Hey I know that guy… he always tells me that I suck at producing
“We’ve been hard at work on ‘The Many’ compilation since June this year…”
I have a track to share here today. I have had this in my Spotify playlist for years from an ex-gf adding it back in the day and I never really listened to it, like REALLY LISTEN listened to it until yesterday. This track is so well made, IMO. There is so much going on with the synths, samples, and the (what I think may be, but could be mistaking it for this when it may in fact be another Far East originating instrument) Koto making the main strings sounds, and I really like this track a lot. It is very well put together and very sonically interesting. Check it out, give your ears a workout trying to identify all the sounds and effects that make up this track to be what it is.

Edit: Maybe a Mandolin is the instrument I am thinking of, but whatever it is, it fits so well with this track.
Not sure what the instrument is, but it’s not a mandolin. Great track!

They think it’s a Koto.

“… ITSU (aka Moscow-based Artyom Markaryan) isn’t new to the experimental electronic scene. Having had a previous release on DetUnd and a handful of others, his distinctive use of analog synthesizers, eroded textures and subtle clicks’n cuts allows HAR1 — somehow tied to molecular biology, indeed— to enrapture the listener.”
I love that style (absolute ear candy)
I just saw this earlier in the evening and wanted to throw it out to share in this thread here. I love how this guy incorporates heavy (what I associate with) like early 2000’s Euro EDM unison leads, mixed with a good helping of trap style beats, and then adds the Persian Sitar to make this wonderful sounding beat altogether. I would never think of those things going together, and yet they sound so perfect working in tandem.
Asadi plays with NI’s Maschine+
This is a collaboration with @robertsyrett we did a while back. I haven’t heard from Robert in ages and I thought we did a pretty good job on this so I thought I’d post it even though I don’t have Robert’s input on the final mix.
That “Asadi Plays: Maschine+” got me inspired this morning…
“The second release on the Expert Sleepers label, ‘Diaries’ presents ten pieces created with a modular synthesizer but not with a typical modular synthesizer sound - instead of bleeps and bloops, here you will find pianos and orchestral sounds, perfectly in keeping with the minimalist compositional style.”
