about

Building on ShaYne's groundbreaking 2016 album Broader Range, #GradTime is the next leap forward. While nodding to the current "synthwave" fad currently sweeping the electronic music scene, this EP carries it a step further. Or two. Or three! Combining the best of analog and digital sounds and recording it all at high-definition 96KHz digital audio, this EP experiments with dynamics as well. You have your punch-through dance energy combined with moments of pulling back, forcing your ears to pay attention to what's going on behind the scenes. Some sounds drop by -20 or -30db. Where did those sounds come from? Listen again.

What is "progressive wave'? Yes, you begin with the '80s dream-synth vibe, but instead of trying to recreate what Gen-Xers had -- which is what current synthwave artists are trying to do -- you move it on to Gen-Z. Twist it up. Chop up the vocals. Raise it up. Bring it down. Make it different. Forget the cheesy lo-fi '80s sounds -- everything now is hi-fi and alive. Look for NEW sounds. No tired old Linn-Drums or TR-808!

Welcome to the Progressive Wave Experience. WAV, AIFF, and FLAC downloads will be full-resolution 96KHz. ALAC download will be 48KHz for iPhone compatibility. All other formats will be standard quality.
