In this week's episode of New NoiZe, I introduce you to an album that had a significant impact on me last year. I was going through a period where inspiration wasn't at its peak, and my creative process was a bit unclear. I was in search of sounds and patches for the Novation Circuit Tracks when I stumbled upon an incredibly inspiring pack created by Krzysiek Steplowski. This pack includes 128 unique and well-designed patches specifically tailored for Novation Circuit and Novation Circuit Tracks, perfect for fans of artists like Boards of Canada, Tycho, Tame Impala, and more. The title of the pack intrigued me, and I decided to give it a try. 



Krzysiek, the creator of this pack, is a talented sound designer and electronic producer hailing from Wroclaw, Poland. On his YouTube channel, you can find not only his tracks but also a variety of sound sets and presets available for download on his website: synth-patches.com. 


While exploring Krzysiek's YouTube videos, I discovered a Bandcamp link attached to his profile. I followed the link and had the opportunity to immerse myself in "Becoming Dawless," an album he released in 2020. 


This album showcases Krzysiek's collection of dawless track sessions, all crafted using hardware and synthesizers. As I pressed play to embark on the journey through the first track, I was captivated from beginning to end. Krzysiek managed to hook me onto his album effortlessly. His super inspiring process had a profound impact on my creativity at that time. 


"Becoming Dawless" is a pure treasure trove of electronic gems, offering a genuine sonic adventure. Here are some words from Krzysiek himself regarding this album: "Dawless" signifies the creation of music without the use of a computer. This album compiles tracks from different moments, crafted on various instruments and setups. It serves as a memento of research and learning in the realm of music production. 


I look forward to share another album with you next week on Massive Radio!
