Antronica 4 vs The Spoken Word up now on Bandcamp

Hi all. I'm back with another Bandcamp Friday release. 

Antronica 4 vs The Spoken Word, is, as the title suggests, a collection of synthy songs and experimental pieces. Throughout the Antronica series, I've taken songs of mine, old and new, and reworked them thick with analog synths. While I started out my musical life as a synth teen, the small audience I've built up over the years knows me more as a psychedelic power pop fellow. For me, though, synths are often the first port of call. With this album, though, I've also incorporated a dose of sample-madness into the act. I blame Logic! It was the Quick Sampler that got me going - decades too late! That said, Colin Moudling from XTC is one of the sampled guests on this album. He sent me a recording of himself talking Berlin specifically for sampling use. Rosie Abbott has done the same. While I mostly use her as a singer, on this album, she's one of the main speaking voices.  Apart from the lead off track (the one featured on the BC page), which was done in PT a few years back, everything else was recorded in Logic. It was a bit of a headache going back and forth between DAWs, but it was also quite fun living in Pro Tools land again. Anyway, maybe some of you might want to check out the album... it's not a "normal" release from me, but hopefully that's the idea!

Thanks,

Ant
