Disenchanted #

Jun 29, 2024 Release
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. All tracks also have a slight dystopian vibe. "Disenchantment" even adds an oriental touch with the double harmonic scale. Feel free to drop me a little review if you're up for it. In the heart of a sprawling, neon-lit metropolis, where the skyline is dominated by monolithic skyscrapers and holographic advertisements flicker against a backdrop of perpetual twilight, a tale of four intertwined souls unfolds. This is a city where the boundaries between reality and illusion blur, and the promise of a utopian future masks a grim dystopian present.

Driving Structures #

Apr 06, 2024 Release
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.

This Track is gone forever - Analog is better than Digital #

Mar 09, 2024 Music-Video
I was a bit bored today and thought I'd record a few sequences while playing on my synths. Nothing special, just messing around. The bass comes from the @behringer Poly-D, arps from the @MoogSynthesizers M32, drums from the DFAM, and a drone and @modarttvideos Pianoteq from @bitwig

Structures - The Darkness of the Neighborhood #

Feb 27, 2024 Music-Video
Structures is one of the tracks I made for #FAWM 2024. It all came together within an hour. I took a bit more time for the mixdown. The recordings are from Berlin, Lichtenberg. I think the bleak apartment buildings and the industrial vibe really add something special to the track.

23 times PaulXStretch and nothing more #

Feb 24, 2024 Music-Video
In the video, I use the free plugin PaulXStretch 23 times. In each instance, I've recorded one note and a unique sound from the Korg Triton. Each instance also has a different recording length, different panning and stretches the sample differently. It's always great to see and hear how you can create soundscapes with such simple workflows.

Don't judge; I'm old Minimix 2024 #

Just snagged a new @DenonDJTV SC Live console. Used to spin real vinyl years ago, but ended up selling it all. Now, I'm diving back in, and honestly, it's a blast without the hassle of lugging around records and dealing with turntables. Been playing around with some mixes in the evenings. Decided to record a little DnB mix I'm into. Check it out and enjoy!

Multi Dimensional Concept #

Apr 02, 2023 Release
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.

The discovery sparked a global crisis, as people struggled to come to terms with the revelation that their lives were nothing more than a digital construct. The scientists continued to explore the true reality, searching for answers to the fundamental questions of existence. As humanity struggled to find its place in this new world, the only thing that was certain was that nothing would ever be the same again.

Basics #

Feb 08, 2023 Release
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.

This album is a collection of four tracks, each one a reflection of the struggles and triumphs of life on the new planet. It's a sonic journey through a world of darkness, but also of hope and resilience. This is the sound of the future, and it's what will keep humanity going for generations to come.

Ambient Future Beats 2 #

Dec 25, 2022 Release
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.

Despite the bleakness of their circumstances, the people cling to bits of hope and beauty wherever they can find them. They find solace in the small acts of kindness and compassion they share with one another, and in the rare moments when the clouds part and the sun shines down upon the city.

Above the crowded, polluted streets, there are rooftop gardens where people can escape the chaos and noise of the city. These oases of greenery offer a respite from the bleakness of the urban landscape, and provide a glimpse of the natural world that once was.

Although the future may seem bleak, there is still a glimmer of hope for those who dare to dream of a better world. Despite the challenges they face, the people refuse to give up, and continue to fight for a brighter tomorrow.

Ambient Future Beats #

Oct 30, 2022 Release
Between the skyscrapers of the modern city in a distant future. Where the fog of the ventilation systems settles on the window panes like glittering morning dew. Where the distant and loud blasts ring evenly to the beat of progress like a thundering summer storm. That's where we have settled, that's where we live. Life in the sense of waiting, with the deep longing and sadness for a redeemer.

Ambient Future Beats is the fusion of ambient, future and drum & bass. The feeling and the longing for a better future between skyscrapers and industrial buildings with a piece of nature. Who if not us holds and shows us the golden way to a better world. How do we want to live and what is our only sense of being.

Some deeper and more soulful drum and bass tunes. Lying around on my hard drive for some time, finally finished. Enjoy!

Pads, Melodies & Drums #

Jul 26, 2022 Release
This dark and rainy cityscape is the perfect backdrop for a future that is both melancholic and depressing. The city skylines are filled with ambient drones and noises, making it the perfect soundtrack for a rainy day. The city is hot and filled with bad air, but there is still hope.

Blade Runners & Space Warriors #

Jul 20, 2022 Release
No songs and no drones. Something in between. Music for the background and for that certain feeling. Somewhere between sci fi and an infinite cycle.

Zaxx / Kaleun #

Nov 04, 2020 Release
I have been producing less dancefloor suitable music lately, but two tunes came out anyway. Zaxx & Kaleun are a bit deeper and more restrained but still work well in a club context. The two tunes are completely produced in Bitwig and if you have a Patreon (10 bucks) membership you can download the projects there.

Normally known for Drum & Bass or Ambient, Polarity is trying his hand at his first House / Techno release. Generative melodies meet a dancefloor groove of smooth bass and a tight kickdrum.

Exploring Additive Synthesis: Creating Complex Sounds with Additive Wonder #

Aug 05, 2019 Tutorial
In this video, I want to give a big thank you to all my Patreon donators for supporting my music and community work. It's the first time in my career that I'm getting regular income just for music, and it feels great. Now, let's talk about additive synthesis. I've created an experiment using an additive synthesizer in the grid, which consists of a sine wave generator and multiple partials in different frequencies. By layering these partials, we can create complex sounds. I explain how to adjust the frequencies and introduce modulations to make the sound more interesting. I also demonstrate how to narrow the partials down to the fundamental frequency for different effects. The preset I created is called additive wonder, and you can download it from my GitHub repository. If you have any ideas or solutions on creating partials with less CPU usage, please let me know. Thank you for watching, and I hope you have fun experimenting with this preset. Bye!
