Tryptic 2.0
Vibin' N Thrivin'!
A long time ago, in the dreaming...
Tryptic was first conceived 1996. In it earliest days, the music of Tryptic was pure and primitive electronica created for the most part by stringing together samples in a tracker. The creativity of this early era peaked in 1997 with the creation of a six track demo called "Songs of the Apocalypse".
And then, the blessing of death was at hand..
After the creation of "Songs of the Apocalypse", Tryptic receded into the background. The primitive production tools available were insufficient to realize its musical aims, and with no light appearing at the end of the tunnel, the music entered into an 11 year silence. All that remained of Tryptic was a little pile of ashes, the crumbling dust of dream and an idea....
'Exit Planet Dust' and enter the phoenix...
From the ashes of the dream that was Tryptic, arose the phoenix of Tryptic 2.0. As before, Tryptic 2.0 is still primarily electronica; However, it refuses to be locked into one single genre. Songs span and mix all genre of electronic music and include many rock and metal influences.
Enjoy!
The Mass of the Phoenix
This here is my latest offering from Tryptic 2.0. It is a dance track that fuses electronica and rock elements together and is called "The Mass of the Phoenix". A hi-fi mp3 version can be downloaded HERE . The song was inspired by and named after Aleister Crowley's ritual of the same name and represents my first real steps using the Access Virus TI synth.
Coming Down (Sunrise at Sylvester Street)
I've just uploaded a copy of "Coming Down" to the server. This little tune is my first real foray into music production outside of Reason. It is a slowish ambient piece of electronica set over the top of a hiphop beat. The song is an attempt to capture the feeling of a certain place at a certain time. When, where, why and what should be aptly hinted at by its title.
The Sanctum Regnum
I'm glad to announce that the first song recorded by Tryptic 2.0 is now available for download. It is call "The Sanctum Regnum". The song is vaguely trip-hopish with its groovin' RNB beats and its haunting synths, though the addition of big sounding guitars in the chorus adds something of a rock edge. It is available for download both as an MP3 and a Reason 4 published song (requires drums refill).

Tryptic V2.0: A Phoenix from the ashes
The arrival of the last bit of hardware for my home studio marks the rebirth of "Tryptic"... a musical project that has been fallow since 1997. Tryptic was originally conceived in 1996 after the demise of my band, R.F Brahm, and is the name given to my current (and all my post RF Brahm) musical endeavors. I hesitate to call it a band name, as well... there is no band as such ... just me, some instruments, and some recording gear; But, for all intents and purposes that is exactly what it is.
