Hi Elektronauts!
I hope you’re all doing good. I have just recently uploaded to bandcamp my new EP I’ve called Rest - the genre is IDM and it’s my first real attempt at making a cohesive collection of tracks with a themed approach.
I wanted to post it here to hopefully encourage a few listeners but also because I am predominantly using Elektron gear in these tracks and they are at the core of my creativity when working on music. For this EP I made heavy use of the Machinedrum, Monomachine and Octatrack.
I welcome any constructive feedback that you may have. The general theme that I kept in mind while creating this EP was around moments of significant anxiety, grief and loss, and getting through those moments by allowing them to pass. I wanted there to be a sense of urgency in the music and I think overall this feeling comes across well in the track order, length and general sound.
I made a YouTube video (just a still image w/ audio) for one of the tracks titled Visceral that I’ll link here as well, to serve as a preview:
And here is the bandcamp:
It was intended to be a gapless EP and very much is when downloaded but I realise when streaming the bandcamp player will buffer each track. Oh well.
If you’re on bandcamp and like what you hear please do give me a follow! I’m keen to grow things a bit on there as I enjoy using the platform myself as a fan.
Thanks for listening! Love to all.
