hi! thank you for the kind comments! for that song (and most of my synth songs) i use an old free vst called "charlatan" -- should be the first result for "charlatan vst". add to that some old drum machine samples and you're 90% of the way there! i also run everything through some processing to loosen things up. things like tape saturation and pitch instability for some subtle wiggle and warmth. hope that helps!

Hey, thanks for the comments on my song! Yes, it’s just a snippet. I’ve written the remaining parts and will be sharing the complete song soon.

...that one fell out like you hear it, literally wrote it line by line beginning to end, because once I had one "couplet" which comprised one round through the chord progression, I could keep reusing the same general melody/chords over and over and just worry about telling the story and not so much about the music. Lyrically that one has been the most complex yet, but musically the simplest. So yeah I just trudged through until I got to the end and needed something like an outro and had some weird idea to make a Beatles reference. I used to have a dog named Ringo and thought it would be cool to touch on that whole 'who really was the walrus' mystery and so somehow (in the song) the now dead Jerry Springer Spaniel passed away and appeared to me (or whoever the singer of the song is) in the dream revealing the true identity of "the walrus" and that identity had a double meaning in my mind (Ringo Starr and my own dog who I lost, and honestly don't know if he's still alive).

It's a long ass verse indeed! which makes me realize I should rename it 'The Ballad of Jerry Springer Spaniel' to suit that AAAAAAAB song structure...or just write a chorus.

thank you for the kind words on "Weights". I can only hope that Brian Eno would be happy with it too 😂

Hi, thanks for listening. When I wrote "Arctic" to be a demo: I think it's a bit too fast and the initial guitar is played sloppy. But it was so much fun yesterday evening to decorate it with further tracks.

Hi hi Stew, if you're looking for a Radiohead-like collaboration this year let me know! Would love to collaborate on something dark and textural!
