TORLEY 🍉🎹

@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 👻

MAH BABIEZZZZ MAH BEAUTIFUL BABIEZZZZ 🐈‍⬛ 🐈‍⬛

NOURISH UR MOUTHS MAH BABIEZZZZ 🐈‍⬛ 🐈‍⬛

torley.bandcamp.com/track/200-idea… Starts bold, finishes bolder. When I'm in the midst of musicmaking, I generate momentum and have urges to stack layers like poker chips — the journey is always worth the bet!

music.torley.com/album/shibboli… Friendly greetings! 🍉🎹 Happy 303 Day, I’ve got music you haven’t heard before, suitably including a couple Acid bangers and so much more. May this get your groove on whilst you reflect on existence.

torley.substack.com/p/human-kind Human kind On how precedented unknowns expose our true selves, "AI slop" is everything, and how I've been using Suno

We're living in a reality where most of the people, most of the time, can't tell if something is AI-generated or human-handcrafted. It readily informs you about human frailty and an expanded forgiveness for those who are unable to distinguish (nor are curious to clarify).

soundcloud.com/rmsradio1/cass… Beat-driven embarkation lead by crisp plucks and a funk-adjacent bassline — all fantastic sounds from Rocky Mountain Sounds' Cassette for Omnisphere 3!
