Ortrotasce - "Seeing Red," a 2023 self-released single

Ortrotasce\\xa0(pronounced: or-tro-task) is the moniker for minimalist-synth artist\\xa0Nic Hamersly, who has been crafting his unique brand of dramatic darkwave for over a decade.

As he told the Orlando Weekly\\xa0last year, as a teenager, he fell in love with\\xa0experimental punk label 31G Records and its founder\'s band, The Locust, before moving on to bands like\\xa0Coil and Throbbing Gristle.\\xa0"I was more so into the harsher realm of electronic music," he tells the Weekly. "Power electronics and dark ambient and so on." He notes that his later influences leaned in poppier directions. "Hard Corps, SPK \\u2014 Machine Age Voodoo, specifically \\u2014 Fad Gadget, to name a few," he adds. "The juxtaposition between synth-pop and industrial in these groups just do it for me. You can probably hear this in most of my recent output."
