Fidus Achates - Spectre Hem

A moody down-tempo track with some nice breaks in the rhythm.

Pilots

Scott Starr is a poet, multi-instrumentalist, producer, and sonic craftsman based in the woods of Wisconsin. After touring with acts like The Flaming Lips and MGMT with Fever Marlene — and a short stint guitar teching for Jakob Dylan of The Wallflowers — Starr eventually stepped away from the noise to build a recording studio in the wooded acreage of his home just north of Milwaukee: a floating-room sanctuary tucked deep in the trees.

The music that emerged feels like it was captured on film stock rather than tape — nostalgic, gritty, cinematic. Somewhere between playing darts with Quentin Tarantino in a smoky bar of Sunset Boulevard and waking up to reel-to-reel machines humming in a cedar cabin.

As Scott Starr, he channels the urgency and ache of modern life through raw, analog-fueled melodies. As Spectre Hem, he sculpts sweeping, wordless compositions that feel like forgotten soundtracks to films that never got made. His debut release fuses these worlds into something cohesive, magnetic, and undeniably human.

Emerging from the ghostlight of genre and memory, Scott Starr—releases “Super Fiction”, a track that feels like an up tempo dream both remembered and rewritten. Starr weaves layered vocals, analog textures, and cinematic chord shifts into a haunting meditation on identity, nostalgia, and the blurred line between what's real and what's left to forget.

Written, performed, recorded, fully produced and mastered by Starr in his newly built studio shed in the woods just north of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Super Fiction opens the album like the first crack in a parallel reality. Warped synths stretch across heavy backdrops of ghostly melodic instrumental harmonies and glitched rhythms, grounding the surrealism in something deeply human. Every sound feels placed with intention—and left slightly undone, like a memory you’re trying to piece together.

This debut single sets a driving tone for what’s to come: an album steeped in storytelling, perspective, sonic world-building, and a quiet ache that lingers long after the final note.

Spectre Hem weaves a sonic quilt that beckons listeners into otherworldly realms. Inspired by the ornate harmonies of Baroque music and the cinematic storytelling of film scores, the compositions evoke nostalgia, immersion, and at times, a haunting beauty.
