  1. Source's highlights are immense... but as an album it's yet to meet my initial expectations. I like that new one a lot.
  2. I hope you guys won't mind the bump : I can't find the thread about my EP [~], which has been mentionned a few times in that very topic. It was released a year ago now and, as a thank you and a closure (for me), I'm giving away 100 redeem codes to grab it for free. So here they are : Please note that I have no clue which are still working (can't access this info).
  3. Yes, on 3OP. @eczemand I run it together, and I master all our releases.
  4. Thank you so much ! I'm lucky to have swaped countless emails with Synalegg now : top human being, immensely talented musician and his overall approach to composition is absolutely fascinating. So glad to have released VT.
  5. I wish the VCV developpers were more akin to venture into Serge and Buchla territories.

    TWIN PEAKS

    From what I've read and watched, TM is simply meditation with a mantra, twice a day for 20 minutes. The catch is, the mantra has to be personalized, to remain secret... and you have to pay to receive it.

    TWIN PEAKS

    Yup. The technique itself is quite effective though. Any mantra will work, no need to pay for that.
  9. If you're familiar with William's work, this one is quite singular and explores different tempi and moods. I didn't know Alex's work before but their collab works wonders, I don't think either would have written such tunes solo. Quite a luxuriant record, gorgeous stuff.
  10. Hopefully, someday in a relatively distant future, my now 7 month old baby girl Delia, will attend the festival. I'll sure go with her ;)
  11. @Richie Sombrero thank you so much ! Synalegg just published an hypnotizing video for Mace Plover (also made with Pure Data). You can watch it on his IG or on VT's Bandcamp release page. https://www.instagram.com/tv/CY3pBRkF4wJ
  12. Fluidity, FieldOS, Shackamaxon and Traction are my favorite I'd say. And...
  13. Killer material by the algo maestro !
  14. The very same tracks, made with piano rolls / trackers etc... would have been equally fantastic musically. But, the fact that VT is entirely generative is 1000% mind-bending.
  15. Don’t want to go off topic but we have stunning stuffs in the pipeline for 2022. Ecz and I are immensely honored to work with such talented human beings. I’m genuinely excited / impatient to share the upcoming releases with the world ? I feel like each new release adds « value » to the previous ones. 3OP is artist-centric, so all the merits goes to them. It’s so heart-warming to read your feedback ! Synalegg’s is a personal favorite, I’ll add I love to listen to Computer Series then VT in a row. It’s fascinating to hear the evolution of his patch.
  16. His BR set is absolutely fantastic, I'd pay for the flac instantly if it was for sale.
  17. He teased the tunes last year via his IG, super funky deconstructed additive synthesis madness. Preordered.
  18. ENG Synalegg is a French computer artist. I discovered his work when “Beating the Odds” was released on Conditional, and have been obsessed with his music since then. Raw yet refined and deliberate, concise and luxuriant all at once, what I heard teemed personality and singularity. “Computer Series”, released last September via OOH Sound, was another musical slap in my face. A proper technical tour de force : for that record, Synalegg has built his own generative compositional system (using Pure Data) and has used it exclusively for all his audio needs. To oversimplify a complex process, his custom patch can synthesize, compose and produce a fully fledged, release-ready piece of music by clicking a button. Unaltered autonomous computed art at its finest. “Violynt Tropiqs” relies on the same system, yet Synalegg has refined his approach here. The workflow remains identical, but the rule set to channel his system has been tailored towards a more curated result. And the 7 tracker here is nothing but breath-taking and deceptively human-sounding computer music : the music totally steals the show, no matter how it was done. A masterpiece, if I may. Such emotional depth and musical finesse completely overshadows the yet thoroughly impressive, clever programming. As usual, I’ll let you discover the music yourself, and create your own connection with it. Grab the archive, download the hi-res files and enjoy. And play it countless times, just like I’ve been ever since Synalegg shared the tunes with us. n. - FR Synalegg est un artiste informatique français. J'ai découvert son oeuvre quand "Beating the Odds" est sorti chez Conditional, et suis depuis obsédé par sa musique. Brut et pourtant aussi raffiné que délibéré, concis et luxuriant tout à la fois, ce que j'entendais dégageait une personnalité et une singularité rare.. "Computer Series", paru en septembre dernier via OOH Sound, fut pour moi une nouvelle gifle musicale. Un véritable tour de force technique : pour cet album, Synalegg a conçu son propre système de composition générative (en utilisant l'environnement de programmation Pure Data) et l'a utilisé exclusivement pour tous ses besoins audio. Pour simplifier à l'extrême un processus complexe, son patch sur mesure peut synthétiser, composer et produire un morceau entier et fini, prêt à paraître... par l'action d'un clic. De l'art informatique, autonome et sans altération, à son meilleur. "Violynt Tropiqs" compte sur le même système, et pourtant Synalegg a ici affiné son approche. Le processus reste identique, mais les règles pour canaliser son système ont été restreintes et redéfinies pour atteindre un résultat plus spécifique et cadré. Et les 7 pistes sont simplement saisissantes de beauté et confondante d'humanité, aussi informatique soit la musique : celle-ci éclipse totalement la prouesse technique, qu'importent les moyens mis en œuvre. Un chef d'œuvre, si vous me le permettez. Une telle profondeur émotionnelle et finesse musicale relaient au second plan l'impressionnante et intelligente programmation informatique. Comme d'habitude, je vous laisse découvrir davantage la musique par vous même, et vous créer votre propre connexion avec celle-ci. Achetez l'archive, téléchargez la version numérique qualité master et profitez. Et écoutez Violynt Tropiqs encore et encore, tout comme je le fais depuis que Synalegg a partagé les morceaux avec nous. n. released January 14, 2022 Written and produced by Synalegg Mastering by Nil Hartman Artwork by Andrew Bates TL;DR : Fully generative masterpiece. Quite an immense record IMO.
  19. Huge fan too. While I love Pillowland, some new new "fully eletronic" tunes would be lovely. I suppose you're already familiar with his ACT! projet ?
