A Conversation With Gerion and Timmy

Q: How would you describe your sound?

Gerion: I would definitely call it timeless and organic. I try in sound designing to stick to classic synths and organic imperfect recordings to create nostalgic but yet modern sounds.

Timmy: I would describe my sound as tangible and honest, in the sense that I’m trying to capture moments and set scenes using acoustic and analog instruments at hand, even if this means they come out a little rough around the edges during the recording process.

Q: Can you give a brief look into how you create your sounds?

Gerion: When I'm producing, I try to put melodic elements together with weird organic textures—layering and manipulating both together on the group bus to create something unique but recognizable.

Timmy: I’ve built up a collection of weird synths and instruments over the years that I use as a base palette in my work, but I’m constantly manipulating organic sounds—like running pianos or vocals through tape machines and guitar pedals—taking something familiar and bringing it into new sonic worlds.

Q: How do you hope producers use the sounds in your pack?

Gerion: I would love producers to tap into a more creative space and ignore streamlined production like starting out with chords or the usual drums. Try to focus on interesting texture loops you can create with this pack and build around that.

Timmy: I would love producers and artists to really use this pack as an expansion of their own musical intuitions. While I love the idea of someone taking a drum loop from this and really tinkering and experimenting with it until it’s something unrecognizable, using a guitar loop as the foundation of a completed song—without any alterations—would be just as rewarding for me to hear.

Q: What are some of your favorite pieces of studio gear and why?

Gerion: Recently, I got an old TUBE ULTRAGAIN T1953 Preamp I grabbed from a garage sale. It creates some very interesting high-end harmonics when I'm driving it. I also got an ALESIS Midiverb4, which creates some very nostalgic digital time-based effects that have been used all over the '90s. Random gear like this gets me into a creative flow state, and it's just more fun to turn actual knobs.

Timmy: The Cooper FX Arcade guitar pedal has become a huge part of my music-making process recently. Running anything through it and tinkering with it always yields very interesting results—a happy accident machine. Taking long experimental pedal jams and cutting them down into more concise and palatable loops is quite addictive. My old upright piano is probably my favorite piece of gear. It has been moving around my family for generations, built in 1886, so it definitely has a ton of character and some stories to tell. For this project, the Fostex 280 tape machine was a huge asset in shaping the tone of guitar sounds—pretty much using it as a mixer, EQ, and by turning up the gain lots, a beautiful distortion device.

Q: What piece of advice would you give to your younger self starting in music?

Gerion: I would tell myself: Producing music consistently is more valuable than learning about it. The errors and frustrations along the way will teach you more than any YouTube video can.

Timmy: Just start putting yourself out there, follow your gut, and make the music that you want to hear.
