Join Matt of Lexic Task to celebrate 2 years since “Zodiax Facts” was released! Happening on Bandcamp, the 45 minute, 14 track album of IDM, electronica, and ambient tracks is epic in scope (which at the time seemed like an anti-war comment and still is). It is an immersive IDM electronica album, awash with synths, modular synths, drum machines, loud kick drums, fat bass synths, programming and digital synthesis and effects. It’s a sonic adventure. You can experience it tomorrow
“Somedays (Expanded Edition)” is a updated album of 15 tracks, featuring outtakes, alternate versions and edits, remixes, and a new piano track, “Forsee”, 8 tracks taken from “Somedays” (July 2023) plus 5 new tracks. It’s my chill album, a relaxing ambiance to cope as stress relief. It features the IDM ambient sound, along with hints of deep house, piano melodies, and ambient techno. Features the viral FB stories hit, “Only Some Days”. Pre-order now. All tracks on bandcamp and beatport, are high-resolution WAV 24bit/48K downloads.
My latest, a music video for my band “ouveure’s” song Stars in the Night Sky, a calming, yet epic display of night stars and expanding instrumentals, of guitar. The song is taken from “Aura Chorus”, a 15 track epic instrumental album of experimental guitar passages, drenched in reverb and delay. An atmospheric album which can be characterized as “ambient rock”, the songs weave in and out of the trees in sonic landscapes, and even have a psychedelic tone, yet looking to a brighter future if possible.
The album uses guitars, piano and synths to display and ambiance of longing, or even hiking. Similar in tone to Brian Eno’s use of guitars on “Apollo”, inspirations from Radiohead’s sonic b-side experiments also bare fruit. The album even encompasses the sonic experience of Boards of Canada’s lighter tracks.
In time for Bandcamp Friday, is “Secondary Foundations” by Lexic Task, a double album.
Secondary Foundations is the sister album to 2022’s “Polarization” by Lexic Task. Both albums are a series of backlog tracks dating back from 2011. Here they are presented in album format, WAV 16/44.1khz. It is a darker departure from traditional LT material, techno and ambient techno, ambient tracks, and experimental in nature. The album incorporates the use of digital synthesis, programming, as well as live analog modular synths, and synths including Korg MS20, drum machines TR8, and more.
Join us for the official bandcamp listening party tomorrow, after bandcamp Friday.

One year ago-today, I released my most experimental (at the time) set of tracks, an mainly ambient “Glaciers EP”. It was leftfield, ambient techno, and an emotional experiment. With sulking melodies, awash with bold pads and synthesizer patches, albeit the track “Glacier”. It contains 4 tracks which mean a lot to me. The track Glacier was actually a live experiment, comp’d and mixed afterwards, and included an AKAI drum machine live, the Microkorg synth, bass patches and more, all improvised. It was tracked back in 2011. I then compiled more recent recordings, and mixed my tracks into a 4 song set, that is quite emotionally presented on tape. It is an excursion into soul-searching, yet grounded. Here it is on any platform, officially was released April 15, 2022. The concept of the Glaciers, a pressing world issue on climate change, and realistically, about ever-changing landscapes. Artwork by a friend from B.C., Canada.
Excerpt from Facebook post: About 1 year ago, released the “Glaciers EP”, a 4 track sonic excursion and musical adventure. Though a bit serious and sombre in tone, it includes “Glacier”, mixed with guitar effects, bass, Microkorg Synth and The Akai XR20 drum machine, plus 3 other soft synth soundscapes, with granular sound design and editing. It was musically inspired by Autechre, Radiohead, Boards of Canada, Plaid, and other artists. Here is the blog post, includes a link to stream it or buy it on any platform you wish, Soundcloud, Apple, iTunes, Beatport, Youtube, Soundcloud. Enjoy it as much as I did making it!
