"THIS IS NOT MY BEAUTIFUL WIFE!" -Villanelle

At some point as a creative, you’ll hit a technical density ceiling — so beyond that, it’s like “Well what can I say now that no one else is expressing?”

Pick three small things that repeatedly annoy you, and spend a dedicated block of time fixing them tomorrow. Reducing friction really multiplies over a few months.

More than sometimes, being “decisionless” and falling into whatever you come upon next is the best decision after all. Preparation sets you up so you can improvise and adapt to environmental surprises.

Vangelis, Burial, and Zach Cregger believe in not overthinking creativity and going with it! As Cregger sez: “… it just felt right. It was just one of those things. I really try not to think about anything when I'm writing. I don't want to intellectualize anything.”

It’s natural to huff your cat when they smell of funnel cake or other cozy confections.

The searing superb synth Dawesome KONTRAST is out! Makes wavetables tactile to surf (gnarly aggro basses! Blissy pads! Metallic chimes!), great w/MPE — you'll be a Dune Guild Navigator surfing thru spacetime! I did a demo for it, scroll down 😊 🎵 www.dawesomemusic.com/plugins/kont...

soundcloud.com/uvi-official... "For V" w/robochoral fragility, a neo-baroque requiem about two+ months in another world. Delamain: "We all lap up the last of our fuel eventually. But that hardly means the journey wasn’t a joy." Electronically produced with UVI's Augmented Choirs.

I’ve a pet peeve for portmanteaus that don’t flow smoothly.

If there's ever an open-world game based on Stephen King's The Dark Tower saga, a New Game+ mode would absolutely make sense — think about it.

If you’re going to play a melody, go all out — don’t just paint vague contours, get to the heart of the matter and exponentiate catchiness, reinforced with boldly complementing chord progressions. Then, season with glitchy dust and call it a day. 😅

You know what else is fungible? Mushrooms!

soundcloud.com/plughugger/o... TORLEY x Plughugger - Sandevistan Slipstream Featuring the sounds of Assembler for Spectrasonics Omnisphere Beatless yet intense — perceive those timeslices in fractionalized increments, then act accordingly.

soundcloud.com/plughugger/o... TORLEY x Plughugger - Corpo Choom Featuring the sounds of Operator XY for Spectrasonics Omnisphere Inspired by the contrarian cyberpunk notion that maybe just sometimes... a megacorp can be your best friend.

Don't allow your emotions to be so swayed by arbitrary phoneme sequences — words mean things, but only if we let them.

44 torley.bandcamp.com/track/arcana... Recognizing where I am now (an email to an old address) and a Psykosonik-tinged description to end on. Then here comes the ascent! The adventures continue...

43 torley.bandcamp.com/track/2222 2x2 with 2x2 = 44. Yes, I haveth too much fun rocking out with dose solos. Ride the chops!

Things that turn on faster are likely to be used more.

torley.substack.com/p/the-incred... The incredible importance of cognitive continuity aka "seamless resume"

Making music — like doing crossword puzzles — is a nice way to pass the time. 👍

soundcloud.com/uvi-official... TORLEY x UVI = Anthological Awesomeness for Prisma - Producer Lab Stroll down memory lane feat. classic instruments in this jazz-adjacent thwonky number. Stay for the solo at the end of the road.

42 torley.bandcamp.com/track/triple... Triplets have such a funny feeling, I had to be declarative and cosmic here. Joy of reversing squelches with Jean-Michel Jarre-like space-plucks.

41 torley.bandcamp.com/track/improv... I perform a lot of stuff in a single take, one go and onto the next pass. It suits the energy of moving upwards, diagonally speaking. And what I don't use gets into the next track —

Wokeasaurus Rex, the first DEInosaur. Circa 234 million years ago.

40 torley.bandcamp.com/track/midiev... Started as a happy indie game experiment, with some sweet dungeon synth sentimentality, and here we are.

39 torley.bandcamp.com/track/thaine... Cross-cultural Black x Thai exchange. Respect to the OG B-Boys, taken into the wat-temples. Pleased with handling the choppy Amen voxdancing @ 0:45. Sometimes, virtual is better than real.

38 torley.bandcamp.com/track/regal-... Imagine a throne room covered in a supahplush fuzzies, and you're rolling back and forth — this sound is what it feels like!

37 torley.bandcamp.com/track/runnin... TBH. I know it has crisp claps and ascending progression. The challenging fun is representing the density equivalent of an 8-min. EDN track in a 2-min. portal.

36 torley.bandcamp.com/track/bobafe... My wife made up this catchy melody in honor of our cat, and I had to take it further into a militaristic bounty hunter march. I guarantee you won't hear anything else like this.

35 torley.bandcamp.com/track/refres... I'm fond of the sound of ice cubes clanking, ever since first hearing 'em dithered on a classic. This beat revolves around that frozen water!

34 torley.bandcamp.com/track/accide... This is so-titled as I started with something bare, and as I'm wont to do, decided it needed an electric guitar solo @ 0:48. I kept painting new layers, 'til done.

33 torley.bandcamp.com/track/baroqu... Another idiosyncrasy I'll often resort to are future-baroque riffs, after Spectre VR's Cyber-Bach mode got me hooked. Electric harpsichords ahoy!

32 torley.bandcamp.com/track/all-ab... Returning 1998, or something like it. Used to listen to those System F/Ferry Corsten remixes of William Orbit's pieces, and this is my take on it w/mildly hardstyle kick.

I source samples from disparate origins, an odds 'n' ends motley crew on an adventure together. Once on divergent life paths far from each other — uncoupled from prior genre yet retaining cultural context — they now find themselves sharing a purposeful shared vision. 🤝 💎

31 torley.bandcamp.com/track/disco-... J'adore the stings and stabs and swells and scoops that only disco strings can provide.

30 torley.bandcamp.com/track/balls-... Athletic, muscly four-on-the-floor number reminiscent of alien tennis.

29 torley.bandcamp.com/track/no-oys... Hypermaximalist paean with with acerbic bass and cute toplines. I fancy nurturing the AG Cook/Charlie XCX/SOPHIE roots and growing them in colorful pots.

28 torley.bandcamp.com/track/push-p... Downtempo yet with scurrilous chitters. I have a way of repurposing funk bass. And the solos fall every which way, as dropping a sparkling bag o' polymimetic crystals.

27 torley.bandcamp.com/track/fretna... Guitaristic plainsong, with the pastoral folk theme I keep coming back to + theremin-esque. I like starting with a single line, then building and BUILDING!

26 torley.bandcamp.com/track/realit... Name was in my back pocket for awhile, came true here due to changes like the ramp-up @ 0:29. Once I get a great momentum going, the world feels alright.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXCW... "Starlight Over Agria" an homage to my fave things Vangelis-esque and cyberpunk utopia — Blade Runner with rose-tinted glasses 😎 🌹 TORLEY x John Louis Kluck's Replications for Omnisphere 2

25 torley.bandcamp.com/track/saint-... Breakbeat science and stutter edits captivated little me, like a magician's illusions. To this day, I do my own spin on those precision-bound glitches. I wish Andy Page would make more.

soundcloud.com/theveryloudi... ...i have taken all your children... Featuring the eerie keenings of The Very Loud Indeed Co.'s BANSHEE horror vocals... will we ever find a way out from this darkness?

24 torley.bandcamp.com/track/swinge... I've used the "interlock" to describe when layered grooves align. Watch out for the harmonica, some of this is like 2-step garage gone deep south Americana.

23 torley.bandcamp.com/track/quad-t... See if you get the "reference", it's a spicy folktronica nod. I'm proud of the melody @ 1:04, I resurrected it from many years ago.

22 torley.bandcamp.com/track/postmo... 1950s shopping music. Fits with playlists situated in abandoned malls, even better if there are reconomy vigilantes who're selling from the stalls. So lush!

21 torley.bandcamp.com/track/food-b... Sometimes you don't expect much in life when you're down on your luck, and are grateful for the things people donate to keep you going. I sure am.

20 torley.bandcamp.com/track/thaidm "What if Thai music combined with IDM/braindance?" Herein layeth some traditional Thailand vibes plus skittery beats. OMG I really like those builds.
