ZOMG! Its a surprise EP. "WTF is this bulltrickery – you just released a new album?" you might ask. Read on. My holiday has just kicked off, and before I could get into the serious composition work, I wanted to finish a few tunes that were lying in a 75%-finished state on my desktop. I didnt have a clue as to where they might go, I didnt want to delete them either as liked them, and also to make absolutely sure I wouldnt get into a hey-lets-start-a-new-album zone (as my new album came out two weeks ago) or anything, Ill just throw them out so theyll be a thing of the past and I can move on. Its not like I dont like the tracks – I actually do (otherwise Id delete them as I always do with stuff that aint worthwhile) – its just that Im not in the mindstate where Id build anything around them or whatever. So here you go. You can pay what you want. Sure, you can name your price zero EUR if you wish, and you also have the chance to drop a donation for any crazy reason you might come up with (I recently added the donation button on the page as Ive been getting suggestions itd be a good move as several people have said theyd like to donate…however, Ive got one single donation so far…go figure…I guess people forgot)! I wouldnt be surprised if I did more of these in the future. So, be looking out for more Oh-So-Random EPs in the distant future, perhaps. Words will always suck at describing music, but heres a brief, feeble attempt. 1. Rainbow Rally. Dont ask about the title. It literally popped into my mind when I was trying to come up with a title. Maybe the lullaby-like sounds took me back to the days when I was playing Rainbow Islands on C64 or something. Ahem. Anyways. This ones been inspired (rather than influenced) by the 160 bpm movement thats been happening, and I, for one, am all up for taking the tempo down. You remember the time(s) when you were at a D&B event and thought, "Geez, its really going too fast"? Yeah, me too. Ive got stuff and a mixtape in the works thats stylistically influenced by the 80/160 bpm goodness out there, but this ones mostly just slower jungle. 2. Spacetime. The first track I did with the Maschine I happened to get (big thanks to Studiotec in Espoo, Finland, as well as mister Bad Loop for hooking me up). Felt like I want to bang something out, and this little hiphoppery thing came out. Thought of putting it on my forthcoming instrumental hiphop album (as FatGyver), but stylistically it doesnt fit, as the FatGyver album will mostly be about the nineties East Coast / "golden era" style. And oh yeah, I need to finish that album. I wish there were 29 hours in a day sometimes. 3. Moth Jazz. I recently purchased an Access Virus Indigo synth. Many of the sounds in this tune come from it. Theres also some E-MU bass action from an E5000 Ultra. Wanted to make something dark and brooding yet not heavy or too banging. For some reason I knew it from the beginning that this song has to stay short. I cant explain it. 4. Another version of track # 3, but here I wanted to try out how the drums would work if I made them really sparse. Does it work? You be the judge.
