Beautiful guitar tones, Loya! 😊 ... Reminds me that I really need to find some more lead guitar patches.

What's That Funky Smell?

My album draws inspiration from Tonalism, an art movement known for its tranquil and ethereal landscapes. Through ambient and chill beats, I paint sonic vistas of serene melodies, subtle harmonies, and gentle rhythms. Like Tonalist painters, I seek to evoke a sense of calm and introspection in listeners, transporting them to a dreamy world of tranquility. Each track mirrors the movement's soft brushstrokes, creating a harmonious journey that reflects the essence of Tonalism's meditative beauty. Embrace the soothing ambiance and immerse yourself in the canvas of sound I've woven.

てのひらの
器の中に
火を点す
市民薄明
夜　はやく来い
影の子ら
ねぐらに帰れ
鐘も鳴れ

Light a fire in a palm bowl.
Civil twilight.
Night, come quickly.
Children of the shadows, return to your roosts.
Bells, ring more.

Vocals: Vocaloid Yukari
Field recording: Recorded at a certain location in Tokyo. 
The evening chimes ring, urging children to return home.
Children playing in the park shout, "I don't want to go home yet! I still want to play!".

The feeling of loneliness, a yearning to be touched, loved and understood are part of the human condition. During times of insecurity, depression, and upheaval, we look to be close to those we love,and the memories and places that comfort us with positive feelings and happy times.

Hollow Transmission

Fairies have always belonged to the threshold—between seen and unseen, matter and mystery.
In the oldest Celtic and Norse traditions, they were not the delicate sprites of bedtime tales, but radiant, otherworldly beings: the Sídhe, the Álfar—powerful presences tied to sacred mounds, hidden groves, and the thin veil between worlds. They were not small, nor harmless, but liminal—both beautiful and dangerous, a reminder that reality is deeper than appearances.

Over centuries, their image transformed. Medieval storytellers softened them into tricksters and helpers. The Renaissance gave them stage-light in Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Victorian artists, chasing wonder, shrank them into delicate, winged companions of flowers and dreams. What was once a cosmic threshold became a glittering symbol of imagination.

This album lives in both worlds.
Synthetic Fairy fuses the raw soul of blues and progressive rock with the shimmer of synths, vocoder, and progressive house. Each track is an echo of that transformation: from the deep, mysterious resonance of the old fairy to the sparkling, electric shimmer of the modern one.

These six instrumental journeys are not bound by words, but by presence—fairies reborn in circuitry, wings made of oscillation, voices carried on vocoder wind, and flight sustained by house rhythms.

Step into the threshold.
Let the ancient and the synthetic dance together.
The fairy lives again—shaped not of wood or wing, but of sound.

Synthetic Fairy is a six-track instrumental journey where myth meets machine. Rooted in blues and progressive rock, infused with shimmering synths, vocoder winds, and progressive house rhythms, the album reimagines the fairy’s evolution—from the powerful, mysterious beings of ancient folklore to the delicate, winged sprites of modern imagination. Each track becomes a threshold, where the ancient and the synthetic dance together in sound.

Thank you  for visiting my world, I'm happy to share! 
I 've been composing electronic music for more than 23 years but only started this new project 3 years ago, when the band in which I played bass splited.

 A large amount of the music I love was recorded in the 70's. Among these revered groups , Yes, Genesis, Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull, Ange or King Crimson stand out. Over the years, I've also been very fond of many diverse bands and songwriters (The Doors; The Beatles; Bowie; Neil Young; Deep Purple; Led Zep; Patti Smith; U2; The Police; Massive Attack; Chemical Brothers; Killing Joke; Marillion; Morphine; Nirvana; The Young Gods; Dominique A; Noir Désir, Conil, Aurora ...). 
More related to my own synth music production, one could find influences from Vangelis, Jarre, Björk, Oldfield, Numan, Kraftwerk, Schultze and other pioneers. Finally, I should mention the great soundtrack composers such as Ennio Morricone, Wendy Carlos or Hans Zimmer.
Above all those great musicians stands the beloved statue of Ludwig van Beethoven, the visionary, the prodigy, the most sensitive man.

My desire is to be a tiny part of the admirable family of human composers and musicians in order to explore the infinity of musical combinations that our mind offers... To achieve this goal, I will continue to mix my own set of diverse influences in my own imperfect human way, without surrendering to any type of AI composer. My approach questions the astonishing way in which skills, sensitivity, aesthetic and personal history provide the fuel and oxygen for our creativity, while chance, curiosity and current feelings provide the spark. What matters the most is the process, not the result, the “product”.
My pieces will always reflect the result of hundreds of micro-choices I made, consciously or unconsciously, that's what makes it fun, right?
Feel free to comment or criticize my plethoric prod because reading your feedbacks is the only reward I expect.
