Iker GS Some so called "ambient music" is meant to be played low. Well, playing this album pretty loud on 100W speakers feels like a religious experience.
You cannot but surrender to this SOUND experience, that carries the listener from a sonic induced trance to a retrofuturistic dystopia.

about

( I think analog synthesizer sounds are more enjoyable through speakers than through headphones. )

Recently, I hesitate to think about the meaning of sound beyond acoustic phenomena, but I think that the sound here naturally reflects this world. This is inevitable.

In this album, I focused on the methods of generating sounds and the methods of turning these into the works based on the parameters in the logics.

And this time I used old equipment that had been lying dormant, although it wasn't expensive. Perhaps the saturation that occurs there adds a unique flavor to the sound of the synthesizers.

I also like to create sounds with programming such as Max, but by tweaking the knobs to give articulation to the sound, a virtuous cycle occurs during production.
This is the two sides of the same coin between electronic music performance methods and composition methods.

I thought that the relationship between hardware and human beings was determined by the degree of influence on creativity.

Surrender yourself to the sounds that are there.
There are just sounds that resonate with me in this heavy time.
I hope it resonates with you too.
