New Tracks for a New Year
As this year draws to a close, the good doktor has something special for you! 3 brand new tracks have been uploaded to the music valut and podcast’d for your enjoyment. So enjoy them!
These tracks were written around the same time (circa September), and has me working in very ambient vein. They are definitely an evolution from my previous efforts both in musicality and is a result of me playing more synth parts. In fact all three of these tracks are driven by their synth parts, with the beats (when they even make an appearance) take a back seat to the more forward melodies I composed. I’m also using more VSTs in my work, and pushing myself to go even deeper in Ableton than ever before.
Leave me some comments and let me know what you think of them.
2008 will see me taking my new live set, which debuted at Nophest this month, into my first ‘official’ album. I may even collect a few of my old and new tunes into another EP of some sort, as I have a few more tricks tracks up my sleeves that I’m waiting to do something with. And there should be more time and resources to grow this project too, which would also be pretty exciting.
Stay tuned!

planetary element
Its interesting how some sound palettes just impart that space age feel to the song. This is one of them. At the risk of sounding cliche, this track has the feeling of orbiting the earth at 20,000 miles per hour, but at the same time retains the same kind of awe inspiring wonder that floating above your home planet inspires - like many a synth melody driven track.
polar body
This track evokes a kind of reluctant nostalgia and earnest soul searching that only ambient music (both making and listening) can evoke. This is a beat-less piece, with a subtle shaped buzz-hum standing in as a baseline to the delicate piano melody that dominates this track.
metasystem
A synth-y ambient dream, combined with a subdued galloping beat - awash in multiple delays.
