As New turns memory, city noise, and solitude into sound. The project began when a school-run blast of deadmau5’s “FML” pushed him beyond his parents’ classic-rock vinyl toward electronic music production. Working from a small Brooklyn studio, he layers laptop, MIDI controllers, and a compact keyboard with snippets gathered on a field recorder—train brakes, storefront shutters, rain on scaffolding, letting the city breathe inside every track. Sweeping pads and restrained percussion give the music a widescreen feel that sits somewhere between club and cinema. His debut single “Daylight” landed on Spotify in November 2024; a first EP arrives later this year, widening the palette with fog-lit rhythms and subtle melodic lifts. Live sets stay lean for now with only a laptop, keys, programmed lights, and low fog, turning each performance into a moving silhouette. For As New, success is simple: one listener, late at night, finding calm in the city’s pulse.
