Izzie G ๐น๐ธ๐๏ธ๐๏ธ๐๏ธโพ๏ธ๐จโ๐ฆฏ๐#marschine 16 Neon Lights. Analogue drums lock you in and then the room starts moving. A cowbell rings out across an empty club, reverb filling every corner. Swelling bass on quarter notes, slow and steady. The pluck carries the melody and in the hooks a distant square synth guides it, a short pulsy synth nudging alongside. A high-vibrato piano synth shimmers over the top. Neon lights flashing all around you in time to the beat. You're the only one here.
m o n o s i g n a lSomewhere above, the sky loops old signals and forgotten stars.
Down here, the future drifts slowly, wrapped in neon and noise.
This is a moment between missions.
A pause in the circuit.
A heartbeat in the dark.

Matthew McGilvery (Nctrnm) on Instagram: "Live Reaction to My @retrosynthrecords Feature, PXL Album Explanation & Track Meanings | PXLTV10 | Part 3 In Part 3 of PXLTV10, I react to the recent feature on RetroSynth Records' blog and break down what makes PXL different from my past work. This album is emotionally driven electronica built directly from lived experience, not studio-first experimentation. I explain how PXL functions as an emotional map of a relationship unraveling, reorganizing, and ultimately ending, with each track acting as a chapter in that process. I walk through the meaning and intent behind key tracks, including: - York: a nostalgic memory-soap track recalling a 2009 New York trip, serving as a calm between storms - Ova: realization and slow emotional processing through swirling textures - Lighthouse: catharsis and a light in the dark, even when it feels heavy - Essence: the actual opening of the album, centered on gaslighting, confusion, and emotional unraveling This segment focuses on clarity, context, and why PXL exists the way it does, for anyone who has watched something fall apart and had to redefine themselves afterward. ๐ง Listen: pxl.nctrnm.com ๐ PXL Zine Issue One: https://www.tumblr.com/nctrnm/798979453401300992/pxl-zine-issue-1-tone-this-is-the-first-issue?source=share"

lorenzosu ๐ช๐บAnother re-release on #Bandcamp. This one is single which was also re-recorded and re-mastered.
Two Bits is a #retrosynth piece which only uses two chords (thus the 'two').
As with lots of my music I am also releasing the 'source' as GPL on #GitLab as this is all made on #Linux with #FLOSS ;-)
