a new soul



Today, I revisit the group that started this blog-- Villa Savoye. Still no knowledge about who is behind these sounds, from where they came, or any other related information. All I know is that the three tracks I have labeled 'Villa Savoye' came from the iPod of a former Excepter roadie. At 130-bpm, "A New Soul" is a classy Detroit-style track, with lush mid-frequency synths, some hi-frequency semi-acid squelch, and a vibe that goes along the lines of chillin' by the beach. A real mysterious find, if you have any information about Villa Savoye (or whoever might have done this track), please contact me!

Villa Savoye- A New Soul

Tomorrow, some disco gayness.

Hey-o,

Aforementioned roadie here. "Villa Savoye" was/is(?) some Canadian dude that hung out on the same synthesizer forums as I did in the late 90's. All those tracks on the ipod were demos he made to showcase his Nord Lead and Jomox XBase 09.

I never had a chance to thank you for returning my backpack to me. Obviously, I owe you more than an anecdote, but if there are any other mysterious jams from that ipod needing clarification, you have my number.

huh! good to hear from you-- that iPod was a treasure trove, changed my life. i thanked john fell for it at some point on ILM many moons ago, but now i get to thank you!

i think everything else is clear from that iPod. the Villa Savoye question has bugged me for ages though-- thx for the info.
