Looks like I have found my next treasure after Ulrich and Helios.

His Last.Fm profile describes just what I want..

quote:

Lennard van der Last (1984; Nijverdal/The Netherlands) shook hands with his computer just a little while after he was liberated from the kindergarten: at the wondrous age of 8 he started out using trackers to create his own electronic music. Before that joyful encounter he loved taking control of his brother’s keyboard; more than the piano lessons he perfunctorily attended to at that time. The piano lessons ended prematurely, but never dampened his enthusiasm to make music. At the age of 12 Lennard experimented with synthesizers and other musical gear. Old tapes from that era prove his remarkable talent for atmosphere and melody.

Piano, Synth, Melody..

I dont actually have any of his albums yet, but I gave a listen to his samples on various websites and its amazing.

Check this track Memory Table free for download from here:

I am looking forward to hear his album 'Tryshalsa' and 'Vega Libre' and I am excited!

I really don't know why I haven't started a thread about Secede yet, because he really is a great artist.

I can tell you that Tryshasla REALLY didn't let me down. Leraine is by far his best track, it'll blow you off this planet. The rest is pretty too, but not as pretty. Memory Table, Halt Them, Return From Island CX are some other recommendations (well, you've already heard Memory Table). Good luck on hunting down all of his material! Also check out the other artists on Sendingorbs, especially Kettel (Through Friendly Waters is amazing)!

I like this one




Thanks for pointing it out, I didn't know about this guy

Hahaha.. thats brilliant.

I discovered Secede a few months ago - brilliant music; it's such a shame you can't buy Tryshasla.. Waiting for a reprint but it probably won't happen
I really like the diversity in this album; Friday Fall is very uptempo while Shrine is incredibly beautiful - I'm not sure I'm able to explain why I like this track so much; it's both melancholic and melodic - it has an impact on me that I rarely experience.

If you like Schnauss and Helios maybe you'll like Tripswitch - Deer Park as well. You can find a sample on Songza

Thanks guys for the suggestion.. I checked out Kettle's two album.. 'Through freindly waters' (which was okay for me) and 'Myam James part 1' which was excellent.. I love the track 'Kroost Kids' (to which you can basically Rap.. I mean its like a Rap track with vocals stripped off).. Church, Fishfred and Twinkle Twinkle from that album is also good..!

From Secede I listened to 'Tryshalsa' first.. I played tracks individually in randon order and it wasnt good experience.. but than i played the whole album again in proper track sequence and it was totally different..

'Vega Libre' album from Secede totally stands out.. the first album that I could think of after listen to VL was Sasha - Airdrawndagger.. this VL is so much like that album.. and Discogs just confirmed it for me.. its labled 'House, IDM' as genre..

Secede is totally and completely awesome. His music can be described in so many ways, but i can really just recommend listening to it. Actually pretty much all the stuff from the Sending Orbs label is 100% quality. Discovered the label some years ago, and Kettel & Secede have quickly become some of my absolute favourite artists.

The previously mentioned Tryshasla is definetely one of the best albums i have ever heard. It's true that it's out of print, and I'm not sure if they'll ever do a reprint, but something a lot of people might not know is that Sending Orbs recently opened a digital download store.

At http://e-orbs.com/ you can download most of their releases, and the albums are pretty cheap too! The download of "Tryshasla" (320kbps/FLAC) only costs €10!

Anyone who hasn't heard anything by Secede, check him out, you won't regret it! It's some of the most beautiful music i have ever had the pleasure of hearing
