Boodaman's 'The Ninth Planet': A Modular Synth Journey Through Electronic Music

Boodaman, the Geneva-based modular synth enthusiast, invites us on a sonic voyage with his latest track, “The Ninth Planet,” a preview from his recently released album of the same name. In a world filled with musical genres and labels, Boodaman embraces the diversity of electronic music, and his music transcends the boundaries of traditional categorization.

“The Ninth Planet” opens with enchanting synth arpeggios that gradually introduce slow, evolving tones and melodies. These harmonies weave together, shaping the track’s structure, and eventually lead to a rhythmic and pulsating beat. It’s a journey where chords and melodies coexist, allowing the synth to take center stage.

Boodaman’s musical journey reflects his deep-seated passion for synthesizers and a profound love for music in all its forms. He refuses to confine himself to a single style or genre, instead opting to explore the vast spectrum of electronic musics. From electropop to drum’n’bass, trip-hop to house, and techno, his discography is a testament to his dedication to sonic diversity. If you must label him, simply call him an “electronical musics producer.” However, what ties his productions together are their simplicity, repetitivity, melody, and emotional depth.

His previous album, “Obédiences Électroniques,” was the result of years of exploration into synthesis and modular synthesizers. Using an array of vintage and modern equipment, including the Roland SH-101, TB-303, TR-626, Korg MS-20, Moog Voyager, and custom modular synth elements, Boodaman crafts a sonic tapestry that bridges the gap between the 70s and contemporary synthwave.
