Deano releases experimental track on One Instrument
31 December 2018
Last release of the year comes by way of One Instrument, a wonderful project run by Grand River. The platform allows producers to compose tracks using only a single instrument source. For mine I used layered sequences from the Moog Mother-32 which has been spiced up with an Eventide Space.

2 November 2018
Recorded live at TOY TOY at And Club on the 5th of October, this set felt like a breath of fresh air for me. I approached the night with the intention of creating a journey of ebb and flow rather than just hammering out the tough ones (but still keeping within my preferred style). Hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed playing.
