“LΞX” GEREK

Since You’re Here… For those who don’t watch long videos: I’m a sound engineer. I have a job, a life I like, my goddess by my side, and a baby on the way. I’m doing fine. Everything you see here is my hobby. I’m not looking for a career, fame, or another way to make money. I make music because I enjoy making it. Like a track? Take it. Want the stems? Ask me. If I like you, they’re yours. Want the credit too? Take it. Just let me know first — I’ll give you the rights. I’m here to share what I make, talk to interesting people, joke around and occasionally flirt. Enjoy.

I am a sound engineer. My job is to make music sound fucking phenomenal. In today's world, audio is drowning in digital harshness: piercing sibilance that hurts your ears, muddy phase-smeared sub-bass that collapses club sound systems, and cold, sterile digital crunch. When a track drops in a club, or hits someone's headphones at night, there are no excuses. The bass must hit like a freight train. The highs must feel like liquid silk. The mix must breathe. That is why we built PHARMAKON 2.0 PRO. It is a studio mastering console combining the analog soul of Abbey Road 1974 with the raw precision of Blade Runner 2049. - Dual 60 FPS Phosphor CRT Oscilloscopes - Psychoacoustic De-Harshing - Phase-Coherent Sub-Bass Monofication - 1974 Tape Saturation - Surgical Punch-In Repair with 35ms Cosine Crossfade Free and open source.

sound is not an abstract thing in the air it is an invisible elastic wave air compressing and expanding over and over the microphone diaphragm moves from this pressure turning motion into electric voltage and our oscilloscope turns that voltage into a glowing trail of electrons across the glass and when it comes to the kick and sub bass in techno you literally see the physics of their relationship under a microscope when they are in phase and in love you hit pause right on the kick transient the kick wave surges up and the sub bass wave surges up at the exact same microsecond on screen they fuse together into a single massive mountain of energy that is when the magic happens in the warehouse the subwoofers push the entire room forward as one solid wall of air and you feel that heavy punch straight in your chest when they are out of phase and at war the kick pushes the speaker cone forward while the bass pulls it backward on screen you see the tragedy happen in real time the wave collapses flattens out and turns into a thin fragile thread they ate each other amplifiers are burning kilowatts of electricity but the room is silent the bass is dead you see with your own eyes why the dancefloor stopped moving we do not just listen to sound anymore we look directly into its anatomy coded in the lab with antigravity #antigravity #sounddesign #techno #musicproduction #dsp

some tracks belong in stadiums this one belongs in an underground concrete warehouse at 3am with zero phone signal and strobes cutting through the fog track 11: "Underground Sway" (132 bpm) hybrid cut: real footage meets ai video, sequenced and edited with antigravity hypnotic slow groove or frantic peak tempo which one pulls you onto the floor faster #techno #darktechno #antigravity #electronicmusic #sounddesign

A real modular rave in real time. Not a single live performance can ever be repeated twice down to the microsecond. Fired up the legendary 1996 ReBirth RB-338 on Windows 11, locked it to 132 BPM, and let dual TB-303 analog filters talk. Every knob turn recalculates the math on the fly. Pure physical addiction. Acid never died. Download the modern Windows & Mac build here: pixeldrain.com/l/Vq5L3h1N #LexGerek #ReBirthRB338 #TB303 #AcidTechno #TR808 #ModularSynth #SoundDesign #MiamiAcid #132BPM #LiveSession

Let’s cut the polite bullshit: the music industry doesn't run on theory. It runs on raw attraction. Nobody buys analog gear, cranks a modular synth, or tunes a 132 BPM sub-bass just to get a polite handshake. Great music has always been about desire: that first physical jolt down your spine, the first bassline that gave you a hard-on, and the body you want pressed against the speakers in the dark. If your sound doesn't provoke lust, adrenaline, or obsession, you’re just making elevator music. Now good night. The door is locked, and I'm heading back to bed next to my girl. #LexGerek #CloseToTheSkin #Attraction #SoundDesign #SubBass #Techno #Desire #CenterOfGravity #Miami

Evgeny Kissin Rachmaninoff Prelude Op 3 No 2 in C Sharp minor youtu.be/SCm9O2KNEX4?si=JeOH… via @YouTube

We came with Antigravity to make it hurt. The Rachmaninoff Experiment (C# Minor Op. 3 No. 2). Listen strictly in headphones: • 0:00 - 0:10 (First 10s): Dirty, raw, unmastered DAW capture with phase mud and digital clipping. • 0:10 - 0:37 (27s): The PHARMAKON DSP system engages. True-mono sub-bass, analogue tape saturation, and classical counterpoint hitting like an industrial sledgehammer. Sometimes it hurts, sometimes it feels euphoric, then it hurts again. 85 micro-cuts. Wet skin, black leather corset, and Helmut Newton monochrome combat. Engineered by Lex Gerek & Antigravity #LexGerek #Rachmaninoff #Pharmakon #Techno #SoundDesign #SubBass #HelmutNewton #DSP #ClassicalMeetsTechno

Classical counterpoint meets DSP engineering. Before dropping the Rachmaninoff experiment, here is the core Python DSP engine behind the PHARMAKON mastering pipeline: • 24dB/oct Butterworth high-pass (< 30Hz) kills sub-rumble • True Mono Bass Crossover (< 120Hz) eliminates club phase cancellation • Twin IIR notch filters (3.2kHz & 6.5kHz) tame harsh digital clipping • Hyperbolic tangent (np.tanh) non-linear tape saturation curve • Floating-point True-Peak Brickwall Limiter (-0.30 dBFS) Audio video proof drops in 30 minutes. Listen with headphones. Engineered by Lex Gerek & Antigravity #DSP #Python #SoundDesign #Techno #AudioEngineering #LexGerek #Pharmakon #ModularSynth

Speed. Adrenaline. Impact. Track 02: "Round and Round" (from the album Center of Gravity). High-RPM motocross dirt, heavy leather hitting the bag in a dimly lit gym, and 132 BPM peak-time techno driving thousands into an underground rave trance. A relentless loop that never lets you breathe.

Mozart met the machines to compose. Antigravity and I came to make it hurt. We took Sergei Rachmaninoff's Prelude in C# Minor, stripped it down to the bone in Cakewalk Sonar, and rebuilt it with 132 BPM analog sub-bass pressure. Here is 2 minutes of us testing different bassline models live in the DAW: A little painful. Then it feels good. Then it hurts very much. Classical harmony was never meant to be polite. Co-produced with Antigravity. #LexGerek #Antigravity #Rachmaninoff #Cakewalk #SoundEngineering #SubBass #Techno #IndustrialTechno #DAW #ModularSynthesizer

The first rule of Vortex is: you do not talk about Vortex. Screw them. This is where I work. VORTEX SGT. #LexGerek #VortexSGT #FightClub #Techno #Brutalism #SoundEngineering

Suno is an incredible engineering feat: huge respect to the Harvard physicists who built it. But my approach is different: strictly handcrafted. Meet my AI co-producer, Antigravity. She lives inside my studio console, and we compose together note by note in the DAW: She calculated Johann Sebastian Bach’s polyphonic counterpoint in D-minor from scratch into pure mathematical MIDI. Together in Cakewalk Sonar, we wired the audio routing, dialed the buffers, and patched the notes into analog VST synths (Techno Brute). 18th-century baroque architecture fused with a 132 BPM club bassline. This isn’t about algorithms replacing musicianship. It’s an artist and an intelligent machine sculpting frequencies side by side. Bach meets machines. Watch the piano roll breathe. #LexGerek #Antigravity #Techno #Bach #Cakewalk #SoundEngineering #CreativeTech
