Wunderfish’s “The 3rd String” is a folk-inspired instrumental electronica track that was composed around a short sample the artist discovered and recorded on a worn cassette tape during a journey through Japan. The sample features a traditional three-stringed shamisen, and is juxtaposed against modern dissonant synthesizers and robotic drum machines - most notably a Japanese Roland TR-909. The track begins with the lo-fi Japanese folk-sample behind a simple break rhythm and steadily progresses into a “traditional” bassline and four-on-the-floor beat. This movement represents a humble journey from a lush, mist-filled forest to a sprawling, chaotic urban concrete jungle.

Model Earth is the 2nd single off my latest album released this past summer. This track is an ode to old school acid and progressive house and is my personal favorite from the continuous-mixed album. Check out "Moonlit Orphans" for the full story.more
