Smoke Sine

Smoke Sine

Smoke Sine is the 5th EP from NYC based electronic artist, Kolby Wade. The six track arrangement delivers Kolby’s trademark sounds – a mishmash of vintage synths, drum machines and thumping live percussion – laced with unexpected, organic guitar riffs. Mood bending tracks like ‘In the Night’ and the spirited rhythm of ‘The Companion’ deliver a sense of surrealism, while exposing the buoyancy and energy derived from NYC’s underground pulse.

The EP’s choral vocals tell a story without words, with a rich landscape of symphonic instruments. An ambient mix of sound and samples interweave melodic fluctuating tempos creating an organic flow.

Following an intense 6-month tour across the US and three consecutive European tours, Kolby began writing his debut EP. The long anticipated Absorb the Quiet is a blend of vintage analog keyboards, drum machines, live percussion and field recordings from his travels to Egypt and Cambodia. These one-of-a-kind recordings create a natural melody that cannot be manufactured, adding depth and mystery to his work.
