Imposter Syndrome is the new album on Artificial Owl Recordings from Michigan based musician and artist, Orbital Patterns (Abdul Allums)
The third installment on our record label is a magnificent sound journey, full of emotions, created by a modular synth workflow that describes Abdul’s signature sound and vision.
“A psychological phenomenon where a person doubts their own abilities, internalizing a deep fear of being revealed as fraudulent”
As an artist, one of the many questions I think about is: how much of this is skill & how much of it is dumb luck? Or choice in synth voice? Or what dsp?
The fear that I might only be as good as my equipment, or my mix, or some other thing that tugs at the fragile fabric of my ego.
That fear is a constant.
The endless, stalwart companion on a musical journey that is composed of decades.
And it always will be.
Challenging my comfort zones.
Forever leaving me with the question:
How much of this is skill & how much of it is dumb luck?”
Written between the summer of 2020 & 2022, “Imposter Syndrome” is a modular synth 10 track music album utilizing looping modules & pedals with a combination of digital & analog processing.
