When it comes to music, one melody can transport any listener through time and space into a completely alternate reality. Many artists try to tell stories with their music, painting pictures through notes, bleeps and bloops. This is especially true for up-and-coming bass master Andriod Dreaming. We have the absolute pleasure of premiering and showcasing his latest track “Decorating Time”, a bass-heavy tune that will captivate both the ears and the soul. Fueled by its future bass sounds, this track will have anyone tuned in with its catchy melody, deep booming bass, and glitchy auditory experience. We definitely are going to be blasting this one for the foreseeable future. Let’s take a deeper dive into why we are calling this stomper “Decorating Time”, a certified bop.
“I slowed down on releasing music last year to focus on developing my sound and exploring new production techniques. ‘Decorating Time’ is the result of some of the happy accidents that occurred during this period.”
1. How did you decide to get into making music? Was there a certain event in your childhood/life that made you stop and realize that you wanted to pursue a career in music?
Music has been a passion for as long as I can remember. I got really into the guitar when I was young, but fell in love with electronic music after being introduced to it in college. It really blew my mind to hear something that was so novel, going beyond melody and rhythm to exploring textures and other dimensions of sound. After finishing school, I picked up Ableton and I was immediately hooked on producing.
2. If you had the chance to collaborate with any artist of your choosing, who would it be and why would you choose them?
A dream collab would be with Max Cooper. I’m consistently impressed by the creativity in his compositions, and the way that his immaculate sound design plays off of the harmonic ideas in his work. His creative use of technology for live performances is also really inspiring, and I think his work with setups such as ‘4d sound’ bring a really interesting way to experience music.
3. What has been the biggest lesson you’ve learned since you started making music? Do you have any words of wisdom for aspiring producers hoping to follow in your footsteps?
Be patient, and make sure you’re having fun! When you learn to play an instrument, it is a slow, rewarding process, and you can learn for a lifetime. Producing electronic music is no different, so you need to really enjoy the process. Find ways to inspire yourself over and over again – try new gear, learn from good teachers, collaborate, and challenge yourself. If producing is fun, it will continue to pull you in.
4. What’s next for your project? What plans do you have in the near future that you hope to accomplish as “Android Dreaming“?
Lately I’ve been trying to get further from a computer when I write, so I’ve been using synths, drum machines, and a piano a lot more than I used to. I’m writing a lot of music these days, and I’m trying to release more consistently this year. I’m looking forward to sharing a range of tunes from club-oriented tracks to weirder modular compositions and downtempo tunes. I’m also working on developing a live set and hoping to share a version of it later this year!
