TORLEY 🍉🎹

torley.bandcamp.com/track/gelissy Short for "Vangelis", long for lullabys. Definitely have a way wit' soaring. Like to start soft then dramatically build it up, that's the formula.

@xlnaudio OMG DB-30 EVEN HAS A RANDOM PRESET LOADER! i am overjoy. Please PlEaSe PLEASE bring this to your other ultrafine products like the venerable RC-20 + Addictive Drums🎲

torley.bandcamp.com/track/explodet… Messy portmanteau meets hot sax. Detectives who uncover a crazy conspiracy and the building blows up!

torley.bandcamp.com/track/rompnsto… Slight tip o' hat to early Orbital circa "Sad But True" and The Matrix vibes but with my kindred bundling of prog rock x RnB in da club driver's seat.

torley.bandcamp.com/track/the-laye… What happens when I take some retro breakbeats and "modernize" the works with bubbly tropical-Arabic percolations. Not gonna say no to that saw lead.

How does Sweden learn math? ABBACUS.

Aquaman is a fish out of water by being in water.

@klevgrand OneShot2's Motion Percussion + iOS app is a FANTASTIC PROBLEM-SOLVER — makes it so much easier to directly record expressive gestures without ugly setup overhead. The rainstick and others simply sound insanely great. WAY TO GO, A TREMENDOUS VALUE-ADD! 🚡🪘

torley.bandcamp.com/track/tomitones Vaguely inspired by some Squarepusher track, guess which. Didn't use bass, but resorted to sine-derivative keys. Those broken chords fix me up real good mmmm!

I'd welcome a dance-architecture collaboration between the Māori Haka and Chinese Hakka.

torley.bandcamp.com/track/torley-s… Aural equivalent of a vanity license plate. I freestyle the singy lines and do big beats like a marchy parade celebrating the RPG hero's next journey.

@todoist Praise for Melis and team at Todoist for providing EXCEPTIONALLY THOROUGH support with unusual issues I've been having. Being so hands-on is an extremely valuable part of why I continue to use Todoist!🙌✨

torley.bandcamp.com/track/data-dri… Began as Generic Synthwave 101, then y'know, I don't consciously go out to "twist" the knot but diaspora bits like crispy IDM perc all bouncyballlike merges in.

Every time I click that "New Live Set" it's putting a fresh sheet of paper in my sonic typewriter, my sound processor. ⌨️ 🎵 🎹

soundcloud.com/rmsradio1/cass… A paean to the so-called Golden Age of early synthesizers with its shimmering warmth and gilded melodies — there's something about that unquantized, hand-played timing. 🎹 🤌 Made with Rocky Mountain Sounds' Cassette for Omnisphere 3.

BLACK GARFIELD

"Working" on a new track that’s like John Zorn sax + Timbaland beats + DJ crossfadin' — I discovered I can Transmutate to surf between parallel universes LIVE, so it dips in and out of adjacent timelines, effectively tuning a cosmic radio dial.

torley.bandcamp.com/track/inventiv… A tale of islandic scientific labs and the reign of crystalline skyships, compleat with a loaded accoutrement of universe-porting tech.

TIMELINE TRAVELER'S DILEMMA: You could go anywhere... but you just want to go home.

torley.substack.com/p/the-upliftin… The uplifting life and dastardly death of Monogram Creative Console An remarkable product that fulfilled wishes... then ghosted its fanbase 👻
