SIAS x ROLI: A Collaboration Rooted in Movement, Sound, and Innovation

We are thrilled to share our recent collaboration and official feature with ROLI, the team behind some of the most expressive music tools in the world. As longtime users of ROLI gear, being spotlighted by them is a huge honor and a perfect reflection of where we are creatively. This moment also aligns with the release of our newest single, touch grass.

Creating Music That Moves

At the core of our sound is a desire to stay connected to music through movement. We have always wanted our process to feel tactile, alive, and expressive. That philosophy led us to build our own custom instrument called the Keylele, which lets us strum synths like a guitar and interact with sound in a more physical way.

In our interview with ROLI, we share how tools like the ROLI Piano M, Lightpad Block, and Equator2 have given us a more expressive and intuitive creative flow. These instruments are portable, pressure-sensitive, and fully customizable. They have helped us unlock spontaneity in both songwriting and live performance.

Behind the Single touch grass

Our upcoming single touch grass sits at the intersection of chill pop, indie electronic, and dreamy alt-pop. It is built on a blend of organic textures, ambient synths, and heartfelt lyrics that reflect the need to slow down, unplug, and reconnect.

This track belongs in playlists like Chill Pop, Dreamy Vibes, Indie Pop & Chill, and Fresh Finds Pop. We have officially submitted it for Spotify editorial consideration and are grateful for every pre-save and share that helps us reach new ears.

ROLI’s tools were at the center of this process. The Lightpad Block allowed us to build drum grooves that feel alive. Equator2 helped us shape the lush synth layers that make this track breathe. The Keylele brought a sense of movement and real-time expression that shaped the entire tone of the song.
