Seemingly caught in garageband limbo, alka (bryan michael) would have liked to believe that by 2007, humans would have progressed in their musical tastes. Experimenting in a genre largely criticized for it's lack of emotion, alka blends styles to create music that is both melancholic and uplifting; synthetic yet melodic. Alka's music is vast enough to go well with wide open spaces or condensed urban settings... it is the place where lucidity and obscurity meet. Alka's long awaited "Principles Of Suffocation" full-length release is out NOW.! If any electronic ambient album in 2007 should be labeled elite, this is one of them. Blissful melodies, sharp and innovative rhythm work, and atmospheres bigger than the universe are all stuffed into these 12 songs. Very reminiscent of old Future Sound Of London, Arovane, Plaid, etc., but in a fresh new cutting edge way. ]]> Virb 2.0 (@_alka) en alka on facebook :: http://bit.ly/2De5Ta :: let us unite. http://virb.com/_alka/posts/status/6169896 http://bit.ly/2De5Ta :: let us unite.]]> Sun, 15 Nov 2009 13:04:20 -0800 http://virb.com/_alka/posts/status/6169896 some great SynthEdit project emulators / originals VSTs :: http://bit.ly/185HDh http://virb.com/_alka/posts/status/6168076 http://bit.ly/185HDh]]> Sun, 15 Nov 2009 11:04:27 -0800 http://virb.com/_alka/posts/status/6168076 my current decline :: http://bit.ly/2J9IDm http://virb.com/_alka/posts/status/6167298 http://bit.ly/2J9IDm]]> Sun, 15 Nov 2009 10:08:16 -0800 http://virb.com/_alka/posts/status/6167298 excellent Synthi AKS emulator :: le synthé V5 :: http://bit.ly/Jt1G6 http://virb.com/_alka/posts/status/6165501 http://bit.ly/Jt1G6]]> Sun, 15 Nov 2009 07:16:36 -0800 http://virb.com/_alka/posts/status/6165501 Sequential Pro-One "percussion sample set" for FREE download from Tom of the... http://virb.com/_alka/posts/status/6157052 http://bit.ly/2F5jRB [ rt @redvoid ]]]> Sat, 14 Nov 2009 16:34:32 -0800 http://virb.com/_alka/posts/status/6157052 the Coil / Autechre connection explained in this interview with Rob + Sean... http://virb.com/_alka/posts/status/6154229 http://bit.ly/3mar35 RIP Jhonn Balance]]> Sat, 14 Nov 2009 13:30:49 -0800 http://virb.com/_alka/posts/status/6154229 Can't find any restore points in life's OS...
