Five channel recording of the central heat constantly turning on and off because roommates can’t keep their mitts off it. I filtered out everything but the electrical hum, and mutilated it.

Executioner’s Song
TITLE: Executioner’s Song
DESCR: The soundtrack of a sinister world. One reviewer described it as “That’s some videodrome wet carnal nightmare. If I had more than a 3 hour old buzz, I don’t think I coulda handled it. There were mirrored images of bodies merging into themselves that are straight out my 7 year old nightmares.”

Broadly Crappy
My first long form diversion into percussion. There’s some good parts, but overall, it’s Broadly Crappy. I was floundering—mastering while arranging, while composing—by the time I got to the end I didn’t have enough stems to master. I’d’ve’d to drop back several gens and rebuild from there. Just don’t have it in me. I’ll take my lessons to the next project.
