One of the most notorious aspects of the development of neo-liberalism has been the huge growth in the gig economy. With venture capital having a big stake in it, Deliveroo was one of the pioneers in slashing workers’ rights and their terms and conditions of work. The use of workers with bogus self employed status has become a significant feature of how capitalism exploits workers in the 21st century.

"When The Unit burst into the room they were greeted with flickering lights- in patterns only understood by its creator. Hard-drives lay scattered along the floor. Surrounded by cables was a screen; the Hacker had left them a message. Within a pixelated smiley face was a single word: Enigma." 

Delve deep into a world of intrigue, where neon cuts through darkened streets, wi-fi is your best friend, and one and zero's may very well decide your fate. Enigma is a 400 patches strong library that effortlessly weaves a path through your next globe-hopping political drama, clandestine suspense thriller or cyberpunk dystopia. Definitively modern, Enigma eschews the normal conventions of under-scoring for something truly unique and electronic. 

Pulsing arps will propel you through a web of shadowy pads, while gripping electro-percussion and dark hits keep tabs on the time. Muscular bass will under-pin your compositions, while defiant synths and tense keys sizzle with inexplicable electricity. Exhilarating transition effects peal back the layers to reveal brooding darkweb soundscapes. Combined, these elements weave a digital tail unhindered by normal conventions. 


Enigma pays homage to the works of Mac Quayle (Mr. Robot, Ratchet), Cliff Martinez (Neon Demon, Only God Forgives), Marc Canham (I care a lot) and artists in the vein of Robot Koch and Oneohtrix Point Never.


Hard-coded into every patch are modwheel and velocity assignments for fuller expression - and when applicable, aftertouch. Each patch leaves a few decibels of headroom. Included is a PDF installation guide for ease of use. 

Unplug from the usual, and plug into a world saturated in source code and fiber-optic light. Just make sure to wipe your hard-drives afterward :)
