Roland Zwaga Dreamy electronics, exquisitely produced. Definitely a headphones album. Lay back and drift away on this one.

kenchikuka It's an album that feels nostalgic and is dripping in analogue warmth. Hits the feel-good spots. Favorite track: The Mechanics of Time Travel.

about

Chase Dobson is a Denver-based musician and engineer with a diverse catalog of releases spanning many genres of atmospheric electronic music. Over the last decade, he has performed integral roles as a touring synthesizer technician and playback programmer, traveling worldwide with chart-topping artists like Rihanna, Tycho and M83. Currently, Dobson is a touring tech and studio engineer for GRAMMY award winning Australian electronic act RÜFÜS DU SOL.

Now, Dobson is honing his sound with ‘The Mechanics of Time Travel’ – his debut with independent label Young Heavy Souls (Detroit, MI). The album was written during the COVID-19 shutdown, a time when he was forced to slow down and focus on original music. With touring opportunities halted and a room full of analog synths, Dobson produced ‘The Mechanics of Time Travel’, a hazy analog synth-driven soundscape that evokes nostalgia and a sense of wonder.

The record is an ambient and cinematic journey through the vastness of a universe in constant motion. From deep pulsing bass notes that evoke the endless expanse of space to subtle melodic washes of synthesizers, ‘The Mechanics of Time Travel’ is a work of art that rewards both close and distant listening.

On the intention behind his latest effort, Dobson says:

“I really set out to create the record I want to hear. My past releases relied on heavy editing and programming. Mechanics’ recording process relies far more on playing, and I believe it can be heard in the end result.”

With an extensive knowledge of composition and unparalleled technical skill, it’s no surprise that Chase Dobson has gained support from ReGen Magazine, 303 Magazine, and Westword.

Immediately after hearing first notes of Witching Hour, I knew I had to buy this. It's got all those traces of 90's industrial, heavy on the synth side, very reminiscent of universes like Deus Ex and such. All I can see is augmented people, night, rainfall, huge concrete skyscrapers and this record on repeat. I hope there's gonna be more of this in the future, the music's simply too good.

WOW! What a discovery! I had no idea that Chase and other artists were until I saw Vimeo movies from Complexity Graphics. There will be more I hope. :-) Cheers! Martin Bailey - Power Escape/Hologrambient
