Hailing from Copenhagen, Virtual Jasper is an electronic music producer and artist whose arrival in the Scandinavian scene has been marked by both innovation and paying tribute to the styles that have influenced him. The artistic banner of producer and beat-maker Jesper Møller, he channels his thoughts into intricate sonic worlds that explore the fringes of the electronic music map.
Influenced by the electronic sounds that have come out of Scandinavia, Virtual Jasper infuses his compositions with a sense of adventure and exploration. Taking cues from pioneering artists like Aphex Twin, Virtual Jasper has been quick to earn a reputation as a visionary artist in his own right.
Making his entrance last year, he first shared his innovative sonic vision with his debut EP, the four-track release titled FLOWERS and has since shared a string of well-received singles that showcase his versatility and creativity. “Mellotron,” Virtual Jasper’s latest single, transports listeners on a nostalgic journey through the sphere of classic trance.
The track pays homage to the iconic sounds of the mellotron instrument while infusing modern elements to create an enthralling dance music experience. Setting an enveloping scene from the very start, airy synth touches and rattling percussive shots craft a mesmeric scene which gives way to an uptempo energy as the punch of beat, bold bass tones, fluttering synths and pulsing sidechained textures collide.
Dropping the arrangement back to a moment of hovering dreamy aesthetic, the track drops with zapping synth leads to inject a thrilling sound of contrasting electronic tones. Developing with playful lead flourishes, the track serves up an uplifting slice of euphoric dance music wrapped up in sensational sound design.
Providing a spectacular display of Virtual Jasper’s originality as well as his talents as a producer, “Mellotron” is a stellar new cut from an exciting artist on the rise. Paired with the single is a cutting edge visualiser created in collaboration with Brainchild Creative Studio and directed by 3D artist Dániel Bothazan. With futuristic scenes of robotic arms shaping a diamond like gemstone, the visuals provide an engaging accompaniment to perfectly go with the forward-thinking sound of the track
