Tides of Eternity - New Song Available Now! Grab a free download today!

Hey everyone! Like most of the world, I’ve been spending a fair bit of time lately hunkered in the studio while we wait out the COVID-19 situation. It’s a very curious time to be alive right now, but we shouldn’t just sit idly by and wait just because we’re safe inside. So I dug through some old files, started putting together some old tracks that were abandoned long ago, and over the next few…

Embrace the Fire - New Single!

Embrace the Fire - New Single! Listen now!

Surprise! I’ve just released a new single, Embrace the Fire! This one is chock full of funky slap bass, epic brass passages, and all the chaotic shredding one can dream about!

I gotta say, this song was a lot of fun to create, but really painful on the hands, especially all the bass bits. It was also used as an experiment for some new mixing techniques I’ve been messing with, including reamping…

Visitors – New Song, New EP, New Band, etc.

Hey everyone, coming in with a new update since it’s been about 6 months since I’ve posted anything. To start things off right, I’m dropping a new song right now called Visitors! 

This song comes off of an upcoming EP I started work in in September. This one in particular is very different compared to my other stuff, much more ambient and creepy. I’d like to get the EP out by the end of the…

Megalomaniac - New Album March 2018

Megalomaniac

So It’s been a bit since my last post, and there have been some changes and events since then. Let’s start out with some new music first. About a month ago I took up the Record Production Month challenge, where one is supposed to record and release an album in February. A few days ago I finished the project and released Megalomaniac! It was a fun little project and something that I feel a bit…

3 days in to Record Production Month, currently tracking drums and bass for two projects. Already have a couple songs done for at least two different albums. Things are falling together nicely. (at Okzygen Studios)

Late night shenanigans at Okzygen last night, some of the old crew back together for a few jams. Good times, gotta do it again soon and get everyone else up here too! Also apparently left handed drums are easier to play than right handed when drunk. Weird. #okzygenstudios #production #music #improv #jams #oglob (at Okzygen Studios)

Finally got my hands on a copy! Looking forward to listening to this beauty for Friday's spin at Okzygen Studios! Thanks Rick and Gailie! (at Okzygen Studios)

The tower of power. Now to spend the weekend installing everything. Or like, four hours. Solid State drives are awesome. #okzygenstudios #production #pcmasterrace #ArchitectsofEnigma (at Okzygen Studios)

[thestrode]

Pieces of the whole. Powers up tonight. Nothing can stop me now. #okzygenstudios #supercomputer #pcmasterrace (at Okzygen Studios)

[thestrode]

Awwee yeeaaah, just a few more pieces to go. Probably pretty easy to guess what's happening now... #okzygenstudios #newgearday #prettycolours #prettylights (at Okzygen Studios)

[thestrode]

Oh my. What do we have here? (at Okzygen Studios)

[thestrode]

Been doing some real funky jams in here the last little while. Projects are falling into place perfectly, expect new music out of Okzygen sometime soon... #ArchitectsofEnigma #okzygenstudios #music #recording #studio (at Okzygen Studios)
