Very nice. I like the sound design, and the way the arrangement evolves.

I love it,
Sounds a bit like "Edgar" from Modselektor, rather dark and gloomy.
sounds great and clean.

Have you listened to Autechre?
Reminds me of their more ambient 90s stuff.

Nice one,
sounds like music for sci-fi anime.
At 2:16 I was expecting some change/progression.
Good sounds.

Thanks Vince-Noir-99,
I've been a fan of Autechre since Incunabula. Although, Amber is my fav
Cheers!

Thanks jappe for the feedback!
Funny you should mention sci-fi anime, Follow Me was partly inspired by a recent viewing of Akira (and Bladerunner).
Cheers

Duuuude! This is incredible!
Really love the scrambled beat, and the fade in just building that suspense.
Man your beats are brilliantly constructed, i really like this.. It reminds me of some of MOGWAI's more recent stuff.
Has a real post rock experiment vibe to it to me.
Man, this is incredible!
SOLARIS is a beautiful beast!
GreT work! 10/10 would listen again

Mostly Solaris + Subtractor (bass), Rob Papen SubBoomBass (seq) / Punch (kick), various hand percussion elements mangled/spliced together. Stock effects

Hey BitLove, many thanks for your kind comments!
Being compared to Mogwai is very flattering!
I've had Solaris for a while, and couldn't give it any time, or composing for that matter (due to an auditory cortex issue), but I'm digging right into its capabilities these days.
Cheers!

Finally got a chance to listen to it thoroughly. Great tones and melodies. The mix is nice and balanced and it sounds very polished.

Fantastic sound design there! Very similar to Autechre, but just different enough to warrant its creation.

Cheers mate, thanks for taking the time to listen. Had some friends round last night for a few "beverages"and we gave some of your tunes a whirl as well - very impressed!
Your production is top notch, particularly how you've woven your vocals into your tunes (as opposed to just meandering on top). Impressive profile pic as well
Cheers again
