Synthonic - Lampin

Synthonic released his latest album, Lampin, and it is a 3D sonic circus that never ceases to amuse and surprise you! This composer began his musical journey at the age of 7 with the piano and tuba, setting the base for his future exploration. By the time Kieron Garrett (his real name) was 20, he was already exploring jazz, and before you know it, he created Synthonic. He has played with several bands across the UK and is now riding it solo. This album has a few fun collaborations, such as Jeremy Dunning, Jack Birchwood and Visilis Xenopoulos. All Day, Every Day with Synthonic All Day, Every Day is the perfect start to the album. It is a trinket of sounds that comes from all directions like waves around your feet, and it tickles your senses initially. At first, it is just the guitar and keys. There is a suaveness with which he writes music, almost like he maps out entire cities in his music and surprises you with a turn here and there. His history with the keys and tuba shines here. By the time the saxophone has its moment, he has already sold you the experience of the album. Big Fat Funk Big Fat Funk is a song that comes at full force right from the start. The wind instruments, especially the horns, make for their own entrance in a song to shift the track to another level. But Kieron flips that belief on its head with this number. The track makes its entry with a crisp and loud boom of the sax. In every song, there is an instrument or theme that brings personality to the track, and in this one, it has to be the sax. Not just because it dominates the soundscape, but because it weaves itself wonderfully and complements every other instrument in the song. Spiral Spiral is the last and longest song on the album, and it truly stands true to its name. The track is fast-paced and employs a casino of sounds. The track is visually stimulating with the many textures of sounds Kieron gives us. In every number, synth plays a crucial role, but here it is the star. If the song had colours that represent it, for this song, it would all be neon that rushes into your senses. You'd better buckle up for the journey that he takes you on in this number; it is bound to give you a whiplash. He truly ends the album with a bang! With numbers like this, it is bound to be used in fast-paced films that throw one fact after another quickly. A film like Oceans 11 would make use of many sections in this album, but especially Spiral. If you are into fresh music, then Synthonic is the person for you! He has mastered the art of playing with jazz and synth in such a balanced manner. You can click on the links attached above in order to listen to this music bender.
