Transient Lines – Calm Unrest (Spotify)
“Taken from the latest "Transient Lines" EP this track is not just another Downtempo single, but carries some kind of magic. The artist attracts your attention with gentle wave patterns and a variety of sophisticated sounds. A true elixir, which we loved from the first listening. Congratulations!”
-Nagamag.com
Transient Lines is the electronic solo project of Max Lanzinger.
The combination of rather dark spheric elements with driving beats could be a rough description of his music.
Calm Unrest is a testimony of his drive as a musician that arises from a certain inner restlessness. At the same time the contradictory title aims to describe a felt quietude and peace whilst getting lost in the process of creating music.

Synthesizers: Synthesizers are electronic instruments that generate sound by creating and modifying waveforms. They are an essential part of many electronica music genres and are often used to create a wide range of electronic sounds, including bass lines, lead melodies, and special effects.
Drum machines: Drum machines are electronic instruments that are used to create and sequence electronic drum sounds. They are an essential part of many electronica music genres and are often used to create beats and rhythms.
Samplers: Samplers are electronic instruments that are used to record, manipulate, and play back audio samples. They are often used in electronica music to create beats and rhythms, as well as to incorporate pre-recorded sounds and samples into music.
Digital audio workstation (DAW): A digital audio workstation (DAW) is a computer software program that is used to create, edit, and produce music. Many electronica music producers use a DAW to create, arrange, and mix their music.
DJ controller: A DJ controller is a device that is used to control a digital audio workstation or DJ software. Many electronica music DJs use a DJ controller to mix and scratch electronic music in real-time.

Vocals: Vocals can be used in psychill music, although they are not always a prominent feature of the genre. Some psychill tracks may feature vocals as the main focus of the music, while in other cases, vocals may be used more sparingly as an additional element within the music.

The lyrics of psychill tracks may be abstract or metaphorical, or they may be more literal and narrative in nature. In some cases, vocals in psychill music may be treated as another instrument, with the use of pitch shifting, effects processing, and other production techniques to create unique and otherworldly sounds.
Overall, the use of vocals in psychill music is a matter of artistic choice and can vary widely from one track to the next. Some psychill tracks may feature prominent vocals, while others may use vocals sparingly or not at all.
These are just a few examples of the electronic instruments and computer-based production techniques that are commonly used in electronica music. There are many other electronic instruments and technologies that are also used in electronica music production, each with its own unique capabilities and characteristics.
