Polarity Music
Music hub
This is the main place for everything I release outside the tutorial backlog: Bandcamp releases, music-only YouTube uploads, and finished tracks that live on the site. If you want to support the work directly, Bandcamp is the best place to start and Patreon is right behind it.
Bandcamp is the most direct way to support new releases. Patreon is where I put extra projects, files, and behind-the-scenes material. The music-only YouTube channel is the easiest way to follow new uploads.

Polarity's The Storm is a four-track Drum'n'Bass EP recorded in a week, using a concept-driven approach for cohesive, cinematic club-ready energy.
In this patch I created a slow-moving ambient soundscape for sleeping, built around a looping chord progression that unfolds very gently over time.
I've put together three new tracks for this EP that lean towards dark wave, cyberpunk, or dystopian vibes. It's a bit darker, the harmonies aren't as minor anymore, and I've thrown in some vocals here and there too. I think it's a fresh, varied vibe for me and what I'm releasing on Bandcamp. I've got more ideas and drafts saved on my hard drive, but I wanted to test the waters first to see if people vibe with it, if they like it, and how it’s received and all that. Maybe I'll drop more stuff in this direction later. These are just the initial ideas, and I'm really into them.
In this Bitwig Grid patch, I tried to create the feeling of drifting somewhere between galaxies.

I haven't released any tracks here on Bandcamp in a long time, and that's about to change today. I've got four new tracks for you, all Drum'n'Bass, and they're all pretty groovy, funky, and minimal. The spark was definitely the Funk Phenomenon track with Auralbee, and I just got inspired to update three more tunes and throw them onto the album or EP. I hope you like it! Feel free to drop a comment here, maybe leave a review, or just keep on browsing. The Project Files are available on my Patreon page, if you're interested.
Here are 4 more tracks from my vault that finally made it to completion. You can hear me trying to bridge the gap between ambient and drum and bass without making it too chill. It's deep and groovy, which is probably how I like it best.
Two deeper yet punchy drum and bass tunes from Berlin, with enough uniqueness through vocals and hinted melodies. Rounded off with dubby chords and a growling bass. That's Berlin ghetto romance in black and white, with a soulful finish.
In 2065, scientists discovered a multi-dimensional concept that allowed them to access a new world beyond our universe. Excitement turned to horror when they realized that this new world was the true reality, and that everything they had known was merely a simulation.
In a dystopian future, humanity has been forced to leave Earth and settle on a distant planet. Life is harsh on this new world, and the people struggle to survive in a hostile environment. But despite the challenges, a new form of art and culture has emerged. This new sound, born from the experiences and emotions of the settlers, is a fusion of neurofunk, ambient, and dub. This is the sound of the future, and it's what keeps the settlers going.
In this distopian future, the skies are constantly gray and gloomy, as rain pounds the concrete streets of the sprawling metropolis. The city is controlled by a handful of corrupt corporations, who use their power and influence to exploit and oppress the masses.

Blade Runner City with lots of rain! This patch is obviously inspired by Blade Runner.
This time we’re heading to the beach. Waves are pretty easy, but getting that bubbly water sound just right isn’t so simple. On top of that there’s a seagull and some wind / a light breeze.
I tried using simple sequences based on probabilities or “chance” modules to create little melodies and chords. The melodies in the “pitches” modules play differently too, since I randomize the phase every 32 bars.
The patch sounds like you're sitting on a rooftop in a futuristic city, listening to the rain, the wind, the roar of engines, and some undefined banging and hammering.
So in this patch I tried to recreate animals or like a meadow vibe. Basically I’m building a little stream, a bunch of bees and birds, some distant car noises, and of course crickets chirping and stuff.
Gotta admit, I kinda lost control here. Some modules don’t really make sense, and in a few spots I’ve got no clue what’s going on.
