There are a number of artist groups and record labels pushing boundaries and showcasing some of the most talented up and coming artists in the music scene so far. One of these collectives is none other than Serotonin Signals, who have continuously brought some incredible art to the forefront of the electronic music world. Today, we have the pleasure of premiering one of these astounding tracks from artist, Seeded Vision. His latest release “Archways” combines soothing downtempo sounds with tempo switch-ups and electric synths to make an absolute heater of a track. From start to finish, its infectious energy captivates listeners, entrancing them with its wonky vibes. There is no doubt that we are going to be hearing this one rinsed out far and wide for a while! Let’s take a deeper dive into why we are calling “Archway”, a certified bop.
“Archways is a tune I wrote while in a phase of exploring rhythm and tonal sound design, particularly focused on how to evoke a space of metal exploration.”
Diving Deep w/ Seeded Vision
1. How did you decide to get into 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?
I have been passionate about music ever since I can remember. I got my first guitar around age 10 and was always really into metal and rock growing up. I got into old school/ “conscious” or underground hip hop when I was a teenager, which led me and my brother Mikey (Opalescence) to get our first shared Maschine Mikro Mk2 at age 17. Though, the most influential/determining factor in deciding to pursue music came a couple years later.
It’s a long story but I was living in a tiny apartment with my mom, Mikey and my best friend Jordan. At the time, I was still set on just making hip hop beats but Jordan kept trying to convince me to learn Ableton and, to be honest, at the time I didn’t think I was capable of learning the seemingly alien language I saw on the screen while I watched him produce.
I finally cracked and decided to really dive in and learn Ableton after a profound psychedelic experience I had while listening to some of the artists I now consider foundational inspirations to my journey.
Shortly after, I enrolled in Dubspot, a music production school for Ableton, throwing me into full devotion to this craft.
I really have to give credit to Jordan, (aka Primal Vibration) for inspiring/ opening up the door and my mom for always supporting my path in life and music. They have both passed on from this plane and I owe so much to them. Rest in Peace 💚
2. You definitely have a very unique name for your project. Does the name have a specific meaning or derived from something in your life? Is there a story fans might not know about how you came to this name for your project?
The name Seeded Vision came from the same profound experience which got me into Ableton. The meaning behind my name is a combination of portraying the geometric nature of music and reality, and the affirmation that you can create your vision through dedication, like a seed growing into a Tree.
3. What kind of impact do you wish to have on the scene 1-2 years from now with your project?
With my project I write music that makes me feel something. It’s a necessary process for me to access/channel my emotions, though I also love movement arts and dance so that gets woven into my music as well. My aim is to have a positive impact with my music, to contribute depth and connection through sharing these vulnerable aspects of myself with this artform.
4. 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?
There is a saying along the lines of, “If you go deep enough into one subject, you learn about all subjects”.
Dedicating much of my life and focus to music has taught me so much about myself and about life itself. Just the dedication aspect alone is a huge part. Working a really long time on learning and mastering a craft has given me a level of purpose and drive that keeps me reaching for new levels. Especially in the times we are living in with short term gratification as the norm, the process of dedicating oneself to a craft is insanely powerful.
Really, my best advice for aspiring producers is to constantly explore and be curious, to find your own unique expression and sound. Don’t rush the process but also put in the work to reach your goals, be consistent. Don’t try to be anyone but yourself because your unique expression, is well that, unique.
