New single + finally some innovation in a keyboard instrument!

Just dropped a new single and I've been surprised by the positive response, I guess it's quite different from what I've been releasing the last few years! "Cloud Collapse" is available to download View Post

SONIC BOOM is here!

Welcome to our new show, Sonic Boom. Every other Saturday, Rob and I will be doing something musical, probably challenging, and almost definitely ridiculous. Hope you enjoy. 😊

(And watch to the end to see who we got to be our house band!!)

Spacetime BTS and the return of Weird Gear!

Very pleased to show the Soma Pulsar-23 in a custom Andrew Huang edition! In this case, custom means I chose the colors and the knobs, and contributed to the design of an exclusive hat that comes with the unit, but otherwise it's the same weird drum machine. :) 2023-03-26 13:42:49 +0000 UTC View Post

Patreon exclusive track "Slow Effect"

Someone just let me know they couldn't find the Dust & Dewdrops b-side I had talked about before and I think I may have forgotten to post it! Here it is, a chill little beat with a super weird melody that I still dig but didn't feel right for the album. Enjoy!

Just collecting a few production ideas I've been using recently that I don't see many or any people talking about! Hope you dig.

Bonus: Quick exploration of a crowd-sourced melodic idea

Here's 1.5 minutes I cut from the "5 ways to start a song" video because it was getting long. This is another chunk of Twitter-generated melody that I developed and set to different chords, if you're interested in seeing another example of that process. Enjoy!
