I have been on a long hiatus packing and moving, but today I spent a bit of time venting with some noise.  Thank you all for listening and the support.  I hope you all are well.
Cheers!

DEEP STATE RATS

The current music scene is great because of the places where music is made and the experiments that are repeated by each personality. For individual creators, it is much more valuable to have an environment where they can come into contact with a large number of personalities than to be spread.

I love geeky niche things.  I highly encourage conversations to exchange musical ideas, recording techniques, and describe the artistic process.  If you feel so inclined, I warmly extend an invitation to directly message me with your work.  I absolutely love your stories and commend your contributions and creativity.  Music is a universal conduit for our thoughts and expression, all we can do is feel it, respond to it, and push it forward.

Synthesizers are pretty cool

Sjonkel Rolfsen is a vinyl enthusiast and music collector from Trondheim in Norway. He has been welding records at local venues and events for two decades. Nowadays, he mostly enjoys to fiddle around with experimental and ambient in the comfort of his humble abode, but still get the odd epiphany to wonder out into the enchanting world of house and techno. When he is not fumbling about on the decks, he likes to travel. He tries to play with the possibility of combining electronica and leftfield soundscapes, in a mixcast friendly way, catering to your everyday soundtrack needs.

I'm an avant-garde musician. I like to experiment with software, instruments, and everyday objects when creating on a song.

Music is my latest artistic passion; aside from being deeply invested in making music, I create digital art, drawings, paintings, mixed-media pieces, photography, photomanipulations, poetry, and short stories. All of which can be found on my DeviantArt: Leehon.

Thank you for reading and listening.

Zylinderkopf - aka Steven Wilson-Beales - released his debut album ‘Are You There?’ in 2023. In response to the covid crisis, it presented a variety of musical styles mixed together in an effort to  escape our collective trauma - blues-driven electronica, colourful pop ballads, basic four-to-the-floor wholesome techno goodness.  

Zylinderkopf’s influences are varied - from the electronic experiments of Holger Hiller to the psychedelic richness of Hawkwind or Fever Ray. ‘The point of Zylinderkopf is that there are no boundaries’ says Steve, wistfully gazing at his copy of Baudelaire’s Fleurs du Mal.


For his second album ‘Body:Soul’ released in 2025, Steve has worked with London-based artist/producer Third Son to put the finishing touches to his album. This time, Zylinderkopf takes aim at the futility of politics and the commodification of love. “I think a love song is the pinnacle of all good songwriting - it’s just that, when I write them, they come out as these weird dark electronic things.’ 

Zylinderkopf’s third album ‘A Quiet Prayer In a Time of War’ is due to be released in early 2026. This time, there’s no singing, just a collection of musical landscapes moving between Drum and Bass, Electronica and 80s synth pop. ‘Imagine Jean Michel Jarre going out on a big night with Daft Punk and Chris De Burgh - that’s basically what you’re getting.’

Hello, SoundCloud crew. I create all my music from the ground up. ZERO A.I. (Except for the tracks Jamaica and Castlevania versions, which, I altered the original notes from pre made template.)  I am an experimentalist with tones of synthwave and ambient thrown in to the mix. I hope you can enjoy some of my tracks.  

I use FL Studio most of the time.
