    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.

    I'll simply add that Salire is an absolutely gorgeous, enveloping and masterfully executed LP by @xox

    Classical Music

    in Music Discussion

    Not a promo stunt or anything, upcoming 3OP by @xox aka Notein feels like classical music to me. It's by no mean a neo-classical records, and I'm not saying it was xox's intent, but I've listened to it a lot (obviously) and everytime it strikes me as what classical music could have been if it incorporated current technology and sonics to its palette. I'm vastly ignorant of how composers are currentky pushing the enveloppe in the genre though.

    Calum Gunn - Excessive Step (3OP003) OUT NOW

    Preview (the first 90 seconds of each track) :

    Calum Gunn is a Scottish electronic musician and programmer based in Berlin, Germany. His sonic recordings and performances (as well as his label Conditional) are legendary, and we are beyond proud and excited to be able to release his tunes on 3OP.

    Excessive Step is of the most exciting albums I've listened to in recent memory, and we sense it's a classic in the making. Experimental, yet accessible. Emotive and contemplative, but never really nostalgic. Crisp, digital, modern: very much computer music, yet quite organic and human as well. The sonic symbiosis of human and machine in realtime. A kind of cybernetic perfection.

    On the surface, this is a wicked collection of pure bangers, Tidal Cycles based jams, and DJ applications. But we are confident you'll find this this to be a tantalizing and very cohesive album experience, filled with adventure and character. It's futuristic electro, yet we've found that Excessive Step has a timelessness to it.

    We hope you enjoy this sonic journey as much as we have over the last few months of many, many listens. I feel lucky to have had this in my playlist up to now. It really is so much FUN to listen to.

    Absolute belter of an LP, a future classic IMO.

    FM Synthesis (techniques, anecdotes)

    What is the best FM VST out there?

    I heard that the FM8 is very thin and disappointing compared to a DX7. 
     

    The 3 Chipsynths (MD, PortaFM and OPS7) by Plogue ooze attitude and sound fantastic.

    Still, Bazille by u-he is my very favorite (FM) synth : the way you can blend Yamaha FM (phase modulation) and Casio phase distorsion is beyond stellar. So many tricks up its sleeve, and such a gloriously lush tone.

    FM8 is just plain boring.
