Free Synthetic EP at 20kbps rec.
I am pleased to announce my first professionally released album is available for free download at 20kbps rec. The music on my Colorsmoke EP is a bit stranger than my other releases are because the music is encoded at 20kbps. So I composed some special tracks intended just for the lo-bit realm. The album also gives the listener a choice of 2 versions of track 5, and a choice of 3 different cover graphics. Special thanks to Norbert Croonenberg for some layout/design help.

- Hi Steve,
Well, to be honest, I didn't think that the low bitrate file format would work, but it does and surprisingly well, especially on the more atmospheric tracks. It adds its own specific character to the music. How do you approach writing for these low res file formats?
Regards,
Michel. -

- I tend to agree with Michel re: it working well on the atmospheric tracks. Personally, I think it works less well with drums - especially any hihats.
I particularly like "Black ...", "Yellow" and "Brown" - they stand shoulder to shoulder with the best electronic industrial music I listened to in the 80s, and could be taken straight from a low-rate transfer from an old LP collection.
Great work.
