about

14 months, about a 1000+ hours of work, and multiple missed deadlines later, I give to you, Landscapes.

I've been working hard as hell on this album, and you should expect a lot of cool stuff on here, as I once again showcase my musical powers in the space of ten tracks. This 3rd album, unlike its predecessor, is a lot more cerebral, and less focused on spacey stuff, and overall, it's a tad more psychedelic than the last record, I've tried making the atmosphere on each track as ambiguous as possible so that people can interpret it in their own way, which is the biggest difference compared to TEWNBT.

There's a lot more influence from outside IDM on this one, mostly from jazz, but from other sources, too. I've really wanted to diversify the sounds and the way they are put together. There's a homage to the Armenian jazz pianist (And overall badass musician) Tigran Hamasyan on the song Pymtheg, his rhythmical trickery is unbelievable and has influenced me to an extent, as it shows up a few times during this project.

This album has been a challenge to make at times, given that only two years ago I wouldn't even have dared to try making any of this. Just goes to show how fast I've grown as an artist, to think I was once a chiptune musician is kinda wild. Who knows what I'll conjure up next...

Anyway, enjoy listening :)

Permutations
by Roaming in Limbo

Roaming In Limbo's debut LP is a wonderful concoction of danceable and chilling soundscapes, the album gives me BoC vibes, which according to me indicates a good album. More goodness is to be expected Smaz

meow music
by Koolcat

If chiptune is your thing, then "meow music" by Koolcat is a great listen, it's got all of the best aspects of the genre with extra elements thrown in for good measure, it's 10 tunes worth of fun. Smaz
