ambience” [Closing Sounds, France]
“very smooth and mellow” [RKJ Music, Australia]
“the vibe is cool, the melodies are very smooth and lovely” [Black Raven, UK]
