Curved Light Drops the New Single "Goldleaf"

Peter Tran aka Curved Light is one of Holodeck's most inspiring new editions. His brilliant work with modular synthesizers has been blowing up the local scene here in Austin since his arrival last year. Holodeck is thoroughly excited about his new tape Channelview, coming out next Friday May 19th.

"Goldleaf" is the newest single from Mr. Tran. This gorgeous track is based around precise rhythmic patterns that melodically interplay and unfold well beyond their basic elements. Minimalist yet complex, this song puts you in a swell mood.
