Square Peg: A Little History

2024 02 19

Square Peg is a project I started when I first moved from playing metal to writing and producing electronic music. The three EPs are a progressive exploration of synthesis and sequencing possibilities as I learned how electronic sounds could come alive. A blend between synthwave and other dark styles, the music was made to be exactly what I wanted to listen to while driving around the city at night. Mostly by serendipity, though.

Coming from being a drummer in a groove-oriented metal scene, I have a lot to learn about what made a good composition when working with pitched instruments. The work I did under Square Peg has given me the skills to take my music further down my own path. I started producing faster and heavier techno styles in late 2020 and I haven't made much music since then that I feel would fit the Square Peg pathos, but I do plan to finish that material and release another Square Peg EP sometime not too far down the road.

Check out the Releases Highlights page to hear some examples. I have a goal to add track details for some of the more technically interesting projects.
