    Hi there, thanks for all the interest & kind words :) For those asking about where they can get the album etc; I've uploaded this to Bandcamp just now if you'd like to support me (see description), I've no plans currently to do physical copies although I may look at this in the future. Currently just working on some new music when time allows so stay tuned.

      How did you make this music? VSTs? Real Instruments? Hardware Effects?
      Would like to buy a LP in future of your stuff, to sample it in my mpc. Keep it up

      You should send this in to some labels. This is seriously some of the best fantasy synth I've heard in a while. I'd recommend making an Instagram account and sending it to labels there. Cheers!!!

      Funny that you say so! I was walking the forest with this on the ear, and i found an abaondoned cabin filled w8th alot of 90's tech. Balancing through the forest with my ikeabags filled with the scavenged stuff, with this music, was epic! The music aligned perfectly to every little move and hiccup as well! ⚡💯⚛️

    I came by accident here but what a surprise! Your music/melodies, and synth sounds are from another world. I play for 30 years with analog synths and althrough the sounds are digital no one knows it if you don't know it. And in fact it doesnt matter your sound is so "special" like from outer space :-) I just bought your album on bandcamp and gave a little bit extra cause this sounds so refreshing. Keep on going.

    Now this is something different in a generally more or less stagnant genre where most play a couple of ambient pads and call it a day. This focuses more heavily on the "synth" part and you can actually hear some synthesis going on instead of plain old presets. I really enjoyed the sounds and the tunes. Do i hear some Kirkwood vibes here and there as well? Great work, keep it up!
