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.

Broadly Crappy


[Download: audio | video | video 2 | cover images]

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.
