In the art of putting the listener on edge, !llmind and Poutatorvi are two artists who each draw inspiration from the classic synth arrangements of Progressive Rock and Soundtracks to create powerful music. Listen to the frequencies which these two synth fanatics have to offer as they present individual music projects from 2015 which rely heavily on classic analog gear. "Analog Sweeps & Transitions" showcases synthesis by !llmind for producers to use as a way to add a unique an outstanding texture to tracks.


On "Tweaking The Space Time", Finnish band Poutatorvi use analog sweeps and transitions in their own right to take you on a fast-paced journey through their Progressive sound which blends electronic arrangements with Funk, Rock and World grooves. Just an example of how two different artists are carrying the torch for an obscure and timeless sound driven by the synth.

"Almost 6 full months of intense sound design & attention to detail were put into creating this exciting new volume. I know what it's like to become instantly inspired by NEW and un-heard-of drum sounds, so that's exactly what I've provided. Utilizing a series of advanced frequency manipulation from REAL drum sets (snares, kicks, hi-hats & various percussion), using state of the art vintage reverb machines (such as the AMS RMX16, L480 & a Baldwin Amp) stacked, layered & molded into one of the most innovative drum sets i've ever put together in my life. Interestingly enough, most instruments of today are tuned to our "standard" 440hz frequency. After much research, I've discovered that, in fact, tuning instruments to 432hz (instead of 440) yields a more "harmonious" frequency with the energies around us. Because of this, I've tuned every instrument to 432hz. This is by far my most advanced kit, to date. An absolute must-have for every producer's drum collection!" - !llmind
