Arrival

A new name / a longer story

This is not
the beginning.

San Jose made the instinct. Australia made the practice. The Philippines gave it distance. Gabriel Forbes is the name for what comes next.

He learned music first by ear, then by repetition: guitar, voice, software that once felt out of reach, five years abroad, and roughly one hundred tracks in a single year.

The throughline

The pulse moves forward.
The feeling looks back.

Electronic music for movement now — and the feeling that catches up with you later.

Prologue

Previously / AWARENSS

Nothing before this was a false start.

Before Gabriel Forbes, two records appeared as AWARENSS. They remain where they belong: not hidden, not rewritten — the opening chapter.

03

Formation

Three places. One working language.

01

San Jose

Instinct

Bay Area hip-hop, hyphy and rave culture. Guitar and voice before production.

02

Australia

Repetition

Five years away. A studio built. Roughly one hundred tracks in one year.

03

Philippines

Perspective

The place where the work became public — and the name finally caught up.
