Want to finish a track in a tracker? Prepare it for a contest

Trackers are a way to make music outside the conventional process. Tracker music contests are a means to finish a track. It’s interesting but not easy. My usual process is to open FL Studio, set a direction and constraints with a phrase or two, come up with a title, then make the track. “Making a track” gets tedious after 5–6 repetitions. Then I do a “fill”: a musical experiment in an unusual program or with unusual constraints. During vacation, these fills happen more often. ...

Heavy Rain

I’ve been avoiding the topic of samples for a long time. For me, synthesizers were the main actors. Of course, I made tracks using percussion loops. Of course, I use individual samples for drums. But the idea of a track being built around a musical phrase taken from a sample pack… I couldn’t say I hadn’t done it before. But then it was more of a learning project. Heavy Rain is my first serious experience in the melodic techno genre. ...

Chess

The single “Chess” has been released: melodic techno with acid fragments. Not an authentic 303 from Roland, but an imitation. I wanted to check how such a sound would fit into the genre. Checked. Listen to Chess on all major streaming services I often come up with the name of the track in advance when I make the first draft. I save the project and immediately give it a name. And this name largely determines the sound and idea of the track. It was like that with Summer Holidays on Mars, with Poker Face, with Reunion. Usually, the connection between the name and the sound is clear only to me. In the last case, the name evoked associations with “Blade Runner” and its soundtrack by Vangelis. ...

Summer Holidays on Mars

Summer Holidays on Mars is my new track in the Melodic Techno style. It is already available on all streaming platforms. DJs and video creators can download it for free. Listen to Summer Holidays on Mars on all major streaming services The melody of the track catches from the first notes, and the percussion calls to dance. I really like this track (who would have thought ;)). I hope that Summer Holidays on Mars can be enjoyed both at home and in a DJ set at a noisy club party. ...

Poker Face

In the heart of the electronic labyrinth lies “Poker Face,” an audial expedition that pulsates through the shadows of dark, energetic, and melodic techno. Listen to Poker Face on all major streaming services This instrumental creation weaves a sonic tapestry, encapsulating listeners in its enigmatic atmosphere. With a deliberate low emotional dynamic, the track builds a mysterious ambiance, guided by hypnotic beats and intricate synth arrangements. As the rhythmic waves unfold, the absence of vocals enhances the immersive experience, allowing the music to speak directly to the soul. ...
