about pitchdrop.

Pitchdrop is a way for me, Jakub Josef Ramirez, to try and recreate the sounds inside my brain.

When I was 8, I would run a game on my Playstation, and get to a part with good music. I would then record the TVs audio into a GarageBand sampler, and slow down the song to a key I thought sounded best by pressing and holding a note. At the time, my knowledge of music began and ended at YouTuber intro songs, but when I would make sounds that I liked, I noticed how happy it made me.

I went on a 2 week camping holiday to the Lake District in 2022, and in that time, I came up with a project called Pitchdrop, based on messing with drums and synths in ways that never stop changing and evolving. After a while of ironing out the kinks, I made a demo called ‘Microcomposer’. Since then, I've been forging my own sound and making silly noises that make my head make sense, even for a moment.

I make my music in a variety of ways. I mainly use Logic Pro, but often will blend it with hardware synths and other software like trackers. Sometimes, my music will be a phone mic and a guitar. I absolutely love making music with others and I invite anyone who enjoys collaboration to contact me so we can work to make magic together!

My music is designed to be enjoyed in any environment, whether at home or on a plane, at a rave or in a library, in the background or in the focus. I love hearing ways that my music has helped or inspired people, and I can’t wait to make it for the rest of my life.

where my songs come from.

My music is usually inspired by how I feel in a place, or at a time in my life. Sometimes, I’ll make a track to capture an entire range of feelings, or maybe I’ll make a track about something extremely specific. Regardless, the songs themselves have no official fixed meaning, and I hope that each listening experience of my work is totally unique in what it evokes.

With my live performances, I try to blend my love for old camera footage and video editing with my music. I enjoy playing live very much and meeting people who like what I do. If you like my music, have a look and see if i’m performing near you.
