Welcome to the new Polyatomic website. It’s been about 7 years since I’ve written anything of substance. I’ve had some old tracks I didn’t know what to do with, that finally got some love and attention, and they were finally released over the past few weeks:
- Mmm Babe featuring Mr. Majors – Definitely not safe for work
- 8-Bit Los Angeles
It kind of kickstarted me into a frenzy of getting my studio back in order. In short, Scott and I moved into our new condo 7 years ago and I never had the space to setup the studio properly until now. The studio is now called “Solarium” as it overlooks our balcony that has a beautiful south-west view and sun steams in. On top of these two tracks, I got super excited by Roland’s new Aira TR-8 and TB-3 which are digital versions of the Roland TR-808 & TR-909 Rhythm Composers, and TB-303 Bassline. Yes, this started in a spending spree of new equipment with additional purchases of
- Korg Microkey25 so I can play and program in my hotel room.
- Steinberg UR44 so I could sample my Korg TritonLE – finally allowing me to use this amazing synth, the sounds I’ve only used a handful of times. It also lets me sample the Korg Kaossilator Pro.
- Roland System 1 digital-based analog synth.
- Korg Kronos X, an amazing Linux based synth with 9 engines including a Korg MS-20 and PolySix, and that doesn’t scratch the surface.
- Yamaha HS5 Studio Monitors – Using my laptop speakers just doesn’t cut it.
I am super excited about turning this leaf. I’ve needed to get to being creative more. The ultimate goal? I’ve already have one track available on iTunes. How about that elusive goal of creating an album? Yes, it’s about time I wrote a complete album. Truth is, I did have more than a full album of material but I released it all for free. Lucky for all of you out there. In the meantime, as we get this place sorted out, enjoy my SoundCloud page.
