2015 available now!

2015 Album Cover

Click here to listen to the EP! 2015 is an EP inspired by sketches I recorded in 2015 in Belgium and the US. The challenge for this month’s EP was to use a different DAW (digital audio workstation) than I am used to, which was tougher than I expected.

After trying out a few free DAWs I realised I’d settle for GarageBand on the mac. It took me 3 weeks just to get into the flow, but once I got into it I noticed my usual way of working wouldn’t work; somehow the program you choose to work in can shape the work you produce.

The end result was a “rock demo tape” style of EP. I recorded in longer takes with less comping (recording the same part over and over), instead relying on more practicing beforehand and less recording, as it could be a bit more tedious to do a lot of splicing and adjusting.

Thanks for listening and I hope you enjoy it!

2018 available now!

2018 Album Cover

Click here to listen to the EP! 2018 is an EP inspired by sketches I recorded in Belgium during that year. This month’s EP challenge was the opposite of the last one: Instead of purely acoustic recordings I went for fully-electronic. Only samples, loops, VSTis, built-in instruments, not a single second of anything recorded on my microphone.

It ended up being a bit synth-waveish with a touch of NIN; a bit eerie, dark and intense, but following the melodies and harmonies of the sketches I recorded back in 2018. A bit different from my normal work, but that’s the challenge: Working within constraints.

Thanks for listening and I hope you enjoy it!

2016 available now!

2016 Album Cover

Click here to listen to the EP! 2016 is an EP very loosely based on sketches I recorded in 2016 in Belgium. The drafts were too simple and I thought I could make something better, so I set myself a few challenges for this release: Everything acoustic, no VSTis (only effects), and no vocals. It was a challenge for sure but I love how Sunlight Jacket turned out (the first track) which gives me the same nostalgia that some of C418’s tracks for Minecraft do. The feeling of seeing the sun going down… The feeling that anything can happen now.

Thanks for listening and I hope you enjoy it!

2019 available now!

2019 Album Cover

Click here to listen to the EP! 2019 is an EP based on sketches I recorded in 2019 in Belgium, which is arguably the best year of my life; Having travelled to the US, Belgium, Denmark, Iceland and other places, running a marathon, amongst many other things, it was a year full of crazy high notes and a few shocking moments. I tried to capture some of that vibe in these 4 tracks.

Thanks for listening and I hope you enjoy it!

2013 available now!

2013 Album Cover

Click here to listen to the EP! 2013 is an EP based on sketches I recorded in 2013 in Mexico during a very tumultuous year. Juggling owning a business, figuring out my future, dealing with massive amounts of stress, yet at the same time having on of the most epic years of my life, led to a lot of interesting and weird compositions during this time.

I wish I had more time to post about the creation of it, the process of recording, what instruments were used, but it is hard to find the time and energy right now, as I struggle as-is to release each EP on time; juggling full time work, lots of things going on in life, as well as recording, refining and mixing 5-6 songs per month really takes a toll. I need a holiday. I’ll try to do some album breakdown sessions soon at least, video format might be easier than blogs in any case.

Thanks for listening and I hope you enjoy it!
