Just released an album with a friend. It's dark ambient / noise / experimental. Synths and guitar recorded at my home studio just after it was completed. We focused on creating contrasting textures and then layering a few different performances until things solidified. Definitely some drone and doom elements too. It's been distributed digitally and is available on all streaming platforms.

Same genre and recorded at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley, CA. Elder Skeleton - Obelisk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aA33LP8BEUw https://open.spotify.com/album/1lzb5STMZgkp8J3KKHMKVO

Thanks! During recording the guitar player was using an isocab in the same room so it was pretty loud. Forced me to choose timbres that could cut through the midsy guitar. The bitcrusher on the Roland system 1-m I was using is very musical and did a good job of giving me those sandy or clean high frequency textures without being overpowering of fatiguing. We have another upcoming noisier and heavier album currently going through mastering.

It's an awesome little synth with some weird quirks, has the Roland flavor on the filter and the oscillators are very powerful with some cool and unexpected waveforms, including some added by a firmware update that aren't indicated on the panel. Way more appealing and ergonomic than any of their boutique stuff to me, but uses the same ACB technology (so its a virtual analog essentially). I like to use it as a supplemental voice patched into the external input of my Matrixbrute and controlled via CV. I've never used the plugout feature as the emulations cost ~$150 each and at this point I would probably buy a Behringer MS-101 instead of figuring out some weird alternate mode in the same box. It's big brother the System-8 is also a high quality sleeper synth I think, and there's a keyboard version if you don't care about CV. I do also think its a good value if you wanna get into modular. You get a pair of envelopes, oscillators, and an LFO for a reasonable price. You can also patch external signals thru the filter. Onboard delay & reverb aren't great, but I love the bitcrusher and the master tone control. The biggest things that get in my way are: - 4 voice polyphony is a little restrictive, and can only do mono when CV is patched - cant turn off the green lights - esoteric button combos to change some settings - the CV implementation has some strange choices, like the LFO is 10v bipolar and needs to be attenuated or scaled to be useful with a lot of other eurorack stuff, also the V/Oct CV input doesn't work unless the gate input is also patched, but you can just dead patch it.
