Someone Close

Floating Points

Four tracks of pristine, club-ready modular synthesis. A masterclass in tension, release, and hyper-detailed electronic sound design.

This is what happens when a neuroscientist takes a modular synth into a dark warehouse club.

A restless, hyper-focused energy that balances pristine beauty with dark, club-ready intensity.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The sudden, earth-shaking entry of the distorted acid bassline halfway through Vocoder, completely shifting the track's trajectory.
The way the title track, Someone Close, slowly builds from a delicate, ambient shimmer into a towering wall of modular noise over eight minutes.
The intricate, interlocking drum machine patterns on Grammar that feel like they are constantly on the verge of collapsing but never do.
