Drosophelia

The main musical outlet. Drosophelia tracks describe the most personal work, given the fact that some even are songs. The general tone is dark; the sound of sleep deprivation and paranoia set to music.

Drosophelia tracks are built around both organic and electronic instruments, supplemented by hand-crafted audio processing tools, most of which can be found on this site.

More behind the music details can be found here.

The Drosophelia discography spans 8 releases over a total of 52 tracks with a total running time of 02:52:38. Metadata for all releases is listed here. All music is available for download / streaming on the platform of your choice.

Work is continuous, with the intention to publish a new release on a yearly basis. To remain up-to-date with the latest efforts, you can follow Drosophelia on Instagram.

Following the pattern where Drosophelia releases are themically bundled within trilogies, "Nanitic" marks the first entry in the third set, which is to be fully released between 2023 and 2026.

The record is a short "dystopian theatrical play" told in roughly 15 minutes, dragging you into and out of Hell, through to ironic funk split over 4 styli...

Instar

2022

Single Instar is an instrumental piece that completes the second trilogy of Drosophelia releases, which was started by 6581 on the Moult EP.

Exuvia

2021

Second album Exuvia's narrative concerns an observation of human behaviour: where the desire to belong drives the adoption of a prefab identity, leading individuals to appropriate uniform traits that ultimately render them indistinguishable from one another.

As before, the albums production employs hand-written utilities available on this site:

Moult (EP)

Diapause

2019

Single Diapause is essentially built upon an algorithmic composition.

The track evolves upon an incrementally stacking blend of layers, where upon each iteration a new part is introduced, slowly reaching a climax.

The algorithm is based on rules devised by Duncan Lockerby, fed through the Molecular Music Generator application available on this...

Pupa (EP)

2018

Pupa is the first Drosophelia release and consists of four tracks.

While all of the tracks on this release are instrumentals, the atmosphere and sound design between them varies, combining instruments of both electronic and acoustic origins, which became the signature also evident on all later Drosophelia releases.

Pupa is available for streami...
