The limitation of only 8 voices and 4 tracks in this minimalist Digitone-only dub techno project has meant I've been missing the ability to add more pads and ambience. I really enjoy working with soundscapes to create textures and drones that enhance the overall aesthetic, so I’m looking forward for my next project now. However, it's been a great project for digging even deeper into the Digitone and to put more work into every single sound. Now, I will start to compile the recordings from this project into a finished release.

The original Digitone, released in 2017, is truly a marvelous FM synthesizer. To be honest, my experience with FM synthesis is limited to Elektron', but they've undeniably sparked a genuine love for it within me. Initially, I was somewhat skeptical about whether it would deliver the specific sounds I sought. However, the more time I dedicated to it, the clearer it became that it was, in fact, perfect for my needs. Perhaps it was a process of me adapting to its unique character, or perhaps it was the Digitone adapting to mine; either way, it’s a fantastic machine.

This is the sixth instalment in my second Digitone-only dub techno project. It’s a minimalistic FM experiment to create complete songs using only four tracks and eight voices.

Samples and loops from all these tracks will be available through Luftrum forthcoming “Dub Techno Chords Volume 2”.

NEW ALBUM! 🎧 Xanadu Terrain is an acid infused dub techno journey in 4 chapters. It contains 8 tracks of hypnotic hardware based and chord driven techno from start to finish. It will take you from higher ground to deep underground soundscapes, into the echos of Xanadu.

In the heart of Titan's icy expanse, a realm of ancient mystery awaits. Xanadu, a vast, bright region that stretches across the moon's southern hemisphere, is a testament to the forces of nature at work in the distant reaches of our solar system.

Imagine a landscape sculpted by wind and ice, a tapestry of dunes and plains bathed in the ethereal glow of Saturn's rings. A place where the echoes of ancient geological processes reverberate through the icy depths.

This is an invite to embark on a journey to Xanadu. To experience the eerie silence, the cosmic winds, and the ethereal glow of Saturn's distant sun. Let this sonic journey transport you to a realm beyond imagination, where the boundaries between science and art blur.

This is the last dub techno session...
..in my latest project. A project that contains eight tracks that could be seen as a result of a creative process that functions as an iterative loop. A process I start by building a foundational track structure, experimenting with elements until I'm satisfied with the result. Then, I duplicate this base and begin to explore variations, often shifting keys or introducing significant changes. This process continues until I've created a collection of eight tracks, each with a unique identity yet connected by a shared DNA. This I feel holds the project and all the tracks together into one unified gathering of tracks and when ready makes it great material for a unified release.

Thank you all so very much, who have supported my work so far. And thank you all for listening.

Have a great day.

The seventh acid-infused installment in my latest dub techno project has been an amazing journey. Incorporating TD-3 elements into this project has not only added a new flavor but also made it more suitable for a live performance, which was its intended purpose. It's truly remarkable how the distinct 303 sounds effortlessly pierce through any mix.

The most challenging aspect of this project was maintaining a delicate balance, ensuring that the TD-3 elements didn't overshadow the other components. In my upcoming project, I'll be focusing solely on the Digitone, exploring its full potential in a more minimalistic sonic landscape. After that, I'll carefully consider how and if I'll reintroduce the TD-3, and in what context it would best complement the overall composition.

Have a great weekend 🥳
