Chapters is a collection of cinematic, piano-driven electronic pieces inspired by a defining season of life spent living in Germany. Each track captures a different emotional landscape—some bright and rhythmic, others soft, reflective, and dreamlike—mirroring the changing chapters we all move through. Blending organic piano with subtle electronic textures, the album invites listeners into an imaginative journey shaped by nostalgia, movement, and possibility. Chapters is both a snapshot of where M.K.Sol has been and a soundtrack for where he is headed next.
M.K.Sol is an independent composer and producer creating cinematic electronic music rooted in emotion, imagination, and movement. Blending dreamy piano melodies, chill electronic textures, and whimsical sound design, his music invites listeners into deeply personal landscapes that often feel like scenes from an unwritten film.
Originally inspired to compose for movies after releasing his first album in 2011, M.K.Sol has continued to evolve a self-taught style shaped by curiosity, intuition, and a lifelong connection to melody. His work has earned placement on SiriusXM radio,appeared in a Netflix series, and attracted a growing global audience—most notablywith his track “Flutter By,” which has surpassed 180,000 Spotify streams.
Written during a transformative period living in Germany while working as a nurse caring for U.S. military personnel, his latest release “Chapters” reflects moments of transition, reflection, and wonder. Now based again in Albuquerque and entering a new season of life, M.K.Sol continues to create music that helps listeners travel inward—and elsewhere entirely.

Bluebird, is a gorgeous step forward into the Tailor Birds world – a chance to dream, a chance to wander through the mist, to float through a world of light and dark, as we then wake up from our dreams to the beautiful real life crisp birdsong. Richer, dreamier, perhaps even darker and more vibrant than her last recordings, Bluebird is as wild as the place it was recorded in – a converted henhouse in Ireland, a former home of goats & chickens.
This song is the first single of 9 beauties releasing monthly through the year before 2027 sees the release of the stunning 3 part album.
This song features Tailor Birds’ creator, Sophie’s stunning vocals and her trademark live looped electric 5 string dreamy violin at the core of the sound, and features some stunning guests including Vinod Prasanna and Paya Lehane on flutes, Benjamin Smith on guitars, our long standing drummer, Daniel Brates on percussion, plus a guest vox shimmery moment from Terence who built the henhouse, and who also, alongside his wife opened his home for Sophie to record this album in. Bluebird also features plant music biosonification from the various studio sounds converted into electrical currents, including the steps of the ladder that was hanging out in the studio, some aloe vera, and a paper birch tree. Plus there’s the stunning foley art in the form of bird song, dog sounds, handwriting glimmers, and some smashed glass too. Recorded in the converted hen house studio, the song was then sent to our beautiful guest musicians across the globe, before the song was then threaded together
Dream folk musical wonder, electric violin magic, plant music biosonification, Tailor Birds has always tried to experiment with wondrous concepts, most recently recording the electrical currents of the studio walls via her plant music work. Live shows and her latest recordings aim to connect us all to a sound deeper than the earth, to help the listener regain a sense of calm and peace in a world of chaos, whilst also inspiring intrigue and wonderment. Reminiscent of the work of Nick Cave and Enya, and sometimes described as music for a video game not created yet, Tailor Birds’ performances have filtered through wild community experimental festivals throughout Europe, and in Australia from down in the Tarkine forest in Tasmania up to the rainforests in far north Queensland. This music sits on the edge of mainstream, but also fits into a world of its’ own.

Here is a great new single from Tassies Premier Blues band, we are loving it on the playlist.
Music is the great enabler! Channelling emotions into song can turn negative into positive, whichwas a remedy when I wrote Wasted. This song describes love with a narcissist. Lies, secrets,disrespect, predictions of betrayal and enabling of bad behaviour. That’s not kind love, that’scruel love. Gut feelings, warning signs and omens in your dreams. Waiting for heartache on awasted investment. The songwriting of this track was a great outlet for processing a negative experience. What a treat to have Russell Pilling in the studio with us, hands on, old school,producing this song as we recorded it.

"The DK Effect Release Single ‘What Happened To Love?’"
After their Chart Success Last year we are pleased to add the new single from the forthcoming album to our playlist.
What Happened To Love? is a conversation between a couple in conflict and a relationship that has seen better days. It is about feeling trapped, wanting to escape but having nowhere to go. The song’s ‘call and response’ is like a battle of pettiness, highlighting how years of building tension can cause ridiculous and melodramatic overreactions to the most trivial of issues. This was a really fun track to record and is even more fun to perform. The soaring harmonies at the end of each chorus really showcase the fabulous vocal chemistry within the band and the jazz/funk groove lets the backline funk out.
The track was recorded at home using vintage (old and cheap) equipment to get an authentic, earthy and organic sound, and was expertly mixed by Aria Winner Russell Pilling and Mastered by Andrew Beck (Damien Gerard Studios).
The DK Effect are an original 9-piece soul, funk and RnB band known for their four powerhouse vocalists, rich storytelling, melodic harmonies, and the passionate, polyrhythmic ‘call and response’ vocal synchronicity inspired by gospel music.
Their debut album, ‘Moving Time’, showcased their diverse repertoire. The album spent two months in the TOP 10 of the Australian Blues and Roots Airplay Charts.
Recording at the iconic Frying Pan Studio was a unique and amazing experience for the band. The studio offers stunning views of Berriedale Bay and Kunanyi (Mount Wellington), creating a relaxing and inspiring environment. There is a viewing window into the studio, allowing museum visitors to watch and listen (via headphones) to the recording process. For the band, it was fun being an ‘exhibition / performance artist’ during the recording process – almost like a live recording.
The band has performed at numerous Tasmanian venues such as MONA (Museum of Old and New Art), Altar, The Moonah Arts Centre, Kickstart Arts, Salamanca Arts Centre, The Clarence Jazz Festival, The Playhouse Theatre, The Taste of Tasmania Festival, Rektango, the Uni Bar, Street Eats Franko, and the Republic Bar.
