about

Celebrating 10 years (2006-2016), Soilbeat was composed by 15~16 year old me.

This was my first serious effort with music, capturing the exotic and otherworldly vibes I was very much into and exploring at that time and age, a mixture of electronic mods* and moods, added with guitar tracks reversed and tweaked upon, and in general rather unusual sounding little bits of melody packed around 2 mins serving size. I think it's important to emphasize that everything you listen is "hand-made" (meaning they are not premade loops or factory samples, each and every note and instrument was played and assigned by me, then automated into the tracker).

* 90's-ish tracker style music

LEGACY DESCRIPTION:
(originally used in my old website when the album was released in 2006):

"Soilbeat, an instrumental album, inspired by the agitation of the ground, the pulsating movement of insects as a huge micro metropolis, agitated but imperceptible to the world in general. A persistent beat, engendered like all the different forms of life that exists there. Each melody handcrafted in order to encompass the diversity of sounds and harmonies that refer to the distant and remote memories of my imagination. Pulsing and resonating to the beat, these exquisite melodies will also catch your fancy. They will remind you of something familiar. As you make your journey through the different environments and moods created accompanied by the mixed beats and echoing melodious textures, you will find that this album is more diverse than you might think."
