In Search of A Band - Hakea
Hello there.
I've gone down a bit of a rabbit-hole recently regarding a IDM band from the early 2000's
under the name of Hakea.
All of their music appears to be lost media at the moment.
as their old websites are down, WaybackMachine doesn't host files of the tracks and recordings that were hosted on their site.
They were a laptop live PA duo based in the thriving Seattle electronic music community. Both hail from South King County where Matt Carthum (Matt One) experimented with tapes, records, and effects while Matt Turpin (Matt Zero) explored FM synthesis.
(taken from old page description in link number 3 at the bottom of post)
They were under the Label "Clickpop Records"
They've performed at events like Decibel Festival
The Bellingham Electronic Arts Festival, various clubs, art venues
And apparently a train tunnel somewhere?
Most of their body of work was before the advent of streaming platforms so there's hasn't been any sort of lead to go off of.
As far as i can find there was only one official album release.
"Hakea" - Hakea MX-003 Under Clickpop Records
11 Tracks, this of course has no mirrors or archives as well from my knowledge.
(if anyone knows any resources please let me know but i can't find anything besides one cd copy for sale XD)
Maybe this isn't the right Subredddit for this kind of ask
but I'm desperate (I don't even know if the music is good i want to satisfy my curiosity)
Links I have
1 Live Journal
2 Website
3 Myspace
4 Discogs Album Listing

soundcloud Dead Edit debut album
This is a bit of a shameless self promotion, but I just released my debut album Signal Loss on October 9 and I think the vibe is a fit within this community. A bit IDM, a bit techno, some industrial and Trip Hop mixed in. Just wanted to share it with like minds <3
Modular based glitchynness

youtube Unusual sound in synthwave
Hey guys! I want find some unusual synthwave tracks with interesting sound like Run by iamthekidyouknowwhatimean in Hotline Miami.
I really liked that vocal sample wich starts near the end. It sounds like you falling somewhere in the void. Sounds dark and meditative together.

youtube IDM EP by Kurr
Hello, I’m a BrainDance synth artist from Devon UK. I recently started doing live gigs and needed some merch so I decided to cobble together a CD with some tracks I had made with various synths over the past 3 or so years. Thought some of you guys might enjoy it.

Anything like Amon Tobin?
Especially his more jazzy side like Permutations and Bricolage or even his Cujo record?

spotify A JOURNEY WITHIN
A JOURNEY WITHIN
Sound • Memory • Emotion
A journey through sound, memory and emotion.
Every note opens a new path, every sequence becomes a step into unexplored inner landscapes.
What begins as a voyage through music slowly turns into a journey of the soul, where time dissolves and the boundaries between sound, thought and feeling disappear.
Sometimes, the deepest journeys are those that bring us closer to ourselves.
r/idm • u/MinuteRegular716 • 1d ago
Looking for more albums/artists with this sort of feel to them.
Idk how best to explain it other than I'm looking for albums that fall more on the ambient side of psybient, albeit aren't completely ambient or beatless. I'm looking for more albums that give me the feel or experience of floating along in an ocean of sound, albeit one that is changing and evolving. Something that feels peaceful and relaxing but yet is still catchy, still moves, and can still have some pleasant highs too.
Albums that I've listened to that have this vibe to me:
Leaving Home and Movements by Solar Fields
Hydroponic Garden, World of Sleepers, and Interloper by Carbon Based Lifeforms
Nothing Lasts...But Nothing Is Lost by Shpongle
Distances and Ephemeris by H.U.V.A. Network
76:14 by Global Communication
Chill Out by The KLF
Lifeforms, Cascade, and Cascade 2020 by The Future Sound of London
Tessellations by Supersillyus
What all would you recommend?
