Steffan Koch (ASCAP)

Darkly minimal synth and piano scores for exploring the criminal underbelly of obsession and revenge. Ranging from the mysterious to the downright bleak, these ominous textures swell and pulse with malicious intent.

  1. Succession
    Succession4345/18 mixesWave of imposing gurgling synth sprawl into distorted, buzzing dystopia of a tech-laden apocalypse. The bleakness is narrated by a harsh synthscape that howls, punctuated by a growing brightness that offers hope, but with a heavy price.

    Loose Ends4345/910 mixesSomber, slightly muddied piano rises and falls, joined by faint strings and an overarching sad ambient background. Airy booms push the piano forward, only to be overtaken by an urgent pulsing bass that brings the strings along to a wailing finale.

  5. Amplitude of Tide
    Amplitude of Tide4345/347 mixesRolling bass is quelled by sprawling, calmer synthscape - but only for a moment. The bass overwhelms and throbs as gentle neon-laced synth dances around, fades, and returns with a more futuristic vibe. A rolling drum hops in and speeds it all home.

  8. Speculate
    Speculate4345/598 mixesSomber piano wanders into an echoing boom, opening up an ambient dronescape and sad waves of synth that reveal hints of faint futuristic synth loops. The piano demands its tragedy be heard, momentarily reclaiming the helm before being washed away.

  9. Deductive Reasoning
    Deductive Reasoning4345/6711 mixesMurky drone whines against resounding booms. Muddied synth is quickly turned dark, echoing out its bleak future as the somber landscape swells and recedes. Haunting piano is distorted, assimilated and injected with the rage of an evil synthscape.

    Inhabitant of Earth4345/789 mixesVibrating drone swells as beeping tones flutter around. Airy boom introduces a humming drone and straining, distorted strings; bell-like and moaning. The strings lurch upwards and fall, giving way to pulsing drone and an eerie cacophony of a finale.
