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.

His BR set is absolutely fantastic, I'd pay for the flac instantly if it was for sale.

He teased the tunes last year via his IG, super funky deconstructed additive synthesis madness. Preordered.

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.

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.

Jam City - I hope, but he has released Pillowloand last year...
Love his bittersweet melodies.
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 ?

"In 2013, Steinberg stated that it would no longer maintain the software developer’s kit (SDK) for the VST2 plug-in format, but the SDK would still be available as a subset of the VST3 SDK. Then in May 2018, Steinberg announced that starting in October, the subset will be eliminated."
https://www.sweetwater.com/insync/vst-2-4-vs-vst-3-0-who-cares-you-do/ (not the most recent article but quite thorough)
FWIW, I've switched to VST3 a while ago and haven't looked back. I've used them with Live 10/11, Reaper 5/6 and Architect on both OSX and Win10. Not a single issue in sight. I want my sessions to be futureproof.
Note that Setinberg no longer delivers licence agreement for VST2 to new developers.
Now, I'm very curious to see if this new format will take off https://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=574861

combing this thread and I'm so glad I checked this out, fantastic album
Thank you so much ! I'm pretty sure I've listened to the tunes more than anyone else on this planet hehe (preparing the release, mastering it etc...) and Fluidity's an astonishing grower of an album. A true pleasure to work with William too.

Yeah I saw the IG story too. Talking about his IG stories, he shared few snippets of upcoming material over the year, and they were sensational : much funkier and more luxuriant than Source / closer to say Unfold... but with a very fresh new and expanded take on it. Super impatient.
Aside from the obvious huge, huge bangers on Source, I didn't listen to it as much as I thought I would. I'd also love him to release bits of his stellar live sets.

Tidal Cycles can manipulate tempo and time signatures in the most creative ways if you want.

I really how he’s been using the Raster Noton soundpalette into a much more club-oriented context with each release. Bought and looking forward to the LP.

I was always dissapointed in NI's Razor synth. It seemed right on the cusp of something like this but for whatever reason the UI was geared for making wubba dubba dubstep bass sounds
Razor is awesome but I can't help ripping off Gabor Lazar's sound palette whenever I use it. Sumu could be a great alternative for similarly super sharp, shapeshifting sounds.

Out now !
Digital release (inc. 24bit downloads) & limited Archive Edition, via 3OP
Notein is Mersad Muminović, hailing from Hrvatska (Croatia), and 3OP presents to the world his stunning work Salire.
Like vistas of wide open space. Crisp cool air on a spring morning with droplets of dew on each blade of grass. Salire will take you to places, to environments, to landscapes. Where you end up is up to you and how you interact with the story.
Salire is a saga; expansive and enveloping. Salire is a fine wine. Salire is an oceanic voyage on a seaworthy vessel.
As if some drone synth machinery from a bygone era was commandeered and recalibrated with firmware updates and paired with gracefully applied field recordings, Notein has constructed detailed textures, nuanced layers, and a narrative driven sonic journey that rewards both the active listener and the weary traveler. Washes of electrical and computed synthetic fabrics purify like pools of mana.
Some say the modern world is succumbing to instant gratification, consumerism, fickle attention span, cheapening of art, and the tyranny of convenience. Salire stands tall and strong against these tides, like a monolith of structure upon the sands of chaos.
It's the least percussive and most atmospheric/ambient 3OP release so far, and we're excited about that. Salire boldly defies genre or categorization: it's a classic, timeless work that that we are proud to release.
-E
Written and produced by Mersad Muminović
Mastering by Nil Hartman
Artwork by Andrew BatesI'll simply add that Salire is an absolutely gorgeous, enveloping and masterfully executed LP by @xox-

Synalegg - Violynt Tropiqs (3OP005) OUT NOW !
in New & Upcoming Releases

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.
