Summary
Hey friends/fans,
After all the support I got from you sweet folks in the pre-order campaign for United States, I thought I’d do it again for my new record Synthetic: Season 1. If you're here, you already know that buying artists’ albums/merch/tix is the best way to support them, so thank you!! Thanks to the 259 of ya that supported the last pre-order too!! Thanks very much for being with me on this musical journey over the passed 15 years at whichever point you got on board! I really appreciate and am grateful to you for enabling me to get to pursue music and create experiences for you as a my occupation. I am grateful and thankful for that every day.
So onto the new record…
The Record
SYNTHETIC: SEASON 1 is a record I started making at The National Music Centre in Calgary during an Artist in Residence program in March 2020. There, I got to record some of the most legendary rare-synths in the world like: Tonto, Moog Prototypes, EMS Synthi, The Roger Luther Moog, The Delta Research Program Synth, Novatron, Arp 2600s. It’s the first part of a quadruple album (the packaging is being made with an Obi Strip so that you can buy each record as it’s released and then combine them rather than waiting for a 4-record boxed set at the end). It’s a record that I’m making for both my current musical tastes as well as trying to envision what first made me excited about listening to synthesizers as a kid and trying to include those sounds as well like classic Moog leads or swelling Juno pads or modular arpeggiators. On these first 9 tracks, I play all the synths but on Seasons 2-4 will be joined by a couple hundred fellow synth enthusiasts.

Pre-Order Exclusives:
Like the last pre-order, you don’t have to wait for the album to come out October 19, we’ll send you it right away. You’ll have the album 5 months before release!
Also, only available on this pre-order, there will be Limited-Edition Poster by Lazerhorse. The vinyl is a Limited-Edition pressed by We Are Busy Bodies which will surely sell out like previous limited-run releases for We’re All Dying To Live, Ephemeral, Release, and United States. Finally, for the biggest supporters, there’s hand-written thank you letters as well as a collection of 9 of my previous posters.
