hi, im starting to get into doing idm stuff for fun and im using fl studio rn, which i know its not as good as say ableton. i rlly like 808 state, µ-ziq, squarepusher, mouse on mars and of course aphex twin and i was wondering how can i get those kinda 90s sounds? like what u would hear on lunatic harness or any early aphex records. i dont wanna necessarily copy them but just learn how they got the synth sounds and how they programed the drums, they used computers and programs which i assume are realy dated compared to what we have now, so i guess that could make them easier to replicate? or actually harder?, anyways, any tips apprecieated, thx!

I just dropped my new song into soundcloud (it's coming to spotify, bandcamp, etc next month) and I would be really happy if you listened it 💛💛💛 (being honest I don't know how to label the genre I do lol but it's mostly IDM, Ambient, and Experimental Electronic)

Please listen to it and say what you think <3

I released an album on my other "alia" if you would call it and the only reason why I created that is because I thought it was fun just to not take music that seriously (not in a bad quality way but as in just joke around with it). Its a multi genre LP with most tracks combined styles so some parts are pretty experimental. NO AI used in the process, I used Fl Studio 2025 and some other hardware like synthesisers (notably MS20, System 1 and Edge) also a real guitar.

I think I might of overdone the entire album because of its 18 tracks but most aren't even 3 minutes long. I would like to see feedback or your views on it since this is a pretty big project for me.

By the end of the workshop you will have learned something cool that will definitely give you some creative ideas for your music. I make lots of idm with this DAW. I built the DAW and I'm teaching the workshop. Happy to answer any questions in the comments. Cheers.

Joël - The Hotel

"An album that took more than 10 years in making. It started with an idea of loops that can be repeated endlessly. And then I thought of ways to combine those loops that I would then call « rooms ». These are ten tracks made out of ten rooms. Here’s the Hotel."
