Without You

After recording a few tracks of ice dropping in a glass I proceeded to reverberate it, slow it down, reverse it, and run it through a vocoder... all of this over a couple of tracks that start out cold and mechanical and end up warm and boozy.

Cheats & Codes iii

Rylee (@aalanzaa) is a brilliant mathematician, teacher, speaker, developer, musician, and facilitator of community. She’s a moderator at lines, a constant and encouraging presence in the norns discord, and in the last weeks of December last year she released an incredible collection of hyperpop and electronica songs as Alanza called 'Learning to Run'.

An episode with Rylee has long been on my wishlist — like, since 2018. In every track she shared as part of the Disquiet (@disquiet) Junto that year, Rylee always uncovered the most hypnotic and miraculous timbres — and her virtuosity as a synthesist has only become more evident in the years since.

In this episode, Rylee shares insights into her pursuits as a mathematician, her strategies for synthesizer orchestration inside and out of a pop music context, and some background into the production of 'Learning to Run'.

Rylee approached our conversation with so much generosity and openness of heart — I'm very thankful we finally got to make this happen.

All featured tracks are from 'Learning to Run' (https://alanza.bandcamp.com/album/learning-to-run):
- Breaking Philip
- Your Way Through Mine
- It's Not Him
- Me
- They Gave You Bones
- Nowhere

- Push It Through
