Stimulus EP Showcase @ ROOM_3 (Dieselworks)

Hey all! It's been an amazing weekend as I type this up on a Sunday eve. Hello and thanks to everyone who came to the Duckland party at Dareshack, it was a blast and way fun to test out many unreleased bits for the first time.

But before I get too ahead of myself, I also need to thank the Dieselworks crew for their work put into this event and to everyone for coming along for the music and connection! Here is the full set archive. Hope you enjoy :)

This EP has been a real long tim...

gyrofield - all the th1ngs she said (Track Drop)

Welcome to the new year everyone, I've decided to let one of my most requested tracks out of cold storage. This one will be kept online on the archives folder indefinitely.

In summer 2020 I became fascinated with the idea of a track that was carried entirely by a vocal and a reese. While one such permutation of this idea became PCM, on my EP 'Depths of Winter', another was created in summer 2021 and became this bootleg. I felt the gritty guitar cab texture of the reese fit well wit...

Sunday Funk 6 (and Happy New Year!)

Hey everyone, typing this up from my inlaws' place in Slovakia. I've had some time to think about the music I want to include in the past playlist and this one, and I feel like I want to make a point and relate more to my own music with this writeup. 

I see my way of writing tracks as putting together a series of themes, be it the traditional melody and counterpoint, an expression of a sound, a kind of interaction between sounds. Those are the true building blocks of meaning in the...

Sunday Funk 5

Welcome back to the penultimate curated playlist for this month. While the two previous playlists were built with jumping-off points for further listen from each tracks, this is curated for listening from start to finish. 

This time, the theme is dark, twisted, unconventional forms that still deliver on the functional end for clubs, and for focused listening at home. It remains a core interest of mine after 5+ years of gyrofield how conventional, more rigid club forms can be torn d...

Sunday Funk Vol. 4 (+ Hangout Session)

Hi all, welcome back to the next installment of curated playlists from me. This time we'll look towards older releases and deep digs on Soundcloud. 

But first, in case you've missed it, here's an interview on Noisia's Resonance IV compilation featuring me, Mefjus, MISSIN, & Nitepunk on Bassrush. This one features a slightly manic dialogue from me about a certain brain-infesting, ghost-writing rat named George. I started writing this as a joke but then the answers began to probe...

Sunday Funk Vol.3 (+ Hangout Session)

Hi all, sorry for the missed session on Wednesday the 7th. It's a tough time of year for me as I'm sure it is for many others, and unfortunately it means I am unable to commit to longer sessions on my discord server. However, I still want to offer my perspective and engage with you all, so I've come up with a semi-regular series that will begin with some monthly music sharing sessions this month.

I started making 'Sunday Funk' playlists for my discord showcasing all the music I'd been f...

Notice regarding tonight's Patreon Tutorial session.

Hi, sorry for the late notice, but due to personal circumstances tonight's Patreon tutorial session held on my discord will be postponed until 7th Dec.

'Retinues' Track Breakdown (Stream Recording)

Taken from gyrofield Patreon Tutorial #3 held on 23 November.

Unfortunate news, I've made an error with the mic settings on my track breakdown for 'Retinues'. I hope you'll excuse the absolute garbage mic audio on this track breakdown, and find the content useful nonetheless.

I also did not get to touch on the overall idea and the final vision I arrived on for the tune as I was feeling increasingly unwell. Hopefully we'll get to go further on these ideas sometime later.

I pr...

Upcoming this month on my Patreon

Hi, hope you're all well. I apologize for the issues with the sample pack and the silence. It's been a long couple weeks, I've rested a lot after the last month of gigs and finally feel more ready mentally to talk about things I've learnt lately.

I'll be hosting two live-streamed sessions on my discord server, for patrons only.

Production Update - Live on Discord this Friday!

Hi, in the past few months I have consciously kept privacy from social media due to factors of work & personal stress. However, I've still found new inspiration & wrote new material during this time. I often feel that the music that's newly released from me does not accurately reflect my current interests & perspective as those tracks were often started 6-12 months before release. 

I have decided to keep my patrons up to date with all that I have learnt, been inspired b...

Notice about June Patreon Content

'The Lie' Track Breakdown (Stream Recording)

Taken from the Evangelion for Beginners Behind the Scenes Session held on my discord July 13th 

The Lie is a very personal track to me & a lot of the nuance to it comes from the complex interplay and summing of simple instrument parts. There is therefore a large focus on the songwriting, the use of the vocal samples, and the way space is created and used as a thematic device.

Hope you find this session helpful, and gratitude to everyone who came out to the stream and stay...

Evangelion for Beginners EP - Behind the Scenes Session

Hey all! I've held the track breakdown of 'The Lie' to a good turnout, but for technical reasons the video was not recorded properly.

'The Lie' - Track Breakdown & Q&A! (Discord Live)

Hey all! For this month's extra video content I'll be bringing you all a track breakdown of track 5 from my EP 'Evangelion for Beginners'. The track comes out on July 15 on Overview Music so this is a chance to hear it in full before it releases :)

This one is a very special one for me, it's a track where I reminisce on young love and being queer, through the relationship Shinji & Kaworu from the anime & the rebuild movies.

Exclusive tracks for gyrofield Patreon July '22

(Evangelion for Beginners Teaser Set)  

Hi! Played a little URL + VR event last Friday with my lovely fiancée, showcased all the fun stuff in our collections & a lot of unreleased gyrofield - notably 5/7 of the tunes from my next EP on Overview Music.

Due to technical issues with the event & stream I've decided to give out early access to this set before it goes public after the release of the EP. I'm also giving out this set to all patron tiers!

Hope you enjoy...

Out Of My Mind (ft. inkwill) (2021 Remaster)

This is the version of 'Out Of My Mind' I've been playing out for the past year. For me this remaster combats some issues in mix clarity, especially in the midrange, and individual and overall loudness issues. Road tested & now available for patrons.
