Vessels by Noon Instruments is a beautifully textural synth instrument built from re-amped analog/digital sources, resonant metal objects, and tape. Grainy, cinematic, organic, and full of character — a truly unique-sounding synth and sound design tool that is one of the notable releases of the year.
Emergence Audio’s Infinite Guitar reimagines the electric guitar as a vessel of motion and stillness — blending ethereal ambience, soft distortion, and organic movement into one of the most evocative instruments the company has released yet.
Wavesfactory’s Re-Esser redefines de-essing by splitting vocals into tonal and sibilant layers you can process independently. It’s not just about taming harshness — it’s a creative, musical vocal tool that’s both surgical and inspiring.
This isn’t an update. It’s an evolution — a full leap beyond the event horizon of hybrid scoring. Kepler 2 pulls you into a world where sound becomes gravity, emotion becomes motion, and every note feels like the start of something colossal.
Design isn’t decoration — it’s communication. In this conversation with Nataliia Hera of Voger Design, we explore the soul of interface design in music technology: how beauty influences creativity, how empathy shapes sound, and why every pixel carries a philosophy.
Oracle by Teletone Audio bridges eras — merging the warmth and grit of iconic analog monosynths with the clarity, depth, and flexibility of modern sound design. It’s full, juicy, crisp, and somehow vintage all at once — a rare achievement that makes it one of Teletone’s most versatile releases yet.
Heavyocity’s Dystropia is a masterclass in atmosphere — a toolkit of desolate textures, analog warmth, and cinematic emotion. Some of the best pads I’ve ever heard. Period.
Polarity | Tension by Soniccouture is a dual-stream granular instrument that turns industrial noise, extended techniques, and abstract textures into a sonic playground. With 180 inspiring presets, a stunning interface, and endless sound design potential, it’s easily one of the most creative releases of the year.
A conversation with composer Jordan Chin (Monster Train 1 & 2) turned into a reflection on creativity itself — from painting Warhammer miniatures as meditation, to lessons learned in the gym, to the vulnerability of music and the balance between curiosity and deadlines. This blog dives into the deeper philosophy behind Jordan’s work and the universal challenges every artist faces.
Milestones can deceive us. Hitting 100 podcast episodes isn’t about numbers—it’s about persistence, meaning, and connection. In this reflection, Markus explores why numbers are hollow idols, why persistence is a mental superpower, and why true artistic success lies in creating meaningful change—starting with yourself.
