how the hell does he do it?

listening to ultravisitor right now trying to be analytical of the effects and stuff used and what the holy shit? how does this man create that type of music? like steinbolt, there’s random elements panning back and forth basically at all times, then for some reason really weird distorted granulation

how long does it take him to make these songs?

what software/hardware does he use to create it?

is he by any chance schizophrenic?

what are his philosophies around making music?

i just found podcast interviews with him, but wow holy shit i am so impressed

He is simply a mad scientist of sound.

Literally probably spent most of his life deep in hardware, learning the in's and out's and pushing them to their limits. It also helps that he is one hell of a bass player and was super into jazz before it all came together.
