KapTep is the ambient\drone project from US-based producer Derek Carter (Sullivan, Illinois). Always fascinated with sound and sound design his love of synthesizers began at an early age. His compositions are a blend of synth layers, loops, effects, and field recordings with the intent on creating an ever-evolving soundscape. The concept behind KapTep is to try creating the style of emotional music that he wanted to listen to himself. Every composition should evoke an emotion to which you can write your own story. Rain, static hiss, pops, and crackles are often the foundation layered under melancholy dreamy compositions.
