A new release from While My Sequencer Gently Bleeps, a pseudonym of Antonelli Electr.—best known under names like Harmonious Thelonious. Bleeps, dub, hybrid sounds, and the science of irregular time signatures. Truly wonderful when you take the time to listen.
Track List
The third EP by the adventurous and unstoppable Stefan Schwander that you might already know from one of his other disguises such as Harmonious Thelonious, A Rocket In Dub or Antonelli Electr. - just to name a few. All tracks were virtuously and solely jammed out on Elektron's Monomachine once again.
Deep basslines, ravey bleeps, piano chords and synth melodies are awaiting us and let us reminisce of Jamaica, UK and Chicago while stepping and dancing into tomorrow.
The EP starts off gently with 'Title Track'. The first bleeps, chords, an incisive bassline and we're already grooving. Strings are building the framework while some house piano and a ravey melody let us hum along.
'Sublime' speeds things up with its shuffling, minimalistic beat but the dub bassline holds it down and functions as a resting pole to the vibrancies around. A pristine synthline comes in and supports the meandering chords. Dance off.
On the flipside 'Definition Of ...' sums it up what While My Sequencer Gently Bleeps is all about: a deep bass as bedrock, lively percussion, a little melody, tiptoeing chords. Everything sensitively used, telling a story. Listen on repeat.

"While my Sequencer gently Bleeps" is a project by the eccentric genius Stefan Schwander, who performs under various aliases such as Antonelli Electr., Harmonious Thelonious, and A Rocket In Dub. This is a new release from Düsseldorf’s 〈Funkscapes〉. True to the name “Gently Bleeps,” the track features the beep-y tones of hardware synthesizers and breakbeats, with a dub sensibility at its core. While staying true to the label’s electro-funk aesthetic, it retains the unique character characteristic of Antonelli Electr. Highly recommended. (Original Japanese text by Saito)
